Yes, I did finally find that info embeded in some video or the like, thank you, <@U3YMSKR43>! That matches VC6 that I heard.

Squid doesn't have a GUI but you could deploy Webmin as well and you'll get to manage a couple of Squid settings (a lot to get things moving, fast and easy) in Webmin's web interface.

I downloaded Artica in OVA format. Seems to do exactly what I needed.

Never heard of it. will give it a try but I’m owning a Synology box and I usually use services available on Synology

If you want to just build a test lab with workstation set your VMs behind a NAT network in workstation. OS your domain controller and give it IP 3 as 1 and 2 are taken by workstation. Once you get the domain controller setup and DNS modify the vmnetdhcp.conf file in C:\ProgramData\VMware. Replace the domain-name-server with your DC's IP and change the domain-name to your domain name. Thats a good start to the build.

Ohh, and restart the vmware DHCP and NAT service... :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks Landon.

Is there something I can follow to do all this. I want to give my DC both DHCP, DNS and file server roles. Also, I will connect a HDD to this for storage.

I just want to get my head around how this all comes together on a smaller scale etc.

For a simple workstation build a single DC with DNS is fine. Just install the roles and run through the wizard. Its pretty fool proof.

This is actually what I do in my "test" lab. Once you get the DC stood up create images of different OS's and sysprep them. Use link clones off the sysprep'd VMs.

This allows you to spin up new boxes pretty darn fast.

Actually just installing the domain controller role and running the wizard will automatically add DNS and configure it.

Excellent. I will start with that, then start with a simple File share etc.

Dumb question, I will have a VM which is a DC then another VM which is a standard win10 machine. How do I make them 'talk' to each other to add the win10 machine to the domain etc

I understand how it works in an enterprise environment with controlled networks and DCs, just want to kinda get it working similarly at home.

Also don't forget to assign a static IP to your DC before adding the domain controller role. (I always forget)

Again, give it IP 3 and a gateway and DNS of 2

Thanks Landon, very helpful.  I will start this as soon as I can and hopefully keep this thread going.

Also worth noting that workstation by default assigns DHCP addresses on the top half of the network (128 and up) so if you want to use statics for stuff use lower IPs.

Thanks haavarstein,

I am actually part of xenappblog, so starting videos now.

I just procastinate when it comes to setting things up..but now just moving forward.

<https://tinkertry.com/replaced-my-gas-water-heater-with-more-efficient-hybrid-electric-rheem-review>

I was at Paul's house last night test driving his Tesla :wink:

HA! Same heater I posted to Jason and I'm putting in my new shop right now. If all is good I'll be putting it into my "server room" /pantry.

Most expensive thing in my house per Sense. And I have 2 of them. :cry: Cheapskate builders.

Sense is pretty much spot on with the real-time monitoring

I installed mine. Simply clamp it to the mains and give it a 220 source. After that you use the app to connect it to WiFi.

Thinking about installing one in my house and shedquarters.

Smart plugs are excellent. You can poll that data into graphing services or even your own spreadsheets and create pivot tables.

I still have a hard time imagining how an electric system can end up being overall cheaper to operate than one running on natural gas, but modern efficiencies and smarts may indeed make up all the difference. If the numbers show it, it must be!

Hi, Jason. We installed two of these in our town house rental units over the last couple of years. They are frankly not that much less expensive in our cases at least than a whole-house A/C conversion, but I love that they are quiet and energy efficient. We went with a high-end Daikin which has I believe a 10-year warranty and I believe a 1.5 ton exchange unit. It's very quiet, both the internal and external components, and you can do one or multiple zones. eel free to send me any questions! <https://daikincomfort.com/>

You bet. Mitsubishi also makes similar and somewhat less expensive units, but without as good a warranty.  Ours will do both heating and cooling, which is convenient. <https://www.mitsubishicomfort.com/products/indoor-units/wall-mounted-heating-and-cooling>

Correct. We had to have a separate breaker installed with separate lines to handle the 220 V connections. Nice thing is that the indoor and outdoor units connect up to each other easily through a common duct containing tubing and electrical and you can separate them in some cases as far as 100 feet.

Thanks guys. I just spoke to my electrician and he says I’ll need to add a subpanel since I’m completely out of space for breakers.

Bummer, but many older homes have inadequate power to begin with. Our house's entire breaker box is only 100 Amps!!!  :face_with_rolling_eyes:

I’ve got my complete set in (except for the housing), playtime on Monday!

This weekend is for BBQ, no IT related work

Grilling will happen on July 4. I'm holding out until then!

I doubt you can auto-resolve all things but I'd bet the issues found are related to vulnerable ciphers. Try using *IIS Crypto* for that

I can confirm. THanks for the hint. Havent checked it until today.
They are still "configured" in ubnt mgmt... strange...

great. Let me know whats going on as soon as they fixed it :slightly_smiling_face:

that explains why mine stopped recently but hadnt gotten around to figure out why.

Looks like the port forwarding config is not getting written back to the USG

If you ssh onto the USG and type configure then show port-forwarding you will see no rules :(

Uhm... I see one port forward when SSH'ing into USG

wait... using "show port-forwarding" I see nothing; when using "show port-foward" I see one

"admin@FW# show port-forwarding
Specified configuration path is not valid"

Wonder if workaround is old way on backend for now

fwiw, I did not lose port forwarding on my usg-4p when upgrading to 4.4.41.5193700

<@UBDKACLNT> where did you see this message? :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for the heads up. I haven’t updated to this fw yet. The biggest UniFi problems I’ve had are with Controller and the MongoDB.

Yeah it’s weird. Claudio is also ok. Mine is buggered. Gonna dog in a little tomorrow and see what I can find out

I have not. Was about to all in with Ubiquiti mFi before they discontinued. They had sensors including a water one.

Interesting -- too bad it doesn't also work with gas heaters.
