I've fixed my problem. I've create a new virtual drive in Hyper-V and chose to copy the content of the physical disk containing Exchange'S database. Done. No database migration needed. Physical disk to virtual disk replacement instead.

I've asked for help in form of paid support, but it was denied by the management. It is now 8:45pm on a Saturday, I'm at the office and I have to do this NOW. There's nothing like learning new stuff on production setups.

Not an Exchange expert here. I have to move the database of our MS Exchange 2010 server because I have to modify (read "destroy" and "recreate") the volume currently hosting it. Can I simply create a network share on a fast server with a fat network pipe and move it there using this guide or...

They are quite lucky to be able to do maintenance during normal work hours. I've spent last night up doing emergency maintenance on our main cluster shared volume to prevent a lost of service to our employees. I've worked from 1am to 7am. I came back to the office a few hours later to finish...

Unlike you, I have to say that the site is pretty reliable for me. I haven't experience many annoyances. It's been quite a while since I've smashed something because of storageforum.net. I've used the site under a wide variety of OS and browsers too. Inside a VM and on physical machines. In...

I've read it too yesterday. I don't use Lastpass, but if I did, I don't think I would be too happy about this.

People will never understand.

I've checked the weight specification and at 4lbs, it's within your limit. Having used an X1 Carbon aside the T440 (haven't seen a T450 yet), I prefer the X1 Carbon. The screen is better and being 1.23lbs lighter, it's much more portable. You do what you want, but the smaller model felt...

The Pro Book are a no go IMO. Way too fragile, keyboard sucks, screen can be bent easily, feels flimsy, etc. A Lenovo T Series would be too big, but the X1 Carbon is a very nice and small laptop. On HP side, I've recently bought two HP ZBook 15 G2 and they were quite nice. However, even the...

I've configured a virtual volume with auto-tiering, using Storage Spaces, on Windows Server 2012 R2 today. I hope there won't be moronic issues like this one in the 2016 version : That's strong, Microsoft. For the record, changing the scale to GB and setting the volume size to the maximum...

Timwhit and Mercutio are from Chicago area. I don't know for Timwhit, but Mercutio can't be called hawk-eyes. I don't recall any other Chicagoers.

Finally, a screen with high-enough dpi for Pradeep!

Congratulations to Handruin, who broke my previous one-month production record of 28.7 million points by raising the bar to 30.3 million.

I've almost forgotten, but it's also the beginning of containers on the Windows Server platform. That should allow much higher server density if well implemented.

I didn't realize that this message was post on the forum. Sound stopped working and the driver reinstallation failed. At that point, I teared the keyboard in half before throwing it in my monitor (nope, not on, in). Anyway, I was about to complain that Windows 10's forced auto-update screwed...

Unless I'm mistaken, deduplication takes a lot of RAM in Server 2012 R2. I hope it improved in Server 2016. I need to find a server to test this.

Well, IPv6 is there and we'll have to live with it, like it or not. With the complete depletion of IPv4 addresses in North America, infrastructure guys like me, Handruin, Howell and Dave won't have a choice but to learn it (already done in my case) and eventually implement it. We can keep...

Somehow, I wish I read that coming from a swinsuit model rather than from a 52 years-old slightly overweight man. The pictures that pop in my mind would have been much more pleasant.

Oh thank you so much! Because having no content for 8K screens was a great source of anxiety for me.

About eight years ago was the time to stop using AVG, when it was already clear that it was inferior to both Avast and Avira Antivir (the other two free AV solutions at the time).

Damn, I hate it when I make mistakes like these.

I plan to use this, if I can find a place to buy it. The door will be almost ten feet tall and it's frame will be built with 2"x12" contruction wood. I'll put two 96" rails next to each other in order to slide the door all the way out of the wall opening. The frame where the rails will be...

I visit two or three times per day, but yesterday and probably today also, I have nothing interesting to tell. My only odd project for next week will be to build and install a barn sliding door. It's job-related. The fact that I'm the one supervising that is quite telling of how bad our...

Me from Belgium, I don't think so. I've met Belges. You'd never confuse me with one of them. Even if you don't speak French. Even before I pronounce a word. Besides, I'll never be good enough to bullshit people to have any kind of success in politics. Neither would I want to.

