The rereleased patch seems to have cured my borked outlook on my own home PC (and hope that I've caught it at time as I approved the now borked update last night before I left due to the critical nature so released the fixed one now!)

Thanks for all the likes on it appreciate it However here is a cheeky bump to get it spotted on here as its currently in 2nd place, votes close midnight on Monday. Yep @elsiegee40 found the prizes, they would be very helpful just before Christmas and as I use that agent for my place in London I know they re-use the photo that is the winner in quite a lot of PR stuff they do in the area for the next year so would be nice to see that photo shown around the area where I live

That is the best way in the HP stuff on it you have loads of HP tools it will tell you more in that no doubt and shows status of components etc... Also did you do the Firmware when you got it and install it using Intelligent Provisioning to ensure it has the right drivers?

Offline files are a nightmare and can get so badly lost and corrupted if the end user doesn't keep an eye on the sync centre frequently and check they really are working as expected.

Do they have IT staff on-site or are you and your team it? If so why not just do one domain in one forest with Sites and Services to give it the intelligence for things that are site based like the DCs, DFS etc... No need to make things more complicated unless they really do need to be. You can have them in separate OUs and delegate to them the bits they need if they have an "IT helper" or something and you can block your GPO inheritance on the OUs for them and make the own etc..

Sometimes the switch just won't auto-detect speed so try forcing it to 100 full and see if that helps, I know my Laptop didn't want to play ball with a switch at a conference venue the other week so I forced it to 100 full and it was fine then. The newest firmware may have a bug in it, annoying but perfectly possible.

Hyper-V Dynamic memory. Release memory for other machines?
john replied to DCUK6's topic in Windows Server 2012
One thing we've found with Dynamic memory is that it can also give some random performance on VMs, admittedly our VMs are used for limited use and testing stuff as our main infrastructure is on VMware but we've actually started putting machines to fixed memory allocations rather than Dynamic due to this as some of them can run like a bag of spanners from it and require a restart to get back to how they should be. Not had time to dig into if something is wrong but most VMs are 2012 R2 on 2012 R2 Hyper V role so its certainly not an old OS "bug" or "feature", the host is a bit old a G6 HP Server but its got a load of resource so seems puzzling it used to be ok till recent times as well... -
