Hello - what a great way to start the day - one of our sites has no internet access.
They don't need to be on Facebook so early anyway....
LOL -
OK this one was my fault - but of course the complete lack of basic troubleshooting just astonishes me. Plus the fact that the down site loves to call EVERYONE except the one person who's job it is to fix these issues.
The fault was that I removed a bunch of equipment from the location last night and must have unplugged the cable modem from the firewall while doing so. Plugged it back in, and tada, everything worked.
As for my troubleshooting comment - I have them walk through this equipment every time they have an issue, yet still they don't bother to check before freaking out.
You need some network monitor software to tell you about it before users even know!
True enough!

Good Morning to all!
Earthquake drill today in preparation for this news.

That sounds like no fun at all.

Manually upgrading my Windows 7 machine to 10. I don't want to wait for the Windows update method.

Drinking coffee now

aaaannnnndddd it's done
No issues so far.Although it did take a while for the start menu to become usable. I hope that isn't a recurring issue.
-
@nadnerB I had that problem too. After my first boot, it took about 5 minutes before I could even search the start menu. That was aggravating.
-
Learning something interesting..

-
@coliver Yea, probably. All my apps seem to work, so that's a big plus. Even my old Vanilla WoW install seems to play better than it did before.
-
Worked on Chef and NVM stuff until the wee hours of the morning. So just getting up and getting started now.

Trying to decide whether to continue to get RemoteApps to work from VDI or give that up and just say it's full-desktop VDI only...
-
What's driving the need for RemoteApps with VDI rather than just normal RemoteApps? Bizarre technical requirement of the application?
-
We don't use VDI at all here. It's a cost and management nightmare no matter how much people think it's better. We only use Terminal Servers.
-
Nothing so bizzare, aside from a request from the higher ups. It looks like we will have to have a separate RDS Collection (which means 2 more servers with beefy graphics cards...)
I am recommending that we switch to Session Based Computing (RDP into a beefy server). Some of the Apps require a decent graphics card for heavy lifting (Adobe Premiere, AutoCad, and a few others).

We already use VDI here for Labs and such so students can access the apps for their classes if they don't have a (good enough) computer to use. Right now, VMware is what we use, but our CIO wants us to see if we can move away from that due to the price.
I am pushing for us to switch up and just use RDSH servers... We already have a few RemoteApps available and folks are using them.

Great use cases for both, but for average organizations, avoiding VDI is the best answer most of the time.

So no technical reasons, just someone who heard a term and repeated it? I wonder how often it wouldn't be better to provide what they need and not what they want and just be coy about it. "Is this what you were looking for?" Since they don't likely know what the words mean and can't tell which is which by looking at it, they might never know that you fixed their issues for them.

Some of those are good VDI candidates.
