I'd defrag the vhd(x) files individually with defraggler (i've done it before when they've split into 3 or 4 pieces) but my hyper-v servers have never had fragmentation even approaching that. Do you have a lot of snapshots/checkpoints. Are you disks differencing?

I do server updates manually during the longer holidays. I'm in the process of making sccm to the client updates but I'll leave the server ones to the team and windows update. Installed updates on the server are monitored by sccm though like everything else

I was thinking trying to get into university IT for something a bit more challenging while in a staying similar vein to school life or back to the private sector for more money and, probably, stress. I've done learning from scratch, setting up office from nothing and doing schools that were terrible but once they are done seem to tick along by themselves. One part of me says - enjoy the easy life/money but the bored part of my mind keeps wishing for something exciting to happen.

Well I'm going to do that right now! 25000ms to 6000ms (still seems quite long)

Yours restricts itself to the desktop OS so is probably better. My filter would apply to the server version (if it existed) as well if it used the same versioning

Mine is root\cimv2 select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Version like "10.%"

Update the domain if you want to use new features associated with it and you have domain controllers with a newer operating system. Update the forest if there are any features you want that become available for you at the higher level. I have updated to 2008R2 to use the fine grained password and recycle bin but there wasn;t anything too exciting in the 2012 and 2012r2 updates to get me to upgrade

Yes you create a policydefinitions folder in that directory and dump the group policies you downloaded into it (that is your central store) - your office and chrome etc policies go in there too. Once you've done it there will be a load folders with language shortname (like en-gb, en-us etc) and a lot of things that end .admx to go in that folder

Watched Cemetery Junction at the weekend. It was alright I suppose - very little of Ricky Gervais or Stephen Merchant which my husband was pleased with. In a nutshell it's about some working class young people who aren't happy with their lives and live somewhere near Reading in what might be the 70s or the 60s (I didn't work it out) They appear to be unhappy because they are young, mostly single, have jobs for life, a loving family, money enough not to worry about things and in spite of living 20 years in a region of working class Reading around the aforementioned decade 3/4 of them also have perfect teeth and looks and appear to have been brought up in a wealthy London suburb (that last bit could just be the actors not doing enough acting or some poor casting). Or they might be unhappy because they are just spoiled tw*ts - who knows At a push I might give it a 5/10 as some parts of it are funny. The previous weekend we watched The Worlds End. An altogether much better film although not what I was expecting - it seemed to be one type of film and then after an unexpected decapitation in a toilet it became something else entirely. The first hour is pretty good - the last part was a bit rubbish but the way the film was going along that was probably inevitable. worth a look though if you haven't seen it

We use airparrot to mirror to apple tvs connected to projectors/tvs (from windows) and airserver to mirror to PCs connected to projectors (from windows and apple devices). It was pretty cheap and it works reasonably well - the windows 8 realtek sound driver seems to have some issues streaming sound but the generic windows one doesn't so uninstalling the driver fixes it. We don't mirror across different vlans. It's simple enough for almost all the teachers to use although some regard projecting wirelessly as somehow inferior to using a cable which, so far, it doesn't appear to be

Mostly Dell, some Allied Telesys

Yes there is quite a bit of that going on, plenty of breasts on show although the sex scenes are only as revealing as the DA2 and DA3 ones were. On my first playthough I thought two rabbits had been generated on top of each other. Later I realised that the bunnies do seem to be attempting to reproduce if you watch them. I haven't seen this with any of the other wildlife so far.

Is there a better description of the product somewhere? ("office forms" seems to be the least useful google search I have done this year) thanks

There is a delay email option in outlook but it doesn't store it on the server for later delivery but locally which means it doesn't get sent if the client isn't on then. There's nothing in the server end that I am aware of that would allow you to do that Our head was quite keen on emails after 7pm being delayed until 6am unless marked as high priority but in the end we went with a voluntary staff curfew between those times. Roughly 100 emails a week get sent between staff during those hours now which everyone is happy with.

