So looking to get a better homelab going. While I interested in the SuperMicro E300-9D-4CN8TP https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/Mini-ITX/SYS-E300-9D-4CN8TP.cfm I don't want to worry about the whining 40mm fans. I think I've decided on this...

Just for funsies, and to see what this vSAN thing is all about, decided to build a 2-node VMware vSAN cluster. Hosts are running on 8th Gen NUC i7's, 32GB RAM, 1x 250gb nvme, 1x 2tb SSD, booting off old USB thumbsticks. Took a bit to figure out how to get it all working, but I managed. Only...

I've tried 2 different links that get redirected via lucca, and I'm getting HTTP 403 Forbidden on both; from at least 2 different machines. The website declined to show this webpage HTTP 403 Most likely causes: •This website requires you to log in...

Anybody with a XenDesktop environment doing any testing with Win10? Our org is at the beginning stages of a Win10 deployment and, as my primary machine is a VDI, I decided to spin up a Win10 VDI for myself. Our VDI environment is limited to only a few (12'ish) IT staff, but is production...

So long story short... working on a friends laptop and the hdd was failing. Vista machine. Well, I replaced the drive, without realizing that Vista had issues with Advanced Format drives and that the Vista patch is not a patch downloaded from WU, but rather a hotfix you have to request. I'm...

What needs to be done to enable a static port for SQL in vSphere 5.5, instead of the dynamic port? I found some info on the intarwebs regarding vSphere 5.1, but the commands listed do not exist in 5.5 (ssocli, 5.5 has instead(?) ssolscli.cmd) We need to get a static port so that we can...

So I'm joining the "cable cutter" crowd. I'd like to have some sort of on-screen guide for OTA channels. I've done a ton of googling but haven't been able to find much in regards to suggestions or STBs to provide that capability. I would do some searching on Amazon, but I have no clue what...

So, issue that has just recently cropped up, and we have made no changes that would cause this. We now have several users who, although able to initially log in off the WAN, cannot unlock the screen off the WAN. They receive a "No logon servers available" error. This has never been an...

So this is an issue we've been having for a while now, with no rhyme or reason that I can find. We have a screensaver GPO set for only Win7 machines, and we configured it for the "Blank" screensaver (scrnsave.scr) On the majority of machines, it works as expected. When going to...

Minor issue, really, but I've come to despise these things. Go to a page/thread; try to go back, but I have to click back multiple times to actually go back because of the googleads ending up in the history. It doesn't happen all the time, but lately seems to be occurring much more often...

So we're soon'ish going to be migrating a bunch of machines to Java 7. We found a script online to uninstall all version of Java except a specified version. While the script works, the downside is that if Java is in use when it's run the computer will forcefully reboot. We need to be able...

Did a search here and didn't notice any mentionings. Anybody toyed with this? It's quite neat, really. Wondering if anybody has had any experience using it. Let's me keep my corporate email and whatnot seperate from my personal, on the same device. Also prevents Exchange security...

oops, wrong forum

This is for the LAN and a system running at a facility I support. They are in the process of a software upgrade on this system, and the vendor is requiring an additional DNS zone, to be a sub-domain of the existing DNS zone. I'm wondering if we can simply create a CNAME record in the...

We're slowly migrating to Windows 7. I've recently noticed an issue with users' home folders, when the user gets a new Win7 machine. Somehow, I have 157 folders with a display name of "My Documents" when I look at the Home share from my Win7 machine. When I look at that same folder from...

What options are out there for getting a disk image from a Dell PowerEdge R310 with a SAS 6/iR card? It looks like Clonezilla should work? Long story short, I'm cleaning up a clusterfuck of a mess. 1U server with 3 drives in RAID0. No redundancy, obviously, and this is an important system...

Had an issue back in August 2011 getting iPads and iPhones to connect to a Cisco WAP. Turns out the iDevices don't like TKIP with WPA2. Fast forward to now, and having a new issue. 2 iDevices running iOS v5.1.1 will not connect to a Cisco 1142N. One user's iPad had been working without issue...

