Stolen from that link: Go to control panel/services. Choose the mssqlserver service (or SQLExecutive/SQLAgent if they are failing) and then choose startup. Check what NT account is being used. Make sure that the password is correct and check with NT user manager that the account has not been deleted or expired.

If the account details seem ok, then check that it has "logon as a service" user right (again with user manager).

*If this doesn't resolve the issue then try logging on locally to the NT box with the same NT account and see what error(s) you get. *

Not true. What you saw there was 5.5. I was told by @Texkonc that VMware is looking to move away from the web client in the future. You can still use the installed client with 5.5. It works no problem.

In 5.5 the web client is definitely the official one.

I know it's the official one but the actual client installed works as well. They both work, even if the web client is the "official" one.

I seem to remember some features not working on the client.

I haven't had any issues with functionality up til now. I'm on 5.5 and use the installed client exclusively.

It's considered depreciated, and they have announced it won't be updated going forward. The web client is missing a few features that the fat client has is the only reason its still available (specifically they say emergencies only). I'm also guessing this means the free version will be going away with 6 as the web vsphere client is part of the paid licenses. They've actually pulled the 5.5 Vi client from the website unless you have the direct links (http://vsphereclient.vmware.com/vsphereclient/1/9/9/3/0/7/2/VMware-viclient-all-5.5.0-1993072.exe)

I know there used to be (and appears to still be) a problem using OEM keys on VL media. I only maintain an inventory of VL media, and the machine I was fixing needed the OEM media.

When Have you had a problem with that? I keep one copy of Windows 7 Pro 64bit and use it both for VLK, Retail and OEM keys. Never had an issue with it. But with oem key's you need to use the key on the COA not the key windows would show it's installed with, as this generates during activation and will have -OEM in the random key. System builder kits as the same as oem as well.

The windows 7 Enterprise I have is the only one that has to be VLK

You probably just need to edit the ei.cfg file on your iso then.

I haven't tried it in so long I couldn't tell you the last time I had the problem at all. In the end I dug through my archives and found the original install media and just used that.

It maxes out the CPU on the Unitrends device or on the machine being backed up? We give Unitrends all the CPU it wants on the backup machine, so it can do all of the work that it needs to do.

On the client being backed up. Common issue I've run into several times. The link provides an awesome walkthrough about disabling it.

@JaredBusch that should be an easy thing for them to modify.

@GregoryHall
I have Office 2010 and it didn't 'connect' on mine either. the user will have either 2010 or 2007.

I did remember something about open,. so I was able to File, Open, and go that route... Just seems odd that it was there, and then it dropped.

Just seen a nice post on the Elastix forums. Someone went through the trouble to manually compare a 2.4 install and list the updates needed.

http://forum.elastix.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=130440

I think I'll be testing this out.

Installing the update manually

I've been a fan of KTurtle for over a decade. I used to run technology curriculum and teach elementary, middle and high school kids in computer literacy and we used KTurtle. It remains the best Logo implementation that I have ever found.

Back when I ran the school, we ran 100% on OpenSuse and used KDE on the desktop so the integration was excellent.

And it is definitely not running a Xen kernel. Which proves nothing. But if it was running a Xen kernel, like it would on Rackspace or Amazon, it would prove the opposite. You don't run Xen without using a Xen kernel as that is a huge portion of the benefits of Xen.

Interesting, thanks.

Learn something new every day..

Thanks I'll have to try that.

Asterisk GUI is not there yet in usability. It functions, but the usability is just lacking yet.

I am leery of FreePBX due to the Sangoma buy out.

Elastix is only stable on an old as dirt system.

Just damnit.

I've used Cloud9, it works very well. I've been interested in Chromebooks based development. The only thing that gets me is the lack of the JetBrains tools.

I ran through a Ruby on Rails tutorial using Cloud9 awhile ago and I was impressed. They have a good thing going on over there.

@JaredBusch Nice! was not aware of that, so CentOs already switched to MariaDB? 🙂

Yes. RHEL = CentOS.

No matter how small you are, Fail2Ban is an effort only on a system by system basis (so the effort scales as your deployments do) and offers serious protection levels lacking in the base install. It is far easier to configure Fail2Ban than to disable password-based access to a system.
