  1. permissions on the deployment share that sounds like to me or a wrong/non-existant share being in a sequence, though if I was diagnosing, I would be going through it all, the sequences and the bootstrap.ini to see what was errant.
  2. http://www.amazon.co.uk/b/ref=pin15_gw_d_hero?_encoding=UTF8&node=6505293031&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=desktop-pinata-hero&pf_rd_r=12NHX151FFHZ3BF12B7J&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=654037167&pf_rd_i=desktop Lenovo Flex for £130
  3. Wondered where he was
  4. Was thinking earlier, while their at it, they can happily kill off Java/Shockwave/Air too
  5. Saw this on twitter last night funny enough. I think a lot more big companies need to get behind it and do this to pull the plug once and for all. That being said no doubt we would come across some magical software package that only works with that junk
  6. vba has always been a sticking point with office on the Mac, I upgraded mine and it's all fine, beats 2011 in the looks department too and I like the one drive integration now
  7. I know that Lilies are horrible for Cats and highly toxic, didnt know that though with peace lillies, my grandfather has a fair amount of them in the garden
  8. having walked the stairs at Russell Square by mistake on a friends stag weekend, ignoring the warning "lots of stairs" sign, the diagram is slightly wrong with the amount of stairs shown (it was like climbing a vertical mile) Nice site though
  9. The only thing with these petitions is why change.org and not HM Government e-petitions which is official and will force it to parliament.
  10. I would recommend hostpresto as I have been with them 4 years now, decent company in dealings I have had with them
  11. I am not a lover of stacked switches myself, we had Netgear GS724TS switches here and I had them stacked initially as it was relatively easy as they use a HDMI cable, but what I found was that pretty much any maintenance or upgrading of their firmwares requires you to break the stack and reboot the switches. Also if one of the switches in the stack crashes as we had happen, it takes out the entire set for you with no redundancy. Do you have both virtual switches on each server named the same ? Also do you have two sets of network adapters with the same IP ranges and gateways in the machine thats dropping the connection, windows caused issues with that with me before when that was the case.
  12. This full version downloadable with the office365 faculty setup now?
  13. That's why I'm very cautious of how I clean the screen on mine, so far it's microfibre cloth only and check my sons hands before he goes near it
  14. Dont be afraid to try a different cable too, I have had lots of Samsung devices given to me to look at lately and its been a broken cable for 4 of the 5 of them. Try a diff one that you know works and leave it plugged in if the battery has gone "Super Dead" on it.
  15. Doesnt look a bad program there, no subscription is a possible winner too
  16. From my PoV I found it better looking aesthetically, though before 2016 trial I didn't use outlook for my email here and it trumps iWork imo
  17. It is decent, not that 2011 was bad
  18. Remove Failover role from existing VMs and carry out an export of the VM from the host Transfer exports to non-clustered server and start up VMs on new host Check working Print/SuccessMaker/Exam boxes decamped to new host Site Test of VMs with end users Secure Multiple copies of exported vm backups to 2 x NAS devices Run 3 Main Services physical boxes from new host – Settings altered on them to 2GB Ram and 2 Cores, going to run essential services only Check Printing/SuccessMaker/Exam software working fine for Staff – Staff members tested printing Revoke Veeam licences from the two Hyper-V nodes, Backup Veeam Configurations to NAS Boxes Disconnect within windows and remove on the SAN all iSCSI host connections Carry out a Destroy Cluster and delete the objects from the AD Setup Quorum Disk on the raid Reconfigure SAN vDisks within management interface using Raid6 and larger LUN setup Reimage host machines to Datacentre 2012 R2 Rejoin Domain with both hosts Install Failover Clustering/Desktop Experience/Hyper-V Install and run HP Smart Update Manager Patch machines up with HP updates – Proliant Service Pack 1 Reboot the Machines Patch up machines to identical levels with windows updates. Rejoin iSCSI connections to host units Bring Online CSV/Quorum disks and format all to NTFS Reprogram IP ranges onto the network cards on the units Recreate Failover Cluster and Revalidate configuration Power down cluster and hosts Resegment Power Connections in the UPS in Server Room Reboot Cluster Nodes Test Failover on Cluster Export VMs off temporary host and copy onto the cluster Reimport VMs back onto the cluster Reinstall Veeam onto the hosts and re-licence Re-setup Veeam backups to NAS devices Thats the list that I worked too when I recently redid our cluster from scratch.
  19. I know I have made the right choice for me, I have been horribly burnt out in game for about 3 years, Guild management did that to me and I couldnt face raiding after my old raiding guild disbanded after our MT quit, I realised it was pretty miserable as you spend your online time dealing with members whines and breaking down boss fights to the simplest of terms for the less skilled people in your guilds, wipe nights are not fun nights. Now the game has gone too far in the other direction with the casualness, its harmed guilds and made them a little pointless. LFR made the game accessible in all fairness, but at the massive costs to the social side of the game. I feel great for uninstalling it, that was a first for me in the entire time since its been on a PC of mine and I actually don't miss playing it like I did last time, in fact the thought of it is horrifying
  20. Thats a horribly trend now in gaming, EA started the ball rolling with Zero Day DLC and I think its disgusting they release half content and force a few quid more out of you.
  21. I used to be like it in my youth wanting gadgets as they came out for no real reason, these days though its a case of "Why do I want it" and "Do I have something already which does that same function" so I rarely fork out for things. My only real luxury is my rMBP and my iPhone 6+ here these days technology wise, the phone has made the ipad mini I have a little redundant. I didnt get the Apple Watch based on that recently as I already have a nice watch and couldnt justify spending that kind of money on a watch, my only major computer purchase over the last 10 years - since I have been with my wife (items over £100 at a time when something has broken and never bought any top level/bleeding edge tech) has been my rMBP, that was only because it looks as though I am going to have to "lose" my little office at home and I think I have outgrown gaming now too.
  22. unsubbed about 2 months back here for good this time (actually uninstalled it off Mac and PC too), basically stuck in a boring rut running LFR with my hunter, who was max geared for that level, wasnt paying a sub for a game where I spent the rest of the time trying to get transmog sets for my alts. Don't fancy or have the ability to commit to raiding even on a casual schedule so it was pointless really.
  23. We use Veeam B+R here for all our VMs and it works a treat, recently had to use its restore function for the first time too after a debacle with AV being mistakenly installed onto our host nodes and that worked flawlessly
  24. I read it, felt some of it couldn't really be justified - gambling access for "Staff" was a bit comical to me, most of it was already implemented by us anyway here as its the common sense side of filtering on the whole, save for our own feelings on certain parts of it where things are open.
  25. I think you will find a lot of places specify for professional qualifications these days in IT to get good wage jobs outside of entry level stuff, I see a lot of them wanting MCSE/A/MCITP CCNA/CompTIA/VCP as "desirable" though you will get people who look at your CVs which I think is better, as experience is a better indicator and working in majority of schools it seems that we have access to the technology at the cutting edge, with things like EES agreements but its a case of not massive amounts of professional development being offered, especially as the courses cost a fair bit of money and your already proving your working with the technology to your employers (not always the case I agree).
