Just wondering as I finally have an opportunity to grab a decent server to use for my home lab, and would like somewhere to put it.

Colocation America is always an option in Chicago. Of course then I might actually have to stop and get @JaredBusch a drink while I'm around as well.

I'd really like something a little closer to home, so was wondering if anyone knows of a good colo facility in the Cleveland area for a 1u?

Just reading the headline makes me think "Duh, what else would CNN tell you"

I also used the ODT as below

Download
setup.exe /download configuration.xml

Install
setup.exe /configure configuration.xml

Just to confirm, that did work. Have a cookie on me.

I just had a kitkat so yeah!!

And more importantly, any company still buying it shows by their actions that they completely agree that the product is still what they want. So they are telling Microsoft "good job on that decision" with every purchase.

Yeah, this particular client has way more issues than just this, sadly.

The biggest question is why Microsoft has apparently gone down the same road as Intuit and started the whole "You now own this product, but aren't able to actually use it" thing.

Thanks @dbeato, it's downloading now so I'll see if the configuration works here in a few minutes.

Brand new computer. Office 2016 32-bit installed. Go to install Project 2016 32-bit and I get the error "We cant' install the 32-bit version of Office because we found the following 64-bit programs on your PC: Office 16 Click-to-Run Extensibility Component 64-bit"

It looks to me like that Click-to-Run is that thing Microsoft includes with every Windows 10 that I had removed, and came back in an update even tho the computer already had Office Home and Business 2016 installed.

Now it says I don't have permission to uninstall it, even tho I've disabled the "Microsoft Office Click-to-Run Service" Turns out you have to go through the old control panel Add/Remove programs to do anything with it.

So far I've found no solutions that actually get both Microsoft Office Home and Business 2016 AND Microsoft Project Pro 2016 installed on the same computer at the same time

Got to my new gig early. Waiting in car.

Wow, that was a fast start!

Real jobs tend to be a very fast turnaround between interview and hire. Wish I wasn't as familiar with the process as I am currently!

Interesting concept. I like that it's open source, and they prominently display the free version. From the 30 seconds I took to look at it, it looks good.
