Migrate Mindtouch to Hyper-V – faultbucket

Skip to main content. Migrate Mindtouch to Hyper-V. March 4, 2015. January 7, 2015. My Mindtouch Core wiki VM was originally running on VMWare server a long time ago. I needed to migrate this to Hyper-V so that I could decommission my use of VMware. I originally wrote this post more than 2 years ago, but am publishing it now in case someone finds it useful. Used vmdk2vhd to convert the disk to VHD file. After transferring and booting, it failed. Mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /root. Change sda1 to hda1.

Skip to main content. High Resolution Photo in Lync for Office 365. March 23, 2015. February 4, 2016. My organization uses Office 365 for Exchange and Lync service, although Lync has recently been set up as on-premise. For a while now the low-resolution photo of Lync has been bothering me, so I set out trying to find a way to use a high resolution photo instead. Microsoft allows a 648×648 photo to be stored in an Exchange 2013 mailbox, which is then used for Lync. Install the Azure Active Directory Module.

Customer Service Tip – faultbucket

Skip to main content. May 12, 2015. I’ve been trying to work with my ISP (Shaw Business) to sort out why I cannot use two static IPs at the same time. The technician I spoke to this morning informed me that it’s as simple as modifying a setting on the modem that was originally missed. As this was described as a disruptive event, I decided to wait and call back in the evening. The tech also said he’d put a note on file so that when I call back it is clear what I need done.

Skip to main content. Radgrid load empty on Page Load. March 17, 2016. March 10, 2016. I spent way too much time finding a resolution to this issue, but I finally found an ugly way to do it so hopefully this helps someone else. I’m doing a simple data load with a RadGrid from an SQLDataSource. However due to the nature of the page and data the initial grid is populated with over 1000 records and performance is terrible. Here’s what I ended up with:. Telerik:RadGrid ID="rgd ComplianceEdit" runat="server" ...

Skip to main content. Skype for Business indicator using Particle Photon. September 25, 2015. September 25, 2015. I use Microsoft Skype for Business (formerly Lync) extensively at work and utilize a headset while doing so. This combined with the fact that I recently moved into an office at work as opposed to a cubicle led me to wanting a physical indicator of my Skype presence so that people walking in could know my status. I briefly investigated pre-packed indicator devices such as the Embrava Blynclight.

Skip to main content. Commvault and Hyper-V – my experience. February 29, 2016. June 14, 2016. While it is quite simple to find many people talking about Backup Exec and Veeam online, it is much more difficult to find anecdotal experience with Commvault Simpana. Having recently been part of an implementation in my company, I thought I would share my own opinions, particularly as it relates to a Hyper-V environment. These are my personal views and do not represent my employer in any way. Thought to invest...

Skip to main content. DWG icon in Windows Explorer missing. July 28, 2016. I finally resolved a long-standing issue for one user that was minor but quite annoying. At some point the icon within Windows Explorer for DWG files stopped appearing; instead it gave the odd image when an icon is assigned but not found. There had been many attempts to reset this using the “Open With” dialog, and the File Associations within Windows, to no avail. Next I turned to the FileTypesMan. Deploy VPN connection remotely.

Skip to main content. Disk Monitoring with CrystalDiskMark and SQLIO. March 11, 2015. January 7, 2015. Note: I originally wrote this in 2012, and cannot even remember why I didn’t publish it. Hopefully it is useful as-is # #. I’m on a bit of a monitoring and benchmarking kick lately and have recently gathered some information on my environment regarding storage. I wanted to see a comparison of something low-end, my legacy storage, and our existing production storage. The biggest thing was the limit of IS...
