    Windows Server 2012 R2 Upgrade question

    Does your server have any type of iDRAC/IPMI/etc.management access? You can typically mount an ISO that way for an upgrade.

    Just curious if you have any other thoughts on the Tintri now that you've been using it for a while?

    VMware online training

    On a limited budget, I'd recommend some of the PluralSight courses as well. There are some great ones that are worth taking.

    HGST 4tb NAS drives - are they good?

    I just purchased quite a few of the 6TB models as well - they should be decent drives with low failure rates.

    MD1000 Noise Level?

    I can confirm that older MD1000s aren't too bad. Nothing you want to sit next to all day probably, but no worse than the attached servers most likely.

    Netgear also has a switch that is powered via PoE, but it doesn't supply PoE power as well (power limits).

    Tintri on its way!

    Very interesting. Also, a question specific to SRM. I see that Tintri has a qualified SRA, which is nice. I prefer storage replication typically - are there any issues there at all, assuming a Tintri box on both ends of course? Or is vShpere replication the preferred method? I won't...

    Who do you use for online backup?

    I haven't found that to be the case at all, at least for the annual subscription. I just helped with a restore for someone to a new computer and the old computer was taken offline more than 4 months prior. Restore went as expected.

    VMUG Advantage EVALExperience

    That's great news. Hopefully we'll see some changes soon. I think many more people will jump on board if they are willing to be a little more flexible.

    VMUG Advantage EVALExperience

    Agreed. This seems like a reasonable licensing scheme to go along with the VSAN testing.

    Same here. Been a VMUG member for quite a while but this definitely gave me the incentive to join Advantage.

    VMUG Advantage EVALExperience

    VMUG Advantage EVALExperience I know lots of people have looked for the return of a program like this so I just wanted to post a link. 365 day licenses (non-prod) for the following products are now available with a VMUG Advantage subscription. Just happened across this today and didn't see...

    beginner NGFW questions

    I'd also consider a Fortigate 60D. Hardware is right in the ballpark of what you're looking at and the support isn't too bad, especially if you bundle. For a very small office, this should be sufficient and also allow you to setup a VPN for security, and have the NGFW capabilities you'll...

    Excel 2013: minimized Excel workbooks restore when opening another Excel file

    I believe the behavior has been changed in 2013 to allow multiple instances, but I agree, the restored minimized workbooks are frustrating when doing a lot of work at once. I'd like to know if someone has a fix as well.

    How do you store and manage passwords at work?

    How do you like it so far? Does it do a good job of providing a way to allow many users access to the program while only allowing them to view their own passwords? From reading their site, it looks promising.
