having some weird storage issues on win10 (20H2). i've got a number of iSCSI LUNs mounted that i keep all my media on. recently i've noticed that sometimes when doing a number of I/O intensive operations explorer starts acting weirdly. sometimes it starts hanging when i ask it to do copy/delete files on the volumes. the file delete/copy progress dialog box appears and it just sits there doing nothing. everything else works fine and i can still read/write to the volumes but explorer is cooked and i have to reboot to unfuck it. yesterday it got into a state where the UI stopped responding so i tried to kill and restart explorer.exe but that didn't work so i had no UI and it wasn't even responding to ctrl+alt+del. i ended up having to do a hard-reset as i couldn't do anything in windows. immediately prior to everything loving up i'd just finished copying ~70GB across to one of the iSCSI volumes. there's nothing in the event logs that explain what is going on nor are there any crash dumps because it's not actually crashing, just locking up and becoming unresponsive. it's pissing me off i tell you what!

can anyone recommend a good web-based admin thingo for postfix? something that just makes configuring virtual domains, aliases and mailboxes easier than having to edit config files or whatever. i need to setup an internal MTA at work so servers can just shunt e-mails between each other and poo poo, figured it would be easier for my colleagues to support if it had a GUI. is postfix even the main generally recommended MTA any more?

Shaggar posted:running your own mail server in 2022 is insane. posting back on this because of new developments. if you read my post you'd have noticed that i said "internal MTA" so that "servers can just shunt e-mails between each other and poo poo." EXO/M365 is overkill for that poo poo. however the new development is that we are undergoing ACSC IRAP assessment (as i understand it's effectively equivalent to FedRAMP) and as such it'll be easier for us to just spin up a separate dedicated AAD/M365 tenancy for the environment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Shaggar posted:why would one internal server need to send email to another internal server? send email out of the network to humans thru a gateway sure, but to each other? yeah it wasn't my idea. the requirement came from some greybeard in our team that was talking about emails from systemd (poo poo that normally ends up in /var/spool/whatever) as well as reports from AIDE. we're already putting Beats agents on these boxes so i'll just tell them that if they want e-mails then they can pull them with Filebeat either direct or with the journal module, also AIDE can gently caress-off for the moment i can sort that later.

iirc the only write-back supported by AADC is for passwords (to support sspr). that said AADC is built on-top of MIM/FIM which is real nightmare fuel (custom transforms and poo poo implemented by pointing it at DLLs, insane black-box hosed poo poo made more insane when going SAP->AD->SAP->AD->Salesforce->SAP->AD). AADC is good because it doesn't let you do that

# ¿ Jul 26, 2022 20:37 |

AADC is really good and solid because it's built on the legacy of FIM/MIM which are really good and solid identity management systems but get super complicated very quickly the moment you integrate another system and/or write your own integration plugins. AADC avoids all that ofc because it only has to deal with AAD and on-prem AD, easy mode.

earlier this year they tried to make me support some turbo-hosed on-prem FIM/MIM solution which was syncing between 3 AD domains, 4 SAP environments and 2 salesforce environments, allll relying on custom poo poo. i told them to eat poo poo basically. it's wild FIM/MIM unconstrained is pure hosed but when you lock it own you get AADC which owns.

Shaggar posted:its probably not disconnecting from the wifi, its just trying to send stuff out the ethernet cause ethernet generally gets a lower automatic interface metric nope it actually disconnects from the SSID when i connect the ethernet and then refuses to reconnect to any SSID whilst the ethernet is still connected. Tankakern posted:wifi drivers often have builtin support for enabling/disabling cabled ethernet connections when disconnecting/connecting to a wifi that option doesn't appear for me but there's an equivalent setting in the BIOS that i already disabled with no effect.

Jonny 290 posted:is there a specific reason you need to hook it directly to the computer? cant you either sniff out the auto assigned dhcp or add a subnet or something on your router and then just plug it into the switch? idk at work my laptop connects to the corp network via wifi. ive got a bunch of fortinet devices that i need to configure which id like to do via their web interface so i want to just hook up via ethernet from my laptop with a static IP on either end. this works fine except for the fact that when i connect the ethernet my wifi disconnects so lose connectivity to the corp network and the internet. it's just an annoyance really not a showstopper.

# ¿ Dec 14, 2022 19:34 |

yeah probably. it's a lenovo X1 where the ethernet port comes as a separate cable that you have to plugin to the laptop maybe that's got something to do with it idk. also 802.1x has been broken since i upgraded it to win11 so i can't connect to the corp network via the ethernet either.

Hed posted:mines an X1 too. I can force click on to WiFi to be on both simultaneously but it will never do that on its own. I’m using the Lenovo thunderbolt 4 dock (garbage) as Ethernet as well. i did some more fuckin around today and the issue is that IT have group policy configured so that secondary network connections are blocked when you're connected to the domain network. on top of that windows connection manager preferences ethernet over wifi so if i try to connect the wiif whilst the ethernet is connected it will connect briefly and then disconnect with the "no multiple network connections when on domain network" error. i ended up just giving up. Corla Plankun posted:it looks like usb ethernet adapters are pretty cheap and might get around the issue of weird lenovo drivers being bad. the X1 comes with a proprietary ethernet adapter that connects via what looks like a 1394 port but isn't. despite the weird port i'm pretty sure it's just USB.
