Oh, PowerShell! How I love thee! Especially when you give me error messages despite having

I have also been spending quite a bit of time with KVM. I have noticed a big difference in disk activity between 2 servers that have similar specs and the same workloads - one running KVM and one on Hyper-V 2019. The KVM server is using a lot less resources it seems.
Yeah, that's to be expected. Hyper-V is way more bloated. But cool that it has been observed apples to apples.

P30 has a decent amount of true zoom, first one of its type to do it. It's a huge breakthrough. That's what put it on my radar initially.
Looks awesome. I told my wife about it. She's in need of a new phone.
Oh, let me know how she likes it if she tests it. I really want one.

Better to be frustrated and aware of an impending tornado, than to be dead because you were unaware of an impending tornado. .

looking into why this PC has restarted 30 times in the in 25 days.
this is fun.
events just tell me that its restarting, no other errors before or after and restarts 3 times in a row then it's good for a while. -

It depends on how much longer she wants her current one. She'd use it until the screen falls off if I never say anything.

Oh, PowerShell! How I love thee! Especially when you give me error messages despite having
-ErrorAction SilentlyContinuespecified in the command.What kind of error is it, terminating? Try not using erroraction and use void.
But you don't want to not see them. You need to handle them appropriately. Use errorvariable to handle it easily.
If it's terminating error, use try/catch/finally.

foreach ( $comp in $serversOnline ) { if ( Get-Service -ComputerName $comp -DisplayName "Cisco Amp*" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue ) { $serversWithAmp += $comp } else { $serversWithoutAmp += $comp } }Yes, I don't want to see them :). In the end it won't matter, because this will be a scheduled task. It would just be nice to not see blood on the screen during testing. There are a few cmdlets that behave like this as well. If you curious, this is the error.

Making some changes to the XOCE script as the dev team introduced a new banner at the top of the page that says something to the affect of "you don't get support with the source version".
I've removed the change and need some people to test.
The build fails on 19.04 use 18.04 LTS for now.

Does it continue with the next one or does it stop the script? It looks non terminating, so it really doesn't matter. It looks like there is zero error handling and logging.
Just run it as a scheduled task then and move on if you don't want to do anything more.

me and my co worker were going through calls and he said " i dont want to take half of the calls you do.
You purposely take the harder, more confusing calls, instead of leaving them for someone else, why ?"my response was "
"he is right though. I take the very confusing calls and the ones that require you to actually think rather than just go through the motions , and do little bits of troubleshooting to fix the issues.

for example, I take all of the Windows OS calls.
Issues with Windows, programmable printers, I take the networking calls as often as I can,That doesn't mean that's all I work on, but those are the ones I enjoy working on the most.
