Has it made the red crossed out HTTPS go back to green (or at least grey)? I'm on Lightspeed 2 and currently Chrome 55 so just hope they don't update themselves to 56 if that brings up a full screen warning on every site that goes through the proxy! I tried version 3 at the start of the year as I was told how wonderful it would be, no end of problems, the main being the user agent for v3 is different to v2, and once installed didn't seem to be bothering to contact the filter at user logon so every time anybody opened a browser they were repeatedly prompted for credentials. They pushed out fixes but while it sort of fixed the authentication it broke reporting, gave up and went back to v2. So if they managed to update your v2 to generate decent certificates I'll get onto them in the morning and get mine sorted out.

I use Veeam Backup+Replication (Enterprise) for VMWare but it also supports Hyper V (in fact I use the free version of Veeam to back up my home Hyper V server). Really easy to use and after years of struggling with Backup Exec I couldn't believe the difference, no more tearing hair out trying to get backup to play nicely. (I'm not on commission, honest) The free version is surprisingly good (they haven't cut out anywhere near as many features as you'd have thought) but one of the best bits in Enterprise is the ability to do a Backup Copy job, which will automatically copy the output of a backup job (either by job or host or VM) to another location, be it tape or remote disk. If you need it, it will also do reverse incremental backups where it performs an incremental then merges that with the existing full backup, slows down the backup a bit but speeds up recovery. There is a comparison of features in each version (Free/Enterprise/Enterprise Plus) on their website which links to: https://www.veeam.com/pdf/datasheet/veeam_availability_suite_9_5_editions_comparison_en.pdf

I've got it working most of the time but varying results. We have: XML files on a share Redirected start menu containing the shortcuts Win 10 LTSB Enterprise (1511) Students "don't have" profiles (i.e. it creates a local profile when they log on to a machine, then it gets deleted when it's not been used for over a week) - all the restrictions etc are GPO/registry based. Student start menus work perfectly, App list is correct and the tiles out of the XML are all there. Staff have roaming profiles, most work but randomly some will show a plain black screen in place of the tiles (but the app list still works). Only fix is to delete the roaming profile (and local cache version) and let windows create them a new one at next logon (sometimes this doesn't work). I would say this affects about 20% of staff logins, so we have just put the most common shortcuts on the desktop as a temporary measure until we have sorted it out. Other staff problems are that clicking the start button just doesn't do anything, again trashing their profile fixes this. The "fix" to the roaming profile start menu problems is to update to the anniversary edition, so I have been testing Win 10 Enterprise Anniversary (1607) and it appears to work (although they removed the "File Explorer" link that was in the LTSB style start menu and you can't get it back via group policy) Putting the XML off the share and onto the C: drive doesn't seem to make any difference. As others have said, once you have logged on with a broken start menu it will never fix itself without a new profile. I actually don't mind the start menu design just wish they had bothered to test it properly before releasing!
