DBAN tends to be a favourite but to do the job properly it will take time so it's hard to say whether ERD Disk Wipe is any better or worse. If ghost alters every single block/sector then it should be fine if every single one is touched but I can't imagine from a 'normal' (read: not your requirement) use this would be desired (for performance reasons) if it didn't /need/ to happen. I personally would prefer to run disks through something like DBAN to 'sign' the disk as clean before doing anything else with it, but that's just the paranoia in me.

May or may not be relevant but: https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter/Help/FAQDetails.aspx?id=183#235 We recently had a customer with this problem, a quick call to MS put it right.

Sophos here too, installed it yonks ago and forgot about it. Not infected any Windows users to my knowledge

Been a long time since I looked after SIMS system but there's the command line reporting tool. Have a look at - http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/45448-sims-command-reporter.html Hope it helps give you a pointer at least.

Wherever http://intranet points to on your webserver (/var/www/html or something) create an index.html You could probably do it with htaccess too but the above is cheap and easy.

I'd say it's a very good price looking at the raw hardware. (One thing I didn't see in your message was whether you had budgeted for it to be the HA model?) I wouldn't worry about the brand name too much; it seems they have a long list of impressive 'client relationships' (I'd look to qualify whether that means customer or friend). It's ZFS based so you'll benefit from all the goodness that brings to the party, the chunk of RAM will help with the ARC (read cache) and the SSDs will help with the read (L2ARC)/write cache (ZIL). More info explaining that - ZFS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The disks will be 7.2k RPM so by themselves won't deliver blistering performance but ZFS will help with that considerably. Before we go much further I'd like to understand your needs a little better... The files you're working with: 1) How big are they? (and how many are in use concurrently) 2) How many IOPs do you need to meet your demands (this is a capacity planning exercise, if you've not done it, do it before you buy anything!) 3) Have you established the ratio between read/write in your current environment? Sorry for the questions, keen to understand your needs more to see whether you need to take anything else into consideration.

Hi, Be careful with just deleting them, the registry holds a record of them too. You may want to look at a tool like Delprof2 - https://helgeklein.com/free-tools/delprof2-user-profile-deletion-tool/

Normally it's from within the utility exposed during boot or from a floppy image or some server vendors bundle it in with their other firmware updates. What model controller and server?

Sounds like your NAS has lost touch with the domain so isn't able to authenticate the user. Forget the script for a little while and try and map the drive yourself and see if it also prompts for the credentials.

Sounds like they're going for the blanket approach of "send us all of your zone files and we'll figure out from that what records in there point to legacy/old services that need amending or creating to support the Office 365 setup" I can half understand it if they're trying to check all angles but it's worded very badly indeed.

Yes, it is possible. Can backup files from v7 be imported to v6.5? | view topic (confirms a backup from older version will be fine in v7, but not the other way)

Good news. Looks like they changed their mind on this and made it public - Windows Server Technical Preview | TechNet Evaluation Center

Hi Matthew, If I was building a system like this I would have a pair of dedicasted iSCSI nic's (at least) split over a pair of resilient switches so you can survive a switch failure. The MD3220i should have ports on each controller connected to each switch so it too can survive a switch/nic failure. -- If you don't have a resilient switch configuration in place for this it's less relevant I suppose. Given the choice; in your case looking at the size of the boxes and future expansion potential I would buy another network card and run 1x iSCSI from each card (so you can survive nic failure) using MPIO (not teamed) and then have a dedicated management network (I'd team a port from each physical nic onto this) and then that leaves you 4 ports for the main LAN connection (again, split over the two physical NICs for resilience). If you're pushed for ports you could merge the management network into the LAN network (VLAN separate them); and if pushed further you could VLAN the Mgmt, LAN, and iSCSI networks on top of the same physical links but you may have hassles with this with iSCSI residing on top of the team being discouraged in best practice (how much you'd notice on a small system like this is up for debate though). In either case, I can't imagine you'd flatten the network links with just the two hosts talking to the SAN so whichever way you go should be fine. Couple of iSCSI specific bits; make sure you have the multipath i/o feature installed & make sure your iSCSI VLAN supports Jumbo Frames you'll probably want to evaluate their use in your environment. (some people say to use them, some say don't ; MS best practice says to use them) Worth a read - Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Best Practices (In Easy Checklist Form) - Ask Premier Field Engineering (PFE) Platforms - Site Home - TechNet Blogs (PS; I'm more of a VMware guy so my knowledge here is largely field/crowd sourced)

Have you ruled out the firewall by testing internally?

(No experience on doing this with Office 2013, but..) I've seen similar where the Appdata\Local folder is lost (either by moving to another computer or by the cached profile being removed from the PC prior to the user logging back on) Worth checking if you log on as a user, set it up etc, log off and then view the computer c:\users remotely to see if the user's cached profile is gone (in effect making it as though they'd moved to another computer/never logged on). If you find the cached profile vanishes from c:\users that is possibly why you're seeing it happen even when you don't move machine. Try disabling a GPO that deletes cached profiles just on that PC temporarily to see if that improves things. I vaguely recall we wrote a script in the end to copy Appdata\Local\whateverOutlook around too but that was a long time ago! Hope it gives you a bit of a direction to look in.

There was an old thread for similar though it required user involvement. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/office-software/49710-disable-screensaver-whilst-playing-slideshows-powerpoint-2010-a.html

Can you create a snapshot manually bypassing Veeam trying to do it? Which version of Veeam, and which version of vCenter + ESXi?

Will it allow you to print in mono mode to bypass the colour ink?

Yeah, the Ireland servers are new, announced them at vForum a couple of weeks ago.

I have one of these (paid much more for it), it's a fantastic bit of kit.

Yep, you could run wireshark on the WDS box and compare the traffic from when the VMware client PXE's and when the physical client does.

OK cool, so DHCP is the common here outside of both of your physical client and VMware environment that's good. Can we confirm conclusively that your VMware PXE client receives the same IP range, netmask, etc as the physical client? Also, is your physical client plugging into the same network port configuration as your VMware one? (same VLAN, same switch, etc)

That's why I'm trying to ascertain whether your DHCP server that the physical client is receiving information from is receiving the same information it would have done from the VMware client. If you're certain that the DHCP server, subnet, and DHCP options are identical in both circumstances I wonder if it's having a different problem. Is your WDS server also the DHCP one or is that a separate machine?

Do you see a DHCP lease be issued for your physical client properly? (on the same DHCP server that issues your vmware pxe client)

Is your real client using the same DHCP server & network subnet(broadcast address) to that of your client / server within the VMware setup?
