    Don't really see bandwidth bottlenecks around here. I never saturate my lines.

    Looks like I need to upgrade to iCloud Drive from iCloud.

    Currently there are only backups in my iCloud, the pictures aren't synced to iCloud Photos, from what I can tell.

    Exactly. I totally see why it is done. You just wrote out "confusion" in a really lengthy way. I never said that I didn't understand, my point was that I did understand and I was stating why.

    Yeah we have a couple other clients who have used them and never had an issue. The one particular customer needs and exorcism of their environment everything that can possibly go wrong will. NexVortex is just in a long line of things right now.

    Honestly it seems like a good idea. If I get my files encrypted it's nice to know that the actual person who did it is the one contacting me and to know that the process is actually reversible and that everything wasn't just scrambled.

    How about for building a system image that you intend to deploy later using SmartDeploy, etc.? We use VMWare Player to build and make edits to the image, and that is about all we do with type 2 hypervisors.

    Good example.

    There is a very high possibility that the IP it was operating on was the iDRAC's IP. I wonder if the iDRAC console somehow became the active connection.

    That's an interesting thought. Not sure how that could have happened but since the IPs overlapped.... hmmm...

    Ouch. Of course, I probably have to do nearly that much by train to get to a testing center so I am likely in a similar boat.

    Anything "Office" related for certification seems to be in Memphis for me...everything else is up the road at a college or in Little Rock.

    For those interested, NTG now has the Drobo B800i iSCSI SAN being used as a datastore for a XenServer cluster in the NTG Labs.

    @scottalanmiller well, no one said it's a one size fits all :p. To keep within our requirements, that's how we have to play it. 😞

    I understand, you are doing it because some civil servant decided that making a forced insecure requirement would look better on getting a promotion than actually protecting the government. Same way it works here. It's just a form of corruption - in this case, probably some combination of inept, lazy or just willing to be insecure to avoid the same issues from inept or lazy people above them. Somewhere, someone who doesn't understand security (we hope that's all that it is) makes the decisions as an administrator and not as an IT pro. It's corrupt because obviously they know that they don't know anything about security, yet they make the judgement call anyway. Hopefully their corruption is just in being inept and being willing to do a job they don't know how to do.

    That's a lot of pent up frustration, bad experience or just frustration at ignorant buttheads making rules they don't understand?

    Anyway... Yeah, sounds about right.

    That is not the point. Until Microsoft changes their stance, it is not supported.

    Okay, it's not supported as a method, it is supported as a technology (the fact that it is on SD is supported, just not how it got there) but it is what their rep recommends. So they have an internal conflict between recommendation, support and road to achieve that goal.
