If you haven't, make a specific AD account for the TFS server and let it run under that account and see what happens?

That's the plan, well not a specific one. we have a service account and it should have been setup that way but it was not, now I have to deal with the issues. It will have to wait til tonight when no DevOPs are doing anything to check it.

@PSX_Defector I have narrowed it down to the Persistent Reservations. This is a Nimble Storage system, and I believe that can be en/disabled per lun. AFAIK, this will be the only Windows Cluster accessing the Nimble systems in a Failover Cluster, so they probably don't have it enabled.

And yes, everything is in the same DC. Most likely in the same rack, lol... and no, not doing anything fun with iSCSI over the WAN.... although that does give me an idea, for new things to try on my own servers, lol.

OK more digging this morning and I found this.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cbowen/archive/2015/05/12/internet-explorer-9-pinned-site-shortcuts-vs-internet-shortcuts.aspx

Basically starting with IE 9, MS introduced Pinned websites vs Internet Shortcuts.

To create the classic internet shortcut, hold down the shift key while dragging the icon to the left of the URL out of IE to the desktop when creating a shortcut.

So yeah I ran the Disk Cleanup tool on some of them. We have approx 14 servers with less than 10GB left on the C Drive (which is only the windows install, nothing else all 40GB).

Anyway the tool sometimes caused them to have less disk space free after it ran. for example an application server went from having 1.8GB free to having 215mb free after running disk cleanup and the superseded cleanup stated here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/joscon/archive/2011/02/15/how-to-reclaim-space-after-applying-service-pack-1.aspx

Haven't had any startup issues using them in Linux VMs.

The APs pull their firmware from the controller. So they either get downgraded or upgraded based on the controller version.

Have you seen the new price increase on LMI? We've been told it is more than doubling with the next re-up. Ours was going to jump from $1500 to $3700!! All while going from rock solid to unable to stay connected.

That is a nice idea and implementation

How about temporarily opening it when you need to run updates?

So the service is nothing but the GUI, as expected. 🙂 Thanks for verifying. Nice to know for sure I'm not crazy from time to time.

I deal with enough servers at work these days, I don't care to have any at home.

"Have you tried turning it off and back on again?" 😉 Tee hee.

Ha, beat you to that one 😛

Office 365 does provide downgrade rights.

I haven't seen how you actually use it though.

As long as the rights exist, I am pretty sure that you just get the installation media from another source (VL, for example) and install that way and either sign into O365 or track the licenses manually. They provide the rights but don't make it easy or encourage it.

Hmmm... we have an IBM server that does exactly that. Restarts as soon as power is restored. It has been tested fairly regularly as we don't have the best power infrastructure in upstate NY.

In central NY that is. Here in Frankfort where I am today the power is outstanding and in the Buffalo/Niagara grid it is really good. But outside of local generation pockets, the center of the state is the area where it is roughest.

It seems that anything "Gamer" related has it installed.
http://www.asus.com/au/Motherboards/B85PRO_GAMER/

It's generally easy to sell to gamers based on slick marketing and the market's desire for performance above all things often means that they have short memories and don't hold vendors accountable for bad behaviour. So the risks to Asus are low, in a year no gamer will care and Asus can do this again. One of the many risks of dealing with consumer grade equipment.

Found it.
First run the iptables entry
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -j SNAT --to xxx.xx.xx.xx

Then run sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent, and follow the prompts. When it asks to save the current rules, hit "Yes" at both prompts. Now, on reboots, your iptables rules will be restored.
All done, working fine! 🙂

There has been talk about using a chat function at my office in the past, but in the same breath it was mentioned how catty all the women there (by the boss, who is a woman) and pretty much dismissed.

Furthermore, our EHR recently enabled global chat as well, so we'd probably use that instead.

Whether any link to download and extract in CD ?

I dont have internet connection for that server now but i need to install the GUI desktop package only through CD or pendrive now

Just the main Ubuntu website.

Yes, mine started now, but they still have the works going on.
Droplet action events are temporarily disabled in our LON1 region.

Exactly, how do you know you were hacked? Unencrypted Kerberos packets can be used in an offline attack to crack a password, but if you're using a strong enough password this would take to long.

So first things first, I'd say use a better password, but if you're still worried about it, do as @scottalanmiller suggests and upgrade and encrypt your authentication traffic.
