DHCP

Cburanich: /* Our DHCP Setup */

=Our DHCP Setup=

Our DHCP is run on [[Odin]] and [[Friia]]. DHCP is what gives out the IP addresses to the devices on our network. Without it, we would have to use static IP addresses, or we would not be able to communicate properly. Both of the servers keep each other synced on what IP addresses have been given out to ensure there are no conflicts.

==Address Pool==

Our scope is 10.21.25.0, as that is our network. The DHCP server only distributes addresses in from 10.21.25.30 to 10.21.25.247. The rest in the network are reserved for servers and printers, or anything else that needs a static IP. The following chart represents our current setup...

===Hostname IP address===
Gateway 10.21.25.1

Valhalla 10.21.25.2

Odin 10.21.25.3

Friia 10.21.25.4

Yggdrasil 10.21.25.5

MacMini 10.21.25.6

Asgard 10.21.25.7

Heimdall (ESXI VM's) 10.21.25.8

Thor 10.21.25.9

Not assigned 10.21.25.10

LoganWeb (VM Valhalla) 10.21.25.11

Sleipnir (VM Valhalla) 10.21.25.12

Midgard (Unraid) 10.21.25.13

Macmini Backup 10.21.25.15

NAS 24PinTech 10.21.25.16

Perle IOLAN Console Serv 10.21.25.17

Opengear 10.21.25.18

Sleipnir 2 10.21.25.19

vSphere Purposes 10.21.25.20-25

Fog 10.21.25.29

==Address Leases==

These are all of the current DHCP releases that the DHCP servers have put out that are active.

==Reservations==

This is where all of our static DHCP-side reservations for our servers, printers, NAS, etc., are located. You can double click any of them to edit their specific settings.

==='''Hostname IP address'''===
LoganWeb (VM on Valhalla) 10.21.25.11

NAS 24PinTech 10.21.25.16

SC-P8000Series-2D6580 10.21.25.90

NPI7C274C (HP LaserJet P4014) 10.21.25.241

NPI82FF0E (HP Color LaserJet M553) 10.21.25.243

==Scope Options==

This is where we configure our DHCP options. To configure options that we don't already have set, right click "Scope Options" and click on "Configure Options" and configure what you need. Below are the options we already have set:

[[File:DHCP_Options.PNG]]

These options set where the computers will look for DNS, what our domain name is ([[CISCOACA.local]]) and the other options tell computers to PXE boot from [[FOG]] and configures the settings they need to boot from [[FOG]].

==Policies==

These are settings that are applied to certain devices based off of rules defined by the policy, like IP address range, vendor, etc.

The only policy we have currently configured is called UEFI, which applies to network booting via UEFI. It sets options 66 and 67 to make sure devices will boot properly off of [[FOG]]. 67 is set to ipxe.efi, and 66 is set to 10.21.25.4.

==Server Options==

This is where settings can be configured globally across the whole DHCP server. We have none of these currently configured.

==Policies (Not within scope)==

Same as above policies but global, we do not have this configured.

==Filters==

This allows you to block or allow certain MAC addresses from receiving DHCP addresses.

Midgard/UnRaid

2022-02-09T18:39:00Z

Cburanich: /* list of installed plug-in's and dockers and what they do: */

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Midgard/UnRaid}}

==System Information:==
CPU: 2x Intel® Xeon® CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz

RAM:24 GiB DDR3 Single-bit ECC (max. installable capacity 384 GiB)

OS: Linux 5.10.28-Unraid x86_64

Storage: 1.4 TB SERVER storage (used as parity drive), and 9 1TB hdds (8 in a array and one acting as a cache drive)[[File:Midgard sysinfo.png|thumb|477x477px|System info reported by UnRaid|none]]

==What is Midgard:==
The Midgard Server was designed as a backup server. This server is going to help backup files, data, applications, software, and hardware. Backups help prevent data loss and save our database. Midgard will help backup all sorts of data and files here at 24Pintech. A backup server is an essential for a program like 24PinTech so that we dont lose any valuable information through our database.

==What is Unraid:==
Unraid is a Operating System that is used for Linux to store and help manage all kinds of data. Unraid helps us create arrays of drives so that all users can access files through our Network. We were originally going to ESXI for our server but the version of ESXI that was going to be utilized was incompatiable.

- [https://www.armandgilbert.com/unraid-the-good-the-bad-the-ugly/#:~:text=unRAID%20is%20an%20OS%2C%20an,video%2C%20music%2C%20etc What is Unraid.]

==The Creation of Midgard:==

#Downloaded and installed [https://unraid.net/ UnRaid].
#Tested the Raid Setup
#Added Midgard to the Domain through SMB settings.
#Rearranged the Array for the server to have a 1.4 TB parity drive using the drives in the server (NOT IN THE ARRAY), 8 1 TB Hard Drives, and a1 TB Cache Hard Drive.
#Created a new Array.
#Set and make the IP Address of the Midgard Server to 10.21.25.13.
#Changed the Name of the server to Midgard.

==Switch Configuration When Using LACP And Port Bonding:==
When configuring an LACP etherchannel between a switch and UnRaid server use <code>{(C-IF-RANGE)#channel-protocol lacp}</code> on the switch and "active-backup (1)" etherchannel bond on the UnRaid server.

- [https://www.grandmetric.com/knowledge-base/design_and_configure/how-to-configure-lacp-on-cisco/ LACP Switch Configuration.]

