Obviously, adjust the "1000" if you want it to do it a different number of times. And adjust the "5" if you want it to update at a different interval than every five seconds.

Reuters calls them a cloud computing company? What cloud computing is Citrix even involved in?

It's considered cloud if you can't see the computer right?

At Citrix, it is. Apparently that definition did not win them a lot of business.

I'm using XenCenter and the VM Management Console to access the VM directly. Rather than PuTTY.

So, no not a physical screen.

That's a console. There is only one. You are essentially attached directly to the VGA output. If you were physically sitting at the box, you'd not have separate keyboard, mouse and monitors on a single box. Same thing here. That's not an SSH session, it's actually the console output.

I'm going to be setting up a VM to perform this function for me.

As it is now, I have my ISP, and home router. Obviously I could completely bypass my home router, and setup a VM based one, and then pass back to the router for wireless, but this seems a bit convoluted to do.

I'm considering just putting a pass-through from my router directly to my VM host on a dedicated port for WAN serviceability, and then a 2nd NIC for LAN access.

Any recommendations?

ROFL! FTW!!

We already are using powershell, albeit from the US to an overseas office.

We don't have an IT guy on site for the remote site, it's all Contract Support. I'm uncertain as to why it was fully deployed, rather than a core installation.

"Easier management of the server" was probably the response to the question.

That's it Coliver!

Thank you much!

Here's another question to piggyback off of that one: I know you can use VirtManager to manage Xen vm's but can you use XenCenter to manage Xen without XenServer?

Not unless you modify Xen to add the necessary APIs.

I don't think throughput matters nearly as much.

Capacity certainly does though. if you configured your logging off host though, the issue should be resolved.

The exact can be found here that I used to reinstall too.

you need to link some specific details because their website is extremely short on details.

Can AD not handle old copies? I was under the impression that it could.

The latest version can, but only the latest. It's a new feature that MS just added.

This is my understanding as well. As long as you only have 2012 (and maybe it's only 2012R2) DCs then you can restore backup of a DC without any issues (according to the documentation 🙂 )

Pretty sure it is 2012 R2.

I'll throw another vote in for OwnCloud.

Not for nothing, and I'm not one to judge others.

But I would not want this troll on top of me. Even if I was the last man on earth.

If you were the last man on Earth, you would have your choice of the ladies.... now, if she were the last woman on Earth, the species may be doomed.

@scottalanmiller Yeah... I know..

It was just never bothered with. .. 😞

I'm making a snapshot right now using NAUBackup of my VM's before running the upgrades. As ya never know if something will get broken.

Thanks I'll give them a try.

Yes, definitely, for a shop of any size imaging AND reimaging together make total sense. Pretty much unbeatable.
