So normally I am pretty good at fixing anything on a PC but I'l be damned if I can figure this one out. My parents have an HP Elite desktop (which I also have and mine works great) loaded with Windows 8.1 that cannot see the DVD burner. The BIOS sees it just fine and can even boot to it using...

So we upgraded our Exchange 2007 environment to Exchange 2013. So a few things we found out, Exchange 2013 is not supported on 2012 R2! When upgrading domain domain controllers to 2012 R2, you need to run Schema Prep, Domain Prep and AD Prep again. Exchange 2013 will be supported on 2012 R2 when...

So Friday night I uninstalled a few useless programs from a shares server. I uninstalled Syamantec Anti-virus (which had been disabled,) some software for our old phone system and I rebooted the server. After the reboot I couldn't get to the shares via IP address which I have being pushed out...

Just wondering if anyone had a script or a way to save the configuration set up on ESX 3.5 enterprise. It would be nice to save those in case of a complete melt down of an ESX server. I have the config documented so it would be some work to get back but not impossible. I am just looking for...

I have a Dell PE2950 with six 300 gig local drives with the free ESXi version loaded for 1.3 tb of space. I added a 6tb Dell MD1000 drive array to the server and initialized the drives. When I try to add the drive to ESXi, under config, I click on Storage then "Add storage" then Disk/LUN, I...

Curious, is there a way to limit network usage for one specific VM guest? Back story, I have an Win 2000 IIS FTP server that is always being attacked, I moved most of our customers to a new FTP server with MUCH better security but I have 5 users that are taking their time moving. I don't want...

I am converting all my servers to VMware, so far about 30 of them, one problem I have is that when converting it leaves all the devices from the physical server in the VM and hides them. Then you have to do the ol' "set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1" to get to see them and delete them, one...

This evening one of my web servers crashed. We use JBoss as a server on a Dell PE850 with Win 2003 standard. When I brought the server back up everything was dated June 13, 2008 but the weird thing is System Restore isn't even installed on this box. The newest files were dated June, all of our...

You can read about it here. Now this isn't the enterprise version you're limited to two processors but still, I can't wait for this! The answer is always "PEBKAC!

Hi there, I need a little help. I wrote a batch file to point my antivirus software to a new server, it calls a small program in my antivirus software and points to a new address. I have the batch file working but now I want it to run only once per PC. I was going to push it out with a GPO thru...

At some point next year I'd like to start migrating to a virtual desktop environment. I'd like to know what people are using for thin clients and if anyone knows of one that will do dual monitors. I figure I'd use our current desktops as thin clients until they die but would like to see what...

We have been using Backup Exec DLO to back up our PST files. At one point, when we first starting using DLO a few years ago we were backing up PST, desktop, and My Docs but I have My Docs and desktop now pointed to a server I am only using DLO to back up user PST files. Symantec wants $87 a...

I am trying to find some install config guides anywhere I can to help me get my Core install of 2008 up and running with some virtual machines. MS has a ton of features pages but really nothing on the configuration of it. My first dive into MS virtualization... so far I like VMWare but I am...

My wife has a G5 IMac, she's had it about a year and we bought it from someone on Craigslist. It has been a pretty good computer but about September all of a sudden it wouldnt come out of sleep mode. You'd move the mouse or hit a key on the keyboard and the little blinking light would stop...

I need a new virus scan for our company. Don't even think of suggesting Symantec. You might as well suggest AOL as our corporate ISP. Anyway, I need something that will do server/client antivirus with spyware and adware as well. I'd like an option for a firewall for our laptop users and I need...

I have heard some people say that we shouldn't put our DC's in a virtual world and others that say its perfectly ok. I am not seeing any downside to it, can anyone point out anything I am not thinking of? We have a small/medium sized network, approx 40 servers and about 40 users. A couple of...

We have a 4tb Compellent SAN that we are using for storage. I have a few volumes created on it and one of them is a 2tb volume I was using for some storage as well as our users "My Documents" and it filled up pretty quickly. Well, at least 1tb of the data was just crap we are required to keep...
