| guideX | is the windows server backup good? |
| naphtali | Define "good" |
| naphtali | It works in the proper environment |
| guideX | will restore the whole machine easily, and properly upon request |
| guideX | hmm ok |
| naphtali | Properly, yes. Easily, yes, but not as easily as other solutions |
| guideX | ah ok |
| naphtali | What are the other parameters for choosing a backup solution? |
| guideX | reliable, easy, cheap |
| guideX | can backup whole machines |
| naphtali | i.e. cost, RTO/RPO, etc |
| guideX | one thing, I'm not sure if it's the correct place to preform backups, seeing it's a hyperv machine |
| guideX | and that has some backup functionality as well |
| naphtali | How many VMs are you backing up? |
| guideX | our hyperv only has two vm's at the moment, we have a bunch of other vm's on other vm software |
| guideX | those vm's on the other software has a builtin way to backup |
| naphtali | Altaro backup is free for 2 VMs |
| naphtali | It is excellent software |
| guideX | oic |
| naphtali | You should at least evaluate it |
| guideX | cool i'll check it out |
| naphtali | What OS is your Hyper-V host? |
| qbrix | lol wat |
| naphtali | 2008 R2, 2012, etc |
| naphtali | oh, that was qbrix |
| naphtali | Not sure what he was responding to |
| qbrix | oh |
| qbrix | shoulda said what OS version |
| qbrix | SHEESH |
| naphtali | oh yeah |
| naphtali | He knew what I meant |
| guideX | naphtali: server 2008r2 |
| naphtali | ACTION drops a Mitel PBX on qbrix |
| naphtali | err wait, ShoreTel |
| naphtali | Same place I think now |
| naphtali | guideX: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/6f77d295-b0b3-4517-94b0-a655a796ddda/using-windows-server-backup-to-backup-vms?forum=winserverhyperv |
| naphtali | I was trying to find some of the limitations of Windows Backup |
| naphtali | Read the BrianEh posts |
| guideX | oh hrm, this isn't an issue so far, I used a unc path |
| guideX | mapped drives are fine, but idk unc path is quicker |
| naphtali | No, this part: "Windows Server backup does not allow you to backup an individual VM as a VM. You backup volumes and restore the entire hypervisor and / or the volumes." |
| guideX | oh hrm I see |
| guideX | I am using the windows backup on the vm |
| guideX | but yeah I see what you mean |
| guideX | I wonder if you can (or should) use ps or batch to create a snapshot on the vm, do the backup procedure, and then compress/tarball the vm backup, then sftp to another machine (i've done this with esx before) |
| guideX | probably on the hyperv side, better to not make custom scripts to do your backups |
| naphtali | I want an application I can manage from a webpage that will backup/monitor many VMs across many clients |
| naphtali | Your needs differ |
| qbrix | s/needs/budget |
| ewong | hi.. a working 2008r2 system bsod'd with a stop 0xf4.. going into recovery mode's command prompt.. I noticed C: is empty.. D: is the data drive.. and E: is the system drive.. is this 'normal'? |
| Stryyker | recovery mode may use different driver letters |
| Stryyker | http://www.freenode-windows.org/resources/all-windows-versions/troubleshooting-bsod |
| ewong | ahh.. totally confused me there.. thought something went crazy |
| jcotton | and X: is always a ramdisk |
| jcotton | (unless you change it for some reason) |
| Stryyker | https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/bug-check-0xf4--critical-object-termination |
| Stryyker | Well, a recovery environment may be used on a system that has multiple installs too. Each OS thinks it is C. Drive letters are specific to the install. |
| ewong | now I"m checking the memory.. I'm unsure what happened as I was remoting into this machine just last night ;/ |
| ewong | Stryyker: thanks for the troubleshooting bsod link. |
| ewong | I'm wondering if it's an update or something |
| naphtali | ewong is this a VM or physical? |
| ewong | naphtali: physical |
| naphtali | Do you have any dumps? |
| ewong | naphtali: I think I do. just need to get to the cmd |
| ewong | and now.. it's gone black.. during memory test.. so dunno if I need to reboot it or what |
| naphtali | What kind of disk subsystem? |
| ewong | naphtali: as in SAN et. al? none.. was hoping to do something about that but just too swamped at work |
| naphtali | So DAS with some kind of RAID controller? |
| ewong | naphtali: just DAS.. no raid. |
| naphtali | <gulp> |
| ewong | yeah.. Iknow ;/ |
| naphtali | My vote is failing HDD |
| ewong | oh yay |
| ewong | I'm guessing I shouldn't really trust the SMART thing |
| naphtali | SMART can only catch somethings |
