    That's where http://i2ieventsgroup.com forwards to, now I'm not so special
  3. I was going to suggest uninstalling the update and then run windows update, but if you can't find it to uninstall it there must me an issue in the registry somewhere.

    I hope not, it looks official and lets me print my badge, maybe I'm just special
  5. It is my understanding that the ping time is the length of time it takes to route from your device to the server and back again, so it may improve slightly with a faster connection at your webserver end but it is only a single link in the chain if the other links in the connection are slower it will not get any faster.
  6. I've never found BETT to be that good for freebs, the most I get is pens and the occasional stress ball the Misco expo on the other hand companies were throwing really nice stuff at me, I got a couple of UAG mil spec phone cases, a set of bluetooth speakers, A dual phone bluetooth headset as well as all manner of other nice bits. I think I'll be at BETT this year as long as everything is working smoothly again after having to rebuild my primary DC unexpectedly.

    True but being that it's a play anywhere title I'm sure they'd have to reduce the price on the Windows store if it goes on sale on the xbox store and DLC gets reduced all the time on there.

    The 40+Gb re-install is putting me off to be honest. Blizzard mountain will probably be reduced in price soon, I know Storm Island on FH2 was reduced not long after release, I think I picked that up for under a tenner.

    It hasn't worked on my system since the day I installed it, just crashes on load, not bothered because I have it on the Xbox but it'd be nice to be able to play it upstairs too.
  11. A lot of them say they have no dependencies and the ones that do drill down to services that also have none but can't start. I'm going through uninstalling windows updates at the moment hoping it might have been something in there that's caused the issues
  12. Funnily enough I had most of the roles split between the 2 servers up until just before xmas when I started getting Drive failure imminent warning on the old server so I moved most of the roles over to the newer server then and took the old server out of the DFS list to try and prolong the life of the failing HDD until a new one could be ordered after xmas, it's just sods law tat the other server packed up the day before the new HDD arrived and everything could go back to normal. event viewer is one of the failed services so I can't check it, but it's mainly networking services and WMI services. nope still the same problem in Safe mode with network support
  13. Thanks guys, Still had no luck with any of the above, I've noticed a lot of services are failing to start with dependency error 1068 even services that have no dependencies. I have also tried plugging in a usb wireless NIC to see if I can connect to the network with that but again the same problem, it installs the drivers and says it's working in device manager but it does not see any network adapters in the network sharing center. I had a fellow NM come look at it last night, He's as baffled by it as I am. This is my primary DC and Operations master hosting the majority of network services so I'm really not looking forward to having to bin it and start fresh as my cloud backup is data only, but it's looking more and more likely by the day. On a lighter note my 9 year old HP ML370 G5 is coping well with being the sole remaining DC and as I'm shifting services over to it, it seems to be taking it in it's stride.
  14. Yep done that pretty much before every reboot so far, they are there in device manager but I just get a red x over the network status in the notification area and no adapters to configure
  15. No joy I'm afraid, I ran through it twice in case I missed anything the first time but still no network adapters anywhere other than in device manager.
  16. Thanks for the quick reply, I'll give that a try now.
  17. I need help, I'm pulling my hair out here. My HP DL360 Gen 9 on 2012R2 is saying it has no network connection, the 4 network cables are connected to 4 separate switches all of which are working fine, device manager says all four ports are working, but I'm getting nothing. If I go into network sharing center and into adapter settings, it's not showing any adapters. Everything was working fine until I told it to install updates yesterday and every one of them failed to install other than the latest Windows Malicious software removal tool. I'm also getting almost everything coming up as unknown in Server manager and if I go to add or remove roles and features I get a popup saying "Server Manger is collecting inventory data, the wizard will be available after data collection finishes" but it never does. The 4 adapters were part of a NIC team but that seems to have vanished too. Has anyone got any ideas because I'm all out, I've tried resetting the IP stack, rebuilding the WMI Repository and I've updated drivers and firmware for the NICs. Someone suggested running the NDISCleanup tool but I can't find it anywhere.
  18. You think they'd have an auto park button, I mean most high-end saloon cars have that now. I really like the new movies too, I think the entire cast are pretty true to the original series.
  19. We have 5 people that can send out an email to the "All Staff" group, myself, the Head, Deputy, SAO and Business Manager. If anyone wants to send an email to all staff it has to go via one of us and if we don't agree that it needs to go to all staff then it doesn't get sent.
  20. Team it with a dash cam and you've covered all the bases.
  21. Third Party policy can only be taken out on cars under a certain value these days, no Idea why as the insurance company would more than likely write a cheap car off for the slightest little accident leaving the owner with nothing anyway, but I agree last time I looked at a third party quote on my Golf that I paid £280 for it was the same as a fully comp quote. Definitely go down the black box route if you can't get a decent quote as long as your daughter is a safe driver it should keep the cost down.
  22. Mine is set to 20
  23. Finally sort of got this working, I've got all my blueprints and profiles setup but one thing, am I being thick or is there no way to enable iCloud and Find my iPhone through Configurator 2?
  24. I'm on LGfL here, nothing is showing up as blocked in the report I just ran and other videos from vzaar.com are working fine. edit:- Tried it with IE too and still get the error message.
  25. on Chrome here
