My oldest daughter delivered a 9 lb. 6 oz. boy last night.
We're on our way to meet him.
I wonder if he's ready to walk.

Huh? Okay, where in the world has Scott NOT been? That might be an easier question to answer.

Better to ask Carmen Sandiego

My youngest is 28 today. Happy Valent Birthday

So by now, @WrCombs can not only manipulate 4 dozen compressed files, he can also play mp3 files 6 ways.

@WrCombs GF's number, outgoing calls that were actual business.

oh gotcha
Makes much more sense.
I thought you were hiding your number.. LOL

We are leaving her Teams logged in tonight... should be some fun.

Please let there be politicians.

I have one here.
I made the log file read only.
Let's have a little fun.

I had to tag this. It's called AD Nauseum. I wonder if it'll take off. LOL

Oddly enough, after pulling off the cover, looking at the diagram, CPU2 is on the left and RAM slot 3 is the 1st slot on the left of the board. So, in order for the ILO to function, you need viable RAM in the 1st slot on the board. In this device, that's CPU2 slot 3.

The error in ILO was -- Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception (Processor 2 APIC ID .....

Then -- DIMM Failure - Uncorrectable Memory Error (Processor 2, DIMM 3)

Further in the logs -- Uncorrectable Memory Error Threshold Exceeded (Processor 2, DIMM 3). The DIMM is mapped out and is currently not available.

Finally after I pulled the plugs out of the power supplies, and a hard reset -- The installed number of DIMMs on one or more processors results in an unbalanced memory configuration across memory controllers. This may result in non-optimal memory performance.

The server was completely unresponsive. I've never had the ILO go down like this. Fortunately, this was onsite here. It did come back up and ran normally until maintenance showed up with a new stick of RAM. Also, there's two different types of RAM for these units. You need to grab the part number to get the correct replacement.

Like Scott said, ILO was separate from the system -- apparently in the past, this was true. No longer.

So, this morning 4 VMs are down and not responding. Tell them to start and ppfph. Connect to the ILO and ppfph. I had to power down the box and pull the plugs for a minute before it would start correctly. It turns out that I have a bad stick of RAM on CPU2 -- which prevented me from ILO access. Aaaaaaaahhh!!!
So on HPE G10s, a bad stick of RAM on CPU 2 interrupts the ILO. I would not have guessed. I can get into it now after a hard boot. Friggin' BS.

Sorry, wrong post -- VMWare, not Proxmox. Feel free to move, delete, ....

It's neither. It's about HPE speciifc hardware.

@WrCombs said in Task Schedule Failed:

SO Iknow whats causing the issue, I'm just not sure how to fix it.

Windows 11 device, Task is scheduled to start a program

c:\program files (x86)\Parent Director\Subdirectory\program /switch1 /switch2 /switch3 

It shows Last Run results 0x4 Which I find out means "System can't access path/file"

I Changed user, and tried running it again (different admin user) no change, same status.

I go to CMD to see if I can path to it - Can't find path specified - tried writing it a different way (with spaces, without spaces)

Having a hard time understanding why it can't run this program - it's needed to import sales into a different system every day.

The owner of the software suggested making sure DotNetFramework 4.5 or higher was installed and repair it. which it is, 4.8 is installed currently.

Any ideas how I can resolve this?

Ideas:
1- try using single or double quotes around the path, simple way to get the "proper" path is sometimes to use tab-completion

2- if the above doesn't work, maybe try having your scheduled task call a batch or .cmd file (or powershell) which invokes the executable

Quotes around the path and working directory. Yes

Just had a good sized scorpion trying to get into our house. I killed it with a shoe.

A claw hammer works too.

Only if you can throw it. Don't want to risk anything it could climb up to get back to me

When the wife and I were living in Hallendale, I found one on the patio, one in the living room and one in the driveway (over several years). My claw hammer did the heavy lifting. I wasted more than one good set of hotdog tongs on them. Big and black, like right out of an episode of Columbo. Ghah!

Watching Little River Band Classic lineup YouTube videos.

This may help..... I'm using Vivaldi, a Chrome based browser.

YouTube videos and Jitsi sessions both give me issues. By experimenting, I've found that my bluetooth device and I'm sure, Windows causes all kinds of grief with the audio/video of things. I don't use wired headphones.

I now make sure that my bluetooth device is connected before I open the browser. I also open the sound mixer and choose the bluetooth device as the audio device that's desired for use. Sometimes I change the device in the sound mixer after I have it connected and the browser is opened. It may be listed more than once in different roles, ie as a device with a microphone.

Mess with these settings. It may clear up for you.
