I agree that it's nothing more than myself boxing myself into incorrect assumption (something that most of us do) - Hey this is GUI-less, therefore anything that requires GUI interaction (at least for install) won't work.

Many Linux installs (not mine, but many) have the GUI libraries there but no GUI running. Meaning that the code is around but the services don't run. So the attack surface remains small and the CPU and memory are not being used unnecessarily but if you need to fire something up with a GUI, you can.

In the Linux world, we do "minimal" server installs and don't install those libraries. But lots of people go for more bloated installs that have that stuff there.

Yeah I've done it before. It just resorts your default policy. It doesn't affect your other gpos

@olivier said in XenServer Export Performance Seems Poor:

You can create a basic backup schedule and de-activate the compression, then run the job manually. You'll have an export without compression.

When I was running my test, it seemed the exporting directly from XC was quicker than running a one time backup from XO of the same VM to the same location. The export of a small VM (I set it up just for testing this) was about 6 minutes, and the backup was 13.

But it sounds like what you are saying is that it should have been the opposite.

Updated.

Some systems that have had snapshots for as long as I can remember...Solaris, AIX, BSD, Linux, HP-UX and, at some point later after we had been long mocking it for lacking them, Windows. Mac is not enterprise and might have it, but I have no idea. It did at one point via ZFS but might have reverted and lost that functionality.

@nadnerB Well Steve Gibson's website GRC.com was down for around 2 weeks while someone was DDOSing him. But to the best of my knowledge he's never admitted to having his server hacked.

Not really much use for them.. neat but not that useful, more likely to block RF if you put it where the boxes would be. And given this has a switch in it too more likely to fail from heat build up.

When I saw them they were using a hotel as an example. Each room could have its own wifi access that would be turned on and off for guests.

And they have PoE out for the desk phone in the room.

I just found this tool

It does work as advertised - it will launch a file that is set via compatibility mode with Admin rights. The UAC prompt still kicks, but that's tolerable.

When my dad retired from the US AirForce I guess you could say he screwed himself. You retire with full benefits at 20 years. you get no bonus for working more than 20 years, other than if you are making more money after 20, then you retire at the whatever that pay was. He retired at 25 years. I suppose the argument could be that he could have retired 5 years earlier making the same or even more than he was in the service, AND receiving his military retirement pay.

Yeah, he more or less worked for free for five years, I would guess.

Why do you say that? I'll give you that he worked for only 50% because military retirement is 50% pay. He was able to take major advantage of the situation though.. those 5 years were spend running the skeet range on base for like 15 hours a week at full pay. The rest of the time he worked off base at another job. So for him, he earned half is old pay for 15 hour instead of 40 in a super easy job on the range. lol

Tiger Direct. now PCM for business or something. or amazon

@johnhooks On a non-running VM, there's a "clone" option where you can choose either fast clone or full disk copy.

I feel like such a moron. That's such an obvious place and I didn't even notice it. I've just been using the regular copy function like a dolt.

On a somewhat unrelated note, thanks for getting me to look at the /var/log directory on the XenServer here. Had a bunch of old logs clogging things up (500MB on the tiny little root partition.) Moved those off to my workstation for now, probably need to take some time and see what's going on.

Glad my freak out could help ya out 🙂

Here's another option someone else found.

@VivekSharma..

i too was installing the client access on win 7 32 bit, it work perfectlty, but when installing on windows 7 64 bit got the error XCOPYFILE-2 error, each time on every machine win 7 64 bit, so then to be able to installed the client access, i’ve put the windows 64 bit on safe mode, on an administrator account, then start the client access on compatibility mode, win xp sp3, and start the installation, and the program install corectly, then restart the computer in normal mode, and use the client access.. it works without any error. on every machine.

Well this might have worked in WIn7 x64, but does not in Windows x64

If I have 50 users, but 75 computers and I want Office on all PCs, I need 75 licenses of FPP or VL.

Yes, Office I guess comes in all kinds of license models. With O365 it is by user with at least five devices for each user.

Yeah, the standard docs said it was "by user" but were not super explicit. I can see where someone would make the ephemeral argument that it is not a "named user" but is a "user in the moment." But it is very clearly "named users", the CALs are assigned to an account. And each account gets unlimited concurrent connections. So in some ways it is more limiting, but overall it is far more freeing as you can have ten users but thousands of concurrents at any given time.

The app in my mind would be as follows.

On something the size of an iPad, it would be full screen.
It would show one page at a time, and you can swipe it off screen, left or right (and arrows like you see on google photos) to advance to the next or previous page.
A button to allow you to delete the page.

on the back end.

User prints PDF or whatever file type is needed and saves that file to a network location that is unique to each reviewer. The app, based on logon, attaches to the designated network path and downloads the files.

An additional nice component would be a process that grabs all things saved to this location and forwards them to the staff doing the last step, adding it to the backend system.

Medicare discovers that the company only pays like $30 to make the product

Does that include the millions or even billions you have to pay for FDA bribes (I mean trials)?

You mean more doctors who just line their own pockets?

No the bureaucrats who actually make the decisions in the FDA.

The FDA is made up of doctors though..that's why I said line their pockets/.

The Commissioner is appointed by the President. Consumer Safety Officers do the investigations and inspections.

Two of the guys from the big scandal in 89 were just chemists, but are still public employees (so it doesn't matter whether they are an MD or not).

I'm just old fashioned that way. And for us IT people, it's fine. we understand that there can be more on the screen that what is shown.

However, for end users , the scrollbars need to be there by default and let the user turn them off.

Such as the what are you doing right now topic...

Why is that better in the chat than on the thread?

It's so long it's hard to load. It's not technical in nature for the most part. And no one cares that you ate a slice of pizza three years ago.

Loads instantly here, are you not paginating?

I use infinite scroll and I have no real problems with those threads.

super tall pictures occasionally give issue on iOS,

Thanks! Free is good and this is something I would like to review. I am currently the only one running 10 Enterprise in my company and I am waiting for some things to get sorted out before I consider replacing all of our Windows 7 systems with it.
