Just Teamed 3 adapters in my home. Why? Who cares why? Its lab, i can do what I want. Granted now LACP would be helpful, my switch can, I am just lazy.

Just called it a day for work. My onsite took a helluva lot longer than hoped. Got caught up enough to deal with the rest Monday.

Just powered off two DC's that had roles removed from it, leaving it down for a week before they are demoted.

Trying to do work for a customer and our admin account is locked out....hmmmmm
Interesting.
And of course we have timers set, so I guess I will sit on my ass for 30 minutes.

What is this running on?

Arrary on a MD1000 attached to a R720 for backups. Veeam backups.
Repository for 2 primary Esxi nodes and veeam replicating the vm's to another cluster for DR.
They are not using all of ESXi to the potential and they don't have the work loads to support ESXi.
Found out today HA was on, but not working properly. Fixed that.
Not using DRS.
Not using Resource Pools.
Lots of drive issues today.
Working with them to get them on HyperV.
Two nodes with a SAN setup....Don't go there, I know....

This job keeps sounding like so much fun.

Joys you find at clients working for an MSP. If I would have been involved I would have had some choice words.

Pudding...delicious!

I have a few of those Shirts from working with a known decent hosting company here in Dallas. I got one that says "Masters of disasters" with a picture of the Hindenburg on fire.
Zerto is decent for small work loads, but I would never ever put SQL or anything else that is high transactions under it.

one of our customers has jokes....He is a CPA, but I still found it funny.
..Snip....
Interestingly -

1. All of those emails are real - not junk.

2. It may be coincidence, but all 3 of these people are on my HOA board?????

Anyway, how do I fix this?

Thanks

One is a gmail, one is a icloud, and one is an AOL email.

@texkonc Yeah , Exchange 2007 is that much of a pain. I have just used Windows 7 32 bits machine and do the export with Office Suite (since it needs it) or I use Migrationwiz.

The customer sold a sister company of theirs. Now I have to export the old mailboxes to PST, and Bitlocker it and send it to the new MSP that runs the company they sold. The other MSP put them on 365, but they want it for Archive.

Early for date #2, killing time in my car

Yeah, I was chatting with Balber last night. It was not looking good this morning.

I priced Netwrix and....yikes

Not only the price, but setup and running auditing is overly-complex.

Not really, I ran the demo and easily deployed the User Activity Monitor and scared the crap out of 9k staff.

Finally setting up a password manager. Settled on Bitwarden. We'll see how it goes.

The things that make you scream in your sleep!

Why didn't MS ever fix the extend filesystem bug that you have to use diskpart for on 2012 R2?
Extend volume (Exchange) OK
Unsupported Operation, ugh, Damnit, forgot
open command prompt and do the diskpart magic...
