Busted local profile.
If you logged in as local admin, blow away the profile of the troubled user and try again. That should rebuild it. And that means through the User Profile utility, not just deleting the user folder.

I'm starting to wonder if virtualising my firewall was such a good idea.
Why? Every cloud provider does a VFW. Cisco's vASA is very kewl, especially in high density environments that I work in. Thousands of firewalls, all humming along.
Your little one off isn't that big of a deal. Just isolate and go for it.
Nifty. Wonder how deep they are going and how much command line zealotry they will be pushing. Yeah yeah, everything is command driven, but for lots of us, we don't need to learn the subtle nuances of vi when pico will do the job just as well. Most of the CLI zealots demand you learn vi and vi only.

While in many of the SMB I have worked at, the owners did not give dick until asked/forced by the employee.
In the enterprise, raises are formal. In the SMB, raises are from moving between companies.
What do you mean by formal?
In February, the big V puts in their performance reviews and lines up our raises for the next year. A month later, bonuses are established based on what our raises were.
Formality, when you know when something is gonna happen.
At that point in the creation process, it's writing to the storage and such.
If you are using local storage, do you have the right storage drivers installed? If you are using shared storage, I would migrate the VM to another host and then create, see if that duplicates the issue.

They do everything. They staff ALL of CitiGroup IT now, for example.
Funny, I just got a call for a job at Citi. Direct hire too via a recruiter. Very strange.
At least @Lakshmana isn't going to work for Tata. Those guys really don't know what they are doing. They are the ones who when we notified them of their Terminal Server spewing Facebook spam decided the appropriate action was to put facebook.com into the host file as 0.0.0.0.
WiPro isn't much better, but it's certainly a good move up from the fly by night operations over in that part of the world.

For good reason. I've seen knowing vi mean the difference between being the guy fixes the servers or the guy who fetches his coffee.
Ultimately it's a text editor. There is nothing inherently different between vi and pico or any of the hundreds of text editors out there. There isn't anything compelling to use it other than zealotry.
You don't see the same kind of craziness when it comes to Notepad and Wordpad in Windows. Wordpad is a much more feature rich and since Windows 7 more in line with Office with the ribbon and such. But you don't see Windows zealots screaming about how you are not really using Windows if you don't use Notepad and Notepad only.
There is a huge difference. That difference is: included by default. vi is the only option on every enterprise UNIX out of the box. It's only about operational mindset, not zealotry. For engineers it doesn't matter what you learn because you add what you want. For admins, you use what you have and the most reliable answer is vi.
Which leads us back to zealotry. Just because Notepad is the default text editor in Windows doesn't make it the best, nor does it make it bad. But dare say vi sucks, you get the herpaderp brigade out in force thumping an O'Reiley vi book in your face. Sure, it's required for POSIX compliance, but it doesn't mean it's good.
If I have to use vi, I do. But I generally load whatever I feel like, or use one of the alternate ones that are much more intuitive, pico being my usual choice. I'm sure if I spent nothing but weeks in training ON A TEXT EDITOR maybe I would be more proficient. But once again, it's a [moderated] text editor. It shouldn't require a guide, nor doing things in such an archaic way.
This is when it pays to know thyne market.
Without a company name, or a recruiter, I can't say for certain what the job will exactly entail. But knowing Richardson, we can eliminate Fossil, BCBS, Verizon, AT&T, Ericson, and a few more of the big guns. They don't write shitty job posts. From the listing and the barebones description, it's a L1 QA and/or tech support situation. And knowing Richardson, most of the jobs revolve around telcom somehow, be it Broadcom, the Samsung R&D lab, the chip foundry by ST Micro, XTE, or something like that.
That said, with that level of education, generic posting, and all other factors, my guess would be it is for Cisco.
Why the [heck] would you put GNOME or KDE on a server? If you are so starved for a GUI, use Webmin or any number of tools.
That's a function of it being a part of POSIX compliance. It's included in Cygwin, BSD, Linux, etc. etc. With our enterprise, we have multiple text editors installed by default from our implementation team.

@PSX_Defector We are using a NEW Equal Logic SAN. We had an MSP install it and create datastores to our VM Environment. Is there a step that might have been missed?
Most likely.
Usually Equal Logic means iSCSI, you could be running into collisions on the network or the SAN isn't able to keep up with the chatter.
I would still migrate the VM over to another host, possibly the template as well. The host you are working with might be the problem, eliminate that. Otherwise I would get with Dell about performance on that thing. IOPS would explain this pretty well.

Do you really need SAS interface? Does it provide that much more xyz over the SATA interface?
Double the bandwidth and full duplex. A lot closer to PCI-E than SATA is.
All the current SATA SSDs are at peak performance with the SATA bus, with the pipe being the limiter. SAS is the next logical step for making things run faster in enterprise. PCI-E offers crazy nuts performance, but the infrastructure currently available to utilize it is not nearly as expansive as SAS. You can add 24 disks in SAS with one cable versus PCI-E with as many lanes you can supply.
SATA is perfectly fine for 90% of what people do. It's the 8% that need something more that would need SAS based while the last 2% will need PCI-E performance.

Kansas City isn't exactly a major market.
In telecom, it's one of the major hubs of the country.
Sprint is headquartered in Overland Park. Google Fiber fired up there first. AT&T before remerger had a major operation there. Tons of telecoms peer within KCI because of that.
It is not a major television market, nor a populous place. But it has lots of braintrust and serious players in the market around there. Birch is one of the bigger players who have done well since their last Chapter 11.

Low taxes (no state or city taxes, only federal.)
That's incorrect. Although in Texas we do not have an INCOME tax it doesn't mean we are not taxed out the ass for other things. Our property taxes are pretty high as compared to other places, our sales tax is beefy, and fees are constantly going up and up.
This is a problem when discussing tax policy. Just because we don't see something come out of our paychecks doesn't mean we don't pay it in other ways. The best way to live in Texas is to rent an apartment, don't drive, and buy only from out of state online retailers who don't charge local sales tax.

I already checked the firewall ports exemptions,I used the default 1433 for TCP Protocol. And also,network connectivity from that PC to the server both can see each other, the confusing part is, other computer can connect to the server, and the one that cannot was able to ping the server.
I'm not yet sure if there was any new software install because we are not the one using the computer.
Basic troubleshooting.
Can the broken box hit the SQL instance via telnet? Can you make an ODBC connection to it? Does your application need an ODBC connection?
Shit, an old ass Honeywell mini. That's something you don't see every day.
If you were closer, I would take that one off your hands for $10. Shipping on that monster would cost a fortune, not worth it to come back to Texas. With the number of dumb terminals, there might be some other mini/mainframe stuff in there. But that's very niche and not worth a lot.
Most of the other stuff is cleanable and sellable. The TI-99/4a, TRS-80 and VIC20 are easy money. The PS/2 stuff, not so much.

Thanks for the product keys!
Touche.
Meh, it's for Windows 7, they are already in use and have been for a long time. And they are going away in 30 days. Do your worst!
I have Dreamspark Windows 7 and Vista (and even XP) keys. I'm good.
You mean BXMG3-4RVCD-DYH75-XBH3B-6PDMG? Our ever so favorite volume key?

Hi All,
I am Lakshmana Shiva from India interested in IT Security but am unsure of What I want to pursue or how to switch from what I am doing currently into a security role.Can anyone suggest me ?
Yeah, don't.
I had a long and involved, probably racist, response, but it boils down to this. If you have to ask, you will never know. The hubris of thinking you have been a desktop grunt for 6 months and think that qualifies you to jump into security says how little you actually have for experience.
Go work, get experience, and maybe in a few years, re-approach this.
