^ this. Could you describe gore you’re doing the inlays.

It is a difficult and sad place to be in. Best wishes for you and your family Steve.

Happy birthday!

Hey Ivan - Happy Birthday! Enjoy. Hopefully your new DAC has arrived

Happy Birthday

Glad you make it through the day Al given all the calamity. Here’s to clear sailing for the future.

Yeah, you'll likely need to get the full server version then. Also, my personal preference is not have shared credentials across users. I get that there are some use cases that lend themselves to this

How many actual people?

Also, you might consider Windows Server 2019 Essentials. It supports 25 users and up to 50 devices. It's < $560 and doesn't require any CALs.

I've had the pleasure of negotiating an EA for my of my customers. It's been 5 or 6 years, but I'll try to help. You can use either device or user CALs depending on what you need. The CALs are independent of how many servers or whether you're running in a VM. If you have 25 devices and less than 25 people, you would likely go with user CALs (e.g. 10 people using 25 different computers would only require 10 user licenses). The opposite applies as well (e.g. 40 people using 25 devices, you'd get just the 25 device CALs). The server licensing is an interesting and separate consideration. I'm pretty sure that if a server is used for DR/BCP then you don't need separate licenses for it. Just the primary active servers need licenses. On the other hand, if you're distributing the workload across several servers, you'd need all of them to be licensed. I don't think this is the case for you. Any particular reason you're planning on using VMs? It's not a bad idea, just wanted to understand the drivers.

That video made me smile

Yeah Glad you got it up and running, but that is hot 🔥 Where is the heat coming from? It looks like from the pictures that it is the transformers. Is the chassis also that hot?

Condolences to you and your family Todd.

Condolences, Chris.

Happy Birthday Marc! Enjoy

Thanks @Pars. I had a great veteran builder PM with a few pieces. I think I'll be ok for now
