Do you have an install.esd on the iso/disk?
 
run: "dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:[driveletter]:\path\to\install.esd" to find the index of the image you want to deploy, then
run: "dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:[driveletter]:\path\to\install.esd /SourceIndex:[indexfromabovecommand] /DestinationImageFile:path/to/install.wim /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity" Some of these flags are optional.
 
You now have a Windows 10/server2016 WIM file that you can WDS like normal.
 
You can also use powershell, to merge the .swm files:
Export-WindowsImage -SourceImagePath path\to\install.swm ` -SourceIndex [indexfromstep1above] ` -DestinationImagePath path\to\install.wim ` -DestinationName "whatever you want" ` -SplitImageFilePattern install*.swm

SSH and Powershell for everything really...
Heck, setup an azure account and just use a file system connector.
Now you can just connect to a cloud based management console for any web browser.
 
Then you can start to automate things... then you can call yourself a cloud engineer, with actually being a cloud engineer.

your dns server is an IP address. that means it doesn't need to make a DNS request to resolve the IP address of your DNS server.
 
if you DNS server doesn't know what the IP resolution of a hostname is, it'll forward the request to whatever you've got configured in the DNS forwarders. If you don't have any DNS forwarders configured, you'll get the DNS timeout.
 
Configuring the DNS in your router will only make a difference to any hostnames your router needs to resolve, or if it's also your DHCP server, assign it to systems on your network requesting DHCP&DNS data.

whatever your most competent in. your not running raspberry pi, the performance difference between linux gui v windows gui or windows cli v linux cli will be minimal.

I'd say go for the HP, but that's because I have that model, and only just recently retired it for the Gen 10 model.
 
You'd want to check if the Qnap can do web server, node.js scripts, VPN server, mysql, or plex. if it does, you can either spend $x on the qnap, or 0.5X on the HP. your choice.
 
Don't expect super fast computing on either system.
 

What do you actually want to do with the server? SMB shares are much faster on Windows for example because it's native to the Microsoft ecosystem and Linux/BSD has always had trouble getting it to the same level. The same is true in reverse for NFS, bad on Windows and excellent on Linux/BSD.
 
There are a lot of things both platforms can do and ones where each one is more suited to it but as far as performance goes most people are unlikely see or need to actually factor that in, we're not running large scale networks for it to matter. Not wanting to pay for Windows server is 99.9999% the reason people don't want to use it outside of a business paying for it i.e. home use.

Licensing is the biggest issue, if the equipment was included as a subscription model, then great, I can move everything to opex. Unfortunately, I still have to justify the Capex. We ended up sticking to the standard Cisco's 2900 series, same cost, same features that we require, no recurring subscription fee, can be deployed where there is a requirement for 0 network connectivity outside. 
 
I'd like to look at the cost /benefit of moving off a MPLS network and using the multi spoke VPN, don't think we'd be able to get it done without something like this.
 

Somethings setup wrong, my setup looks like:
Physical device:

 
Virtual Switch:

 
Here's what you do.
1. undo every setting change you made to the physical adapter.
2. Make the changes to the Hyper-v Adapter.

Call me when I care about CS:GO and when monitors can do over 240Hz 
 
I won't be expecting a call though since I don't care about CS:GO and never will lol.

Can you actually read the source?
https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/7/17089850/microsoft-windows-10-s-mode-changes-2019
 
It's a mode, like gaming mode. think of it like "MacOS - you can't make choices for your self Mode"

Don't do this. DNS was created for a reason. Managing 100+ Hostfiles is practically a full time job.
 
DNS blocking doesn't really work. It's how IPs blocked TPB in Australia recently. Most people used google dns, and where not aware tpb was blocked.
 
look into a dedicated appliance designed for this. Cyberhound, Barracuda, Sophos UTM, and a few others will do what you want. Just make 2 AD security groups, 1 for unfiltered and 1 for filtered access. the device will use ldap to sync accounts out of AD so you don't have to manage it once you have your lists created.
 
Some of these appliances can be configured to act as a CA for all systems downstream of it, so most "secure" traffic can be analysed by the admin / restrictions can still apply (think of it as an authorized man in the middle attack on yourself).

Can we just have 2 stickied threads at the top of the News section:
1. Nvidia rumored to be working on new architecture, and
2. AMD rumored to be working on new architecture.
 
Just lock the above threads, as until AMD/Nvidia decide to exit the GPU market, they will be 100% accurate.

Your learning, you don't need everything to be ultra fast. FYI, virtual CPU cores <> Physical CPU cores. Also assume the old 4:1 vCPU to CPU core count, make sure to if you start 'bogging down' on the host OS, reserve a single core.

While, I agree, I also know how absolutely stupid people in general are, and you really need to have protections in place to stop organisations taking advantage of consumers, an no-one can possibly become an expert in all things.
 
i.e. Mechanic should be able to make these well-informed buying decision regarding cars, but it is unreasonable to expect it from him when regarding every other field that he is not an expert in.
 
This is not true of lawyers, I have yet to meet a lawyer that isn't an expert at everything /s

Open 'local security policy' (or do this in GPMC if this is enforced by a GPO already), look for Local Policies\Security Options\Interactive logo:Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL.
 
Not sure if it would show everyone, or just the last user, haven't really tested it, and it's a pretty stupid idea. If people are having trouble remembering their username, your naming convention is really bad. Easiest thing to do would be to re-name (use powershell if you have a few hundred to automate the process) all the SAMAccountnames for each user. A good convention is [firstnameinitial][lastname][autonumber(optional)]@[domain].[tld], [firstnameinitial][middlenameinitial][lastnameinital]@[domain].[tld] or [firstname][lastnameinitial][extracharacters from last name till unique]@[domain].[tld]
 
Otherwise if you can't get any meaningful unique and easy to remeber names, make everyone an Autonumber (i.e F12345 for finance users, S12345 for Sales, etc etc) and just assign the important (read exec team/upper managment) login alias' and ignore the end users.

nah, just start typing random commands into the console, eventually you will get the right one, and in the right order. 

Get certificate from pfsense box. Make GPO that deploys certificate to all clients on the network. All these systems now see the "external site" certificates that are issued by "pfsense box" as trusted. is the basic jist of it. guests will still get the "Not trusted", but you could setup a tunnel and push clients through that unsecured tunnel either via a white list or black list.
 
This is extremely common in schools to protect the kiddies.

1. Check for ping between servers, Check DNS and IP addresses.
2. Check for connection to Admin shares from one share to the next. (\\server1\c$ and \\server2\c$)
 

1. Get Domain
2. Get DynDNS subscription.
3. Have gateway update dns server every time it gets a new IP.
4. Use Azure/AWS/Google cloud for anything that actually needs redundancy / non-test/play sites.

Except the slide says LAUNCH SIGGRAPH 2017... So, it'll launch then, can't really say if it will be at volume or paper. Considering Vega FE is launching on the 27th of June (or at least I remeber somthing offical showing that), i'd say more then likely not a paper launch.
 
I'd say I don't like it, but if we get another 290x but without the shitty stock cooler, I'm fine with it, heck Im still rocking 2x 290 tri-x, all these years later, and I picked them up at launch.