==The Community Apps Tab:==
Under the apps tab, when clicked on, opens what is best described as an App Store. In this App store there are many community developed apps that can be implemented into UnRaid. They can be a docker (which is a self isolated running application without the need of hardware emulation, and uses OS emulation to run the app), or they can be a plug-in. There are a lot of different apps in this store and a lot of things we can do with them, from running a videogame server, backing up UnRaid to a google drive account, to even hosting it's own fog server locally!
[[File:Community apps.png|thumb|What the community apps tab looks like]]

===list of installed plug-in's and dockers and what they do:===

#'''Theme Engine:''' Create or import a custom color theme for the unRAID webGui.
#'''Community Applications:''' The One Stop Shop for all applications for unRaid.
#'''ProFTPd:''' Allows FTP access through Midgard (https://youtu.be/dJsbBRy_JTM) Login: ftp_pintech Pass: Medium level pass

==Troubleshooting:==
This section will help aide and find solutions to any problems that can possibly occur on the server.

===How to Delete A Share In UnRaid:===
[[File:Unraid where is cmd 2.png|thumb|391x391px]]
To delete a share in UnRaid, if it is empty, through the web gui under the shares tab, although if not empty and you don't want to delete everything through file explorer then you can do it through the command line which is located in the top right of the web gui (displayed in the image provided). Just copy paste this command into the terminal and replace the placeholder text with what share you want to remove.
rm -rf /mnt/user/Backups/(insert share name here)

===Backup Did Not Complete Properly:===
If the Backup did not finish that could mean that no files or data were restored. It is also possible that some files were resotred and some were not. Here are a few soloution to this problem.

====Identifying The Data That Was Not Restored:====

#Open Windows Server Essentials, and select Computer and Backups
#Choose the Device that the backup did not complete succesfully and view the properties.
#Choose the backup that did not complete and view the details.
#The details of the backup will show green check marks on the areas that were successful in the Backup

===How to Replace a Bad Drive in the SAS:===

#STOP THE ARRAY FIRST; PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD (it's under the main tab scroll to the bottom)
#Shutdown the SAS (power button is on the back of the MIDGAURD SAS, NOT THE THOR SAS
#Replace the bad drive (it's a hot swap drive, in and out)
#Turn on the SAS & reboot the unraid server. If the array is stopped just hold the power button down on the front for a force shutdown (MAKE SURE THE ARRAY ISN'T ONLINE and no data will be lost)
#Under the main tab (if the array has auto started STOP THE ARRAY) add the new replacement drive via the drop down menus and the start array button will say "replacement drive attached"
#HIT START AND NOT WORRY ABOUT IT FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS!!!

===How to Register a Drive if the Drive is Disabled Due to an Outside Force:===

#Stop the array, it's under the main tab scroll to the bottom (very important!)
#un-assign the drive with an error (red x), click the drop down on the drive and select "empty"
#Start the array WITH THE DRIVE MISSING, it should say "drive not installed"
#Stop the array again (also very important)
#re-add the drive through the drop down menu
#START THE ARRAY AND NOT WORRY ABOUT IT FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS!!! (it'll just rebuild the drive, no biggie)

==='''How to Update UnRaid:'''===
[[File:Update OS.png|thumb]]
Go to the tools tab

#Go to the "tools" tab.
#Under the "About" section select "Update OS" depicted in the image to the right.
#Select check for updates in the top right.
#A script will run, once it is done running hit done, and UnRaid will tell you if there is a new version or if the system is up to date.

3D Printing

2022-02-04T18:19:26Z

Cburanich: Removed all passwords displayed on wiki

==Overview==
There will be an occasion where Chamberlain will want you to have something cool and quirky to 3D print or if you're lucky he'll let you 3D print for fun. Overall, if you're unsure on how to 3D print, this page will effectively teach you on how to use MakerBot Print and the 3D printer.

==Logging into MakerBot Print==
[[File:Login screen.png|thumb|The login screen when launching MakerBot Print for the first time.]]
(You may have to [https://www.makerbot.com/3d-printers/apps/makerbot-print/download/ download] the MakerBot Print software as it is not on every computer.) When booting up the software for the first time, you will encounter the login screen to access the software. The credentials to login are as follows:

*Username or Email: '''24pintech@gmail.com'''
*Password: Mid-level ITX password

After inputting the login details, you shouldn't have to worry about needing to login again, unless you log out or install the program on a different computer. There is also a good likelihood that you may have to connect to the printer, to which you will select the option "'''''Connect via IP''''' "

*3D Printer IP: '''10.21.25.129'''

==Researching 3D Models==
Usually you will be told on what to print, or once you discover on your desired print, you will have to research a '''Free''' '''Downloadable''' 3D print of the model (Usually typing in the specific thing/character into the search bar and adding 3D print to the end of the search should yield some good results.) If you also get stuck on finding a good model to get, MakerBot [https://www.thingiverse.com/ Thingiverse] is also a reliable (and probably first choice) website to go to. MakerBot Print works best if the model is a MakerBot stl file ('''.stl''')
[[File:.STL example.png|thumb|Example of a .stl file]]

==Printing Procedure==
[[File:Mogus.png|thumb|Example of a successful import + List of print options]]
Before printing, make sure that the filament is the desired color that you want to print with. If it's the color you desire, then you are ready to print. If not, using the knob on the 3D printer itself, turn the knob to have it hover over filament, push the knob to select and push it again to select '''''Unload Filament'''''. You will have to wait a bit for the extruder to heat up to its required temperature for it to remove the filament from itself. You can remove the wheel of spool and insert a new wheel with your desired color. Keep in mind, you will have to select '''''Load Filament''''' and follow the on-screen instructions there.

Once you have downloaded the file, you should be able to double-click the file and it should open MakerBot Print and input the model into the base plate. On the right hand side of the UI, are the print options for the model.

