Just posting this in case someone googles the subject for info one day. I got a LSI00244 (9201-16i) Seems to be working perfectly under ESXi 5.5 in passthrough mode to a Win2k12 VM. Worked out the box for me with no fuss. I'm still doing some testing with it, but it looks like it will be a...

I'm completely baffled on how this happened. It is a lil bit complicated and long I'll try and explain as much as I can. Everything here is an ESXi VM. On the server in my sig I have about 14 hard drives spread across 3 different controllers. The onboard motherboard Sata controller & 2...

Anyone have an Asus 9800GTX with this female archer art on it? I want it because I also have the Radeon equivalent and I was going to use both of them to mount on a wall as geek art pretty much. I had one but by accident I threw it in the dumpster :( It doesn't even have to work. I...

I do a LOT of home PC work and recently got asked by a hotel owner to see if I could help with something he wanted installed. He would like a Captive Portal setup for his hotel's wifi. I had already been tinkering with PFsense for over two years now and have had it happily up and running in my...

I was trying to help out a friend that runs a small hotel. What he wants is like at most hotels where once you connect to the wi-fi, when you open a webpage it redirects you to a custom webpage that has a Terms of Service agreement, upon which you can then press "Accept" then it goes away and...

I have an oddball problem, just wondering if perhaps anyone heard anything like it. I have a ESX4.1 machine running a Win2k3 fileserver. I had a drive full of kung fu movies on my old bare metal 2k3 box. In my conversion to the virtual machine I copied over the network all my movies to it. At...

Sorry for the bad subject line, can't find a a way to go back and edit it. I just built my first ESX whitebox and it pretty much is swimming along smothly. One thing that bothers me however is that I have added a total of 12 Hard disk to my Win2k8 fileserver. They are all under a single "SCSI...

Hi, I just recently got into tinkering around with ESX. Just for the heck of it i decided to move my 2k3 Fileserver over to a VM within ESX 4.1. However when I try to add the drives to the server it seems the only option I have is to format the drives to the native vmfs filesystem. So...

I have a network running 2008Server With a mix of Win Vista/7 and XP SP3 clients. I found a GPO in 2k8 that will disable all removeable storage, however it only works with Vista/7. I heard from another admin friend that there is a hotfix for XP that will allow it to work with that GPO but I...

I have a odd request. I have 2 servers talking to each other via Win2k8 Domain and 1 UPS. The UPS can handle a power outage for about 15 minutes. I usually set the software to where if power is not restored within 5 minutes shut the server down. Server 1 talks to the UPS via USB. Server 2...

My fileserver's O.S drive decided to take a crap on me so I had to reinstall Server2k3 Standard again. However I did have a month old ntbackup of the systemstate. This is my first time I ever tried restoring using that. What I did was format and install Server2k3 to a new drive, install all...

I been googling this problem but I keep running into non-working information or info on how to allow Mutli-session on XP. The problem I'm having is that when I log into my Win2k3 box, then disconnect, when I connect at another time it keeps that original session going, but logs me in on a new...

Selling a Linksys EF4124 and Allied Telesyn AT-FS724i $35 shipped each OR $50 shipped for both. I'm pretty sure both work 100% I used them for throwing LanParties since 2003. I upgraded to Gigabit switches so these are no longer needed. Refrences: Ebay Profile -...

References: Ebay Profile I'm selling my X-arcade solo stick. It comes with serial extension + PC/PS3 usb adapter + PS1/PS2 adapter.

A lot of games in STEAM don't seem to like being run on a box where the user is just a win2k3 AD "domain user". I can get it to run just fine if I do "Run As" another user with domain admin. Is it possible to make a shortcut that has credentials for domain admin so that users don't have to do...
