I have a Windows Server 2025 machine that I am trying to get rejoined to a domain. The domain is running on a Windows Server 2019 domain controller that is healthy and has all FSMO roles. Attempting to join, results in "The request is not supported".v Some background -- this Server 2025 machine was previously a domain controller on this same domain but had to be decommissioned due to replication was broken. I had the worst time trying to gracefully remove the Server. To attempt to clean up the old metadata, I went into ADUC on the 2019 DC, navigated to the Domain Controllers OU, right clicked the Server 2025 machine and deleted it. It warned me that it was a global catalog server and I confirmed the deletion. I somehow managed to get the The AD DS and DNS roles uninstalled, but I'm not sure how much is remaining. The server is sitting in WORKGROUP right now. The old computer object was cleaned up from AD on the 2019 DC. Here is what I have tried and

I am trying to a setup dual wan on a pfsense sg-6100 but cannot figure out how to do it when we only have a single gateway. We have 2 fiber lines coming into the premises from BT that go into 2 seperate cisco switches controlled by BT. The IP address details we have been given are as below Line 1 IP address - 70.x.x.195/28 next hop gateway address - 70.x.x.193 Line 2 IP address - 70.x.x.196/28 next hop gateway address - 70.x.x.193 I have set interface WAN to the 70.x.x.195/28 address and if I try to set WAN2 to the 70.x.x.196/28 I get an error stating that the address overlaps with the 70.x.x.195 address. If I change both WAN and WAN2 to /32 addresses then I can set WAN to the 70.x.x.195 address and WAN2 to 70.x.x.196 but I cannot set both interfaces to use the same next hop gateway address. Can anyone point me in the right direction to set this up using the details above?

Trying to bring up a Dovecot 2.4.3 installation on my publicly accessible home server. I had a working 2.3.x installation and have followed all the migration advice on the dovecot website. Eventually, I archived the previous config and started again with a de minimis configuration from the dovecot website (1, below). I narrowed the problem down to the server closing the connection immediately after a successful login, but the question is, why does it do that? I used 'openssl s_client' to test the link, and you can see at the end of recording (3, below), it successfully connects, logs in, but immediately closes. In other sessions I've attempted login with an intentionally wrong password, which it correctly rejects, and maintains the connection. Then I login with the correct password which it accepts and gives a prompt expecting a command, but then it disconnects immediately. I'm mystified. I expect it's something stupid, but I've been at it all weekend without

We have some equipment in our server rack that doesn't draw a lot of power, like a USB-to-network adapter and a fiber modem. Right now these small devices are powered over a simple power strip attached to a UPS (Eaton 9PX 11000i). I was told during an audit that the power strip should have its own fuse. Is this really necessary, just a good idea, or does it not matter at all? I'm in central Europe if that matters.

I have a server that runs Ubuntu 24.04, which functions as the master-zone-server using Bind9. I store all my zone files in two separate folders: /etc/bind/master-zones/forward-zones/ /etc/bind/master-zones/reverse-zones/ I implemented zone-based DNSSEC by adding the following to the zones. zone "zone1.com" IN { type master; file "/etc/bind/master-zones/forward-zones/zone1.com.zone.db"; dnssec-policy default; inline-signing yes; }; But this is forcing me the follwing: Give write permission to the bind-user to the zone file folder "/etc/bind/master-zones/forward-zones/", which I want to keep it as read-only. After I gave the write permission, the Bind9 is now creating three additional files for each zone in this folder, which is making the folder very crowded and destroying the neatness of my zone folder. zone1.db --> my ori

I'm using Windows Server 2022. I want to list files and subfolders in a directory in a tree structure. I used this cmd: tree /f /a "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Manga\Complete\Watashi no Fushidara (complete)", and it returned this result: Folder PATH listing Volume serial number is 000001EF B640:4E39 C:\USERS\ADMINISTRATOR\DESKTOP\MANGA\COMPLETE\WATASHI NO FUSHIDARA (COMPLETE) Watashi no Fushidara - v01 ch 01-06 (omake not translated).cbz Watashi no Fushidara - v02 ch 07-13 (end).cbz The indented lines are not included if there are no subfolders in the directory. I want to hide the header information and include indented lines so it looks like this: C:\USERS\ADMINISTRATOR\DESKTOP\MANGA\COMPLETE\WATASHI NO FUSHIDARA (COMPLETE) ∟ --- Watashi no Fushidara - v01 ch 01-06 (omake not translated).cbz ∟ --- Watashi no Fushidara - v02 ch 07-13 (end).cbz How can I achieve this?

I have two Azure AI Foundry resources under the same subscription, same resource group, same region (eastus2), both visible in the Foundry portal at ai.azure.com. Their "Azure AI model inference endpoint" URLs differ in structure: Resource A: https://<resource-A-name>.services.ai.azure.com/models Resource B: https://eastus2.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/models Resource A has a custom subdomain matching the resource name. Resource B falls back to the shared regional Cognitive Services endpoint. Why does one Azure AI Foundry resource get a *.services.ai.azure.com custom subdomain while another in the same resource group uses the regional *.api.cognitive.microsoft.com endpoint?

I'm running dedicated game servers on my homelab. Many of these servers communicate with multiple ports on the same protocol (for example, Conan Exiles uses tcp/7777, tcp/25575, udp/7777, udp/7778, and udp/27015). I want to add the ports needed for a given server to /etc/services to make firewall management with ufw a little less verbose - it's easier to specify a service to allow than to specify each port, and it's self-documenting in a way. Because of how IANA assigns ports, /etc/services has many services with both a TCP and a UDP port defined. However, I don't think I see any instances where a service specifies multiple TCP or UDP ports under it. The manpage for services(5) doesn't suggest that this can be done, nor does it suggest that it can't either. Could I do something like this at the end of the file to define a "conanexiles" service? conanexiles 7777/tcp conanexiles 25575/tcp conanexiles 7777/udp conanexiles 7778/udp conanexiles 27

I have an old Windows 2012 server which saves daily DB backups off to a share on linux. The automated backup script is intermittently failing. When I manually copy files as a domain admin user, I get an error: You need permission to perform this action." No details available, three buttons: Try again, skip and cancel. Getting properties on the remote folder is shows as "RO (only applies to files in folder)", even though it is shared RW in the linux host's /etc/exports file. I tried exportfs -ra just in case, but still the same. None of my admin accounts can copy the file over, even thought they're part of the SQL backup user group. I also get a strange error when I try to modify the R/O attribute on the remote folder I want to copy into. When I uncheck the Read-Only attribute and click apply, I get: "An error occurred applying attributes to the file: \server\path\folder\some-file-inside. An unexpected network error occurre

I have an Ubuntu host in Azure running virtualmin for a web host. After restarting, the device cannot reach the Internet, either by IP or DNS. Several packages were updated, however no additional packages were installed. I can't ping the gateway (expected, I believe ICMP is disabled to the gateway) but I also can't ping 8.8.8.8. IPv6 is disabled on this device, and it has an attached public IP. I found information about SSH breaking, but this is more than SSH. I cannot install packages or reach any running services inbound. Traceroute is not installed, and I can't reach apt to install it. Nothing changed with the NSG rules, but here are the rules: Network configuration in Azure: The host receives the IP address using DHCP. I did not do any manual config other than disabling IPv6, wh