My pirate name is: Iron William Rackham "A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for...

Keller was in charge of developping the Zen CPU architecture. Apparently, most of the development is finished, but what about further improvement to the design? Keller out of AMD cannot be good for AMD.

From bad to worse : Jim Keller is leaving AMD. Rumor is that he's the best CPU architect they'e ever had. Without him to supervise and improve Zen, I don't see how this isn't going to be another major failure for the company. Perhaps their last, at this point.

Despite assuring people that their Broadwell-E and Xeon EP V4 would be introduced in Q4 2015 just a few weeks ago, Intel has now apparently decided to postpone the launch of their newest flasgship processors by a quarter to Q1 2016 (source). I see this as a direct consequence of AMD's latest...

My name is not very common. I highly doubt there's more than 10 or 12 men with my exact name worldwide. It's not like I'm a John Smith or a James Johnson.

Me neither. My arms don't quite reach the wheel from the back seat and trying to push the pedals with a stick is insanely hard. I much prefer the driver's seat.

The WTF moment of my week just happened. Some f**king heavyweight from the U.S. Department of Defense poke me on LinkedIn to add me to his network. I simply don't see how I might interest someone quite high in the U.S. DoD hierarchy. Even though I'm often mistaken for an ex-military due to my...

I can also tell you that the trunk of a Crown Victoria could hold 2 passengers...period.

It would have been Mark's birthday today.

News source (or rumor source If true, AMD is capout IMO. There's a window that could allow them to increase their market share, but Q4 will be too late. Zen server processors will probably be performance-competitive with either the current Intel Xeon E5 V3 generation, or if AMD has especially...

This is wanted by design. Crown Victoria used to be the defacto cop car. It is supposed to be unconfortable on the back seat and thrash you a little during the ride.

I thought I mentioned this several weeks ago. I've been bitching about it for a while. Why do you think the internet was so slow on July 29th and during the following days? Same thing happened during August's patch Tuesday. Windows 10 is a curse for almost every network administrators on the...

I agree with this 100%. Of all the people posting quite decent time lapse videos on Youtube and elsewhere, I'm pretty sure almost none of them have hardware anywhere near the performance of what you have, yet they manage to create something looking good (event though I find time lapse video...

While we greatly appreciate your effort, you do realize that a laptop isn't designed to operate 24x7, especially one with a powerful heat-generating GPU, right? No one wants you to kill your hardware. Running the FAH client for some 8 hours per day would already be very good. More than this...

It's not so much that they realized it as much as they went bankrupt.

He was already in front of you. And it will take you some time before you pass all the "defunct" members. Especially the former leader of our team, who really is defunct : P5-133XL. Mark's first 15 million points were done on hardware less powerful than what you currently use. When you...

So, about 24 hours into resuming your contribution, September is already your best month ever. Or at least, since I've been compiling stats (October 2010). Your previous best month total was in June 2012 with a score of 73524 points. Your first 6 completed units gave you 87980 points so far.

It is good to have you back on the team. Meanwhile, Sedrosken has entered the team's top 20 contributors. Considering his means in real life (or lack of), it is quite an achievement.

From where you live, he's kind of on the West coast...plus a very, very long swim. Brisbane is on the Gold Coast of Australia (about in the middle lalitude of the East side of Australia). It seems like a nice place to live if you can tolerate very high summer temperature and if you don't fear...

IT won't be available before September 10.

Thanks for the heads up.

It only happens when the GPU is quite solicited. Given how slim the design is, it's no shocker that some thermal compromises had to be made. I would also question the rational of buying such a thin tablet and use it for intense 3D gaming (pretty much any 3D gaming considering the very high...

HA! That's an overly optimistic statement if I ever read one.

Someone else linked that story in the Radeon R9 Fury X thread IIRC. Good for AMD. I'm more interested on how it performs for the FAH client though.

I could hear a hard disk drive working hard inside my Windows 10 system. There wasn't supposed to be any task going on so I pop up the task manager to see what was happening. Task Manager showed no activity whatesoever on either drives in the system, yet I could clearly listen to one of the...
