I don't know if this is the right way (but I've found a few articles that do it this way online as well) but I create a user called xzy calendar. I then give access to that calendar to everyone who needs it. tada - all uses have access to the calendar in Outlook.

Wow. Ok. That's, erm, just let us never talk about this again. Totally forgot this one 😉

yeah I've seen this before, but not for a logon to the computer problem.

Awesome, thank you very much. That's what I was looking for.

I am lucky to get 3 people in Rochester (and 2 of them are Art and I). The third is @DustinB3403 😛

Syracuse can get up to like 20 on a good night

I haven't been able to make it to Syracuse in a long time. I'll try for the next one.

Next one is tomorrow night @ AT Whalley in Auburn 🙂 Though I will not be there.

Hah... nope can't make that one.

Now you are just getting silly.

@thwr said in storvsp.sys - Hyper V question:

But, TBH, do we have such a List for GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOS?

MacOS, no. Proprietary and gone since the 1990s.
Mac OSX, no. Proprietary and not that documented.

my bad

Linux and BSD, yes, because open source is natively documented by definition.

For the most part, yes. Just a little example: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/w1/slaves/w1_therm

Could you tell from just looking at this file how exactly a virtual sysfs w1-therm temperature data file or even the virtual file structure looks like for a DS18XXX sensor? I had to try it the hard way, because there was no such documentation a year ago.

That's just one simple example. I know, I could (and probably should) improve that on my own...

Spoiler:

cat /sys/bus/w1/devices/28*/w1_slave 62 01 ff ff 7f ff ff ff 91 : crc=91 YES 62 01 ff ff 7f ff ff ff 91 t=22125

@thwr said in WD Blue PC SSD:

Couldn't find a good English source, but this German Golem article explains that WD blue is based on planar 15nm TLC cells from Flash Forward (joint venture: Toshiba & WD) and uses a Marvell controller. This combination isn't new, just take a look at the SanDisk X400.

It looks like the WD Green SSD uses the same cells, but another controller from Silicon Motion which does not even have a cache, making it a poor choice in most cases.

So yes, it's just rebranded with a slightly modified firmware.

I think this pretty much answers my question. Thanks!

My pleasure

I maintain SA on my servers, CALs and until next year Office. I'll be dumping Office for O365 next year ( I hope) Staying current is what I consider worthwhile.

Sure we stay current.. but for example office was release every three years (2007-> 2010 ->2013 - >2016) It was cheaper to buy new outright than to use SA.

For RDP connections: https://terminals.codeplex.com/

For VNC connections: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vncaddressbook/

Terminals is ok... still has it's quirks too. Seems like literally every RDCM software does though. 😐

What kind of quirks do you notice? I've never noticed any with Terminals and I've been using it for several years now (and it's continually in development). You've definitely piqued my interest now :D.

Copy & paste doesn't work Window resize has a chance to crash the connection Connection handling like dafyre said

What Antivirus do you use, @thwr ? I have to specifically allow some apps to be able to copy & paste in Webroot.

Sophos, it's not causing this.

@coliver said in how to know which active directory is primary and secondary?:

If you're looking at who holds the FSMO roles you can use this powershell command.

Get-ADDomain | Select-Object InfrastructureMaster, RIDMaster, PDCEmulator

I don't get why people insist on only using PowerShell to query things that can be more quickly queried with something like this:

netdom query fsmo

Am I missing something?

Because Powershell is kind of where Windows management is moving. I get that it could be done another way but the future of Windows Server is powershell.

This functionality is coming soon ™ to a Sharepoint near you. I saw it on the roadmap a few days ago.

A really nice thing about XO is you can import and not power on.

So you can remove the NIC and then power on. If it works, you know you're in good shape.

I have been patching Windows 7 machines that haven't been turned on for a few months and have found that the update process takes an age of man to complete without manual intervention. (local WSUS)

Fortunately, I have found a process that's worked to speed up the update process.

Download and Install the latest Windows Update Agent
-- here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/kb/949104 Run MS Windows Update Diagnoistic tool
-- here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2714434 Install Windows6.1-KB3172605-x64 (post install reboot required)
-- here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53332 run wuauclt /r /a

That is way too intense on IT staff time.

Click check for updates. Close window and tell user to work like normal. Next morning, click install. Close window and tell user to work like normal and when it pops up to reboot, do so.

Way less IT time involved.

Yes, this is true but it can be done while doing other things on the PC. You know, multitasking 😉

@Dashrender said in Update your iOS devices. This flaw is a doozy.:

What is your driving feature(s)?

Not what I have 😛

I want Windows 10 Mobile to be stable, supported, and have a thriving app ecosystem with all the major apps. And a pony.

Now that that is out of the way, I like the consistency of iOS, but I don't like iOS. iOS X is light years better from a UX perspective imo than iOS 9 was, but there are still niggling little things that annoy me. And Apple irritates me on so many levels, and that irritation is only exacerbated by managing a network that is 95% Mac.

I don't know Android well enough to know what I want there, but I dislike what Samsung has done with their bloat ware. I was looking at Nexus for my WP replacement, but Alphabet chose to kill that in favor of a flagship that is more aimed at a consumer, than creating a clean experience (I'm guessing, not having used a Pixel).

OnePlus 3 looks promising. If I had to choose today it would probably be one of these.