| naphtali | As you know, all drives will eventually fail. You just need to decide what kind of plan you will have in place when that day arrives |
| ewong | I'm finding harddisks.. regardless of which colour, seem to last a lot shorter than previous models |
| jcotton | I'm going to say rose-colored glasses |
| naphtali | ewong, I have no empirical data but seat of my pants from using drives since I was a young lad with my C64, I would disagree with your statement |
| naphtali | Drive space is too cheap and backups are too easy to worry about trying to find a "longer lasting drive" |
| ewong | true. at least this system isn't that critical |
| ewong | live and learn I guess |
| ewong | kinda confused.. when I load system restore.. and cmd, the system (C:) drive is now E:. (established the fact that system restore doesn't use the 'correct' drive names).. but when I reboot and go to repair.. it can't find E:.. |
| Stryyker | reboot to what? |
| ewong | normally it'd show at least "C:\WINDOWS" (or something) in the list |
| ewong | reboot to the installation disk |
| ewong | repair system.. |
| ewong | now if I needed to load drivers to see the E:.. wouldn't system restore cmd not see E: then? |
| Stryyker | I don't know what you see, I don't know all your hardware etc. |
| naphtali | E: is your external media with the backups? |
| ewong | naphtali: no.. internal |
| ewong | in any event, I think one of the sata ports is bad. so I moved the cables to different ports and it's now back up.. |
| ewong | but I think it's time to move this to a new system |
| qbrix | s/a new system/the cloud/ |
| ewong | qbrix: I hear you.. but not entirely sure I trust the cloud with my data. |
| qbrix | you trust your skills/budget more?? |

| jcotton | heh |
| jcotton | just checked, no update for my mobo yet |
| ewong | and now, it's back down.. |
| jcotton | with the non-buggy microcode that is |
| naphtali | Dell released one for my work laptop |
| naphtali | I installed it earlier today |
| naphtali | A client of mine got a threaten letter from Wells Fargo asking if their systems were protected from Meltdown/Spectre and/or what actions were being taken |
| naphtali | My reply of "responsible admins are waiting to see what will happen" did not go over well |
| Poster | Maybe just have a preemptive outage for few days |
| naphtali | heh, that would get attention |
| Poster | yeah just schedule a reboot every few minutes "we're running the latest patches from Intel" |
| ewong | naphtali: yup.. you're right.. HD is on the fritz ;/ |
| ewong | getting a crap ton of file record segment is unreadable during chkdsk |
| naphtali | Do you have good backups? |
| naphtali | Don't say anything unless the answer is Yes |
| ewong | ... |
| naphtali | I am putting qbrix on a plane to come and re-educate you |
| ewong | naphtali: thanks for the help though... very much appreciated.. it is indeed a hdd failure.. but it's mainly a pebcak issue ;/ |

| sirbondness | Heya together, does anyone got a clue how to make the Startmenu uner windows 10 with roaming profile reliable offline available ? at the moment our clients got offline a differetn startmenu than online (connection to domain Controller and Roaming Profile Storage) |
| sirbondness | GPOs are set and the tiledatabase is included in the roaming but still it looks like Windows doesnt use the roamed tile database but i cant find what the issue is |
| sirbondness | (sry for the typos, its freaking early) :) |
| georgios | is it possible to have soft-raid with win server 2016? block level / fs level |
| furmelade | ye, storage spaces |
| georgios | 1st time i hear about them. so, is it two drives total for a mirror with refs? |
| furmelade | it has mirror/parity capabilitiew, although i heard the parity is slow |
| furmelade | 2 drives should be enough, but it obv works with more |
| georgios | i will try it in a vm. apparently it works with all win 10 versions and i have pro installed atm. |
| furmelade | you asked for server 2016 |
| furmelade | no idea about the client capabilities |
| georgios | yes, i just happen to have pro around to play. server is the intended target |
| georgios | not being able to boot from a storage pool / refs kindoff sucks |
| georgios | ACTION is used to btrfs |
| Harm133 | Hey guys, I can´t seem to get an external mailbox to cache its credentials properly.. Its on a domain PC. One mailbox from the domain, one external. The external one just doesn´t want to save the credentials in between login cycles.. Ideas? |