*'''I with a circle around it (Model Info):''' Options on preferred measurements when working on the model
*'''A cogwheel (Print Settings):''' Allows print options on what to add '''(Click ''Custom Settings'' ->''' '''''Quick Settings'' -> ''Base Layer (''Have ''raft selected).'' You also want ''Custom Settings'' -> ''Supports + Bridging'' -> ''Support Type (''Have ''Breakaway Support'' selected). This is mandatory as if you don't do it, the extruder will "self-destruct" and you'll just have a mess and a bundle of spool that messes up the print.'''
*'''Two squares and a rectangle (Arrange):''' Allows you to move the model up, down, left, right
*'''Two arrows that make a circle (Orient):''' Allows you to rotate the model
*'''One small square and a big square (Scale):''' Allows you to enlarge or shrink the model '''(If your desired model is too large for the printer, just click ''Scale To Max'')'''

Once you have scaled the model and/or added a raft and breakaway support, then you can hit the red print button, and then click '''Begin Print'''. Afterwards, you remove the finished product, and use x-acto knives or something Chamberlain has to clean up the model and you're done.

==Frequent Errors==

*'''Extruder Error''': An error like this can be common, and it's not an issue to worry about. All you have to do is just pull the extruder out of its socket and put it back in, and it's fixed.
*'''Filament Jam:''' This error can be a little worrisome. 90% of the time it's a filament issue, resulting in you swapping out the filament. If the filament that's known to work is not extruding out of the extruder, then you have to disassemble the extruder and clean out the jam. It's a pain, but here are the guides for both extruders we have.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Macs to classrooms}}

==Introduction==
Teachers in MHS request Macs on a daily basis, as well as bring them back to 24pintech. When a teacher requests a Mac we want to make sure that teacher gets the Mac OS and not Windows, or Linux.

==Imaging the Mac==
Once a Mac is confirmed to work you must image it, especially if there is a different OS other than Mac. In order to image a Mac you must:

#hold N until a globe appears on screen
#allow everything to load
#once prompted select restore a master
#select "October 2017"
#select "Macintosh HD"
#press the play button

Once the image process is complete restart the Mac.

==Start-up==
If a Mac has Multiple operating systems installed, upon booting up the PC you may notice it automatically boots up into the old operating system that is not Mac OS. In order to bypass this, hold the Alt key as the Mac is booting up. This will display all of the operating systems installed and allow you to select one. Select "Macintosh" and boot it up.

==Set-up==
Once imaged and in the Mac OS sign in using the MUSD credentials

Username: musd

Password: iw2bosx

Once signed in, make "Macintosh" the boot OS. do this by going to applications--->Utility--->Disk Utility. Make sure apps are able to be downloaded as well as the Mac itself can connect to the WIFI.

Delete any other operating systems, by going into disk utility and delete them. If the Mac does not allow you to delete the partition, then run boot camp and delete it that way.

Before you take any Mac to a teacher you must:

Install:

Apple Remote Desktop

Free Fonts

Imovie

Final cut (27” mac only)

(install all the apps through the app store, ask chamberlain for the account information)

Change the name of the computer on the Mac itself as well as in the inventory

==Accounts==
Now that everything is set up go ahead and add accounts to the system. 2-3 accounts will be added to the system. Mandatory in any and all systems is going to be the 24pintech account.

Username: 24pintech

Password: Low-level ATX password

make the 24pin account an Admin

The next account is the teacher's account. Make this account an Admin. This will be a generic account.

Username: First Initial+last name.

Password: First initial+last initial+year

If there is going to be students using that specific computer the account will be generic.

Username: Student

There will be no password for the student accounts. Student accounts will not be admin either.

==Delivering the Mac==

Once EVERYTHING listed above has been completed take the Mac to the teachers room and set them up. The teacher should have a spot for the Mac to go. The spot should have a Ethernet port, and power outlet near it. Upon arrival to the class be prepared to:

#Give the teacher the logins specific to Him/Her and their students (if this applies). A printed out sheet of paper with the logins is recommended for the teacher to reference later on.
#Show the teacher how to use Mac OS, because it can be confusing to most.
#Download any other requested apps the teacher may want/need.
#Name Mac(s) using our naming convention. CTE(Room#)(S or T)(##)

24PinKiosk

2022-02-04T18:16:55Z

Cburanich: /* Lockdown */

==What are the Kiosks?==
The kiosks allow 24PinTech customers to submit a work order form via Google Docs on campus in either the library or the front office.

The kiosks allow customers to put in work orders from various locations on campus, rather than having to find a computer on their own. Currently, we have two kiosks. The first kiosk is located in the library, and the second kiosk is in the office.

==How to Replicate==
The kiosks are now very easy to set up. There has been a complete image made when creating the first kiosk, so it's almost as simple as image a computer and drop it in. Use the image called "24PinKiosk". Simply, just plug in the power to the computer, the light, and the display. Connect the display's VGA cable, and the USB that controls the keyboard and mouse. That's it. Turn on the computer and connect it to the Internet (via Ethernet), and double check that it works. Pull out any unused cables and cable manage the kiosk, and you are done.

==Lockdown==
The kiosk was locked down via several methods to ensure that it is secure and so no one can access it. The first thing done was a program installed called [http://openkiosk.mozdevgroup.com OpenKiosk], which is a Mozilla Firefox based web browser that has various options for locking the browser. With it, it was locked to only allow the Google Forms page and the [https://24pin.tech/ 24Pin.tech] website. In addition, the only way to exit OpenKiosk is to plug a keyboard into the computer (which requires a key to the back), and to use the key combination "Shift+F1". This will allow you to input a password, which is "Low-level ATX password" (case-sensitive, no quotes). This grants you access outside of OpenKiosk and to its settings. OpenKiosk was placed in the Startup folder in the Start Menu in order to ensure that it opens

In addition to using OpenKiosk to lock everything down, there were registry edits to make sure OpenKiosk could not be escaped at all.

