On my welcome page it states I have one cookie expires = session? How would I remove this? Wes

Are there any tools that can sift through a site and check if it stores cookies? Wes

Also make sure that your sims.ini file on each client is pointing to your current SIMS Server if not it won't pick up any updates. Wes

Seeing as ICO have never even given out a £500,000 fine, £130,000 was the largest for an LA who lost huge amounts of data I doubt schools will get fined for this they may be contacted to get it sorted out. Wes

I'm getting the following error message when VDI in a box is trying to setup an image: Windows could not finish configuring the system. To attempt to resume configuration, restart the computer. I have several times but to no avail, the basic KB article MS puts out doesn't fix this as the patch cannot be applied. Stopping Anti-Virus and Firewall and Defender on the Win7 build does nothing I'm quickly running out of ideas as to why this is the case? Anyone had experience of setting this up and getting it working? Wes

Yes but it also allowed linux and unix systems to access LDAP in a simpler way as well.

Yeah I get that feeling too been the same for many years though. Suppose basic PC with decent sound card and VDI session as well would be the compromise until this can be dealt with. Although there are a few music editing packages on line which the latency can't be good for either? Wes

Well as it's only a Proof of Concept that will tell whether or not it's worth doing as for the latency of Cubase well some of our older machines basic sound cards have latency problems so we had to replace then (i'm not expecting great things). Wes

I've installed citrix in a box and setup a very basic Windows 7 Template image creating two VDI VMs from this. What I would like to do now would be to setup a couple of boxes either thin client or fat running these VDIs and getting them to work with Smart board and CuBase now both are going to suffer latency issues CuBase being the worst has anyone tried this before and could recommend some thin client boxes to trial? Wes

@Geoff: If only life were that easy . So authoritative restore on a DC preferably the one with the most FSMO roles then create new ones add them right lets hope this never happens again. Thanks guys, Wes

As an aside if both DCs died you would have to restore from backup would you then do an authorative restore on each of the DCs to sort out the time problem? Wes

@zippo: Couldn't do sysprep image back onto domain as domain was no longer contactable or even working on the DCs. @Geoff: Would have liked to attempt the authoritive restore though, that may have saved some time. @Davit2005: The GPO shouldn't have been but something went wrong and that must have been the cause. All is well and working fine though so no lasting harm done hopefully I won't see any other issues developing from this. Wes

Try pressing the HELP button. Don't release and press the power button. The LED lights should blink. Release then try to power on again.

Try holding the power button in for 20 seconds? Wes

Currently 5.6 but looking to upgrade over the summer to 6. The backup has now been working without issue. There is no hardware fault I can find as the VMs were running on two seperate hosts one had the VHDs running on a SAN another locally neither have had an issue since rolling back. No other issues have been reported with the network so I do not believe that is the cause. Looks like there was an issue with the Computer Security GPO so I think it was just a one off going to keep a close eye on it still. Wes

After spending sometime last night looking through the system our GPOs seem to be corrupt resulting in problems with the Server service stopping and so making the GP manager and ADUC etc.. unavailable. Couldn't find any issue with malware attacks even ran an anti-virus pre-boot scan. As time was running out last night I pulled up our snapshot backup from the night before and reverted to that the secondary DC is now off until I have a chance to look into it as well but I think the GPO issues stopped services and this caused the damage. Everything is thankfully up and running again without too many issues. Thankfully I had made the snapshot because we create Bare Metal Backups of them which would have taken sometime to setup but I had done a snapshot before changing something the day before so I was able to recreate the DC from this. Thanks for all of your help I have the original VM still (although it's off) and will be working on a fix, just in case this happens again. I will post here if I manage to fix it. Tip: Always have a backup and DR plan Haven't fell that worried in some time. Fixing it was a great feeling as I did it all remotely (Unix and XenCenter/XenServer are my friends ) Wes

Both DCs are affected as well? Wes

Server service was disabled, starting it back up did not cure the problem?

Major problem the active directory no longer works I cannot get into group policy or ADUC etc cannot contact domain even on DCs I think one of my firewall policies within GPO has suddenly been applied to the servers as well as the workstations is there anyway of sorting this out? I have a snapshot of the server from thursday last week if I restore this will anything else untoward happen? Please reply ASAP. Wes

I've have in the past used the free AutoVer software to keep a backup of every file modification and newly created file for when our daily incremental backups just don't get the job done i.e. created and deleted between backup windows. However I don't believe AutoVer isn't suited to large data areas that get accessed and modified at the volumes ours currently do. My question is does anyone know of any software that can do this preferably Open-Source and/or free but mostly reliable? Wes

Better than I thought it would be.

Seems to be up at the moment?

Looking for some sort of docking station for iPods and Aux option for other mp3 players plus Blu Ray player all in one if possible? Wes

Well they can now telnet into the box from outside so it's a start See how it goes over the next week could be the cheapest RDP linux/windows streaming app solution I've seen since before Sun was bought by oracle and easier to setup and use. Wes

I've disabled https inspection for the moment and we are now retesting. Fingers crossed. Wes