| eagles0513876 | hey all I have a group policy and I need to add my pc to this policy as its for testing purposes yet when i try to add my machine name which is in AD it is not able to add it can someone kindly advise. server is 2012 r2 |
| eagles0513876 | hey guys im on server 2012 r2 and I want to add the pc im on to a testing GPO how do I add the pc. I have it in AD with the name, but for some reason it is not able to find it so it can be added to the GPO. |
| sirbondness | in the search windows you need to add Computers in objecttyp |
| sirbondness | search window |
| eagles0513876 | hey all i have a question i am seeing passwords exposed very easily through chrome and easily through credential manager on windows is there something that i can do to hide the exposure of passwords? I was told this could be managed through GPO. where in GPO do i need to be looking? |
| eagles0513876 | is it a computer policy or user policy |
| flying_sausages | Hey guys, I'm trying to basically implement this but I am a little lost. |
| flying_sausages | http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#ExtensionInstallForcelist |
| flying_sausages | I already have a user, an OU and a linked group policy created to test this |
| flying_sausages | but When I'm in the gpo management editor I do not know where to apply this |
| sirbondness | did you import the ADMX ? |
| sirbondness | https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-templates |
| eagles0513876 | question |
| eagles0513876 | re GPO's |
| eagles0513876 | i have some GPO's that im testing if I have the authorized users in the list my concern is that these would be rolled out to all pc's when I actually wante them only rolled out to my laptop which I have added to the list of machines for the GPO. |
| eagles0513876 | Do I need to remove the authorized users? and link to my domain the GPO |
| sirbondness | depends if it is only computer policies...if there are also USer based policies you need to remove authorized users and only add your user account |
| sirbondness | and of course bound the policies to your PC OU and/or User OU |
| eagles0513876 | sirbondness: in this case it is i believe one is a test policy for an interactive message that you read one of those this pc is for authorized users only |
| eagles0513876 | the other then i am wanting to test that when idle the pc logs out. |
| eagles0513876 | sirbondness: are the two things that i am saying computer policies? also on authorized users could i disable on those policies from being applied to authorized users |
| sirbondness | well it depneds where you configured it...i would need to check but some policies can be configured in both computer and user part...but if you configured it in the computer part you can leave autorised users in there and only allow it for your PC |
| eagles0513876 | sirbondness: regardless i googled and saw there is a way where you can say to use the GPO on that group or not if i am not mistaken no |
| sirbondness | true but i dont know your infrastructure...if you have your PC and your USer in one OU and you only bound this policy to this OU you can leave it as it is...if you have your PC and user accounts in the OU where all the other clients and USers in...you should restrict it otherwise it will be applied on all |
| eagles0513876 | sirbondness: we have the default 2012 GPO |
| sirbondness | with default you mean the default domain policy ? or what dou you mean with default ? |
| eagles0513876 | ya sorry default domain policy |
| eagles0513876 | both my test policies are computer configs |
| sirbondness | uh...dont test settings in the default domain policy |
| sirbondness | ah ok |
| CptLuxx | lol |
| eagles0513876 | im not |
| sirbondness | so its fine if you bound the policies to the OU of the PCs and restrict it to your PC Name |
| sirbondness | you can leave authorised users in there |
| sirbondness | was getting nervous for a second :D |
| sirbondness | as default domain policy was called :P |
| eagles0513876 | no no that is what we are using but with GDPR here in europe i need to use the non default gpo's to lock down some things |
| eagles0513876 | thanks sirbondness |
| eagles0513876 | then sirbondness i can do gpupdate /force to have my pc take the gpo's |
| eagles0513876 | now lets say i want to test user configuration what can i do there. Can i disable gpo's being used by authorized users |
| sirbondness | yes gpupdate /force and reboot....most computer policies need a reboot |
| eagles0513876 | gotcha |
| sirbondness | user policies i would restrict to your user while testing |
