      Too bad KVM is not available on Mac then I can move from using Virtualbox.

      @scottalanmiller said in Uninstalling Programs (Windows 10) Using Powershell:

      Now, I thought that you had installed this via Chocolatey, not the Windows installer, though. Based on other threads.

      I did install via Chocolatey does that have something to do with it?

      Yes, a lot. Chocolatey is its own package management system. So Get-WmiObject knows nothing about it and can't interact with it. It's not "installed" in Windows terms, it's just "sitting there."

      Actually, no. It is almost always there for windows to see. Because most chocolatey installs actually use the default windows installer. Just with a /silent switch (or whatever is appropriate).

      so by this information, one of the above commands should have worked?

      Not reliably. Only in the case, which might be "sometimes" and might be "often" and might be "almost always", where the one package manager used the other. So no matter how often it works, it's not "meant to work" and works only by coincidence. The coincidence might be really often, but it is still coincidence and not working by design.

      Guest additions are a big deal. It should have sped up considerably after you installed them.

      @dustinb3403 I did what you said to do, then i realized i missed a step, cause i couldn't find the file he told me to, cause it wasn't exactly the same as he put into the post.
      then i installed, and ran that command, just booted my VM.

      @DustinB3403 said in Installing XenServer 7 on VirtualBox - No Disk with Sufficient Space was Found:

      @scottalanmiller Alternatively you can install XS6.5 on the smaller partition and then upgrade.

      This however has downfalls.

      There is also a way to install XS7 on a smaller partition, but Citrix does not recommend it.

      AND WE KNOW TO FOLLOW WHAT THEY WANT! 😉

      @Dashrender Ugh Powershell - Don't even. If I can avoid using it I do..

      The reality is that us Windows Admins need to stop avoiding it. 😞

      sigh agreed... but I protest...

      Hey, getting me to use the Linux CLI is a step forward,.. I know (a few of) the commands now,.. while I just may no recall the context. I was able to find the mount that was at 100% usage yesterday using df -h... so that is a move forward..

      C

      @stacksofplates for HC3 Move it is actually in partnership with Vision Solutions. The full name is HC3® Move Powered by Double-Take®...Double-Take Move being the product we are OEM-ing for that.

      We have played around with virt-v2v and virt-p2v, but haven't integrated them in the product yet.

      @Jason said:

      Not surprising. Hyper-V isn't really meant to be used in that way aside from admin tasks once in a while. It's really meant to be used to run servers/services. Not a desktop you access through it's own console.

      That's why I am not completely shocked. But since Hyper-V has replaced VirtualPC and is being promoted for this specific use case I am a little surprised that getting it competitive with VirtualBox has not been a priority.

      PV support is really huge. Speed, time keeping and stability. This could potentially help a lot.
