Move Virtual Machines from one drive to another

I'm Microsoft Partner and for test and demos purposes I use virtual machines in Hyper-V (Windows Server 2008 R2 running on a Toshiba laptop).

At the moment I have 6 different VMs stored in an external 320 Go HDD (Drive 1). As I'm running out of space, I bought a 512 Go SSD (Drive 2) and I need to move all my VMs to this new drive. In Hyper-V settings, all the VMs are stored in "I:\" (Drive 1)

I want to be sure that I won't have any problem, so I want advice about the following procedure :

- I'll copy all the files and folders from the "Drive 1" to "Drive 2", keeping exactly the same directory structure,

- I'll connect the "Drive 2" and launch WS 2008 R2 and Hyper-V. All the VM will be with "saved critical" status,

- In the "Computer Management", Storage, Disk management, I'll change Drive Letter from "X:\" to "I:\" and reboot the computer,

- After rebooting my VMs should be available in the new SSD Drive as it was on the former one.

Has anyone ever done that before and could give me feedback?

I tried to use export/import procedure as described on Microsoft information but I got some virtual network issues and my virtual environment (2 connected VMs) didn't work anymore.

Reply:

I haven't done anything exactly like you are doing, but I have done similar. Should work fine. You might even be able to simply stop the VMM service after shutting down the VMs and copying them. Then rename your drives and restart the VMM service. That should avoid the "saved critical" status, and you should not need to reboot.

With the export/import onto the same host, it is critical that when you import you import with a new identity. Otherwise you can end up with some weird behaviors. In general, export/import is pretty simplistic (though I do wish that they gave the option to rename the disk files on import - I do like to have my disk name clearly associated with the machine name by something other than just the GUID.)

The most reliable way to move a VM from one storage to another is to Export, then Import.

You can get virtual network issues if you create new GUIDs and do not reuse the old ones. This is a common issue as new NIC devices are generated and the OS in the VM sees them as new NICs and Windows behavior is to then say "hey I got a new NIC" and set it as DHCP.

Changing the system drive letter will work as well. As only your laptop knows the drive letters anyway.

If you have Server 2012 - "Move-VM -IncludeStorage" works really well.

Hi,

Thank you for your answers.

It's ok, my virtual machines are now running on my new drive. I went through the described procedure, except that I didn't have to reboot the PC doing a stop/start of the VMM Service.

The procedure is good for moving VMs from one drive to another as it's for test and demo purposes. In a production environment, the "regular" procedures (export/import an others) have to be taken into account.

Office 14 does not open documents in edit mode from the intranet location

I have an application where when you click on a link Word is opened with the document displayed. The URL for the link goes to a JavaServlet and returns the contents of document stored in Xythos. The document should open in edit mode. When I run the application locally from RAD 8 the documents open in edit mode. When I deploy the application to the server Word will only open the document in read only mode. I have set trusted locations. The code base is not different on the server or on a local server.

Revocation Checking

We have a computer thats on the internal network but not on the domain and when we try to connect to our Terminal Services servers it says "A Revocation Check could not be performed for this cert" but I have added the Root CA Cert to the Root CA store with Extended Vailidation Info.

The DNS points to the Domain DNS server and the hosts file is configured to resolve the dns names as well.

No idea on what to do.

Our Setup

Windows Server 2008 R2 (Active Directory, DNS, TS Server and CA)

Hi,

First let me know if you can access the CRL from the Win7 computer by browsing the location listed in the cert. Also do you use RDP to connect to terminal services. If it's, the Microsoft has provided the hotfix for your issues.

Best way to pull specific values out of Netsh using Powershell

Hi,

I am trying to pull the subnet and free addresses for each subnet from DHCP. I was looking to use netsh to obtain the information and then pull this in to PS to manipulate, and before I go off down a tunnel it would be great if someone could advise the best approach to pulling back the specific info I am looking for.

The command I am running to pull the info in to a variable is...

$scopes = netsh dhcp server <specific dhcp server> show mibinfo

The provides data similar to the following excerpt...

MIBCounts:

Discovers = 840.

Offers = 474.

Delayed Offers = 0.

Requests = 498.

Acks = 550.

Naks = 0.

Declines = 0.

Releases = 466.

ServerStartTime = 26 July 2012 14:29:40

Scopes = 16.

Scopes with Delay configured= 0.

Subnet = 192.168.1.0.

No. of Addresses in use = 0.

No. of free Addresses = 2.

No. of pending offers = 0.

Subnet = 192.168.2.0.

No. of Addresses in use = 0.

No. of free Addresses = 2.

No. of pending offers = 0.

Subnet = 192.168.3.0.

No. of Addresses in use = 0.

No. of free Addresses = 2.

No. of pending offers = 0.

I am not interested in the info at the start, just the IP subnets and the number of free addresses for each.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Kevin

Reply:

Like this?