| eagles0513876 | if i need to test user based gpo's can i switch off in the authorized user's group from running for all authorized users? |
| sirbondness | and remove authorised user |
| eagles0513876 | when i try to remove it a message comes up |
| sirbondness | what message ? |
| eagles0513876 | group policy requires each computer account to have permission to read GPO data from a domain controller in order for user group policy settings to be successfully applied. removing the authenticated users group may prevent processing of User group policies. please add the domain computers or the authenticated users security grou pwith at least read only permissions |
| eagles0513876 | that then also provides this link |
| eagles0513876 | https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3163622/ms16-072-security-update-for-group-policy-june-14--2016 |
| sirbondness | still, you can do it as said just add under delegation the authorised users as read only permission |
| eagles0513876 | cant figure out how to change permissions on that group or even where to find it |
| sirbondness | under delegation |
| eagles0513876 | ? |
| eagles0513876 | where ? |
| eagles0513876 | found it but what exactly do i need to change the settings to? |
| sirbondness | authorised users / read only |
| eagles0513876 | i dont have that option |
| eagles0513876 | i have read (from security filtering), edit settings |
| eagles0513876 | and edit settings, delete, modify security |
| sirbondness | on the right bottom you got advanced |
| eagles0513876 | ahh |
| sirbondness | make sure apply policy is NOT marked |
| eagles0513876 | its not :) |
| sirbondness | or denied |
| sirbondness | then you are set |
| eagles0513876 | ok perfect |
| eagles0513876 | so time to link them up and im good to go |
| sirbondness | yes |
| eagles0513876 | so authenticated users group |
| eagles0513876 | thats just for user gpo's |
| eagles0513876 | in computer based ones i need to add all the pc's for that policy |
| sirbondness | na you dont |
| sirbondness | you can bound the policy to the OU with all PCs in there and it will be applied to all |
| eagles0513876 | ahh ok :) |
| sirbondness | what we talked about now was only for testing purposes as you wanted to test it specificly on your device with your user |
| eagles0513876 | so I would need to move all the pc's from the default Computer container to an OU |
| eagles0513876 | sirbondness: i know just thinking and planning ahead. |
| sirbondness | it as several advantages to granulate your infratsructure with OUs |
| sirbondness | so i would suggest you to do so |
| eagles0513876 | ya I know and I will |
| sirbondness | but this is my personal opinion |
| eagles0513876 | i agree with you there. |
| eagles0513876 | having OU's would make it easy to keep GPO's organized on who they are for |
| sirbondness | excactly |
| eagles0513876 | sirbondness: thanks for the help :) had started testing something and put things on the back burner and only now coming back to them |
| sirbondness | you are welcome ;) |
| eagles0513876 | sirbondness: ill be back for sure hehe |
| sirbondness | :) |
| eagles0513876 | sirbondness: that was an easy test |
| eagles0513876 | that worked with out a reboot log out and back in |
| sirbondness | cool ;) all as expected ? |
| eagles0513876 | sirbondness: yes |
| eagles0513876 | sirbondness: when you right click on a GPO there is enforced |
| eagles0513876 | what does that mean |
| sirbondness | you only need it if you got two GPOs that are trying to modify the same setting |
| sirbondness | so you can enforce one of them to be applied |
| sirbondness | and ignore the other |
| eagles0513876 | sirbondness: would it be good to have multiple gpo's for each thing you want to control? |
| sirbondness | well, it depends...i am doing it like...for example to roll out a certificate to clients - GPO, set firewall settings - GPO...etc |
| sirbondness | and seperate them from user settings aswell |
| eagles0513875 | sirbondness, eagles0513876: is me btw :D |
| sirbondness | :D |
| CrtxReavr | Does Windows (RDP server) have any support for a per-user hosts file? |
| njbair | what would be a good way to get a visualization of server share permissions by folder & by user? do I have to make a table manually? |

| guideX | how do you secure your unsecured rdp ports, I disable the rdp functionality until needed, but sometimes I forget to disable, and hackers try to hit it overnight |
| guideX | vpn would be too hard to setup with the vendors |
| BobFrankly | guidex: are you using hypervisors, or setting up physical servers? |
| guideX | oh we have both here |
