    Avoid Samsung 980 and 990 with Windows Server

    Interesting problem, got me intrigued a bit. I bought 980 pro few months ago, and no issues at all under Windows 2022. It's not boot disk, it has latest firmware, and it's in consumer motherboard with AMD CPU.

    Qotom Denverton fanless system with 4 SFP+

    In some of the previous posts, someone mentioned that this unit will not work with DDR4 3200MHz. Just to share my experience with this. I got my unit couple of weeks ago, bought 2 sticks, 32GB 3200MHz Kingston Value RAM. Of course it didn't boot, even after waiting for few minutes. I hear beep...

    Does anyone know what's the name for the SATA power connector on the MB of this mini PC? From what I can see on pictures and searching on the internet, looks like it's PH 2. Can anyone confirm this?

    If I remember correctly, NSSM will do the trick. non-sucking service manager or something like that. You can create, delete service, and start and stop of course

    Truenas Home Share with AD users

    You can't do it from Windows. But it's not something you do all the time, you create shares you need and you don't touch them, it's not something you create, remove, recreate all the time. If you really want shares on Windows, create iSCSI on Truenas, mount it in Windows, then create shares.

    I may get a few Atom Rangeley or Denverton appliances. I believe these devices may be good for Docker, but how do you install them baremetal?

    Kubernetes is orchestration for docker containers and Rancher OS is stripped down, sorr of specialized version of Linux for orchestration of containers. Either way I recommend that you start with some Linux distribution and docker. This is basic to learn. All this being said, I never tried...

    I may get a few Atom Rangeley or Denverton appliances. I believe these devices may be good for Docker, but how do you install them baremetal?

    You need full blown OS. Try with Ubuntu, install docker. There is no web ui by default. For this you can install docker container called portainer. It has web ui and everything you need to configure and run other docker containers.

    Simple Hyper-V Failover cluster

    Hm, Azure site recovery, didn't even crossed my mind. And I agree for scripting. It should be fairly easy to do this.

    Simple Hyper-V Failover cluster

    Either ise Starwind or Windows Datacenter edition and S2D. There is Hyper-V replica, just replicates VMs from one host to another but there is no automatic failover, it must be done manually.
