yer, I was going to try a test first, just wondered if anyone had had any experience!

Hi Guys - Its been a while since i visited!! So, I'm getting so fed up with Server 2016 being so rubbish with Windows Updates that I was looking at maybe doing a few in-place upgrades to 2019 (yes, this is supported!) I've done a couple of minor servers so far and its gone well without any issues. However, I've got a Server 2016 server running SQL 2016 now that I would love to upgrade but, obviously with SQL involved, I'm a little nervous. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience of doing this and if there are any issues? Its a VMWare server so if nothing else, I'll just snapshot it and roll back if needed but I thought I'd ask the question! Thanks!

Hi Guys I'm looking for any advice/reviews/comments etc from anyone who has used any VMWare capacity planning tools? I'm seeing loads of things on the market but i have no idea which would be suitable and can't seem to find many reviews? Anyone used any or have any comments? cheers

Does the port into which the non-working phone is plugged, work? Ie, is there a connection between the wall socket and the patch panel?

Yer, these days I doubt it would power-up at all without a CPU. Back in "the old days" you would have probably found that the power supply would have run as they were "stupid" but they tend to have some intelligence in them these days! it does beg the question "Why"?

fair enough - its the replication bit that's always caused me pain!

Cheers guys! I've had a play with sconfig and yes, i think it will improve things a little!

I'm guessing you are looking for something more intelligent than me saying "eBay"?

I used to use these guys. Not the greatest to deal with but always used to fix the issue. I used to drop off at their offices and pick up again to avoid delivery costs as I live fairly nearby!

I don't think you can do it any more. I assume you wanted a slightly more technical answer than just delete the rest of the thread when forwarding?

Unfortunately thats the highest amount we are currently able to fine. I assume the money goes to the ICO? What do they do with it?

not sure if it helps but i found this: https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/uk/en/ukbsdt1/poweredge-vrtx/cmcvrtx_ug_2.0-v1/resetting-components?guid=guid-162d0442-57f7-41d3-bda3-6a980d47b407&lang=en-us

DFS Kill it with Fire! I hate DFS with a passion. I've used it windows Svr2003 and it's still just as bad as it was then! My advice - get rid of it!

Firstly, many apologies if this has been covered here already - I tried searching but didn't find much It's the simple questions that keep me awake at night! Why is it that Windows updates on Server 2012 were easy, quick and efficient whereas, on Server 2016, even small updates seem to take hours to install? The new style Updates interface is rubbish and the whole experience is aweful! There are literally hundred of threads all over the internet with people complaining about this but MS seem to just ignore it! I manage a rapidly growing large number of Svr2016 servers and I dread having to update them. A good number of them don't have a WSUS policy applying to them for various operational reasons and it takes hours to update them! Grrrrrr:mad:

Weird! not something I've come across with Windows 10 and Ruckus - having said that, Windows 10 never stops surprising me! Is it a certain build of Win10?
