I have a thing for courageous dongles

my onboard audio died and I bought one of those dumb audigy 5rxwhatever cards and I have it hooked up to a sony head unit with a 5.1 system. configured the windows audio for the 5.1 setup and turned off full-range speaker mode whatever so the low stuff get redirected to the subwoofer because the satellites aren't very good. if I'm watching flash video or listening to pandora or something the lows are redirected correctly but if I am in itunes or wmp nothing goes to the woofer what the hell is going on I hate this poo poo

Hit Right Ctrl+F1 (you will see the shell) and then Right Ctrl+F7. You are good to proceed with the installation.

BEHEAD THOSE WHO INSULT GENTOO
we have to roll out various versions of windows server on a bunch of servers around here. the overall goal is to get it to install windows with the various settings that we need (some services.msc / windows firewall stuff / remote desktop configuration) as well as have it assign a static ip address... what is the best way to do this? for the most part we are installing Windows 2008 Web or Standard edition... but since we do these installs like every day, it is getting to be a real pain in the rear end doing them manually. is there a way to pre-configure it with either PXE and / or custom installation iso in order to do this?

WDS requires that the host server be part of an activedirectory domain, which we don't use...

is there a way to simply make an image of the installed OS and install from that without being joined to a domain? google is not particularly optomistic about using WDS without one

is there an alternative to WDS?

if you're going to be the kind of idiot who not only doesn't use active directory for your windows servers but also installs windows server daily by hand, you probably don't care about whether or not all your SIDs are the same so yeah just use clonezilla to dd yourself a disk image

dare we ask what sort of idiot hellfucker setup you have which involves lots of windows systems but no active directory?

i'm having a really weird problem one Mac and a windows DHCP server. whenever the user comes into the office the computer requests IP address, gets one from the server, and then three seconds later request a new one. The user does not have this problem with other DHCP servers in other locations, and other Macs and other devices do not have this problem with our DHCP server. this happens regardless of the NIC being used by the user, either physical or wireless NIC.

the workaround is the user sets a manual ip when in the office. 😕

server: 2008r2 DC/DHCP.
workstation: MacBook Air running Yosemite.

i'm gonna guess it's a testing cluster for some install process that requires a fresh install but they don't want to just use a VM that they rewind for some dumb reason

I have a thing for courageous dongles

how much memory should I allocate for a 2012r2 domain controller these days for a network with maybe 50 computers total? I figure 2gb is tight, but 3-4gb should be plenty right?

4 cause ram is cheap. if memory is tight for w/e reason just don't dedicate all 4 to the guest

its a bit stupid because its a cluster for a scada system and the vendor is picking the hardware (some kind of cisco server) and they're capping the per-host memory at 128gb even though it could support more and if I ask too much it means another whole host along with all the additional hardware and licensing costs

I wouldn't go below 4 for any 2008+ server, but again you don't have to dedicate all 4 cause it definitely wont use all 4 all the time if at all.

wds is great so why not just create a domain just to use for wds server. you don't need to have the imaged servers join automatically.

you can also use winpe to boot and image from usb - no server or domain required.

also why aren't you virtualizing