The first of the registry edits was to get rid of all of the options on the Control-Alt-Delete screen in Windows 7. The registry edits are in the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
After navigating to this key, find the values '''DisableLockWorkstation, HideFastUserSwitching, NoLogoff, DisableChangePassword,''' and '''DisableTaskMgr''' and set the value data to '''1'''. If any of the values do not exist, they can be created within the key. This disables all options on the Control-Alt-Delete menu.

The final edits made were deleting some programs that Windows uses for some of the functions, such as accessibility options. To delete those, you must navigate to the following folder:
C:\Windows\System32
After navigating to this folder, delete '''Magnify.exe, Narrator.exe,''' and '''Osk.exe'''. Those remove all Ease of Access/Accessibility options, and those also do nothing in the Control-Alt-Delete menu or via keyboard shortcuts.

==Updating Restrictions==
Restart the computer and log into the admin account

===How to Delete A Share In UnRaid:===
[[File:Unraid where is cmd 2.png|thumb|391x391px]]
To delete a share in UnRaid, if it is empty, through the web gui under the shares tab, although if not empty and you don't want to delete everything through file explorer then you can do it through the command line which is located in the top right of the web gui (displayed in the image provided). Just copy paste this command into the terminal and replace the placeholder text with what share you want to remove.
rm -rf /mnt/user/Backups/(insert share name here)

===Backup Did Not Complete Properly:===
If the Backup did not finish that could mean that no files or data were restored. It is also possible that some files were resotred and some were not. Here are a few soloution to this problem.

====Identifying The Data That Was Not Restored:====

#Open Windows Server Essentials, and select Computer and Backups
#Choose the Device that the backup did not complete succesfully and view the properties.
#Choose the backup that did not complete and view the details.
#The details of the backup will show green check marks on the areas that were successful in the Backup

===How to Replace a Bad Drive in the SAS:===

#STOP THE ARRAY FIRST; PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD (it's under the main tab scroll to the bottom)
#Shutdown the SAS (power button is on the back of the MIDGAURD SAS, NOT THE THOR SAS
#Replace the bad drive (it's a hot swap drive, in and out)
#Turn on the SAS & reboot the unraid server. If the array is stopped just hold the power button down on the front for a force shutdown (MAKE SURE THE ARRAY ISN'T ONLINE and no data will be lost)
#Under the main tab (if the array has auto started STOP THE ARRAY) add the new replacement drive via the drop down menus and the start array button will say "replacement drive attached"
#HIT START AND NOT WORRY ABOUT IT FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS!!!

===How to Register a Drive if the Drive is Disabled Due to an Outside Force:===

#Stop the array, it's under the main tab scroll to the bottom (very important!)
#un-assign the drive with an error (red x), click the drop down on the drive and select "empty"
#Start the array WITH THE DRIVE MISSING, it should say "drive not installed"
#Stop the array again (also very important)
#re-add the drive through the drop down menu
#START THE ARRAY AND NOT WORRY ABOUT IT FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS!!! (it'll just rebuild the drive, no biggie)

==='''How to Update UnRaid:'''===
[[File:Update OS.png|thumb]]
Go to the tools tab

#Go to the "tools" tab.
#Under the "About" section select "Update OS" depicted in the image to the right.
#Select check for updates in the top right.
#A script will run, once it is done running hit done, and UnRaid will tell you if there is a new version or if the system is up to date.

Midgard/UnRaid

2022-02-04T18:13:34Z

Cburanich: /* list of installed plug-in's and dockers and what they do: */

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Midgard/UnRaid}}

==System Information:==
CPU: 2x Intel® Xeon® CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz

RAM:24 GiB DDR3 Single-bit ECC (max. installable capacity 384 GiB)

OS: Linux 5.10.28-Unraid x86_64

Storage: 1.4 TB SERVER storage (used as parity drive), and 9 1TB hdds (8 in a array and one acting as a cache drive)[[File:Midgard sysinfo.png|thumb|477x477px|System info reported by UnRaid|none]]

==What is Midgard:==
The Midgard Server was designed as a backup server. This server is going to help backup files, data, applications, software, and hardware. Backups help prevent data loss and save our database. Midgard will help backup all sorts of data and files here at 24Pintech. A backup server is an essential for a program like 24PinTech so that we dont lose any valuable information through our database.

==What is Unraid:==
Unraid is a Operating System that is used for Linux to store and help manage all kinds of data. Unraid helps us create arrays of drives so that all users can access files through our Network. We were originally going to ESXI for our server but the version of ESXI that was going to be utilized was incompatiable.

==The Creation of Midgard:==

#Downloaded and installed [https://unraid.net/ UnRaid].
#Tested the Raid Setup
#Added Midgard to the Domain through SMB settings.
#Rearranged the Array for the server to have a 1.4 TB parity drive using the drives in the server (NOT IN THE ARRAY), 8 1 TB Hard Drives, and a1 TB Cache Hard Drive.
#Created a new Array.
#Set and make the IP Address of the Midgard Server to 10.21.25.13.
#Changed the Name of the server to Midgard.

==Switch Configuration When Using LACP And Port Bonding:==
When configuring an LACP etherchannel between a switch and UnRaid server use <code>{(C-IF-RANGE)#channel-protocol lacp}</code> on the switch and "active-backup (1)" etherchannel bond on the UnRaid server.

==How to back up Odin (10.21.25.3) and Friia (10.21.25.4) manually==
This is how we back up our two Windows servers to an external drive.

#Get the external drive labelled "server backups" from the middle drawer on the left of chamberlains desk.
#Take the drive into the back room and remove the guard on the server labelled Valhalla and plug the drive into the right usb port.

