Windows 2019 Server and BGinfo

Where does BGinfo get it's IP address info from?

I am running a Windows 2019 servers (PDC) in Hyper-V, it has only 1 physical NIC in, and the NIC and it's IP address info checks out, even ipconfig /all show the correct info, but BGinfo shows (DHCP) which nearly gave me a heart attack this morning! LOL

Wireless dashcams

Are there any vendors that make a front and back dashcam that connect wirelessly to one another? I drive a leased vehicle and don't want to be taking it apart to install a wire from the front to the back or damage anything in the process.

Setting the encoding to utf-8

This is a Windows / Python question.

My boss had Claude write an AI website for us which I setup to run, it uses Python 3 (the latest version) and AWS. The problem with the code is it's not in utf8 so when it initially ran it was throwing errors which I looked up and determined that the encoding="utf-8" needed to be added. I looked through the code but couldn't find the references that were mentioned on the various support sites.

I did eventually find that is I add -X utf8 to the Python command it should work, and it does for the most part but the output shows have of it is right while the other half isn't. So, I need some advice how to make it all display in utf8?

Too bad I cannot post an image here so you all could see it exactly what I mean. :(

AWS Bedrock / Claude licensing

I have setup everything in trial mode as a proof of concept that my boss wanted. Going forwards I am not sure about how the licensing will work. We are using the Claude client to connect to AWS Bedrock.

So, do we need to get a license from AWS plus Claude?

My boss wants our team to setup 5 systems (1 IT, 4 employees) and set the permissions so that no one can upload CAD files to AI; we are a manufacturing company.

Zabbix and Unifi (Ubiquiti)

I found this API template for the Ubiquiti that works with 7.4.x, I created an API in my network app and added the template to my 7.4.11 new install.

https://github.com/MassimilianoPasquini97/zbx_unifi_network_api

When I create the host and set the template I don't see anything for macros and am not sure how to finalize the setup, has anyone setup?

Problems installing FRESH Zabbix community

I am using Ubuntu 26.04 Server, brand new fresh install on HyperV.

I followed the instructions on:
https://www.zabbix.com/download?zabbix=7.4&os_distribution=ubuntu&os_version=26.04&components=server_frontend_agent&db=mysql&ws=nginx

And when I get to "D" it gives me ERROR 2002...can't connect to local MySql.. I checked to see if the mysql service is running and there is no mysql.service running on the server.

So, I am confused does the command "apt install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-nginx-conf zabbix-sql-scripts zabbix-agent" not install mysql? If it does or is supposed to is there a problem with zibbax servers or script?

Thanks,

CallPilot 150 question.

I have a callpilot 150, the question is, is the 15 character name limit related to the phones display or CallPilot itself?

Today, people have more than 15 character total for their first and last names.

If it helps, we have voice mail version 31.10.14.22

Old Nortel Phone system with Voicemail Question

We have an old Nortel system that still operates on phone lines, it's not VoIP, is much, much older than that! 😄

I am having trouble accessing the Voicemail network webpage, I cannot remember if it uses a port number to access it, like http://IPAddress:port of if it's stock port 80?

Also, PING is disabled on our network, I need to know if I need to allow the Voicemail system to ping the gateway as I can see the device on an IP scan and its broadcasting FTP but I don't get any other response from it. I recall that some older devices like to ping the gateway of networks that's why I am asking.

Disable - Exchange Online SMTP AUTH Basic Authentication - Is this ever going to happen?

MS seems to keep pushing it back every time they get close to finalizing disabling it that I am wondering if they are going to ever disable it?

MS needs to pull the trigger, we use Zoho in the office for a ticketing system and they use SMTP AUTH Basic Authentication to send emails from the ticket system to us. I am not even sure if Zoho knows what's going on or if they care really as they don't seem to have any solution available yet, this is the only service we have that isn't using OAuth 2.0 yet, so, the sooner MS pulls the trigger the sooner vender companies will be forced to comply or go bankrupt.

Here is the latest notice from MS.

AI application access

I have been asked to grant permissions to Gumloop and AI tool as people in our environment want to build agentic AI with it.

So, I see the application in Entra ID -> Enterprise Applications -> All applications, but don't see how I grant it permissions. And I have looked through Google and their AI which suggests how to do it, but the steps are obsolete because the version of Entra ID they reference doesn't exist. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Secondly, I have concerns about doing this. Do AI applications data farm companies data? I am told they need Gumloop to work with Word, Excel, Teams, and Outlook which to me is a red flag.

RPS cable question.

Has anyone who has the RPS, that's the device that allows you to connect Unifi devices to it using an cable that looks to have ATX style connectors on either end, on making custom cables that are shorter?

I see why Ubiquiti doesn't want to make one shorter than 1.5M long, they offered a shorter one with the RPS or the UDM-Pro, but since they seem to not recognize 24U racks as it makes it impossible to manage the 1.5M cables. Though I am sure they would see more RPS's being sold and would likely have a tough time keeping the 1M long cables in stock if they offer it as I have seen a lot of people here and on the community who have smaller than 24U racks (the Ubiquiti ones) that would most likely like to have some redundancy, like me who uses a Dell 24U.

I have the 1.5M cables which are quite heavy and hard to get locked in. I always find when I get one or two locked in at least one of the other ones fall out. And the cables rest on my Dell R830 which if I had to ever pull out to do some maintenance on would cause the weight to shift straining the cables causing them to disengage (fall out).

I recall seeing a post somewhere of someone saying they cable ends were ATX style, but nothing more was said, and I have lost the post plus haven't found any new mentions of it online. I guess no too many people are interested in redundancy.

Thanks

Microsoft 365 Licensing question

Previously we were managed by an MSP. When they gave us control of our tenant, we manage it now. They left everything setup the way they did include the partner relationships for the MOSA licensing. We started transferring everything to MCA licensing.

So, my question is what the difference between MOSA and MCA licensing, mainly is there any benefits over the other, and for security reasons is it safe to remove the GDAP and other partner relationships?

If we wanted to start using MOSA, if its better, do we need to find our own partner and what is involved in doing that?

Our environment is in hybrid mode. I need to setup SMTP with Auth 2.0.

I have this line called "How to send emails in .NET with the Microsoft Graph" which our dev team sent us. How to send emails in .NET with the Microsoft Graph | by Philipp Bauknecht | Medialesson | Medium But it's using Azure AD, and the information in it old and outdated.

The supported account types don't show up the same way as I see in our Entra ID. Also we do not have a Directory (tenant) ID as I seen in the other info, and also don't have Certificate ... option in our Entra.

So, is there a way to achieve this in Hybrid mode?