| guideX | there's some physical, and some running under virtual host |
| BobFrankly | so with hypervisors you setup an OS template that you clone off of. Disable RDP in the template, and every subsequent clone will be disabled |
| guideX | the firewall is pointing to one machine with rdp, so there's exactly one open hole |
| BobFrankly | with physical...(which I hardly touch anymore)....maybe unattended installs? |
| guideX | so we just disable it all the time, but my memory fails sometimes, and I leave it open |
| naph-W | Your vendors dictate connection methods? |
| BobFrankly | well, it's not a hole if it's properly secured, it's just attackable surface |
| guideX | naph-W: well, we could force them to use teamviewer, but then not every machine has teamviewer, rdp gives them broad access |
| guideX | we have a vendor or two who needs broad access |
| guideX | I could like, block the specific hacker ip's I guess |
| guideX | I was hoping for a better alternative :P |
| guideX | also it's not really the vendors forcing the connection method, it's my bnoss |
| guideX | boss |
| naph-W | Is the budget your normal amount? |
| guideX | I can spend some money if need be |
| BobFrankly | guidex: if you have a proper firewall, you hide the server behind it and only open the RDP port to your vendors' published IPs |
| guideX | hmm yeah that's a good option |
| BobFrankly | it's like that was the intended purpose of whitelisting |
| guideX | it's good and bad, the vendors at first will wonder why they can't connect, but they usually ask us first anyways so yeah that should work fine |
| naph-W | guideX, I picked up client using this and it seemed to work well. https://rdpguard.com/ |
| naph-W | But Bob's solution is simpler if the vendors have finite IPs |
| guideX | yeah should work fine, because usually something is wrong with something, they never just surf on to fix or maintain stuff.. so we can just ask them for the ip every time |
| Dus10 | I am working on an interesting solution to a potentially major "gap" in security for a very popular cloud service |
| naph-W | Facebook? |
| BobFrankly | and I am working to beat you to market |
| Dus10 | Facebook as a cloud service? |
| BobFrankly | ACTION makes it to the grocery store first and claims victory |
| Dus10 | I don't really consider it a service |
| Dus10 | it is just a website... |
| Dus10 | and a bad one at that |
| naph-W | It provides a service to people |
| Dus10 | no, people provide a service to it |
| Dus10 | they provide free content to Facebook for them to make a profit |
| Dus10 | no, the cloud service in question would be topical to the channel |
| naph-W | Topical? |
| Dus10 | "(of a subject) of immediate relevance, interest, or importance owing to its relation to current events." |
| naph-W | Oh right, qbrix has mentioned that |
| Dus10 | topical, as in "on topic" |
| Dus10 | not a cream or ointment |
| naph-W | So you are labeling it as a "gap" and not a security flaw |
| Dus10 | I using the term "gap" as broad term that could include a security flaw |
| naph-W | Technically adpet sites such as Yahoo will refer to it as a security flaw |
| Dus10 | It is aggrevating when customers keep delaying (and not my short timeframes) and then the moment that they are ready they want to blame you for delays because you are not as available as they would prefer |
| Dus10 | very difficult when you need to plan and remain billable consistently |
| Dus10 | We should just tell them if they want to block me out indefinitely, then they need to support my minimum revenue until they are ready |
| naph-W | I have clients like that. It's an emergency to fix the issue, but not an emergency paying the bill |
| Dus10 | They likely wouldn't be happy with that |
| naph-W | How did you discover this gap? |
| Dus10 | It is something that I speculated/hypothesized for over 6 months |
| Dus10 | we tested it this week |
| Dus10 | it works as I thought it would |
| Dus10 | there is some saving grace as it isn't exposed globally, but under circumstances that just about any malicious actor could position themselves for |
| CptLuxx | pfff |
| CptLuxx | sell that information |
| CptLuxx | oh wrong channel |
| naph-W | CDP coming to Altaro Luxxi |
| Snorty | If there is an EventID 2624 entry on a workstation for a domain account, will there always be the same entry on a domain controller? |
| Snorty | Event ID 4624* |
| CptLuxx | naph-W |
| CptLuxx | i see you get the same spam that i get |
| naph-W | Mine is HTML spam |
| naph-W | So it's better |
