but I'm jealous because I know it has already begun for many of you (and I hope you're having an amazing one).The PowerEdge R430 packs DellвЂ™s 13th generation PowerEdge compute platform into a 2-socket short-depth 1U rack server.

Welcome to Friday, everyone! The weekend is already around the corner.

Snap! Chrome updates, Atlassian outage, crypto heist, & the debut of Apple II Spiceworks Originals.

This year it happens to fall on Good Friday, which was the day that Jesus was crucified and then buried, to rise on Easter Sunday.В But, there is so much more in the way of loss.

Spark! Pro Series - April 15th, 2022 **Edited** Spiceworks OriginalsДЄpril 15th is one of those days in history that took a giant toll on humanity.What do you all think is better when connecting switches together within a shor. We are upgrading some of our infrastructure and I'm reading up on cat8 vs fiber. Hey all, I think I know the answer to this question but I wanted to see what you all thought. ugh! Whatever suggestion you have, I can certainly look at. I also have to share this budget with UTM (which is a separate post) so it's even tighter. Capital is at a premium at the moment, so whatever will work best for the lease amount will be my angle.

Moving forward, and with the doc mgt system, we will want to update this of course. With all the projects going right now, the main concern is to make sure the data is backed up, although pieced together with duct-tape, at least that is being done. Currently we are backing up QNAP 4TB storage to that second pool. The 5th bay on the QNAP has a 4TB single drive storage pool. The first 4 bays are used to provide 4TB iSCSI (RAID 10) where some of the shared folders were migrated to (to offload the limited space on that old server).

Right now, there is a 2TB USB attached drive that was setup with Windows NT backup (using the external drive dedicated for backup). Our current backup strategy is very antiquated, and setup long before I started here. Thanks again guys, I really appreciate your help! Again, there only about 35 workstations here.ДЄlso wondering if anyone has recommendations on hardware specs for this Host Server to power all this. (not positive on desktop CALs, since my current single PDC is 2008r2 - do I need desktop CALs regardless of new server 2012 or 2016 or only if 2016)Д¤) I will need to purchase 2-MS Server 2012/2016 Server licenses to cover licensing for the 3-Server VM'sДЄdditional question If I run Server 2012/2016 Standard for my VM Host, 'could' I also use that for my new fsmo AD/PDC server as well as VM Host, or would that be considered a no-no. For the time being, the AD server is going to remain on 2008r2)Дў) I can run MS Hyper-V Server (for free) since my host's sole purpose is to host the 3-Server VM'sДЈ) If my Host Server is Hyper-V Server 2012 I don't need new desktop CALs, if I go with Hyper-V Server 2016 I do need to purchase desktop CALs (keep in mind that all this hardware is new, and specific to the project. This is what I understand from the info provided. In the interest of costs, the boss is not opposed to building a black box for this, but Dell/HP are certainly not off the table.ДЄny suggestions are much appreciated. Any Suggestions as to the type and spec of hardware to run these 3 VM's would be appreciated.

#Dell r430 pdc file server license#

I believe the Server license itself comes with 1 or 2 licenses to use that OS as a VM, meaning I would need two Server 2012/2016 licenses.Дў) My only other experience with VM host servers is with Citrix Xen version 6x running Server 2008r2.

However, if I go to Server 2016, I believe I have to but workstation CALs to hit the 2016 server(s). I 'believe (?)' I dont have to purchase workstation CALs if I go with Server 2012 (anyone know?).

#Dell r430 pdc file server windows 7#

So that brings up a couple of questions.ДЎ) I have 35 workstations all on Windows 7 Pro ењ†4. My thought is to go Host-Server using MS Server 2012/2016 and use Hyper-V as the hypervisor. (unspecified at this point, but can't imagine it will be too extensive)

Here are the VM current requirements (note, I have not conducted the technical discussion with the vendor yet, so this is a little pre-mature, but I just wanted to get some initial thoughts) I have to build a new VM host server with 3 Server VM's for a document management system.
