We have a single domain controller, 3 desktop clients. The dc also serves as a file server and print server. Running a flat-file based accounting application, with network drives to each desktop. We are losing our office space due to rent increases and would like to host this app/server somewhere. Where to begin? What will it cost? submitted by /u/ejjVAL [link] [comments]

I am developing in PHP and as there is no Azure PHP SDK, I was planning to use their Rest API. To my surprise, it is (mostly) returning data in XML and not in JSON. How is that possible in 2023 and why? submitted by /u/vsamma [link] [comments]

CSV files hitting a Datalake. I'm making OPENROWSET Views in Synapse Serverless. One column in theory is a date, but only wants to be interpreted as varchar/nvarchar. Here's the CSV file if I download it ​ ​ Looks like a date If I run OPENROWSET setting the above as a date/datetime. Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row starting at byte offset 132, column 8 (Period) in Employee Budget and NSR.csv. If I set it as varchar/nvarchar, it shows up in SQL in a format like '12-2023' OK, So I wrapped the entire OPENROWSET in a CSV, then used DATEFROMPARTS on the column That works ​ ​ That works, but seems a little janky. Is there a better way? submitted by /u/cdigioia [link] [comments]

I'm quite new to this concept and want to try this feature on one of my VMs. Also I have a VM which works in such a way that every restart of it is taking exactly 15minutes to trigger. Can anyone please let me know how to enable this feature and how to disable aswell, because the VM which we are using right now, takes 15 min every time we restart. I have gone through many articles but couldn't see how to disable the scheduled event. Also is there anyway to find that this feature is enabled on existing VMs?! I have gone through the article below, but not much of a use. Microsoft article for reference: Scheduled events Please help!! Thankyou! submitted by /u/ChickenBiryaniSpicy [link] [comments]

Hey there, I am planning to migrate an on-prem PHP Web Application which is hosted on a Windows Server. I want to host it on an Azure Windows Server VM with Apache. I am not quite sure how this exactly can work and I would be happy for some Input. My steps would be: Deploy Windows VM Install Apache as a service and migrate Update the Network Security Group to allow inbound traffic on Port 80 Will my website be reachable via the public IP? How can I set the DNS so I can use a domain name? Thank you very much submitted by /u/DurstigerHugo [link] [comments]

Hey, We had a team research switch over from Traffic Manager to Front Door from API entry point and load balancer, etc. The original finding was that Front Door average duration was ~50ms slower, which was good enough for us to just proceed on Dev environment. I did DNS cutover and everything was fine, except clients first requests are really slow, like 5x slower than normal. And I found that overall durations are 12% longer. I understand it's L7 but still with CDN and other features I thought we might get a performance increase. The results are terribly inconsistent as well. With TM I could get constant duration of ~400ms. But with FD it can be sub 200ms but sometimes 800ms. The average ends up pretty close but the same requests are so random with performance. For context, this is a limited Dev test and use-case, primarily based on results when U.S. client is forced to connect to origin in WestEurope. This is AppGW which uses App Services behind it and utilizes APIM. Using FD Standard SKU without any optimizations on like caching (can't) and no WAF rules. At the moment, we still use WAF_v2 on AppGW and terminate SSL there,, but will eventually switch to use FD Premium to use those features. Should I be worried about this performance even in same region requests? Anybody have similar experience doing switch from TM to FD? submitted by /u/Lack_of_Swag [link] [comments]

So currently in my final year of college and working full time in IT and am curious if having sc900 az900 and ai 900 certs has any value at all? submitted by /u/Snorlax_jj [link] [comments]

I cannot seem to find any links to it, but want to make sure. Do you get free credits to lower the cost of certification exams when you have a Microsoft Visual Studio subscription (Enterprise)? I have one from work and would be nice if it covers some of that cost. submitted by /u/yoda_says_so [link] [comments]

Warning: Bit of a rant. Ever since Black Friday (actually started a few days before that already), we've noticed capacity issues in West-Europe. Sidenote, our company is promised capacity by MS. We're considered a priority customer (one of the biggest Azure consumers in our region) so we figured hah, let's just go through our 6 figure support contract and get capacity anyway. Nope. There is no capacity. I'm not talking about Hurr-Durr create an on-demand capacity reservation for sku X Y Z. Or go through reservations, commit for 3 years. Nope, even that fails. We have literal reservations running for compute SKUs that fail to allocate. VMs that need to reboot through a deallocation mechanism for patching literally do not come up anymore. Scaling mechanisms that throw out completely random errors due to allocation issues. The support engineers assigned on our case sent us through 50 loopholes. In the end, the message was clear: either go for different SKUs or migrate to a different region. We're Microsoft, we care about you as a valued customer, however the datacenters in West Europe are quite literally fucking full since the cyber week. My message to the fellow architects is as follows: The Cloud is actually limited. End of the day, make sure you're prepared to fail over to a completely different region with completely different SKUs. Hard pill to swallow for us, our customer contracts have data resiliency requirements not to mention we simply never thought a different region would be required.