==Restore Windows Server Backup on ESXi==
The following process was used to restore a backup of our production server Odin which is a active directory server with DNS, DHCP, Print, and other services. In the process you will have to use DRSM (Directory Service Restore Mode) if you are trying to restore a server running Active Directory because if you try in normal Windows mode you'll encounter an error. The restored version of the VM may encounter some errors you may have to fix but it should sort itself out. This may be just because you are restoring an older machine so whatever it's running that's synced may get confused. The following steps guide you through this process:

#Grab a backup of the Windows Server you are trying to restore
#Go to one of our ESXi machines and create a new VM with the necessary requirements for the machine you want to restore. In our case we are trying to restore a Windows Server 2019 Domain Controller so we gave it 100 GB of storage, 4 CPUs, and 8 GB of memory.
#Do basic setup of the machine and once it is installed you want to add the Windows Server Backup Feature
#Once done you have to boot the Server back into Directory Service Restore Mode (A type of safe mode.) To do this run msconfig by either right clicking the start menu or doing Win+R.
#Go over to the Boot Tab and check the following two checks, Safe mode and DSRM (Directory Service Restore Mode.) Follow the prompt and restart the computer.
#Once the computer has booted into DRSM open Windows Server Backup and run the restore command.
#Follow the prompts depending on where your backup is stored and what server you are trying to restore.
#When asked what files you want to restore, do System State if you are trying to restore an entire machine or one of the other options if you are trying to restore certain files.
#Go ahead and check the Active Directory Replication check mark and continue on.
#The restoration process should start and once done the computer will have to restart, it will restart into DRSM. You’ll have to go back into msconfig and uncheck the safe mode option and restart the computer again.
#The computer should reboot into the restored version of the machine, there may be some errors or active directory issues but those should sort themselves out. This is just because you are restoring an older version of a machine and the active directory is confused.

==How to back up Logan_Web (10.21.25.11) Manually==
Step One; The first and most essential step to backing up Logan_Web onto the Fog server is to register it to the Fog server itself, in order to be able to perform the process. If not already completed, this can be performed by doing a full host registration. Begin this by logging into the Fog server (http://10.21.25.29/fog) and selecting the 'Images' tab. Create a new image, and name it accordingly to what is required. Once completed, you're going to find Logan and select it. Before booting into the device, make sure to head into the 'Actions' tab near the top and choose to Edit settings. On the first tab, the Virtual Hardware, make sure that the ability to connect with the NIC is available; as this is how we'll be PXI booting. Then, head into the VM settings and expand the 'Boot Options' category. Scroll for just a moment and select the option to force the device to boot into BIOS. Once accomplished, go into the boot settings of the BIOS and move 'Ethernet' to the top of the list. Continue the booting process, and do not forget to rearrange the Boot Order at a later date. Once you are prompted with a menu, select 'Full Host Registration'

Hostname: Dev_Logan

logging into the Fog server (http://10.21.25.29/fog) and selecting the 'Hosts' tab. Search this list of servers for 'dev_logan', as this is the server we're going to be backing up. Select the 'Capture' option on 'dev_logan', and once completed, the next time that Logan is PXI booted through ethernet it'll be automatically pulled and backed up.

Step Two; Once this request to pull the image from Logan has gone through, the next step is to boot into Logan to perform the backup. Head to https://10.21.25.8/ui/#/login and logon to the ESXi device. Once completed, you're going to find Logan again and select it. Before booting into the device, make sure to head into the 'Actions' tab near the top and choose to Edit settings. On the first tab, the Virtual Hardware, make sure that the ability to connect with the NIC is available; as this is how we'll be PXI booting. Then, head into the VM settings and expand the 'Boot Options' category. Scroll for just a moment and select the option to force the device to boot into BIOS.

Step Three; When ready

Step Two; Once the request has been sent over and has gone through, you'll need to pull the image from the Fog server onto Logan. This can be done by 'Pxi Booting', as in, taking it off of the network by booting from Ethernet. By doing this, you'll be initiating the booting process in such a way that the image will begin its installation. You can 'Pxi Boot' a system by going into the boot menu while the device is starting up, and selecting the Ethernet option. The actual process of this may be more complicated, and you can get more insight into it *here*. (Possibly hyperlink to another article if existing, if not then write a short section on it here.)

Step Three; Coming to the end now, the final step in your process will be to store the image you've just used in the UnRAID Server, for future usage and documentation. This can be done by first logging into the UnRAID server and then navigating your way to

Step Four; Verify full system functionality as any good technician in 24PinTech should, and then your task should be complete.

If not already completed, this can be performed by doing a full host registration. Begin this by logging into the Fog server (http://10.21.25.29/fog) and selecting the 'Images' tab. Create a new image, and name it accordingly to what is required. Once completed, you're going to find Logan and select it. Before booting into the device, make sure to head into the 'Actions' tab near the top and choose to Edit settings. On the first tab, the Virtual Hardware, make sure that the ability to connect with the NIC is available; as this is how we'll be PXI booting. Then, head into the VM settings and expand the 'Boot Options' category. Scroll for just a moment and select the option to force the device to boot into BIOS. Once accomplished, go into the boot settings of the BIOS and move 'Ethernet' to the top of the list. Continue the booting process, and do not forget to rearrange the Boot Order at a later date. Once you are prompted with a menu, select 'Full Host Registration'

Hostname: Dev_Logan

logging into the Fog server (http://10.21.25.29/fog) and selecting the 'Hosts' tab. Search this list of servers for 'dev_logan', as this is the server we're going to be backing up. Select the 'Capture' option on 'dev_logan', and once completed, the next time that Logan is PXI booted through ethernet it'll be automatically pulled and backed up.

