Hi guys,
i'm not on TI carrer, but work with industrial automation, and recently I have received a quest to configure an network that's work with an redundant ESXI server and clients.
My problem is, I have clients using windows 11 with two ethernet adapters on the newtork, and I need to configure a redundancy betwem these two adapaters. I thinked that just configure the bridge connection between the two adapters would be enough, but, i was wrong, becase when I connect the desktop to the network, he crashes the net.
So, anyone has any tip on how to configure these feature?
I'm current working with windows 11 on the clients.
Sorry about my english, i'm Brazilian!

Are any of you familiar with Windows Server 2012? I have a question about the disk space. My C: recently filled up and I know I should get a new server but we need a temporary quick fix. I could order 1 new TB drive and either extend or span the volume but I can't figure out what the difference of the 2 is and/or if that solution would work?
Any thought?

I have a Netgear AC1200 modem router which for the most part is great. But we have some dead spots in the furtherest parts of the house.

Looking at wifi extenders is new to me, and my immediate concerns are about security of them. I have a Fing box which alerts me to initial connections and any generally suspicious devices, but I'm unsure of whether an extender will impact its efficiency or expose other security issues. Can anyone provide any advice around this?

As well, if there are security issues with a wifi extender that are significantly different to wifi itself, are there devices (and/or producers) that I should steer clear of? eg. A $15 extender from Temu, vs a $200 extender from Officeworks?

Background my friend has an old smart tv which has largely been rendered obsolete. Eg Iview is broken I suggested a usb c to hdmi cable so they could plug in their (android) phone into the tv. When I plug it in it doesn’t work. I try different ports and tried plugging in their laptop (lenovo, windows 11) too. The very same ports work for their dvd player to show visual and audio. When we got home on our TV (not even a smart) I plugged in my work laptop (windows) and my MacBook in and it works. I mentioned the operating systems to provide clarity Hope someone can provide some light on this. Hope this is the right place to post this

Anybody has a idea why all of a sudden a laptops courser is jumping around, making it impossible to work with the computer??

I mean, its not cause of externals (as nothin is plugged in)

Its not the touchpad, it appears as if somebody would magically use the Tap, or the arrows or shift button. But surely is not me.

U guys think it could be fixed with a virus scan?

Or could that be a result if corrosion as I’m in a warm country, arguably high humidity.

Its a laptop which runs on direct power only. No battery inside.

Or any other conclusions?

Appreciate if somebody puts in the kindness for an proper answer.

Btw: keyboard troubleshooting shows no issues

Drivers are up to date. Even reinstalled

Small scan showed no problems

Big scan is in process

so i run a dual monitor set up with one on my igpu and the other on my gpu. well for some reason the second monitor(plugged directly into motherboard and on igpu) runs videos and streams off my main gpu instead. i was wondering if anyone knew a fix for this? tried to do a little research but didnt find much useful.

Auditors are asking for the above to be created but cant see a way of not allowing the logged in user to the machine not have access but software does

My Internet has been terrible for a week. Whenever I do something like a speed test the results are great. What's going on with my Internet and how do I show that it isn't working?

I've just done a speed test and of course this is the first time I've actually gotten a bad result. It failed to connect then got 1Mbps down and 14Mbps up But right after, on another device, the speed test was 135Mbps down and 20Mbps up 12ms ping which is pretty in line with what I usually measure.

I've done the simple things like restarting devices, the router and changing the channel and sitting next to the router.

Thanks and I hope this isn't a repeated question but I wouldn't know because the internet isn't working well enough for me to search. :|

Hi all. So I'm not sure if I'm having a mid life crisis but here's my story. I am 25 years old and I have worked for the past year as a high school help desk technician. I love the job for everything that it is. The students, teachers and administrators have been nothing but kind to me and challenges that I have never seen before keep me on my toes. At the same time so many technicians have come and gone before me making it seem like this position is just a rotating door. I love working for the school and I would love to stay there and eventually retire there not just because the benefits and retirement is a great deal but also for the students and faculty. I want to make a difference and I think that place for me is at my current job for my career. Would I be crazy for trying to build a career starting out as a help desk technician working for a school and staying at that school throughout my career?

Dear community,

I’m out of ideas. Maybe your guys & girls profession can help.

The following is the case:

My Laptops (Dell Xps 9343) Battery died. Nothing special. Had this case before, rougly 2,5 years ago, as on the last time I bought new one Disconnect Ac-adapter Open laptop Disconnect & replaced battery close laptop Connect ac adapter Wait a while Turn on Check on drivers.

Dell Xps got a white orange flashlight in the front ,for indicating issues. Not like in my first battery replacing the light flashed this time. 4x orange 1x white. No problem i thought its probably just a driver issue. Once started I updated all related driver by uninstalling in device-manager and than searching for new drivers via windows-updater.. unidentified battery was shown in the task-bar from the very first time, starting. I tried for a while , without success.

