First came the rumors. Then the sale of VMware to Broadcom. With it came a giant stick to the ecosystem’s wheel. VMware Essentials was promptly removed from the online store. The perpetual licenses sales were suspended. The manufacturers began sending it notices that vSphere was no longer a SKU for new servers. WTF, right? In early february VMware (by Broadcom) announced the end of the free hypervisor. OMG. A YouTube…

Back in March 2023 Microsoft quietly mentioned that it would begin actively blocking inbound emails from on-premise exchange servers in order to maintain a certain level of security. Although more or us have moved to the cloud based solutions, if you still have an old(er) Exchange server running now may be the time to read up on the headaches about to hit you. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/throttling-and-blocking-email-from-persistently-vulnerable/ba-p/3815328

When your Mac is configured to use an external DNS server, it will typically try to resolve domain names using that server first before falling back to the internal one. This behavior is normal and is designed to ensure that your Mac can reach external resources on the internet quickly and reliably. If you want to prioritize the internal DNS server over the external one, you can adjust the order…

How do you reset your root password for VMware vSphere vCenter 7 VCSA if it has expired on you?

Has your printer stopped working properly since you last updated Windows 10? There’s a good chance this KB manual update will make things right. KB5005394 cumulative update released by Microsoft applies only to Windows 10 1809 and Windows Server 2019. LINK: Microsoft Update Catalog

I was updating a vCenter 6.7 a.k.a. VCSA recently and I became aware that the root password was expired. Keep in mind that we’re logging using [email protected] so the root password isn’t used that much. Here’s how to reset it (Type in what is in the quotes without the quotes): There you have it!

A few questions were sent to me about the overall market and trends as to bandwidth and capacity. One writer suggested that we had reached “peak connection”. He suggested, now that we all have our phone, tablet and computer connected during these troubled time, that we have been pushed to be at that point of high water mark. In other words: What more can we possibly want to connect? What…

Let’s face it, the RDP isn’t as terrible as it once was with printing. Having said that, there are still instances when putting the checkmark next to the printer won’t work. Update both computers to the latest Windows 10 as a start.

We are all affected by the COVID-19 situation. It is very important to remember when employees start working remotely to not only educate them but also to equip them with the proper tools to ensure better security. As more and more people work from home we are seeing more breaches and disruptions as individuals get used to the new way of working.

Contingency plans Most firms have business continuation plans and contingency plans in place in this day and age. We are in a much better place than 10 years ago. Recommendations for remote access

As you can imagine we are swamped with requests to connect remotely and about the effects of the Coronavirus on the Internet. The good news is the we are all already using a lot of data with our cable cutting and our addition to content.

We’ve come across enough emails to warrant looking into the problem of sluggish keyboard response. It happened to us recently and we had a hard time understand what what the cause.

You connect to a Windows Server share and your Mac either won’t find the share, connect to it, or keep losing connection. Welcome to the SMB nightmare that Apple and Microsoft have created. There was a time when it all just worked. Yes, SMB 1.0. The good old days. Then came 2.0 and 3.0. They are more “secure”, but they don’t play well with Macs. Surely this can’t be! Right?

Well, it’s coming up quickly now. VMWare vSphere ESXi 6.0 will officially no longer be supported as of March 12, 2020.

One of our Lattitude 3490 recently went dark after a Windows 10 update. Luckily we were able to use a remote tool to gain access and determine that the laptop was working. The co-worker didn’t have a spare external screen (or the obvious test) and so we updated the video driver (and BIOS while we were at it) and made sure all the updates were done. We then did a…

So you keep noticing that your network time is drifting. Users are complaining. You should have to keep changing the time every other week. The fix is relatively easy. You need to make sure of the service which does it automatically.

Nous avons toujours recommandé d’installer SQL selon les meilleures pratiques de Microsoft. Tout d’abord et avant tout, vous devez comprendre que Microsoft SQL est un monopoliseur de ressources. Si vous lui donnez 16 Go, il l’utilisera, au minimum, en cache. Si vous lui en donnez plus, il trouvera quelque chose pour l’utiliser et ne laissera pas grand-chose d’autre pour un autre service en cours d’exécution.

So you did the right thing and updated your WordPress site as you were leaving for that well deserved holiday and suddenly everyone sees an error message instead of that great new sports jacket you posted this morning. Usually this is when most of us scratch our heads and try to remember if there was a backup. Fear not, most likely it won’t have to get to that.

You may have encountered a problem where Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 shares suddenly no longer works. I ran into this on a Windows XP virtual machine (VM) when trying to connect to a Windows 7. One day it worked and the next it errored out.

If anyone was paying attention back in 2017, we were victims of the hack at Nicehash. Ironically we started to use QuadrigaCX, reassured with their volume and use of cold wallets. The very thing that has now caused us to lose all of our Bitcoin investments. To be fair, we learned a lot from all the Bitcoin farming and hardware test we performed over the last few years. Still. Bummer.…

Server rooms should be kept dust free and at no more than 20c / 68f. We mentioned server before and still get some interesting questions regarding what makes a great room to house your equipment. Some are questioning why we bother to mention servers and climate controlled rooms now that many of us are using Cloud based solutions to handle what was once on premise.

