I worked with Genie9, and they had very good program, but weird name called Zoolz.
And they used Amazon services especially the one called Glacier or cold storage, its cheap cause you can upload files instantly but downloading them requires wait for 3-5 hours, (Ticketing system for every 2000 Files) cause its meant for archiving. however it scored well for alot of users looking for cheap storage.
Other than that, you should look to directly getting an Amazon storage bucket and pay as you go.
Hi,
I know most of you are using IKEv2, or something more future proof, but whats yours thoughts on
PPTP EAP-MSCHAP v2 max encryption which is 128 bits, did it ever get hacked ?
And it does rely on the Windows Users credentials, thus if I made standard user called VPN and made very long complex password for him, like 128 characters, will that help and increase the security of remote connections ?
Thanks.
Not sure if your solve the issue yet, but since you mentioned it boots fine using Hiren
Can you try this :
http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/
Can you boot the VM from it, if so then you can install it as boot loader.

Why use the one article that says use CloneZilla when the thousand others successfully used VMware Converter which is a freeware, just requires a sign in to download and if you dont want to do that, get it from here :
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/VMware-Converter.shtml
I know most of us like to do things using CMD and open source tools, but if there is freeware from the top vendor in virtualization why not use that, CloneZilla was never meant to be P2V. Also you can convert the output VMDK file with Virtualbox vboxmanage tool to anything else, and it supports P2V local or remote target.
VMware Converter is for moving to VMware ESXi, not XenServer. Has anyone tested it for going to another platform? I didn't even know that that was an option.
True its mostly targeted at that, I dont deal with XS alot, but It seems it does accept VMDK as seen here.

I'm certain using Vmware Converter will yield different results than CloneZilla
I think the correct technical term for this Is called is ''Call Hunt Group '' this will help when you search for solutions.
So what do you use instead of Active Directory and pushing/installing msi files remotely on end users?
Hi,
So recently I picked up Docker and learning more about it, all thanks to VMware Photon project.
And starting using Docker in Production and learning more about it, its fun and simple and fast way to kick start web apps.
The limitation of Docker, or any other Container OS is that it can only run Linux OS or apps, but now that will change due to Windows server want to have the ability as well, and they are images here but can only run using Docker in Windows, and currently Docker store have:
windowsservercore and nanoserver
Both are free tier on Docker store.
Notice the ''windowsservercore'' images are 5 GB, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of containers, I reckon once they reach that size that removes the fun of containers and simplicity, I can do the same size with regular VMs, after I wipe free space + punch zeros.
However the nanoserver is interesting:
https://store.docker.com/images/2f0355ab-178e-4045-9ac3-3d7b7e967e65?tab=description
Around 300 MB, but as far as I know very limited roles and features that can be installed.
So what do you think, will they make huge impact? and are you using them in any way in production environment? (specially the nano) and what for ?
Many thanks.

Welcome to @msff-amman-Itofficer from Jordan!
Hey,
I'm Emad Ramlawi, working at MSFF reconstructive surgery project in Amman Jordan.
My title currently is Information System Technician, but mostly referred to as I.T or I.T guy... and basically helping the organization in Amman to move to digital documents format, as well as supporting end users, and maintaining a couple of servers, and the network.
Oh lets not forget the printers, some days thats 90% of my job... supporting printers 
For me, it depends on the clients/users OS. For example if I have an environment full of Windows 7 SP1 users f go with 2008 R2 SP1
Due to I believe that server OS would've been tested plentiful using that client OS.
If you have mixed bag of client OS, go with the latest.
Many thanks Scott for this.
I have stumbled at this site while deploying osticket and found your centos 7 post. So I made an account and currently stalking your posts for I.T knowledge. You truly make very amazing and detailed posts, again many thanks and appreciation from Amman, Jordan.