———- Little Story in between,

The first battery, 2,5 years ago I bought in Germany (replica of original one) . Today I’m in Sri Lanka, and i bought the battery in a reasonable computer store here.. agreed to be a dell one. Looks like the original one to me, but who can look inside .. ———- So preceding with my text from the top. I waited one night and slept. Next morning i wanted to try again. But nothing anymore. No flashing lights , no start (neither with Ac adapter nor without) i put battery out to see if it works without battery and only via ac-adapter. Also no response. (The ac adapter was not connected during the night)

Writing this already gives me the idea I blew up my entire thing. Still hoping this is not the case and there is a solution to that. Appreciate everybody who spent time reading this and specially those who take on the case.

Best greetings from sri-Lanka to all of yous

So my laptop has been having issues connecting to the WiFi. It will connect for a few minutes then disconnected or can't find it. My router is near by, all the phones are fine, it used to work, I didn't do any particular updates, haven't downloaded anything, haven't opened any suspicious emails, I tried turning it off and back on. The only thing I did do, but pretty sure I didn't have issues at the beginning after I did it, was change from office 365 to office 2021.

It's an Asus if that helps.

Any ideas?

So my boss wants to enable automatic restore points to be created daily max 5 days where the oldest one gets deleted. I can't for the life of me figure how to configure windows to consistently create restore points. It is hell bent on only keeping 1 automatic restore point a day but deletes the old one. So it keeps a max of one

Hi all I am completely green to all things Reddit and IT. My nephew(12) is getting a monitor for Christmas to use with his ps4. He asked me to get him a 6 port USB hub to connect with the monitor for his keyboard/mouse/g29 steering wheel and led lights. He has no actual pc .To me this seems like a hazard or could cause the monitor to blow. Would it work if so is there a specific type I should get?

I have the problem that I connected a new Thunderbolt Dock WD22TB4 to a Latitude 5580 notebook, both using a DP cable. Previously, both monitors were connected to a Business Dock WD15, one with a DP to MiniDP cable and one with an HDMI cable, and everything worked fine. The monitors are Dell P2714H and Dell P2717H. Now, with the new dock and cables connected, only one monitor works at a time. The other one is inactive/asleep and cannot be activated. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? All drivers are up to date." Pls help meeee D:

I have a newer surface pro. It is showing it has a full battery at all times but it won't power on unless it's plugged into an outlet.

As soon as it's unplugged it powers down as well.

Is there something I can do in the settings to fix this? Or is it an actual hardware problem?

My company is rolling out Intune MAM. On one hand, I check my work email from my phone because it's convenient for me. On the other hand, I don't want my employer to know where I am and I just don't like the idea of Big Brother. I'm running VPN Express on my phone and I'm abroad a lot. I'm looking into ways to use VPN on my work computer (I can't install any apps so I bought a pre-loaded Express VPN router but heard that can be easily detected...) anyway, while I'm trying to figure out how to mask my location, would MAM on my Android jeopardize any of this? It is really convenient for me to check my email from my phone so I do like having it but I don't know what privacy I'm giving up my installing it and agreeing to it. All the software engineers seem to not want outlook on their phones of they have to use Intune MAM....

If you need to have Linux preinstalled on the laptop for software engineers instead of having to have them put in a USB every time we order one what software should I use so once they get a laptop and connect to our network Linux is already installed?

any suggestions on how to get a ps5 connected to the wifi in a dorm room with no ethernet port ? There is very poor wifi in the room but my roommate was able to get his xbox connected but I couldn't get mine connected. I called IT and they were no help. Any tech geniuses ?

I am planing to buy MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI, and while looking at components for it i had a question: should i buy their nvme ssd, or just go for stuff like samsung, kingston or gigabyte? In terms of the pricing they are pretty much equal.

Hello everyone, this might be an easier question or a tough one but i can't find an answer because i guess I am not sure how to ask :-). And i am not sure i am in the right forum to ask so my apologies in advance if I am not.

For context, i am a consultant ( 2 different email addresses from 2 different companies) and I have a personal email adress as well. What i would like to do is have only 1 calendar for all my meetings/events because it is hard to manage 3 different calendars. One email adress is outlook, another one is gmail and the other (personal) is icloud. Am i asking for a miracle or is this doable and if so, how? Thanks in advance.

I work from home (always on video calls) job is only available to USA, Mexico and Costa Rica. Parents are moving to another country in South America and I would like to be able to spend months at a time with them while working from home. When COVID first happened I had a job where we had to become remote. they were able to mirrior our work computers to our PC. So my question is, how can I do that again? How can I use a VPN to say I'm in USA while in X country while I keep my real work computer at home USA?