Step Two; Once this request to pull the image from Logan has gone through, the next step is to boot into Logan to perform the backup. Head to https://10.21.25.8/ui/#/login and logon to the ESXi device. Once completed, you're going to find Logan again and select it. Before booting into the device, make sure to head into the 'Actions' tab near the top and choose to Edit settings. On the first tab, the Virtual Hardware, make sure that the ability to connect with the NIC is available; as this is how we'll be PXI booting. Then, head into the VM settings and expand the 'Boot Options' category. Scroll for just a moment and select the option to force the device to boot into BIOS.

Step Three; When ready

Step Two; Once the request has been sent over and has gone through, you'll need to pull the image from the Fog server onto Logan. This can be done by 'Pxi Booting', as in, taking it off of the network by booting from Ethernet. By doing this, you'll be initiating the booting process in such a way that the image will begin its installation. You can 'Pxi Boot' a system by going into the boot menu while the device is starting up, and selecting the Ethernet option. The actual process of this may be more complicated, and you can get more insight into it *here*. (Possibly hyperlink to another article if existing, if not then write a short section on it here.)

Step Three; Coming to the end now, the final step in your process will be to store the image you've just used in the UnRAID Server, for future usage and documentation. This can be done by first logging into the UnRAID server and then navigating your way to

Step Four; Verify full system functionality as any good technician in 24PinTech should, and then your task should be complete.

This is how we back up our two Windows servers to an external drive.

#Get the external drive labelled "server backups" from the middle drawer on the left of chamberlains desk.
#Take the drive into the back room and remove the guard on the server labelled Valhalla and plug the drive into the right usb port.
#On a computer in the classroom use chrome and type "10.21.25.2" into the address bar. The log in for esxi is the same for your log in for class. (Server Admin accounts only)
#Go to virtual machines and click on "Odin" click on "Edit" and click on "Add other device" and then "USB device" select Western Digital My Passport 25E2. Press save and click on the window of the virtual machine to be taken to Odins desktop.
#Click on "Actions" and then "Guest OS" "Send Keys" and "ctrl-alt-del" and log in using your profile in class. (Server Admin accounts only)
#Use the start menu and type "Windows Server Backup" open it.
#The Snap-in on the left has the option to to perform "Local Backup" the snap in on the right has an option to backup select it and go through the menu that pops up and select the following options "Backup Once, Different options, Full server, local drive select "my passport" and hit backup.
#After backup is finished go back to 10.21.25.2 and click on Odin then "Edit" and press the small x next to the hard drive. Put the hard drive in chamberlains desk when you are finished.
#For Friia do the exact same process.

===Automated Backups===
The following command will create a Task Scheduler task named '''''WeeklySystemStateBackup''''' that runs every Saturday ( '''''SAT''''' ) at '''''19:00 (7 pm).''''' This task will run ''WEEKLY'' with the ''HIGHEST'' privileges. It will run the Windows Server Backup CLI to backup ''SYSTEMSTATEBACKUP'' to target volume "E" (Volume E is a physical hard drive in the back on the classroom called "my passport") <blockquote>Schtasks /Create /SC weekly /D SAT /TN WeeklySystemsStateBackup /ST 19:00 /TR “wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backupTarget: E:”</blockquote>

This can also be ran manually via the task scheduler.

==Restore Windows Server Backup on ESXi==
The following process was used to restore a backup of our production server Odin which is a active directory server with DNS, DHCP, Print, and other services. In the process you will have to use DRSM (Directory Service Restore Mode) if you are trying to restore a server running Active Directory because if you try in normal Windows mode you'll encounter an error. The restored version of the VM may encounter some errors you may have to fix but it should sort itself out. This may be just because you are restoring an older machine so whatever it's running that's synced may get confused. The following steps guide you through this process:

#Grab a backup of the Windows Server you are trying to restore
#Go to one of our ESXi machines and create a new VM with the necessary requirements for the machine you want to restore. In our case we are trying to restore a Windows Server 2019 Domain Controller so we gave it 100 GB of storage, 4 CPUs, and 8 GB of memory.
#Do basic setup of the machine and once it is installed you want to add the Windows Server Backup Feature
#Once done you have to boot the Server back into Directory Service Restore Mode (A type of safe mode.) To do this run msconfig by either right clicking the start menu or doing Win+R.
#Go over to the Boot Tab and check the following two checks, Safe mode and DSRM (Directory Service Restore Mode.) Follow the prompt and restart the computer.
#Once the computer has booted into DRSM open Windows Server Backup and run the restore command.
#Follow the prompts depending on where your backup is stored and what server you are trying to restore.
#When asked what files you want to restore, do System State if you are trying to restore an entire machine or one of the other options if you are trying to restore certain files.
#Go ahead and check the Active Directory Replication check mark and continue on.
#The restoration process should start and once done the computer will have to restart, it will restart into DRSM. You’ll have to go back into msconfig and uncheck the safe mode option and restart the computer again.
#The computer should reboot into the restored version of the machine, there may be some errors or active directory issues but those should sort themselves out. This is just because you are restoring an older version of a machine and the active directory is confused.

== Installing OS X ==

=== How to Create Bootable Installer ===
You need to download the installer for the specific version of OS X (e.g. "Yosemite installer.app") from online because apple does not support a direct method to download the app. With a usb drive plugged into the mac you installed the installer on enter into terminal and enter the following command " sudo /Applications/Install\macOS\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/ (name of drive)" Wait for command to complete.

=== How to Install with Installer ===
and then plug usb into mac you want new OS X on. Turn off the mac and turn it back on and hold the options key while it boots until you boot into the boot order menu. Choose the usb and OS X will install.