$scopes = netsh dhcp server <specific dhcp server> show mibinfo  $scopes -match 'Subnet = |No\. of free Addresses = '

[string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

------------------------------------
Reply:

The -match operator doesn't support regular expression options or multiple matching. But the [regex] type does. So if $a contains the netsh result, then:

$m = [regex]::Matches($a, 'Subnet = ([0-9.]+)\..*?No. of free Addresses = (\d+)', [System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions]::Singleline)

And $m.Count will tell you how many subnets are found. For each subnet $n in 0..($m.Count), $m[$n].Groups[1].Value is the IP and $m[$n].Groups[2].Value is the number remaining.

To support IPv6 as well as IPv4 change "[0-9.]+" in the first capture to "[0-9A-B:.]+".

Harsh but true words. Read!

Taken from: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/windows-8-consumer-preview.html

Now, Microsoft is abandoning the most thriving computing market and rushing into the den of rabid wolves called the mobile market, where it expects to garner some extra points. It will be fighting against ARM champions, almost all exclusively running Linux.

Does this sound like a good decision? Let me elaborate a little more. Would you sacrifice your entire user base in a rich and profitable tier for the sake of a feeble chance that you might hold a small share of a new market segment that has significantly lower profit margins? Sounds like stupidity to me.

OK, let me be blunt. No one is going to write their business PowerPoint presentations on a smartphone. No one is going to design a new car on a tablet. No one will run protein folding on their smartphone. No one will play ArmA II on a smartphone. No one will use those little bricks of plastic diarrhea for anything more than updating the status of their miserable existence on some social network. Mindless drones worldwide will bend over for you, but they will not bring you any cash, because mindless drones earn less than smart people. If you think smartphones are the future rather than yet another complimentary piece of electronics for your household repertoire of pr0n devices, then you should probably go to a weapons store, buy a pistol, buy one bullet, chamber the bullet, cock the weapon, flip the safety pin down, aim for your already lobotomized forehead, and pull the trigger.

It's not the Start Menu. It's irrelevant. Start Menu can be replaced with any number of similar ideas. That's hardly the issue. The fact your entire screen must flip over for simple things like search, control panel or anything alike is the issue here. This is inefficient. This is slow. This is counterproductive. This is counterintuitive. This is stupid.

The best analogy I have for you is the following. Say you're having a meal. There's the table before you, with tons of plates and lovely meals. And there's the menu, which you might want to consult now and then. So you hail the garcon and then tell him, listen old chap, would you please bring me another bottle of whatever, there's a good lad. That's how things work in normal life.

Now, using the Microsoft moronity equivalent, the menu is located under the table, so you have to flip the table over every time you want to consult the menu. This means your entire assortment of meals and drinks is now out of your sight. You do not quite remember what exactly is there, or how it may be arranged. But most importantly, why would you waste time flipping the table over when you could be having the menu resting at your side?

That's what Microsoft did. And if you don't understand this, you should be catapulted to Mars. And if you endorse this nonsense, then you are the kind of people that make me wish for a mega cosmic gamma ray burst any day now.

The issue is not that Microsoft is rushing into a new market.

The issue is that Microsoft is accompanying it's user base into a new market.

If you do the research, you will find that last year, mobile PCs accounted for 59% of all PCs that were shipped. By 2016, that number is expected to be 70%.

"2012 and 2013 will bring significant challenges for Microsoft and the PC community," said Jay Chou, senior research analyst, Worldwide PC Tracker. "The Wintel platform must evolve to accommodate user expectations of ubiquitous computing on a multitude of devices and physical settings. Windows 8 and ultrabooks are a definitive step in the right direction to recapturing the relevance of the PC, but its promise of meshing a tablet experience in a PC body will likely entail a period of trial and error, thus the market will likely see modest growth in the near term."

VeryBoringNickname, you speak the truth and you and I are fighting for the same cause - the only thing expected by Microsoft is the empire they built from Windows 95 - they keep its features and options for the power users who need it and not dumb it down omitting functionality and making it useless. Unfortunately, MS doesn't care. All they care about is $$$ and the dumb users are in majority all over the world, the mobile market is where all the $$$ is.

So this is the reality you have to accept and move on to another platform. Windows is going to be completely unusable for power users while being highly user friendly for our own moms and grandmas. MS jumped the shark after XP itself, with Windows 8, they are just reaching the height of evil, they don't care. Removing useful functionality and what already works and replacing it with a greatly simplified form of the same feature that omits 90% of the functionality is what they are doing with their OS.

Majority of the users are not power users and they don't even notice anything's missing and they understand nothing about what usability means, what productivity means, they just want to get their job done - checking email, Facebook, photos and games. They think that we are complaining over nothing, making a big issue of nothing and they are completely blind even if you tell me what was omitted because they don't need that feature, they didn't even notice it was there.

That MS is ditching the whole paradigm of advanced computing after these idiots because they are in the majority is a real shame but there is nothing that can be done except showing with our pockets by not buying Windows 8. The only thing MS cares about is $$$ so when they don't get their $$$, they will come to their sense and make the "Professional" in Windows 8 Pro live up to its name.

