What is it with users leaving files open from the file server all weekend so you can't reboot or install updates...

I force close their connections.
If they were told, then it's on them if they lose the document that they "spent all Friday working on".

We generally don't tell them about windows updates because we do them so late at night and on weekends no one should be leaving their stuff open (it wasn't any of our remote users). And it's generally less than 10min of down time.

@dominica brought home biscuits and gravy potato chips today. They are actually amazing.

We generally don't tell them about windows updates because we do them so late at night and on weekends no one should be leaving their stuff open (it wasn't any of our remote users). And it's generally less than 10min of down time.

I added a GPO that pushes out a scheduled task to force reboot the computer Monday Morning at 4am.

In your case, do one on Friday evening or Saturday Morning then you know nothing will be open when you do server updates.

Anyone can help me please?
I am installing Piwik application.
I'm stuck on installing the set up of Piwik
I got this error " Required PHP configuration (php.ini) session.auto_start=0
always_populate_raw_post_data=-1

To prevent some critical issue, you must set the following in your php.ini file: always_populate_raw_post_data=-1
After making this change, restart your web server."

I couldn't do that. We have three shifts and normally no one works weekends but sometimes if we get busy we will have manufacturing going on on the weekends.

Morning all - Hope your weekend was good.

What are the licensing limitations on Nutanix Community Edition?

I haven't read up on the licensing much yet. I don't need uber performance out of anything as this is just going to be my home lab, so either of them would probably work well enough. I'm actually running Hyper-V on my home server; I just wanted to see what else is out there.

I've not had a chance to play with XenServer yet either, so I may give that one a go first.

Good morning everyone!

Good morning. Have a meeting in ten minutes.

LOL and come in to a pissed off boss Monday morning. No matter how many times I've asked she still refuses to close out her programs at the end of the day.

She loses a few hours / days worth of work because the server "randomly rebooted" ... Maybe she'd learn her lesson.

Source forge is down after a Storage "fault" on Thursday. They are still down.

@thecreativeone91 Owch, owch... It looks like they got parts of the sites back up... I can't imagine having to restore that much data though. Oy.

Working on some ancient software here. Need to get around to updating this stuff.

Waiting to hear from the rest of the house - They are on their way back from TN. Same drive took me nearly seven hours yesterday due to weather, traffic, blown truck tires (not mine), and at one point WAZE seemed to report a 22 mile backup.

At just under four hour drive normally, full tank of gas, no rush to be home, it was a nice day to drive. Except the rain.

But made it home, mowed the yard before it started raining here.. We are expecting up to another 3inches of rain in the next 24 hours. I see that in California they are getting some needed rain,.. but it washed out a section of the i10, causing motorists to drive hundreds of miles out of the way to get from California to Arizona. Adds to the fires and possible mud/rock slides.

The family is all getting ready to head out to the movies. Going to have the house to myself all day which is nice for actually getting some work done.
