xferring my ueb backup vdis to new ubuntu storage server. 60-70MB/sec from iostat, hitting nearly 1750 iops(not all the time tho) according to XenCenter. Still going to take all afternoon and most of the night.

Ive got one hp laptop here, but is the Spectre line, and does not use this driver and has no mictray.exe
Checking all my other hp desktops just in case. There are some using the Conexant audio driver, but none have mictray.exe so far.

This issue is fascinating.
Here is an article from Citrix, the answer is probably here, though at this time it is a bit over my head.

This discusses coalescing, and reasons for failure and steps to troubleshoot and fix the coalescing issues.
There seem to be 8 possible issues for this happening automatically.
/var/log/SMlog probably has more info about the problem according to this.
Also, are you able to move the SR(which will automatically get rid of ss chains) or export the vm and delete it, then import it?
I also think that any of these solutions require you to have sufficient free space on the SR.

On Topic: Live streaming would be great. If i cant make it i will put money in for this.

Youll be even happier when Get Office reinstalls every time you do a windows Update. Then it pops up in notification area every single time you logon/reboot.

@scottalanmiller Conexant, HP could argue both are industry experts. Conexant sells millions of copies of their hw/sw combo for OEMs every year. Have done for years.
HP has been around for 60+ years selling hw/sw as an OEM.

You can also throw some io at a disk by copying a large file or lots of small files to a vm(do it twice at the same time if you want to see if you max out) to test your iops. Or reboot a few vms at the same time. My storage array hits 1500 or so before it starts to peak, iirc from some tests i did back in the winter. Though i do wonder if some of that isnt bound by us using a Gb network rather than 10Gb.
This shows the last ten minutes of iops for all SRs attached to my XS001 host. The purple iscsi3 is an SR; i booted a vm that lives there that nobody ever uses.

I was going to get a tshirt with my avatar printed on it. No real name

Nope. I think probably it was easy because we were running a hybrid environment, never went all in.
I just changed DNS records and deleted the connectors at Exchange Online and in house. Then ran the Convert-msoltostandard ps commandlet. Then turned off claims based authentication for our Dynamics server as well.(forgot about that initially).

@Breffni-Potter The entire military depends on communications with each other. Of course they are accessible from the outside. In fact, probably wide open given that they are using 20 year old OS.

Always good to see this info every quarter, thanks again!

@RamblingBiped
Yes, but you may want to use - instead of ~
a ~ is a softfail, will still allow messages through, just shows up as SPF failure in email headers.
a - is hard fail, shuts those spoofers down.

@DustinB3403 Right, the queen of England even says they are safe when out in open water. So they probably have Windows Firewall disabled.

I am not close either. But i also dont work for Amazon or Microsoft, the two largest IT employers in WA, and who give money away like it was going out of style.

How many meta games this year?

Burrito Tinga (spicy smoky chicken) from the food truck next to the Rickshaw restaurant at the corner of 105th and Greenwood. Dude makes killer burritos.

There's also the possibility that since they just dont give a shit about security, how many people are rolling their own wifi there on the same network critical systems are on? How much shadow IT is on these ships? Probably nightmare scenario amounts.

Yes, if the spoofing host is sending email from an address that isnt included in spf.google.com and you have hard fail on, that message should be dropped by the receiving email server when it does its spf check. Softfail leaves it up to the discretion of the receiving server, but usually will just tag the message with Softfail and deliver it.

Thats why I use the dark theme.
