Unless they've changed, the free version was CLI only which I'd not run for production. A big point of their HCA is the management interface, as well as the great support.

They're referring to the recovery partition created as default by Windows. They moved this with Windows Server 2022 to the right of your OS partition.

Ignoring the discussion as to the need for partitions, if you want to place the C: partition on the far right follow the below before installing the OS: Once you have booted into the ISO, Press “Repair” in the bottom left. Select to open a command prompt Issue the following Commands in order: Diskpart Select disk 0 Convert gpt Create partition primary size=250 Format quick fs=ntfs label=”Recovery” Set id=”de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac” flags partition as recovery gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001 flags partition not to assign drive letter create partition efi size=100 format quick fs=fat32 label=”System” create partition primary format quick fs=ntfs label=”Windows”

Hi, I won't advertise my company name here, but this is something we do and I'm happy to discuss in PM if you would like. Thanks, Jack

It's something like Xbox firewall rules that get created every time someone logs in, ends up absolutely rammed full.

Hi, Which option from here are you using? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/mail-flow-best-practices/how-to-set-up-a-multifunction-device-or-application-to-send-email-using-microsoft-365-or-office-365

I've set up AO with SSTP before; device tunnel not user. Not sure if something somewhere says it doesn't work but I don't remember any troubles during setup, the PowerShell script to set it up on the client just included the address for their SSTP server. Might be worth trying.

Can you setup an iPerf server internally and test from clients to that? As a comparison to SMB. Is SSTP an option too? Even if just for comparing tests?

Is this backing up to their cloud storage or local? Why do you need to change permissions in a backup? You should want immutable backups so they can't be maliciously modified in storage, I'd be concerned about moving to an alternative that allows that.

Too add to this I'd suggest a management VLAN so you aren't managing your network in another collision domain.

This is the one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154376120923?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=154376120923&targetid=1279609265446&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1007230&poi=&campaignid=9445986145&mkgroupid=123611895558&rlsatarget=pla-1279609265446&abcId=578896&merchantid=113600849&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5auGBhDEARIsAFyNm9F6pG9iBtZoSMS5YyhxoQZfNqozZqbTit3hpUMzGw5foZrvJ2NZrlgaAl6PEALw_wcB Not overly noisy.

Where I sit and twiddle my thumbs.

It's just point-to-point when it has to be considered but they usually scan the 5GHz range for radar and stay out the way, also being unidirectional mostly eliminates concern.

It'd probably be quicker with PowerShell tbh https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/restore-recoverableitems?view=exchange-ps

The only thing we've had to consider is frequency of point-to-point wifi but they have specific bands that are safe to use. No issue with regular building wifi.

What sort of improvements are they talking about? Surely nothing more than fitting modern APs?

I use DHCP option 43 which you'll find in their Layer 3 Adoption guide.

Datacenter and Standard edition per-core licensingWindows Server 2019 Datacenter and Standard editions are licensed by physical core. Licenses are sold in2-packs and 16-packs.Minimum license requirements • All physical cores must be licensed • 8 core licenses per processor • 16 core licenses per server https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/C/E/7CED6910-C7B2-4196-8C55-208EE0B427E2/Windows_Server_2019_licensing_datasheet_EN_US.pdf Licensing is only concerned with Windows.

Is this Windows Server 2016? If so is it fully up to date? There was an update last year that broke VPN routing.

8 2-core licence packs per 2 Windows VMs, when you get to around 10 VMs Datacentre is more cost effective.

Mesh Central is really nice.

There is support available as well as an additional support package at a cost.

Can pay to have it hosted or host offsite for next to nothing yourself.

What do the IIS logs say? Something is causing it to crash so you need logs or Sage support to find the appropriate crash dumps.

Ah, get ya. Completely glossed over the terminal part