==How to back up Logan_Web (10.21.25.11) Manually==
Step One; The first and most essential step to backing up Logan_Web onto the Fog server is to register it to the Fog server itself, in order to be able to perform the process. If not already completed, this can be performed by doing a full host registration. Begin this by logging into the Fog server (http://10.21.25.29/fog) and selecting the 'Images' tab. Create a new image, and name it accordingly to what is required. Once completed, you're going to find Logan and select it. Before booting into the device, make sure to head into the 'Actions' tab near the top and choose to Edit settings. On the first tab, the Virtual Hardware, make sure that the ability to connect with the NIC is available; as this is how we'll be PXI booting. Then, head into the VM settings and expand the 'Boot Options' category. Scroll for just a moment and select the option to force the device to boot into BIOS. Once accomplished, go into the boot settings of the BIOS and move 'Ethernet' to the top of the list. Continue the booting process, and do not forget to rearrange the Boot Order at a later date. Once you are prompted with a menu, select 'Full Host Registration'

Hostname: Dev_Logan

logging into the Fog server (http://10.21.25.29/fog) and selecting the 'Hosts' tab. Search this list of servers for 'dev_logan', as this is the server we're going to be backing up. Select the 'Capture' option on 'dev_logan', and once completed, the next time that Logan is PXI booted through ethernet it'll be automatically pulled and backed up.

Step Two; Once this request to pull the image from Logan has gone through, the next step is to boot into Logan to perform the backup. Head to https://10.21.25.8/ui/#/login and logon to the ESXi device. Once completed, you're going to find Logan again and select it. Before booting into the device, make sure to head into the 'Actions' tab near the top and choose to Edit settings. On the first tab, the Virtual Hardware, make sure that the ability to connect with the NIC is available; as this is how we'll be PXI booting. Then, head into the VM settings and expand the 'Boot Options' category. Scroll for just a moment and select the option to force the device to boot into BIOS.

Step Three; When ready

Step Two; Once the request has been sent over and has gone through, you'll need to pull the image from the Fog server onto Logan. This can be done by 'Pxi Booting', as in, taking it off of the network by booting from Ethernet. By doing this, you'll be initiating the booting process in such a way that the image will begin its installation. You can 'Pxi Boot' a system by going into the boot menu while the device is starting up, and selecting the Ethernet option. The actual process of this may be more complicated, and you can get more insight into it *here*. (Possibly hyperlink to another article if existing, if not then write a short section on it here.)

==Restore Windows Server Backup on ESXi==
The following process was used to restore a backup of our production server Odin which is a active directory server with DNS, DHCP, Print, and other services. In the process you will have to use DRSM (Directory Service Restore Mode) if you are trying to restore a server running Active Directory because if you try in normal Windows mode you'll encounter an error. The restored version of the VM may encounter some errors you may have to fix but it should sort itself out. This may be just because you are restoring an older machine so whatever it's running that's synced may get confused. The following steps guide you through this process:

#Grab a backup of the Windows Server you are trying to restore
#Go to one of our ESXi machines and create a new VM with the necessary requirements for the machine you want to restore. In our case we are trying to restore a Windows Server 2019 Domain Controller so we gave it 100 GB of storage, 4 CPUs, and 8 GB of memory.
#Do basic setup of the machine and once it is installed you want to add the Windows Server Backup Feature
#Once done you have to boot the Server back into Directory Service Restore Mode (A type of safe mode.) To do this run msconfig by either right clicking the start menu or doing Win+R.
#Go over to the Boot Tab and check the following two checks, Safe mode and DSRM (Directory Service Restore Mode.) Follow the prompt and restart the computer.
#Once the computer has booted into DRSM open Windows Server Backup and run the restore command.
#Follow the prompts depending on where your backup is stored and what server you are trying to restore.
#When asked what files you want to restore, do System State if you are trying to restore an entire machine or one of the other options if you are trying to restore certain files.
#Go ahead and check the Active Directory Replication check mark and continue on.
#The restoration process should start and once done the computer will have to restart, it will restart into DRSM. You’ll have to go back into msconfig and uncheck the safe mode option and restart the computer again.
#The computer should reboot into the restored version of the machine, there may be some errors or active directory issues but those should sort themselves out. This is just because you are restoring an older version of a machine and the active directory is confused.

==How to back up Logan_Web (10.21.25.11) Manually==
Step One; The first and most essential step to backing up Logan_Web onto the Fog server is to register it to the Fog server itself, in order to be able to perform the process. If not already completed, this can be performed by doing a full host registration. Begin this by logging into the Fog server (http://10.21.25.29/fog) and selecting the 'Images' tab. Create a new image, and name it accordingly to what is required. Once completed, you're going to find Logan and select it. Before booting into the device, make sure to head into the 'Actions' tab near the top and choose to Edit settings. On the first tab, the Virtual Hardware, make sure that the ability to connect with the NIC is available; as this is how we'll be PXI booting. Then, head into the VM settings and expand the 'Boot Options' category. Scroll for just a moment and select the option to force the device to boot into BIOS. Once accomplished, go into the boot settings of the BIOS and move 'Ethernet' to the top of the list. Continue the booting process, and do not forget to rearrange the Boot Order at a later date. Once you are prompted with a menu, select 'Full Host Registration'

Hostname: Dev_Logan

logging into the Fog server (http://10.21.25.29/fog) and selecting the 'Hosts' tab. Search this list of servers for 'dev_logan', as this is the server we're going to be backing up. Select the 'Capture' option on 'dev_logan', and once completed, the next time that Logan is PXI booted through ethernet it'll be automatically pulled and backed up.

