I have SR2 with retail (NOT EXTRA SPICY) chips (2x X5680), as well as access to dually E5-2670v1 systems at work - how can I help? How can I help?

1. What kind of drives did you use? WD Greens for example are notorious for falling out of RAID arrays and storage pools due to the way they handle time outs. (FYI there are PLENTY working solutions{FlexRAID, DriveBender, ZFS Pools, etc} if you intend on using WD Green, but regular RAID arrays...

What you wrote/corrected is exactly what I orginally meant, thank you! :p

The reason Windows wouldn't boot after re-plugging in the other hard drives most likely has to do with the boot order in the bios. After installing Windows on the SSD, ensure that boot order settings in BIOS are correct(SSD first) Second, I can tell from your screenshot that your 3TB drives...

You reading the same Eula's I am? :confused: Most academically licensed software (at least from microsoft anyways) enables students to keep using said software without limits after they graduate with few exceptions(can't be used in commerical enviroment for example).

Bigger sandbox world than the single shard world of EVE Online? That'll be tough... :D

MDT is not a standalone tool, it integrates extremely well with both WDS and SCCM (or both at the same time!) I recommend MDT with WDS.

The following ports must be open for the AP's and the controller software to properly communicate. TCP 8080 TCP 8443 TCP 8880 TCP 8843 TCP 22 UDP 3478 The manual isn't very clear about this, neither is the FAQ on the wiki, but those are the ports needed. :)...

Haven't gotten around to doing the VCAP5-DCA (going to go for the VCAP5-DCD first), but I remember when I got my VCAP4-DCA. Managing your time, I found was definitely the hardest part about the exam. The questions themselves weren't too difficult, but the remote session itself I found was...

It should work without issue. The only "trick" that might help is after you've mounted the ISO, press esc at the network boot attempt and it should re-attempt boot off the virtual CD\DVD drive.

Is the SQL process running inside the VM or on the HyperV host? Also are you using Dynamic Memory on the VM? If so, how is it currently set? Do you have any reservations or limits set on the VM? It's also possible its bad ram or some other hardware on the host. I've encountered similar issues...

Everyone will have their own "style" of doing things. Some are easier to read and understand than others, but there isn't any real "right" or "wrong" method. Take a look around online and get a feel for how others plot out their designs. Here's a few links to get ideas and inspiration from...

Congrats! I obtained my VCAP4-DCA this past April, will be looking into getting my VCAP5-DCD by the end of the year. I hear you on the question style tests, never liked them, doubt I ever will. The DCA on the other hand being lab-based, while challenging, was the most fun I've ever had doing...

I had some issues with the 2.0 BIOS, and later reverted to the 1.1a BIOS firmware. The on-board NICs ROM got corrupted, lost the ability to disable the on-board SATA ports, and certain settings wouldn't stick no matter how many times I tried to change them(AES-NI refused to enable, same with...