What are the use cases for the Azure API? I use Terraform and Azure CLI. I don't see any reason why I should choose the Python API over terraform or az cli. submitted by /u/CaishenNefri [link] [comments]

So I got enrolled in a instructor led AZ-104 course starting in February. I keep reading here that Microsoft Learn is the go-to resource for learning, so I thought I can go through it and get a head start for the course. 5 minutes into it and this happens : Create a resource group and managed disk by using PowerShell. Create a resource group. Create a managed disk in the resource group. Configure the managed disk by using Azure PowerShell. Increase the size of the managed disk. Change the disk performance SKU. LOLWUT!? Is the instructor led course this technical right away or? Maybe there's something else I should read first? submitted by /u/Interesting_Page_168 [link] [comments]

Hello, I am a newbie in Azure. I managed to send using mqtt data from my Pi to Azure via Node Red. My goal now is to log these data in a CSV file (Each time data is published). How can I achieve this? Regards, submitted by /u/yidir93 [link] [comments]

I really did not think I would pass. My particular strategy was a little haywire I won’t lie. I started with Scott Duffys Udemy Course. After this I bit the bullet on an Acloudguru sub for sake of labs. I didn’t do all of the labs offered but if I were to go back and do it again; I would. The practice tests helped a bit as well. John Savill is great as anyone who doesn’t live under a rock has pointed out. After a bit of time doing ACG labs and covering the weak points I noticed in ACG exam; I went and watched his cram. I also purchased TD exams which helped me further isolate my weak points. I went and watched his Masterclass for the topics I was weakest in. This also flipped my results and I ended up being strongest in the places I reviewed via Johns classes. I studied up until the buzzer which may not be healthy. I spent 4 hours in the office after my shifts this week for sake of not wasting any time commuting and tiring/losing focus. If I were to go back and reinforce efforts I would: Do more labs; specifically from MS. ACG wasn’t valuable enough for its price in my mind when Savill has everything on YouTube tbh https://apps.ankiweb.net/ ; A sysadmin coworker told me about these flash cards. I would create this and do these everyday. * I plan to use these going into 305 and help maintain my knowledge * Take less notes; Draw more pictures. Savills approach with the whiteboard is much more engaging and meaningful in my mind. For MS Learn: -It was helpful to memorize the pages I’d need but all MS learn really did was boost my confidence tbh. Didn’t find myself using it much -You have access to everything which I really didn’t believe; I thought for sure I’d lose training docs. Huge time sink as everyone’s mentioned. My background: 2 years of Geek Squad 1 year of Data Engineering 11 months of desktop support. We have a separate help desk though; I’m one of two intune and SCCM admins managing workstations and mobile devices. submitted by /u/Typical_Commercial84 [link] [comments]

Just passed SC-300 with a 728, which is barely passing the line, but I got there! Background: Almost 2 years of experience. I have zero experience with Azure/Entra, however I am a Windows sysadmin so all I needed to do was connect the dots to cloud. What I used to study: I DO NOT recommend anyone do this, but I studied from 9am today to 6:15pm. That’s all the studying I did, it’s VERY VERY dumb, but I woke up this morning determined to do something. I used John Savill’s exam cram, MS Learn practice exams (did not look at the modules once), and Alan Rodrigues’s practice exams. Overall, I was confident the whole way through, I’d definitely give the MS modules a look over as their material is the most up to date with what’s on the test, but it’s only because of my experience that I even knew what was going on in the test.

I'm currently learning python. I want to add to this and considered getting an az-204 cert. Is this a good match? my other ideas were to scrub my learning python ND EITHER GET A COMPTIA A+ or A Microsoft cert for an entry level IT position. I want to be a developer but I need a job asap. I'm willing to work while I study to support myself and give it time. but I want a legit job in a few months 3-6. Suggestions for which cert to get or where to start are much appreciated. THANK YOU. submitted by /u/StarbrryJuice [link] [comments]

I have an enterprise E5 subscription for Office365 but I’m having issues using some services. Specifically conditional access (new policy is greyed out) and InTune which says I don’t have permissions (global admin). This is my own personal lab environment I’m using to learn with. Based on the comparison tables I believe I should have access to these services? submitted by /u/Upbeat_Row_8674 [link] [comments]

But I am the subscription owner!!!! This was glitching on Friday but I could still access cost management now and again. But since Saturday no access! Any ideas what could be causing this, or how to resolve this? I am under a Visual Studio Professional subscription that is currently being renewed. But I doubt that is what the issue is as I didn't see this on previous renewals. submitted by /u/unit1_nz [link] [comments]
