@WrCombs someone modified that page today, too. And they are using a litespeed server? Weird. Not bad, just rare.
You'll also want to check any caches. Once fixed, the caches might hold on for a while.
I hadn't heard of Litespeed.
lol
i find that hard to believe
I don't manage websites - what's hard to believe.
That they can double the max capacity of the Apache web server.

Dealing with all the people We've been telling they need to upgrade to Windows 10 for the last x months and now all of a sudden it's "Well we need to do this"
-
is there a way to tell if a computer is licensed for Windows 10 (currently Windows 7) via a Command Line.

If they are on your domain then I use powershell or wmi for this. You can get literally all the info about a machine using either of these methods.

From what I've seen lately, if the machine has a legit, activated Win 7 license, you're eligible to upgrade it win 10 (same edition - home, pro, etc).

thanks. I got this email earlier :
We are getting an error that states Windows 7 is obsolete and we need to use Windows 10 on another computer. When we bought the system, I was of the understanding they would be Windows 10 machines. I specifically asked about the OS because I wanted the system to last 8-10 years. Then we discussed the lifecycle of an OS is 5 years for mainstream support and 5 more for extended support. Please let me know why we were sold Windows 7 that was released in 2009 which would have made it 8 years old upon purchase in 2017. Please let me know what we need to do to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you, -

I wasn't here when the site was installed and He's been to known to bend what was actually said to something that benefits him, a lot in the past year or so.. Regardless the issue is we have to upgrade them to windows 10. I was able to find the SN on a portal from the vendor that tells what it's licensed for.

@WrCombs license key has worked automagically for me every time, haven't typed in a key at all. Those machines probably included "downgrade rights" to go from 10 to 7 if desired. Which means the 10 license should be stored digitally on the mobo.

Crash course on Targets n devices n paths OH MY!!!
Trying to set up network fail-over for our phone system. Stumbled slipped and fell quite a lot, but I think I got it.
We experienced a power issue with one of our backbone switches and the Fail Over that was "Implemented?" by the vendor failed to fail-over........

Sure - don't even need a domain if you know the local admin username/password AND remote access/etc is enabled.
Bigger question though - does the machine have any knowledge that it was upgraded to Windows 10 in the past so that it can be queried about license status for Win10?

via Vendor SSN I was able to find it on their portal. It was imaged as Windows 10 Base image from vendor then, was imaged to windows 7 Pro at our request 3 years ago.. why? I have no idea.
But lets be honest here.. look at what we're talking about.
