If you're using the same sites regularly yes, root hints can work fine. Or assuming you never scavenge DNS, but having the first time the page loads every time take way longer is hardly a great solution. Forwarders exist for a reason after all. Don't use them if you don't want to, but don't...

IE11 works fine on 8.1 for msn.com. Though I wouldn't use that site by choice.

:rolleyes:

Is that what's doing that? Son of a bitch, that annoys the hell out of me.

Ah nothing like an IE clusterfuck post.

Why are you not just setting your forwarders to google and opendns? Using root hints is the slowest way I can think of to use DNS.

You modified permissions on the app data folder and don't think application problems might somehow be related?

Dell T320 stuffed full of ram, 1TB WD black drives, and extra gig ports. Works quite well but wasn't cheap.

I don't honestly plan to upgrade the DB. I'm building an entirely new DC deployment and then probably cold migrating everything across. I got burned so bad by 5.1 I'm not touching the live environment till I know I have something to implement. Though I appreciate you checking into it. Also...

I actually plan to take what your wrote and use it during my next 4.1 - 5.5 upgrade.

It's not that there aren't ways around it. It's that nothing is documented at all. I'm not trying to sound like some fanboy or something slagging on VMware but they seem like they don't give a shit at all anymore. It's frustrating and pisses me off. Getting told "We've deleted all the AD...

If they're changing how the workflows functions it would be nice if they were to post some documentation explaining why and how they changed them. At this point I don't trust VMware docs anymore, I find a 3rd party that has tried it first and see how they managed. Depending on how Hyper-V 4 is...

To address you and NetJunkie, without spending more time googling. You seriously think releasing a client that requires you to run a separate C# client for the Update Manager counts as 90% feature parity? Plugins still don't work for most things, their backup manager is ridiculous. As near...

Seriously? Have you never used the C# client? Now instead of making it work properly they have a web interface that only supports ~40% of the functionality of the client and in 5.1 supported even less. Instead of picking one and making it work well they're completely half assing both of them.

Rather than wringing my hands in angst over one windows license I would rather they make the fucking thing work properly.
