    How to migrate the VM of Xenserver in WAN? This can be as simple as copying the files from one place to the other. VM migrations from XS to XS is very simple. You can do Storage VMotion too. How much time the VM will be taken for the migration process? How big is the VM and how fast is the pipe? This is just a matter of calculating how long it takes a file to travel over the WAN. How to migrate the VM in WAN? Isn't this the first question reworded?

    If you simply ask yourself how this would be done, you should be able to reason out why it will not work. If you have two humans and you need to transfer some items that they own from one to the other and you are supplies only with the addresses of the two people but are not told which items to transfer or even what items they have, what do you do?

    You could reword your question, then, like this...

    I need to copy some files from one place to another but I don't know what the files are and are not allowed to specify them. How do I perform magic?

    This is pretty much where you are. You want to move things from one place to another but you don't want to say what those things are. How are you envisioning that this would work?

    However aside from the setting not being applied there's no actual harm to GP conflicts.

    Speaking broadly, with a badly setup GP you can get delayed logins and other strange issues.

    Not from conflicting settings you won't get delayed logins. Conflicting settings will just allow one to override the other.

    Delayed logins come from permissions issues, trying to do to much, bad settings or corrupt Sysvol and too much WMI filtering.

    We use a lot of Cisco here, I don't care for their routers but I like their switches. The routers are going by bye because we are dropping standard internet connections and getting Ethernet (fiber) from every location in to a colo datacenter and then putting some virtual Palo Alto Router/Firewalls there.

    I don't know much about MS Dynamics CRM but I know from having used Dynamics GP (keep in mind while they share part of the name they are not the same products nor related at all aside from name) a lot there isn't much information as far as training on it either written or video. You really have to learn from yourself, other people and conferences.

    Let's assume you didn't have access to VL versions of Office because you never bought it.. you are just now buying Office for the first time through O365 - do you now get access to a VL image and key for use on RDS?

    You buy one seat to use the key. Microsoft almost never gives you the keys for the "Other rights" or downgrade rights of an application or OS.

    Yeah but that says nothing about this specific case in regards to VOSE rights.

    Just talked to MS guys. We don't even need the VDA since they are for testing we can just use the MSDN Keys and not worry about licensing.

    Assuming you already have a KMS server, you shouldn't need to do anything. The Windows 2008 R2 Server (maybe original 2008 as well) KMS key will authorize Windows 7.

    Yeah the MDSN and MSVLSC are seperate. The Volume licensing is for production and the MSDN is for testing purposes only. Granted I don't think it matters too much what key is installed. We have both accounts.

    That doesn't work when you have a lot of inbound rules as well as multiple Toll Free lines as well.

    Sure it does. You just need an emergency IVR message stating there is a problem with the telephone provider and calls are being rerouted to a backup system. Then dump the calls to a few desginated emergency operators.

    We have lines with a roll over agreement between to providers so we don't have to do that.

    You're situation is a bit larger than most, so those agreements are definitely a good idea.

    Our provider does allow us to designate a failover forward to phone number, so in the case where the SIP traffic can't register, it would auto failover.

    NFSv4 is only for security, typically you want to avoid this in a production virtualization environment. You would want to be on NFSv3 for performance reasons.

    For a server in Paris, looks really great

    Very different offerings but Vultr has a similar server for $.12/hr which is a tiny fraction of that price. Just for comparison.

    Looks like it has a M.2 SSD plus a standard SATA HDD for mass storage is what I see.

    Perfect, thank you.

    I ordered one earlier, and then find out in a NewEgg video that opening the case voids your warranty. Super annoying. I have no use for a 7200 RPM drive or the power it consumes so would love to just pluck that out.

    @Carnival-Boy Yes. But generally, that is negligible. I usually only notice it when doing installs of large software packages (in the several GB range).

    And I believe that you can tune it to do larger leaps so that it is only taking the hit once rather than many smaller times.

    Too bad this doesn't work on windows 7.. https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/designer-bluetooth-desktop

    Looks like it will have to be a logitech unifying receiver. Odd there are so few full size bluetooh keyboards out given that the laptops have bluetooth.

    I am not sure why it would not work with Windows 7. The BT Stack isn't that much different I don't believe. However, being that I am not a driver engineer, I do not know.

    Microsoft themselves say it does not. And many reviews have tried it and it didn't work.