Had a few days off before easter allowing me 10 days of time to spend with my husband and my computer. I got through a couple of games Saturday - Monday Risen 2 Owned this for about 3 years without playing it. Turns out it is a really good game if you can get through the first couple of hours where basically anything can kill you and you can't fight any better than I could in real life if you handed me a sword and a flintlock-style pistol. Nic enumber quests and side quests although limited replay-ability value and also the final boss fight is very very simple (I had spent longer fighting a giant crab on several occasions). Graphics are perfectly acceptable and after the initial island you can go where you please and do what you want in the order you want to do it but enemies don't scale so if, like me, you do everything you can occasionally I had to spend an hour killing things in one or two hits as I was massively overpowered compared to the denizens of the island I had arrived at - conversely I encountered a gnome-eater which I was in no way capable of defeating and it ended up being one of the last things I went for. Great fun and it took me about 3 days to complete. The DLC is completely not worth it if you have to spend more than a pound Monday - Wednesday Risen 3 Enjoyed risen 2 so muc I thought I'd have a go at risen 3 which I bought in the steam winter sale iirc. Based in a similar area to Risen 2 it was nice, having just played it, to se that the returning islands were just the same but with a graphical update. Just like Risen 2 the first couple of hours were a bit of a slog (although secondary weapons are much easier to use in Risen 3). To be honest it's so similar in style to Risen 2 that I could write exactly the same things about it even down to the final boss battle which, again, took me far less time that killing some skeleton enemies. This game also took me about 3 days and again the DLC doesn't add enough to it to be worth buying separately. Thursday Gothic 3 Made by the same people as the Risen series - very similar in lots of ways. I spent half a day playing it but I couldn't really get into it - the constantly being killed thing was really frustrating as I would get up on almost no health having technically only been knocked down, have dropped my sword and would then get hit by the person who had just killed me killing me again - escape was just about possible if I didn't mind losing my (only) sword and this was the very first part of the game (technically the tutorial). Eventually I managed to get away but the same thing happened everywhere and I thought the first person rpg thing might just have run it's course for me for the moment so I tried another type of game. Shadowrun Returns It looked like it might be a laser squad/xcom style game but it's not really like that. It's turn based but the comparisson seems to end there and there is so much text to read - well done for having typed it all but a nice cut scene with a voice over would have been nice. I spent about 3 hours playing it but I just couldn't get into the game so it's been added to my mental list of games to have another go at during my next long break. I get the feeling it is good but I need to find out how It reminds me a bit, and this is going back some way, of Bloodnet which I really enjoyed on my Amiga (yes that far back) DarkSouls + Lords of the Fallen Two games that don't have workable keyboard/mouse controls (in my opinion). Sometimes I don't mind being forced to use my controller to play the odd game but that sort of thing immediately makes me less forgiving of anything else I don't like in a game and they got about 2 hours out of me each before my frustrations soured me on them both. I may never play them again. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic - I have tried playing this before and I think I lasted exactly the same length of time. It just couldn't hold my attention and I bored of it after a couple of hours. This getting easily bored of games may be something to do with the shear number I have in my steam account - there are so many I could be playing that if I'm not instantly gripped by a game it may not get the attention it deserves. Friday - Monday (and still going) On Thursday afternoon I bought the Witcher 3 and the Heart of Stone DLC from GMG/GOG for a combined price of £25. I had been waiting for the steam version to come down in price a bit but in the end though f*** it I'll just install it like a normal game. Took one look at the number of downloads that entails and promptly changed my mind and used the Galaxy software to do it for me. Took most of the remainder of my assigned computer time so I didn't start playing it until Friday. On Friday morning I noticed Watchdogs had had a fairly hefty price cut and I would have bought this if it had happened a bit earlier. I have a thing where in games like this (think Dragon Age 3 or any of the Elder Scrolls games) I have to complete the game in a way that lets me do every possible side quest and having played this for 3 days unless I spend about a week with excel setting up some sort of a spreadsheet I'm not sure it's going to be possible. There are too many things that only show up in the quest log when completed, too many quests that affect other quests unexpectedly - who would have though releasing a strange blob/demon horse thing from under a haunted tree would mean some woman, in a seemingly entirely unrelated quest, would be cursed with looking like a 60s/70s hippy who refused to enter the 80s and then died and by doing that cause another, more major, character to die as well? My initial thoughts on the game was that it was a bit boring but that turned out to be (after some forum reading) that I was just playing it on too low a difficulty settings - I have set it to the second highest and now It's much more enjoyable and strangely I'm much better at fighting now I have to use the entire range of combat options because almost everything is too string to kill with my sword. Having Geralt's beard grow as time passes is both amusing and annoying - there's just something humorous I find about having to put off saving a woman from being torn apart by some undead nasty because I need to visit the barber's that morning because having a white beard just makes him look too old. This is going to be a dragon age 3 style game in it's hugeness (If I complete this in under 150 hours I will be surprised) - I may well be playing this every day from now until the summer. The female protagonist has the same voice as the female DA2 champion as well which caught me off guard when I first head her speak although she does seem to be trying to do an impression of Emilia Fox at times. So far I'm enjoying it as much as Dragon Age 3 (which it is fairly similar to) and The Witcher (to which it is less similar to - I miss the fighting styles of the first game). It is thankfully only very superficially similar to The Witcher 2 which I just didn't enjoy at all - I kept hoping that eventually it would become good but alas it really doesn't - 40 hours I won't get back.

I've tried prepopulating using copying or backup/restore when I've used DFS to pretty much no success. Letting windows do it itself (admittedly with a massive 60GB staging quota) has kept it happy ever since

A sign of the apocalypse?

As long as the phrase information super highway never again rears its head with regards to either thing I'm happy with using them synonymously although I recognise the difference I don't any pressing need for to correct people for using one when the other is more appropriate.

I was going to say delete her local profile and let it recreate but it's Friday afternoon just reimage the whole thing Re-reading it sounds like computer group policy - if you move the OU her PC is in to the ICT suite one do her problems go away?

The lack of all of those extra features of windows 10 was the main driving force behind us using the ltsb version

We're going with the LTSB for our first win10 ICT suite over easter

You don't need the performance counters but they are reasonably simple to fix should you want to monitor it (or as you seem to really hate eventlog errors it will clear those up) You can wait til easter if you want but I don't see why any of this would be noticeable by anyone else This webpage has the necessary instructions for sql 2014 Restore Missing SQL Server Performance Counters | SQL Server content from SQL Server Pro You do sound a bit like you don't trust your sql backups though so you could also schedule in a test restore during the hols

Scully looks about 12 with mulder's hair but mulder just looks like his own mum

I really only ever watched him in Every Second Counts - loved that show. My dad found him annoying so he didn't get on evening telly.

Our welcome pack for everyone is pretty similar to what has been mentioned before but we do put in how to setup activesync on windows 8/10 and iOS. Android devices are quite rare here unless they are a school phone (we hand out the moto g) and we set that up for them. All staff and pupils have computer training - how/where to save stuff and what each thing is (intranet, remoteapp, outlook, website, parent portal, mis etc) The year 7s (all new students regardless of year) also get a full copy of the AUP (they have a short copy in their school diaries) they have to sign (and a parent/guardian) and return. I have a feeling this is just a tick box exercise as we don't have them anywhere so they may just go in the bin when they come back.
