What view are you using? didn't know there was more than what I was seeing...

I almost exclusively use the unread or recent view.

@Dashrender I mean are we really suggesting that they are stuck in the 90s rather than ripping him off?

Sadly - Yes. It's probably a combination. But they haven't looked at updating their process. They are an HD recovery factory. They want to deal with HDs.

Also, it's probably pretty rare for someone to only have 8 GB of data they want/need recovered. While as long as it's less than 128 GB, they could still go with a memory stick pretty easily, I'm sure they don't want to maintain multiple stocked devices.

@g.jacobse Time for a sit down with your boss. You need some assistance as you are only one person. If they don't want to give you additional help then walk. No job is worth sacrificing your health for.

Sounds like a file association error. Check this link:

if i'm literally on the road and someone calls i'll use my GFI Max App/Team Viewer to hop on and fix lil urgent issues. (yes aj, i use my phone while in my vehicle, but i pull over).
Speedtest. Let me tell you, teamviewer on the iPhone6+ is actually usable lol

True enough.

That is the HP Business Outlet center. If you only want one, find a Probook in the 6000 series. Get one that matches your specs and get the 3-year support plan, which will comp you your shipping and only cost another $30-40 on top of the cost of the laptop (once shipping savings is subtracted). Their inventory changes day-to-day, hour-to-hour though. If you find something you like, and it's at the price you want, jump on it.

I like it all integrated and together, but that's me.

Can data be retrieved? Yes.

Will it be worthwhile to do so? Not likely.

AD is only down for long periods of time because no one notices. If we were monitoring the AD environment closely, which we certainly need to do but it isn't a priority, we wouldn't have those long outages. It's because being down for a week has zero impact that no one investigates the issues until a convenient time or someone notices because they were attempting a ping test or something.

CloneZilla it is. I've used it a few times, it's not like Ghost or Acronis of course. But it gets the job done.

Got the source system back to about were I was the first time and run CloneZilla on it last night. All said and done, I have two systems now.. just need to run Sysprep to re-create the UUIDs.

I tried using it once. It took 11 hours and then failed.

I'm not sure how much I can offer - it's a protected sheet, we are only allowed to enter some data. But there are 4 date fields and a day calculated from that.

Start Date; Release Date; First date of month, last date of month.

Here is the formula which is in column "K":

=IF(ISBLANK(H5),"",IF(ISBLANK(G5),"Enter START DATE to calculate",IF(AND(MONTH(EOMONTH($A$2,1))>MONTH(G5),MONTH(G5)>=MONTH($A$2)),IF(ISBLANK(F5,EOMONTH($A$2,0)-G5+1,H5-G5),"START DATE MUST BE >= "&TEXT($A$2,"mm/dd/yyyy"))))

Column Fields:
e= Arrival Date
f= Release Date
g=Start date
h= end date
k=#of days formula above

Based on what I've tried,.. the formula works as long as you don't enter anything in the Release date. Once you enter the release date, the #of days drops by 1.

I'm told it works 'correctly' on one computer. I've tried two computers here one with 2010 and one with 2007 and get the same result. count is off by 1 (30 days rather than 31).

I believe the MONTH variable is 30 days. That's probably where the issue is.

I can see that being the case. However: Why would it work on one computer and not on any other.

That is true. A curious case...check for a macro of some sort maybe?

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.

This is pretty exciting. Those new switches look great. Loaded with features. They are not stackable, but they do have 10GigE uplinks in them and they are all PoE!

Just deleted the script and created it again - it works,.. but extra steps.

Back to searching.... going through that document,.. it may not have a hard drive at all.. But I have to make sure.

What devices did you guy from Ubiquiti?

I hate it when offices slowly diminish over time.
