Migrating from Samba DC to Windows DC

Hello, No idea if this is the right forum to post in, but I have been given the task of integrating a new Windows Infrastructure into what was essentially a budget domain build. The research lab currently has a Raspberry Pi running Samba DC 4.1.7. The Pi is acting as DC, DNS, and DHCP. The lab has r...

Re: FreeNAS on Mac Pro 5,1 (mid-2012)

Unless I am missing the something, I don't believe there is a way to change Mac hardware to boot via BIOS instead of EFI, which seemed to have been the fix for that link.

Re: iMac issues with failed Boot Camp install

I think you are right, and I would love to do a full format/reinstall.  However, I can't seem to interact with either of the partitions (MacHDD or MacHDD2).

Even if I boot from the USB, I can't seem to delete or extend either of the partitions.

Re: iMac issues with failed Boot Camp install

I created a Sierra boot USB with DiskmakerX, booted to it, but had limited access to the BootCamp partition.  The only thing I was able to do was to erase it and repartition that as a Mac OS Journaled Extended partition.  I thought that this would make it available to merge back into my main HD.  Ho...

I tried booting to the recovery partition and nuking the failed windows partition, but it wouldn't let me interact with it.  All buttons were grey.  I will try the USB boot and give it a go.

iMac issues with failed Boot Camp install

Howdy, I have a fairly nice iMac 27" circa 2014 with a 1 TB fusion drive.  While doing a standard Boot Camp install (via USB drive, I had already partitioned the drive 512 GB Mac, 512 GB Windows), it froze up during install.  It eventually restarted, but when it did, it told me I couldn't insta...

Re: Advice on Low Profile CPU Cooler

Nothing really wrong with the stock Intel, I have just noticed that it has a bit of trouble keeping the CPU cool in that enclosure. It is also a lot louder than what I am looking for (this is sort of a HTPC).
