@jasonlow Looks good, just make sure you have a good backup before you start. Also I would setup the raid before the install... i don't like changing hardware after I install stuff.

I really would like to help... just have not used bitlocker.

@ntoxicator It can write to the drive over SMB. Windows doesn't natively have the driver to write/read hfs+ so it cant access the file system directly attached. Going over the SMB protocol windows doesn't care what the file system is, that is not its job.

@ntoxicator The next server I buy will be from Xbyte... Unless I go Scale.

@ntoxicator I've had Apple's OpenDirectory corrupt on me both places I've implemented it. I dont like it at all. (Granted that was about 6 years ago)

@anonymous I have a pair of Sony Noise Cancelling, they were about $75 2 years ago... great for airplanes.

I hate even mentioning it, but does anyone watch Scorpion? They had a quantum computer in their last episode.

The show is so horrible.. I don't know why I stay in the room while my wife watches it.

I figured it would be, so I never started.

@ntoxicator If that is what you are wanting, I would definitely look at Scale.

Mine is opening in 2016 with no issue

@Dashrender I hope not.

I bought them from http://www.myassettag.com

@iroal It is horrible... its out of date as well.

@scottalanmiller yea, I kinda wasn't expecting a response back from them, hence the post... I think the company actually doing my SAM audit for Microsoft is in New Zealand.

@scottalanmiller They didnt include Microsoft anywhere else when referring to products eg. Exchange SQL WIndows

@JaredBusch I bought barcoded numbered foil stickers starting with 1000

So, the company doing the SAM audit actually replied back to me and confirmed it is Just Microsoft Virtual Server.

These audit forms are pointless, they dont ask about any vm's or anything.

So I was contacted by Microsoft (3rd Party representing Microsoft) to do a SAM Self Audit. Has anyone filled out the Spreadsheet that they send out?

I had a question filling this out and was curious what MLs thoughts were.

One of the questions asks if you are using Virtual Server technology within your environment.

Notice how the V and S are capitalized, so to me that is referring to a specific product eg. Microsoft Virtual Server and not virtualization in general.

What are your thoughts?

Hopefully I would be able to be a ski bum!

Hiding in a bunker waiting for the Y2K bug to kill everyone

Oh man do I remember that. Kids today will never understand what bizarre panic was going on that year.

I remember it, lots of panic.

For the air gun, i think you are going to need one with a small tank on it... you may have a hard time finding a compressor with a tank in that price range.
