@scottalanmiller I don't use Imaging.
I guess I should break down the costs of buying the box without windows and using VL instead. probably a decently close comparison.

VL is upgrade only. It can't be used on a machine without OEM. You buy one VL license to get imaging rights so you don't need to track OEMs. Buying more VLs is for upgrades.

Exactly - Imaging rights is about the only nice/gime that MS has done with their licensing.

You buy ONE VL upgrade and you can apply imaging rights to all computers in your company with that exact same version. I.E. If you OEM licenses are all Windows 7, and you buy the VL upgrade for one of them, you can use the Windows 7 VL media to image every one of them.

There's no point in buying VL for the rest of the computers unless you plan to upgrade them to the next OS. (yeah I know this is the long winded way to say what Scott just said)

Here is the additional log info:

I was going to contact the vendor but today turned into Monday,

Ok, I was curious. I didn't think it was a current feature, but I'm glad to know it's on the roadmap. Thanks!

For site to site I prefer IPSec. OpenVPN is good but for static links I like IPSec better.

Pertino is a full mesh so you want every single device on the mesh. Very different approach.

How many devices do you have?

Sure but is that the kind of stuff that you archive for permanent record?

Absolutely. That way when my wife complains about something, I have an audit trail to prove my innocence.

Even more flash back

Doh...not enough coffee earlier!

For testing I'd go with the manufacture tools, but to exercise the drive and possibly help it help itself.. I'd run a level 4 scan with Spinrite.

If you don't have a XP installation media with baseline SATA drivers in it (all the newer OEM ones did) then you can't install XP on a SATA without the BIOS being in ATA mode. Native XP doesn't know about SATA drivers.

It's a bit of a hassle to make a driver slipstreamed disk, but can be done in less than an hour usually, then you can install XP on the system fairly easily and gain the performance enhancements.

Matching values would be what contribute to a strong and healthy culture.

or making one worse depending on the culture.

I had a NFR version to test out 6 months ago but was buried in work and couldn't get to it before the time ran out!

Who let Matt in here?

buhahahaha 😉

Just saw @scottalanmiller 's comment. Yeah, ditto that Tex.

B&H for the same price too!

I've never used it. I think the max servers I've had is 10 hosts. but some of those were free version and some the paid version so it's never really been feasible for me.

Very cool map.

I just googled "spoint". That was a mistake at work.

Bwahahaha

Cool, let me know how it goes and if you need any help!

I've never used NAV, just the plain old Dynamics/GP. - Which is quite a beast of a system. I've only dealt with it in environments with lots of customization and the interrogator would provide yearly support contracts.
