I ran a Nessus scan on my Server 2016 server and got the following error:

"The remote Windows host is missing security update 4571694."

When doing some research on the patch I found this article

"https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4571694/windows-10-update-kb4571694"

If you scroll down to the bottomish of that page you will see the "How to get this update" section and it says

"Windows Update and Microsoft Update Yes None. This update will be downloaded and installed automatically from Windows Update."

From powershell I can see it is not installed:

I looked at all the update setting and cannot see why the update was not installed. I know I can download and install the patch manually however I am curious why windows update is not installing it for me.

I have a 2016 server that has a iSCSI drive from QNAP shared as a NFS Mount

When I run the command from the VMWare cli:

[root@localhost:~] esxcli storage nfs add -H 192.168.1.20 -s vmwaredatastore -v shareddatastore

I get the following error

Unable to complete Sysinfo operation.  Please see the VMkernel log file for more details.: Sysinfo error: Bad parameterSee VMkernel log for details.

If I try to attach the NFS share as a datastore from the esxi GUI or vCenter GUI I get the same error

From the vmkernal.log

I can ping the host and connect on port 2049 and 111

[root@localhost:~] nc -z 192.168.1.20 2049
Connection to 192.168.1.20 2049 port [tcp/nfs] succeeded!
[root@localhost:~] nc -z 192.168.1.20 111
Connection to 192.168.1.20 111 port [tcp/sunrpc] succeeded!

I have googled around and cannot figure out what the "Bad parameter" is

I have a need to update IP address

My environment file:

[root@server ~]# cat /etc/environment
ip1=192.168.1.1
ip2=192.168.1.2

My script looks like:

#!/bin/bash
echo ip3=192.168.1.3 >> /etc/environment
source /etc/environment

Problem is, it does not "source" on the file.

I have go back to the command line and run:

[root@server ~]# echo $ip3

[root@server ~]# source /etc/environment
[root@server ~]# echo $ip3
192.168.1.3

How do I source a file from a script?

bash centos7
