2x sites behind Meraki-MX65 - best way to separate VPN's to AWS
Hey Guys,
Just looking for a way to separate/deal with my Meraki to AWS site-to-site-VPN setup.
I've got two physical sites both behind Meraki-MX65 appliances. SiteA and SiteB. I also have an AWS VPC which is separated into different subnets (development and production among others). I've created 2x Customer Gateways in AWS and I've created 2x separate VPN connections in AWS for each site to connect to (so traffic from each site can go directly to AWS).
SiteA I've setup to connect to AWS VPN Connection1. SiteB I've setup to connect to AWS VPN Connection2
However, as both Meraki's are under the same Meraki dashboard tenancy, they're both appear to be grabbing organization-wide settings for the VPN's. Thus I'm getting some IP and networking crossover issues.
I figure I could solve this by moving the SiteB to a 2nd Meraki tenancy. However,...

Dell t440 (14th Gen) Server Hard drive compatibility
Hello world! I recently purchased a Dell t440 14th gen and I wanted to see what compatible hard drives I could buy in the after market world that is SSD that isn't crazy expensive like the proprietary dell drives. I saw that I could also buy a caddy off of amazon that houses the hard drives and fits the dell server bay. This is meant for a business of 50-70 users so its not a huge environment, Thanks everyone in advance.
What i'm looking for:
four 1 TB SSD Sata Hard drives

What Would You Charge & How Do I Say No?
Hi All,
I know there's already dozens of these threads on spiceworks but everyone is always willing to give their opinion on the matter.
The background of this story:
A 'friend' has installed a CCTV system in a business. He's now asking for my 'help' to setup the IT side of things.. (i.e. remote access / port forwarding etc.).
I've 'helped' this friend once before setting up the IT side of things with another CCTV system.. the customer ended up contacting me directly on a few occasions afterwards because they had some issues.. but I was only responsible for the IT side of things.. which was all working.
This is more directed towards people who have full-time IT jobs.. and these types of jobs would be on the side.
What would you do in this situation? How much would you charge? How would you say no? (to your friend).
Thanks in advance.

PE2900 (PERC 5/i); "Degrading", 1 Drive "Failed". How to fix
Hello and thanks in advance. I posted this on Dell but was hoping to get a more detailed answer, please.Let me start with the dreaded but common opening statement: "I inherited a PE2900 Server running RAID, which I have never worked with before (PE2900 or RAID". Please keep this in mind when responding.
The PE2900 has a Dell RAID Card (PERC 5/i), running 3 250GB HDs, one has a flashing LED and reports as "Failed". I have posted pictures of what I am seeing reported in the RAID BIOS (Ctrl-R). I also found, what looks to be the same drive (ST3250620NS ) on NE (9SIAAEE4TK6122). I assume I need to replaced?
The system is running fine. I would not know there is a problem if not for the "Degrading" message I see in the BIOS as the system boots. fyi All the PE Server is is a "File Server" ie shared folders accessed by 5 other PCs on the...

MacBookPro early 2011 suddenly crushing.
MacBookPro early 2011 suddenly shutting down after brief white
screen. I cannot immediately boot it on, I actually have wait for a few
days, then I am able to turn it on just fine for next couple of days
untill I'll have sudden shut down again.
I can't really nail what is the issue, I even cleaned CPU and applied new paste so it's not overheating as much. Diagnostics I was able to find show no issues.
Does
any of you had this issue? What are the diagnostics available to check
the Mac? Also how I can look at the logs on Mac to see why it's suddenly
crushing.

Active Directory Server got virtualised, what's next?
Hi All
We had a physical Windows 2012 R2 AD & DNS server which got virtualised into a new VM running on Windows 2016 on a whole new hardware.
This is the only DC & DNS we got. Now that I got this old server hardware I was wondering why not use it as second DC. There is no cost involved other than power so that’s path I am going to go.
To achieve this what is the best way? Do I have to demote this old DC and add the role as DC again? Could you please advise the steps needed?
- Turn ON the old hardware after disconnecting from the network.
- Change the IP address and hostname to avoid conflict.
- Whats next?

VLan for Voice and Data
Hello everyone.
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for instructions on settings up VLan correctly.
I have a Dlink DGS-1210-28P switch.
all of our workstations connect to the back of our Yealink VOIP Phones, then from the phone to the switch.
I have left VID 1 (Default) all untagged.
I have added a new VID 50 and tagged all ports.
I have then gone into Voice VLan Global settings and enabled with port 50 and priority 1
Do i need to do anything with OUI Settings? can i leave this blank?.
is there a way to test that VOIP traffic has priority.
Thanks

SCCM ADR - configure client to download directly from microsoft
Hi Guys
i am running SCCM version 1806 and have several automatic deployment rules for windows updates.
on a certain specific category (definition updates mostly) i would like to create an adr but make all clients download the updates from Microsoft and not from the sccm DP.
how can this be don?
i know and remember that when using just WSUS without sccm you can configure wsus to not download the updates and have the clients download them from Microsoft. thats what i want to achieve here.

mapping specific drives to specific users on their RDS RemoteApp Session
We are trying to map specific shared folders to specific users logging onto the RDS Server
we have
RDS Server - "Server02"
5 Users who login to this RDS using RemoteAPP
User01
User02
User03
User04
User05
All users are memeber of Security Group "RemoteUsers"
We have File Server - "Server01"
And all 5 users have a shared folder assigned as below
User01 - \\server01\User01$
User02 - \\server01\User02$
User03 - \\server01\User03$
User04 - \\server01\User04$
User05 - \\server01\User05$
What we are trying to acheive is
When "User01" logs on to the RDS Server "Server02" we need to map drive letter S to "\\server01\User01$"
This is only specific to "server02" hence we have enabled "loopback policy" on this specific server.
How do we achieve this mapping specific to this user, specific to this server?

hi all,
im running this as a script -
#NVidia Driver

echo 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=auto rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0"' >> /etc/default/grub
echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) --force
the only lines that dont work are the "grub2" and "dracut" lines
is this because bash scripts need the full file path of dracut and grub2 ie

/another/path/to/dracut
