Yeah, I could setup an extra XCP box - but at smaller setups, it really seems like overkill. So, it sounds like restores of the VM work "fine." How often do machine accounts reset their passwords? [This is the one that is most likely to be problematic. Rejoining the domain means a new profile. And that's a big PITA on the client side.] User password changes can simply be handled by

If your runing XEN (XCP-NG), which im also using. I use the automated snapshots, and this. https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xencenter/7-1/vms-snapshots-export.html That should give an resonable backup. XOA, yes thats looks nice also, i never used it. If you have only 1 XEN server, i would just pickup an pc, or buy a second hand server and install XEN and run a second DC Or just add a second DC

Louis, et al. Hi! So, I'm working on a 20.04 setup. I think I'll still use the distro version and not Louis' packages. [No offense Louis - I just need to be sure if (forbid) anything happens to Louis, his packages aren't going to be supported any more, and I'll be on my own for security updates etc. The 20.04 versions are pretty current, and I think will meet my needs for the

So, I'm curious about the contrast between modifying netplan vs simply disabling systemd.resolved Is there some advantage to the gyrations to make netplan work, vs simply disabling resolved and manually defining the IP and DNS server? [I'm not complaining, I'm thankful for all the options - just wanting to have the best handle possible on the reasoning behind one method vs the other.]

Greetings, I have three drives; they are all SATA Seagate Barracudas; two are 500GB; the third is a 2TB. I don't have a clear reason why they have failed (possibly due to a deep, off-brand, flakey mobo; but it's still inconclusive, but I would like to find a disaster recovery service that can hopefully recover the data. Much thanks for any and all suggestions, Max Pyziur pyz at

So, I setup Samba on Ubuntu 18.04, using the packaged Samba version. [Thanks Rowland/Louis et al.] I'm doing some testing/tinkering using FreeNAS as a share, using the AD as the authentication back-end. As part of that process, you need to add a computer account and change some security settings. I setup RSAT and can see the AD tree, and add users etc. When I try to switch to advanced view

Hai guys,   I wanted to share the following site, not my site, but in my opinion, a very good setup for a windows image/deploy server. And im Dutch so its free ;-) ... :-))   See :  https://deployhappiness.com/ and https://fogproject.org/  i've just finished a deploy setup with fogserver and the info from deployhappiness.com   Some of direct links i used:

Hi all, I search about disaster recovery, but I can't understand how to proceed... I perform backups on my PDC (data and configuration). My question is about secrets.tdb: according some docs, I can't install a new server and just put the secrets.tdb on samba configuration directory, because the SID it's specific. If I don't repair this file, the domain SID will be change and the

So, Louis - I'm quite interested in using your repo for Samba support on 18.04. You note there's some detail on it on the github site - but I don't seem to find it. Also - while I know it's all just best intentions etc - is this something you intend to do for a while? [I'd be glad to toss some $$$ your way to help, if that's helpful. I'd toss some bucks to SerNet - but

Hi, we would like to build a gluster storage systems that combines our need for performance with our need for disaster recovery. I saw a couple of posts indicating that this is possible (http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2010-February/003862.html) but am not 100% clear if that is possible Let's assume I have a total of 6 storage servers and bricks and want to spread them across 2

Greetings - I have not been a long time follower of this list, but I have scanned through the last year or so of archives, after not finding much from google searches. I am hoping someone here can inform me if what I want to do is feasible, and give me some general guidance to follow so that I can continue my research and complete this task. I admin a RH3 system that is primarily a Samba

Hi everyone I am currently testing Solaris 11 Express. I currently have a root pool on a mirrored pair of small disks, and a data pool consisting of 2 mirrored pairs of 1.5TB drives. I have enabled auto snapshots on my root pool, and plan to archive the daily snapshots onto my data pool. I was wondering how easy it would be, in the case of a root pool failure (i.e. both disks giving up the

In a fit of irony, while preparing to burn a CDROM with some software I've been writing for about six months, I did a rm *>o instead of rm *.o on an ext3 filesystem. And I'm well aware that under normal circumstance you can't undelete, especially a ext3 filesystem. However, I need to at least *try* to recover this. I've built lde (linux disk editor) and if I can isolate a

Hi all. I''m using sles11 for my xen servers. I would really like to be able to do hot snapshots of disk AND memory, and then have these snapshots backed up to tape or off site for disaster recovery. I''m thinking this would be done weekly or monthly, not nightly. Two questions: 1) Is this even possible? 2) I could probably have the systems shutdown to make a clean backups, but
