Office culture nuances… I enjoy them.
Husband, Father, IT Pro, service.
I ask a lot of questions to try to understand how people think.

I worked for a company where the previous IT dorks named the servers after startrek ships. It’s cute at home. Had to rename everything and readdress the whole organization.
Just make sure it’s HBA mode and it’ll be fine. Sometimes called IT mode.
Google IBM m1015 hba, there’s a ton on eBay for no money. It used to be TrueNAS go to. There’s newer HBAs that are faster, but I don’t think it will matter for you
If you do TN, you MUST read the manual and look at their ZFS intro guide. Trust me.
TrueNAS is a propose built solution.
You’ll need to use it the way it’s designed, which is extremely capable, but reading the manual is mandatory or you’ll do it wrong and then it will suck. I know this.
There’s TN Core, and Scale. Ones based on FreeBSD, one’s Linux. You can compare for your needs.
TN can be an enterprise solution if that tells you the capability.
Edit, it’s meant to be a storage solution. Scale adds containers. It’s not great IMO as a general purpose server OS .
Unless you are forced to use the same network interface, always use dedicated NIC, vLAN when possible.
Like others mentioned, if the VM is on a hypervisor where you can use that to present the disk, you should try that.
Examples would be NAS box with two interfaces, use second one for iscsi. Connect that to switch with different vlan. Connect something like proxmox second nic to iscsi vlan. Add remote disk in proxmox from iscsi nas. Add disk to VM.
This idea spans all different tech.
Have you confirmed you’re not breaking corporate user policy?
Everyone has mentioned Outlook.
Also, 2FA is standard now, like eating ass.
Yeah, large portions of economies are being driven by consumption. I feel like so much stuff is just landfill fodder.
Massive affects of advertising
I was hoping you might have some examples, I’m not sure.
I have the old school utm 9, which was self managed. Now it’s a cloud managed. I haven’t used new cloud portal, sorry.
They still have free home use last I checked. I really like nfr, ce, home use companies.
Sometimes it’s for career progression or familiarity.
Just for SSO, might be easier ways, sure.
I think I’m the most ridiculous, but for the same career reasons as the rest:
Active directory, yes, plus: Azure cloud sync with entra active directory Hybrid exchange on prem and office/exchange online.
For better or worse, large enterprise isn’t going away from M$.
Also, I have transparent proxy sophos IPS, security Onion IDS, Trellix ePO, and other security products all being integrated for info security testing.
Not suggesting this is normal, just my test/dev playground I don’t have to worry about breaking.
All the descriptions are right and techniques. Microsoft sometimes refers to this is split-brain and their documentation.
Organizations that choose not to do that use an active directory specific subdomain like some of the other comments mentioned. Example: adds. Company.tld.
Computer1.adds.company.tld. Dc1.adds.cimoany.tld.
Others doing split domain are
Adds.company.internal
Also the cornerstone of enterprise, for better or worse at the moment.
What about virtualizing windows?
Only thing I know of is hyperv, but it’s not widely used I don’t think and MS is pushing azure $tack right?
Do hit the TrueNas forums. It’s very important if you’re not a ZFS pro.
I had to learn quite a bit before I got my setup right.
The FreeBSD people can be… abrasive at times, let it roll off your back if they are. TN is one of my favorites.
contract “options” are indeed normal. You could also lump in government contracts into the category your thinking about. I’ve never heard of a scenario where the vendor broke contract by not honoring the options. I also have never dealt with a vendor getting bought out and then not honoring existing contracts. Super fun to watch the corporate drama. I personally don’t care for the private equity style business that seems to be an even bigger problem than the investor first/profit centric model that I thought was the worst thing.
