I am currently doing some research for my company concerning Kubernetes. We want to evaluate hosting our own Kubernetes-cluster from our bare-metal servers inside our private computing centre. I only ever worked with managed Kubernetes (like Google Cloud etc.) and of course minikube for local testing.
Has anyone ever worked with a self-hosted and self-installed Kubernetes-cluster and give me some evaluation on Know-How and time needed to configure and administrate such cluster?
How can you convert a Desktop Experience edition of Windows Server 2016 to a Core edition? For previous insider builds you use the powershell uninstall-windowsfeature cmdlet to remove features such as server-gui-shell and server-gui-mgmt-infra to convert a Desktop Experience edition to a Core edition, but these features no longer exist in the RTM version.
Background:
I'd like to start getting some Windows Server 2016 Core VMs up and running. As it is not yet available on MSDN i'm forced to use the evaluation ISO. This works fine in the long term (>180 days) if you want to use Desktop Experience editions, as you can change the evaluation edition to a licensed edition with a product key and dism.exe /online /set-edition:ServerDatacenter /productkey:00000-00000-00000-00000-00000 /accepteula but this wont work with the Core editions of Server 2016 as dism.exe /get-targeteditions doesnt list any options to change it to a non-evaluation edition. So right now i'm forced to either wait a few weeks for it to become available on MSDN, or convert a desktop experience edition to a core edition as i'd need these VMs to work past 180 days.
A few users have taken it upon themselves to install this software on there work computers and use iphones/ipads to connect. Current setup is anyconnect / ciscovpn to connect and use remote desktop to work from home. The cisco web portal also has access to a few intranet related systems.
The network is behind a Cisco ASA and contains only company PCs & servers. all other devices use a guest network which is segregated from the main.
Is anyone familiar with allowing GotoMyPC in this kind of situation? Is there precautions I should take, should I not allow it, or is it fine?
My main concern is by using this piece of software, I am bypassing our firewall systems and opening up doors that I don't want to open.
Looking for some feedback from someone in a similar situation due to me being unfamiliar with the service.
Thanks.
I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 for the 180 day trial. We tested the system and it's working fine, and I wanted to convert it to full version.
The problem is, I have a volume key licence to SQL Server, and the Microsoft support says that there is no key for SQL Server Standard editions (SQL Server (2008 or 2008 R2 ) ), and says that If I use the disc, the product will install automatically without requiring my keys.
My question is, how to convert the trial to the full version - I don't want to go through the hassle of setting up everything.
Thanks!
How can you get the server to tell you how much time is left on a Windows Server 2008 evaluation installation?
