Just trying to pick a laptop for a user. Choose an option, wait 20 seconds for it to refresh, choose another option, 20 second wait. Cant really customize anything anymore. Just horrendous.
Every 3 months for the last decade it has been revamped. Now it is nearly unusable. guess i wont be giving them money.

Bought a few Intel 160GB drives refurbished on the egg for $38 each about a month ago. Made an old OptiPlex 3010 blazing fast for office work. Just waiting to put the rest in older machines to refresh them.
edit:
Also I have never had a hdd fail on me at home. At work a few times over the years, but it is rare indeed.

I have not. I might dl it and throw it on an Ubuntu server when i have some time at work, see what happens.

Ah, whoops.
I was going to suggest XOA Free's web interface, specifically the SR view that shows disk details for a given SR. I had a similar issue and that view allowed me to erase the bad vdis accurately and easily in case that person(don't remember who it was apparently) is reading this thread too.

@BRRABill
I'm wondering if you ever solved the 4 TB of data/snapshots/stuff that you had a problem with. That is a lot of posts to read and I don't know where it was in the thread.

@BRRABill
Yes, no issues. Didn't even use the fixup disc option. Took a few minutes to start up but it worked right away

If you use xencenter, moving disks or vms around while using tail -f /var/log/whateverlogs and see what commands and scripts xs does for certain tasks

when I was tracking down some xs errors
as root on xenserver hosts:
cat /var/log/messages | grep fail
cat /var/log/messages | grep error
tail -f /var/log/messages when doing something that keeps failing

Same as above but with /var/log/SMlog
cat /var/log/kern.log

It looks like your apt-get update and upgrade upgraded something to too new a version.
I cant remember what repos xo uses.
Can you roll back or reinstall then try using the upgrade button in xo web?

Is the user preference policy being applied and just doesn't seem to take? What are results of gpresult /r
Do you want to do this for all your RDS users, or are there some that prefer the US format? If they all want UK, have you tried changing the setting on the RDS server, and not just in a user session? I think you would just change the date/time format there to be UK on the RDS(as admin)

One partition at home it installed no issues. Other partition, Sad Face of Death @ 7% I think. Will try that one again at some point.

2 10G ports mobo and a chassis for $1400? Wow that is sweet.

I think it is important to note that the graylog ova is preconfigured to 'just work' according to their site, and it seems to do just that. I will try adding some of my windows vm to this and see what happens later today or tomorrow.

All i did was download and import the ova, then went into Xencenter and forwarded logs on each host to the ip of the graylog server. Here is my sources page

Here is more sources, basically the whole list. I am still quite overwhelmed with the options and config of graylog, but as i get dashboards setup for things and add more log sources i will post them here as well if you would like.

I donwloaded the Graylog OVA this morning to test it out and put it on my XS pool. Just set Xencenter to forward logs to the Graylog server, seems to work well. Xenserver still making local log entries, but i am ok with that.
Xenserver sure does like logging messages. 2 hosts making a couple hundred messages/minute, xenstored and xapi are the top ones by far.

Ah, if that is the case then there is an option to use the NT Offline PW reset bootable iso and change the local administrator pw or blank it. You can then login as the local administrator, and remove the pc from the domain using that account.
That would then require the object to be deleted from AD manually some time in the future. the pc would then also need to be renamed as well I think if you wanted to rejoin it.

You can simply unplug the Ethernet cable, reboot and login with the domain admin login. It then cant check the domain on reboot and should let you in. You can then fix the time, remove it, make a local admin user, reboot, rejoin to domain. done this many times in the past, if I am understanding you.

Or you can get crazy and just install many different desktops to try them out.
Enlightenment, KDE, Cinnamon, MATE, all available to choose at login.

I swear sometimes I am just too stupid. Restarting the CRM server fixed the problem.
Problem fixed in 5 minutes after smashing my head against the wall for hours.

Yes i hate adfs as well. Breathe on it and it breaks. l have uninstalled, removed %appdata% for crm, reinstalled. Same error. I can even get to the discovery service url the plugin checks without errors from ie/edge.