Step Two; Once this request to pull the image from Logan has gone through, the next step is to boot into Logan to perform the backup. Head to https://10.21.25.8/ui/#/login and logon to the ESXi device. Once completed, you're going to find Logan again and select it. Before booting into the device, make sure to head into the 'Actions' tab near the top and choose to Edit settings. On the first tab, the Virtual Hardware, make sure that the ability to connect with the NIC is available; as this is how we'll be PXI booting. Then, head into the VM settings and expand the 'Boot Options' category. Scroll for just a moment and select the option to force the device to boot into BIOS.

Step Three; When ready

Step Two; Once the request has been sent over and has gone through, you'll need to pull the image from the Fog server onto Logan. This can be done by 'Pxi Booting', as in, taking it off of the network by booting from Ethernet. By doing this, you'll be initiating the booting process in such a way that the image will begin its installation. You can 'Pxi Boot' a system by going into the boot menu while the device is starting up, and selecting the Ethernet option. The actual process of this may be more complicated, and you can get more insight into it *here*. (Possibly hyperlink to another article if existing, if not then write a short section on it here.)

Step Three; Coming to the end now, the final step in your process will be to store the image you've just used in the UnRAID Server, for future usage and documentation. This can be done by first logging into the UnRAID server and then navigating your way to

Once you are prompted with a menu, select 'Full Host Registration'

Hostname: Dev_Logan

logging into the Fog server (http://10.21.25.29/fog) and selecting the 'Hosts' tab. Search this list of servers for 'dev_logan', as this is the server we're going to be backing up. Select the 'Capture' option on 'dev_logan', and once completed, the next time that Logan is PXI booted through ethernet it'll be automatically pulled and backed up.

Step Two; Once this request to pull the image from Logan has gone through, the next step is to boot into Logan to perform the backup. Head to https://10.21.25.8/ui/#/login and logon to the ESXi device. Once completed, you're going to find Logan again and select it. Before booting into the device, make sure to head into the 'Actions' tab near the top and choose to Edit settings. On the first tab, the Virtual Hardware, make sure that the ability to connect with the NIC is available; as this is how we'll be PXI booting. Then, head into the VM settings and expand the 'Boot Options' category. Scroll for just a moment and select the option to force the device to boot into BIOS.

Step Three; When ready

Step Two; Once the request has been sent over and has gone through, you'll need to pull the image from the Fog server onto Logan. This can be done by 'Pxi Booting', as in, taking it off of the network by booting from Ethernet. By doing this, you'll be initiating the booting process in such a way that the image will begin its installation. You can 'Pxi Boot' a system by going into the boot menu while the device is starting up, and selecting the Ethernet option. The actual process of this may be more complicated, and you can get more insight into it *here*. (Possibly hyperlink to another article if existing, if not then write a short section on it here.)

Step Three; Coming to the end now, the final step in your process will be to store the image you've just used in the UnRAID Server, for future usage and documentation. This can be done by first logging into the UnRAID server and then navigating your way to

Step Four; Verify full system functionality as any good technician in 24PinTech should, and then your task should be complete.

==How to back up (Odin 10.21.25.3) manually==
This is how manual backups are done to an external drive kept in chamberlains desk. Get the external drive labelled "server backups" from the middle drawer on the left of chamberlains desk. Take the drive into the back room and remove the guard on the server labelled Valhalla and plug the drive into the right usb port. On a computer in the classroom use chrome and type "10.21.25.2" into the address bar. The log in for esxi is the same for your log in for class. Go to virtual machines and click on "Odin" click on "Edit" and click on "Add other device" and then "USB device" select Western Digital My Passport 25E2. Press save and click on the window of the virtual machine to be taken to Odins desktop. Click on "Actions" and then "Guest OS" "Send Keys" and "ctrl-alt-del" and log in using your profile in class. Use the start menu and type "Windows Server Backup" open it. The Snap-in on the left has the option to to perform "Local Backup" the snap in on the right has an option to backup select it and go through the menu that pops up and select the following options "Backup Once, Different options, Full server, local drive select "my passport" and hit backup. After backup is finished go back to 10.21.25.2 and click on Odin then "Edit" and press the small x next to the hard drive. Put the hard drive in chamberlains desk when you are finished.

To do a weekly automatic backup follow this guide [https://www.ubackup.com/windows-server/windows-server-backup-once-a-week-6988.html here] . Alternatively there is an easer way doing it through command prompt The following command will create a Task Scheduler task named '''''WeeklySystemStateBackup''''' that runs every Saturday ( '''''SAT''''' ) at '''''19:00.''''' This task will run ''WEEKLY'' with the ''HIGHEST'' privileges. It will run the Windows Server Backup CLI to backup ''SYSTEMSTATEBACKUP'' to target volume '''''I:'''. (of course these variables are interchangeable to the users liking)'' ([https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/storage-at-microsoft/customizing-windows-server-backup-schedule/ba-p/423808 Source])

This can also be ran manually via the task scheduler.

==Restore Windows Server Backup on ESXi==

*Attach the storage device with the backups saved to the ESXi machine and attach the storage device to the VM you are trying to restore to
*Reboot the computer into the ISO of Windows Server 2019 Installation and instead of installing go to repair this computer
*From the Windows Repair Tool go to advanced options and go into system restore
*Follow the prompts and choose the backup from the device you are trying to restore to

==How to back up Logan_Web (10.21.25.11) Manually==
Step One; The first and most essential step to backing up Logan_Web onto the Fog server is to register it to the Fog server itself, in order to be able to perform the process. If not already completed, this can be performed by doing a full host registration. Begin this by logging into the Fog server (http://10.21.25.29/fog) and selecting the 'Images' tab. Create a new image, and name it accordingly to what is required. Once completed, you're going to find Logan and select it. Before booting into the device, make sure to head into the 'Actions' tab near the top and choose to Edit settings. On the first tab, the Virtual Hardware, make sure that the ability to connect with the NIC is available; as this is how we'll be PXI booting.