We reported a while back about Meltdown and Spectre, the two flaws potentially affected most chips used in computers going back as far as 20 years. We further advised to hold off on the patches and fixes until it became clear as to how taxing they were going to be. As it turns out, a fair number of computers were trashed by the “fix”. The patches “may introduce higher than expected reboots…

Unless you have been avoiding all news lately, you have no doubt seen or heard countless reports on two security flaws discovered in Intel, AMD and Arm processors. These, combined, affect pretty much everything built in the last 15 years or so. Without going into all the details, reports appear to indicate that the only real fix is a hardware replacement. The hardware fix isn’t available, so patches and fixes…

Here is the latest information about the breach directly from the Nicehash web site. The security breach: what happened? As has been widely reported, NiceHash’s security system was breached in a sophisticated attack in the early morning of 6 December. Our payment system was compromised and the entire contents of the NiceHash bitcoin wallet were stolen – around 4,700 BTC. Our investigation to determine the nature of the attack and…

As some of you may know we are hard at work on Bitcoin-related projects. We were affected by the NiceHash Mining theft. Here are the answers to some common questions about the incident. What was stolen? Their Bitcoin wallet. All of it.

Ever since I wrote that article about bitcoins, a fair number of readers have been asking about mining and general investment into bitcoins. We’re putting together a new article. We hope to review some bitcoin gear in the coming months.

Just when you thought it was safe to upgrade a Pink Screen of Death (PSoD) is confirmed. If you are thinking of upgrading from 6.5 u2 to update 1 you may want to hold off. This problem has no resolution and was officially documented by VMware on Oct 25, 2017. Symptoms Upgrading to ESXi 6.5 Update 1 produces a PSOD. ESXi host using 10GB NICs

As we tweeted on Oct 17, 2017, a major WPA2 flaw has been discovered by Mathy Vanhoef of KU Leuven in Belgium. WPA2’s cryptographic protocols could be exploited to read and steal data that should be secure.

Exporting to an OVF file results in an unsupported hardware family vmx-12 error. Here are a few possible fixes. I spent hours exporting a virtual machine (vm) to an OVF format only to discover that VMware vSphere 6.5  gives me an error when I tried to deploy it. Error message: Unsupported hardware family ‘vmx-12’ error  ( also applies to vmx-10, and vmx-11 ) Cause: You created the VM using Workstation 11 or 12/12.5…

If you read my posts then you know we’re been here before. The Windows 10 Pro update called the Creators Edition released in September 2017 (Build 1703) breaks your VMs running on VMware Workstation pro 12 or 12.5. It is possible that 11 or earlier may have this same problem. Instead of simply sending you back to my old post I thought I would share how to fix this problem…

It goes without saying that most people have heard of crypto currencies. Those digital “dollars” based on something called a block chain. Allow me to confess that I didn’t pay much attention to Bitcoin at first. As an IT expert and a writer about the financial markets many are shocked that I didn’t “get it”. I wanted to share with others the “cons” I saw with Bitcoin.

Windows 10 Remote Desktop Services Port Redirector crashes. Hanging or freezing isn’t usually. I imagine this problem goes undetected since so few people turn on the remote desktop service on their Windows 10 computers. In this particular case, the problem was on a Dell Optiplex. It started after an update.

Small companies relocate all the time. Many companies appear to get stuck improvising rooms to put the equipment and often end up using a closet. In such cases, poor ventilation ends up causing undo stress of the equipment and bringing some devices to a premature end. I saw one switch that looked like it had partially melted on the bottom. The textured plastic was smooth and discolored.

What to do if the Windows 10 June 2017 update hangs on restart. Some people report seeing the progress go up to 28% or so before having issues. This is usually when the Windows reboot is taking forever. A long time has passed and you’re not even sure if it is still working or if it is frozen. 

Trying to connect a Motorola PocketPC handheld scanner gives the error “because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer. Verify that you are logged on to the network, and then try connecting again.” This is caused by the X509 certificate on the server.

What a Trump win means to the technology sector By Bob Pellerin   President-elect Trump may shake up things in more than the wall construction industry.

It took a long while longer than expected to get back to doing a serious lab trial. We wiped everything and put evaluation versions of version 6 update 1. Here are some observations.

Issue: VMware vSphere Client 6 takes a long time to open and hangs when trying to connect to the vCenter or directly to an ESXi host. Reported on Windows 10. Description: We encountered this problem after updating our machines to windows 10 and our lab server to vmware vSphere 6. The client installed but took 10 minutes to load. It would then simply take long enough that we cancelled.

I updated a lot of computers to Windows 10 recently as everyone else most likely has, and I ran into a bug which prevents vms running on VMware Workstation 11 (and previous versions) from using bridged networking (bridge connection) to the Network Interface Card (NIC). It turns out that Microsoft has seen fit to prevent the addition of services to a network card. This means it’s not possible to use…

Even though the betas were rock solid for us, it appears a lot of people are reporting a rather generic message during downloading or installing of Windows 10. The message, as displayed here, is simply telling you that “Something Happened”. It certainly makes me long for the Basic days when a line number would appear and we could at least look there to sort it out.

Intel has released 12 new 22-nanometer Xeon E7 v3 processors. The power consuption will be as predicted with a range of 115W to 165W. If you need more processing power you’ll find the number of cores going from the low end Quad to an 18 core superstar. These new processors support both DDR3 and DDR4 allowing for a mind bending 12TB of memory on an 8-socket motherboard.

It’s official Windows 10 will be launched on July 29th, 2015! Here’s a short list of what to expect:

Microsoft is continuing their war on the cyber criminals. This week they took down several botnets by taking over domains owned by the well known free dynamic DNS provider “NO-IP”.