Is there really anything to be worried about? Possible exploits coming about because of this? http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2403626,00.asp Reading the article doesn't really say much, other than VMWare stating they already share some of their source code.

http://www.samsung.com/us/captivateupgrade/gb1 Not sure how long it's actually been out; anybody upgraded their Captivate to this "official" release notice any improvements? Most notably, the "lag" that's very common in games?

So, we have encryption policies to follow. With these policies, we need to be able to encrypt data going onto optical and removable media. The removable media piece is fine. For the optical media piece, our encryption product is only compatible with discs formatted as UDF. Unfortunately...

So it looks like we will soon be deploying Win7 in one of our 24/7 facilities. We are using roaming profiles because, well, the employees roam between units; ie, computers. I know Microsoft doesn't make any tools for (mass, centralized) profile migrations, short of the USMT which wouldn't...

So we had a PCI scan, and we failed on a couple things where the devices are HP printers. For those that don't know, PCI = Payment Card Industry These 3 came from an HP LaserJet M4345 MFP. What needs to be disabled? Strangely, the other M4345's didn't get these. I compared...

Ok, trying to get a high-ups iPad and iPhone connected to wireless at work. I just happend to have 2 spare Cisco 1252AG WAPs sitting around. Configured the WAP, and neither an iPad nor iPhone will connect. It just says "Can't join network SSID" So, thinking maybe there was an issue with...

Anybody having any large reports of this BSOD recently? we have numerous computers that have started having this issue since at least Monday. We have not released or pushed any patches to any of these machines recently. Also, the machines continually reboot, without displaying the BSOD...

Is there any other way, short of the reg key, to disable NTFS compression on a Server 2003 box? everything I can find says to use fsutil, but on 2003 fsutil does not contain the disablentfscompression command. The only other way I've found, is by adding the reg key...

So, it appears Samsung released a Froyo build for the Galaxy S series of phones, or at least released one for the Captivate some time in February apparently. I updated my AT&T Captivate to Froyo today via Mini Kies. Menus look a little different. I had to use SuperOneClick...

So, we're working on a Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop environment. We currently have a single Wyse Xenith Zero-Client which can boot into a virtual desktop, and of course internal web access. What I'm currently poised to deal with, is find some form of LiveCD we can boot from and load...

So, I've come across a bizaar issue, and unsure how to resolve it. Also to note, I am not an Exchange enterprise admin, and the Exchange admins are unsure as to what caused the issue and why. On to the issue: Facility has a Public Folder called "Sick Call." It is a mail(box?) enabled...

So... we're trying to find a way to uninstall a part of GuardianEdge (an FDE product). The removable storage piece requires a set of credentials (GE-specific, not domain) to uninstall, though. We've contacted GuardianEdge, and they know of no way to do this. Yet, they've said some of their...

Anybody else using the Captivate, or any other Android 2.1 phone that just magically "loses" an Exchange account? Not sure how to explain it, but it's happend three times now. It's all working fine and dandy. For whatever reason I go to look at my email on my phone, so I click "E-mail"...

So we're attempting to evaluate a replacement for GuardianEdge. We want something that gets away from a pre-boot environment. Something that just runs as an agent. Similar to Credant Mobile Guardian. Are there any other products out there similar to Credant? We have looked at PGP, but...

What does everybody else do in terms of hdd space maintenance on their 2k8 boxes? I'm trying to do some disk cleanup on one of my Server 2k8 boxes, and not having much luck... 2008 being different from previous versions of Windows (no hotfix uninstallers located in...

So, I'm lost as to what could be causing the issue. The basic gist; starting Friday, printers started printing "super-sized" font. This is affecting numerous users and computers. Some pages are printing with a dotted outline where the margins are. site has a couple dozen printers, all being...