| BobFrankly | exactly, he thinks he's going to a legit site, but it's just an illusion |
| naph-W | Did you see my new PS command last night BobFrankly? |
| naph-W | I am a power user now |
| BobFrankly | lol, missed it |
| BobFrankly | did you pipe to select? |
| naph-W | https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/heyscriptingguy/2013/09/21/powertip-use-powershell-to-send-beep-to-console/ |
| BobFrankly | oh yeah, there's some scripts out there that do whole tunes |
| BobFrankly | you know that's invoking dotNet right? |
| naph-W | It's all magic. I don't look under the hood |
| kidn3ys | So, I'm planning on deploying 802.1x in the near future and our systems folks are having a hard time providing a list of general services that should be allowed to domain controllers. Is this a good start? https://isc.sans.edu/diary/Cyber+Security+Awareness+Month+-+Day+27+-+Active+Directory+Ports/7468 |
| kidn3ys | I realize this is entirely environment specific but i'm basically getting 'allow everything' from them. |
| naph-W | Kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it |
| naph-W | :-) |
| kidn3ys | I mean, no. They will still have to auth. |
| kidn3ys | I just like to understand what is required and then make exceptions from there. From what I can tell, the big 'unknown' seems to be RPC, but from the looks of it you can set it, at least to a specific range. |
| n0c | quick sanity check. using OCT to set a places bar location for windows 10 deployment for google drive |
| n0c | %userprofile% still works in wondows 10 correct? |

| naph-W | That is still a valid variable under Windows 10, yes |

| n0c | any clueful suggestions? |
| BobFrankly | beyond the obvious "dont do that"? Not really. MMC is ancient and MS is working on it's replacement |
| n0c | i keep renaming task sequences and am doing shift ctrl left arrow to highlight a few preceding words but mess up and hit alt instead. weird that it crashes mmc |
| n0c | good |
| n0c | sucks i'm still using it on a fresh server 2016 install. le sigh |
| BobFrankly | heh |
| CptLuxx | use fukuhila |
| BobFrankly | I think it's...project honolulu? |
| CptLuxx | or what the name was |
| CptLuxx | ah honolulul |
| n0c | lol |
| BobFrankly | it that out luxx? |
| furmelade | lmao good one CptLuxx |
| n0c | ACTION pops a Fukitol 25mg and get's back to work |
| CptLuxx | a beta at least |
| BobFrankly | so it might have similar worse issues at this point |
| CptLuxx | use both |
| BobFrankly | it's at least well enough along that MS is comfortable talking about it though |
| CptLuxx | and enjoy bugs from both worlds |
| BobFrankly | YAYZ! \o\ /o/ |
| n0c | this is just nutty with these c++ redists > https://puu.sh/zjyoJ/33f6203138.png |
| BobFrankly | yeah, no kidding |
| weq | 2017 replaces 2015. |
| n0c | orly |
| CptLuxx | yes |
| BobFrankly | it tries to, but some apps disagree |
| BobFrankly | some *poorly* coded ones to be sure, but they're essential around here sadly |
| n0c | screw it i only have two more to create in the TS |
| weq | some apps makers needs to learn not to static link towards specific files instead of using them like they arte supposed to be used. |
| CptLuxx | woah you expect to much from developers |
| BobFrankly | some app makers need to find employment in a field they actually enjoy and can progress in, instead of making shoddy apps |
| weq | why bother with doing this manually? you can script MDT to make this stuff. Or just script already made for this exact purpose. |
| weq | https://github.com/aaronparker/Install-VisualCRedistributables |
| BobFrankly | name fail there |
| weq | or just use scripts* |
| BobFrankly | should be Install-ALLTHEcRedists |
| weq | depends on your xml :P |
| CptLuxx | sounds complicated |
| BobFrankly | and your taste in memes :P |
| CptLuxx | just use a trained monkey |
| BobFrankly | CptLuxx: then you have to write scripts to clean up the botched installs and hire custodians to clean the keyboards |
| CptLuxx | thats good for the economy |
| n0c | i'mma have to check that out |
| n0c | i have them all in discrete directories and added applications for each (at least using powershell) |
| n0c | worth the work if it executes well every 6 months or so i build a new image |
| n0c | with win7 i was doing it pretty much monthly, definitely every other |
| jcotton | n0c: why completely rebuild it? |

| Jedicus | offtopic, but it's dead, so.. anyone ordered from memory.net before? they appear to be selling the exact same RAM sticks Dell/HP/Lenovo do. CPU-Z matches the Hynix chip |
| naphtali | Jedicus, I can't remember if I have ordered from them or not |
