    deleting all snapshots vs one at a time

    Deleting/Committing Snapshots, when large can stop I/O, meaning if this is an Exchange/SQL DB the system may incur a brief outage while the snapshots are removed.

    Network pics thread

    Hehe, yeah. I'll try and take pics of a few other locations and what the cleanup will be like. It really is a mess. In the server room, they positioned the back racks facing the back of the first row, so hot air from the front row is blowing into the back row and those servers are just...

    Oh no, I think I messed up at work (Networking/Server gurus please help :( )

    I can honestly say I probably wouldn't hire any of you; such a simple task yet so many of you turn it into a complex one. I can tell none of you follow MS best practices and suggested methods for transferring user profiles and settings to a new system.

    Exchange 5.5 migration across domains

    Like all of the others had said, just Wow. Shame on the previous Admin for basically doing nothing except keeping old crap going. Trash it all and start new. There is nothing to learn from doing migrations of systems that old to newer ones. Its a waste of your time.

    Cisco to Cut Workforce by 11,500

    I personally see that being part of what is hurting Cisco; HP, Juniper, Extreme, etc all provide the same solution at much lower TCO. It's similar to what is happening in the Storage market with EMC2, their products are expensive and Dell is under cutting the hell out of them with their...

    Cisco to Cut Workforce by 11,500

    I would beg to differ, over the last 10 years its been one giant bubble building with all of these companies. US government is so fractured and these small groups have so much hate for one another; they're willing to ruin the country just to win more power. If you paid much attention through...

    Alzheimer's: Breakthrough Vaccine on the Horizon

    There will never be a cure to this or any other major disease as "there is no money in curing people," treatment is where pharmaceutical companies make money along with the hospitals and doctors. Some would say that the doctors/researchers working on these drugs would have a moral code not to...

    Courts Say Facebook Is Off Limits To Debt Collectors

    True, you should pay back your debts, however, the tactics banks use to hold your payments and compound your debt is ridiculous and then they sell it off after 180 days to a collector that is like a shark. It ends up that for every dollar you borrowed you owe them 2-3 on top of that after it...

    iPad2’s Used in School Pilot Program

    Here is what I don't understand and was part of a discussion at a education technology conference I attended recently. If its proven that individuals can multitask, however, in doing so they perform those tasks to a lower quality (meaning if you handle more than one project at a time then you...

    AT&T/T-Mobile Merger: 7 Biggest Changes for Customers

    To your point on the 3G phones and requiring customers to purchase an AT&T branded phone in order to get their 3G data; this will most likely not be the case. T-Mobiles network bands will be used for the 4G and T-Mobile phones should support Quadband GSM all the same frequencies AT&T uses.

    2 Domains with a 2-way forest trust?

    The answer to your question would be no, a domain controller can only have one AD domain residing on itself. So, if you wanted to add a child domain or a separate domain altogether you would need a physical or virtual server for each. A DC can be a global catalog for the other domains and even...

    Apple Copycats Another Company's Case?

    Well, the interesting part of the whole iOS name is that Apple was in talks with Cisco about it, but never reached an agreement. So they went ahead and used it just like the iPhone name. Cisco had to sue them in order for Apple to play ball.
