There's a desktop.ini file in mine but no other ones. You might be interested in taking a look at the VB script here, which I've found to be useful: http://www.silentrunners.org/ There is a list of launch points the script checks, notated with which OS they are applicable to on the web site. Je

RE: Houston, we have a problem - SAN Disk corruption

I forgot to list that as a tried option - unfortunately, a test restore failed. This db passes a dbcc checkdb run, btw. I found another db that doesn't and is complaining of disk read errors too. Sean Rector, MCSE From: Kim Longenbaugh [mailto:k...@colonialsavings.com] Sent: Wednesday,

Thought on malware cleaning

Maybe I'm nuts. Maybe I'm sick of dealing with malware. But I have some very simple questions about things I almost ALWAYS see on infected systems. Perhaps someone here can clarify something for me that I have yet to see Microsoft and any antivirus vender directly address. I'm gonna start this w

RE: vSphere 5 - Big License Changes

Windows Server has those types of limitations, too, and have as long as I have been using it. It used to be that you had to go up to the Enterprise Edition to use over 4 GB of memory. It's higher today at 32 GB (Standard Edition limit), but you still are constrained by the software. I am not say

I read that SCVMM 2012 can manage VMware and XenServer. I am keen to look more into this because it will be one management tool for both environments. Cheers Ryan From: James Rankin [mailto:kz2...@googlemail.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 9:00 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subjec

RE: vSphere 5 - Big License Changes

What the Product Managers say and do sometimes has no bearing on real life when customers demand to be shown how to do something that shouldn't be done. http://blogs.citrix.com/2011/06/16/layers-of-cake-ms-office-in-the-base/ Joe Nord and Tim Mangan are two of the most knowledgeable people

Re: vSphere 5 - Big License Changes

That's fab. They didn't put that in the Citrix article detailing how to stream Office 2007 that I was using. A week of my life gone for naught :-) On 13 July 2011 16:52, Webster wrote: > The Product Manager for Citrix Application Streaming is on record as saying > NEVER stream any version of Mic

RE: vSphere 5 - Big License Changes

RE: vSphere 5 - Big License Changes

As a CTP I have access to a lot of NDA information regarding product timelines and roadmaps. XenServer 6.0 is now in a public beta and next several versions are already drawn up on the board. Those are independent but kind of dependent on the open source Xen project. Since Xen is open source the

Re: vSphere 5 - Big License Changes

You are correct, Citrix App Streaming sucks serious ass. I couldn't even get Microsoft Office to work properly in it. App-V, on the other hand, accepts many of the worst software products I have ever seen without too much shoehorning. On 13 July 2011 16:39, Michael B. Smith wrote: > Could that