People blindly say the desktop is there still, what else do you want, but they fail to notice the numerous ways in which desktop functionality has been "simplified", removed or outright broken - they are just not capable of noticing those finer things like Explorer status bar removing useful info, Networks pane obstructing other taskbar icons, Start Menu's all other functionality except launching app shortcuts gone. If Windows 8 succeeds, it will still not be a good product, it's a product designed for the dumb masses, the steady and systematic dumbing down of computing that Microsoft is after. Microsoft is on a very specific mission here:

Microsoft's cause today is to keep the human race under control through dependence & deprive them of a computer's workings by dumbing down. The majority of the world has already fallen for Windows 7 - an operating system that I consider extremely dumbed down and taking away XP's level of customization, so you can imagine how Windows 8 looks to me. Crimes of destroying existing functionality are being done under the pretext of "simplification" and then we should pay up to "upgrade" to the "simplified" functionality - eventually if not immediately, because we can't forever stay with the older OS - for multitude of reasons ranging from lack of updates to lack of drivers.

I started with Windows 3.1 and I used to gladly upgrade to the latest Microsoft OS in the very week it came out - I paid for Windows 95, NT 4.0, 98, 2000, even Windows Me, Windows XP, Vista and even 7 - I had no interest in being stuck forever with obsolete stuff but this evil Microsoft management turns a blind eye to our cries for restoring what's removed, broken or intentionally made more difficult to use, therefore I revert back to XP. Windows 7 is for people who want their hand held for every task they do on their computer, Windows 8 is for the extremely dumb people, and Windows 8 Pro is for the slightly less dumb people.

The so called "experts" in charge of "usability" and "user experience" themselves have zero understanding of how to design a productive interface - it's obvious from the toy that is Windows 8 and people suck up to it because they fail to notice how it's flawed. Then they accuse us that we are afraid of change - not realizing that it isn't change that we hate, it's the reduction in features and reduction in ease of use - doing a particular task in the same number of steps - mouse clicks or keystrokes.

Microsoft User Experience team all of them should be fired from Microsoft for designing Windows 8 - if it fails they should have the decency to leave what they're doing and quit. With a great deal of effort lasting for nearly 5-6 years and help of lot of third party programs and solutions I developed with my programmer buddy Ivo Beltchev, like Classic Shell, I have been able to move from XP to Windows 7 but there is no chance I will ever use Windows 8 unless someone wakes inside Microsoft and comes back on the right path of developing PROFESSIONAL operating systems like Windows 2000 and XP.

Well argued; I am in full agreement. The future of Windows assumes OSes that are no longer suitable for power users. The big question is: what comes next? There is a Windows 7 clone in the works and this is a project that should be funded. There are decent Linux distros which with WINE and VM Desktop would be able to support a number of Windows programs until the migration is complete.

One thing is for sure: Power users would now have to pay much, much more for the computing needs both in hardware and software. The moment the mass market disappears, everything will get to be more expensive.

To be honest, Microsoft has the right to throw its current user base under the bus if this would contribute to higher profits. It is not a charitable organization. You and I may disagree on the wisdom of the choices made, but the idiots of the Microsoft executive team have the right to screw up this company anyway they choose.

Were do you even begin with silly post like this. Number one let's set get one thing straight.

"Now, Microsoft is abandoning the most thriving computing market "

If Microsoft was abandoning the desktop market (the one you are referring too) then there would be no desktop in Windows 8. Microsoft is not abandoning the desktop market and the fact that the author thinks so is proof that the rest of the article is worthless.

"No one will use those little bricks of plastic diarrhea for anything more than updating the status of their miserable existence on some social network. Mindless drones worldwide will bend over for you, but they will not bring you any cash, because mindless drones earn less than smart people."

So where did Apple make all it mountains of cash? From there desktop computing line right? Apple has make tons of cash off three little devices. iPod, iPhone and the iPad are extremely profitable product. I'm not even an Apple fan. It's should be pretty obvious that the mobile space should not be ignore. It's not just a bunch of "mindless drones".

"Now, using the Microsoft moronity equivalent, the menu is located under the table, so you have to flip the table over every time you want to consult the menu. This means your entire assortment of meals and drinks is now out of your sight."

Eh? really? Let me get this straight. When you put a menu in front of your face you can still see the entire table behind it? I'm guessing you have some kind of super human vision. Oh wait I get it. You just put it in the bottom left of the table and continue to work while looking at the menu. The analogy is flawed and doesn't represent the new Start Screen at all.

"That's what Microsoft did. And if you don't understand this, you should be catapulted to Mars. And if you endorse this nonsense, then you are the kind of people that make me wish for a mega cosmic gamma ray burst any day now."

I think the author is the one living on another planet. If he truly believes what you have posted here then they are the alien that is foreign to the real world.

You are right, but this is a totally different business model. Apple decided to make money in the consumer electronics industry. However, the consumers did not buy the iPod, iPhone and iPad because they were running iOs. They bought them because of the overall design and usability of the products. If anything Windows Phone proves this point excellently. Nobody bought WP 7.x phones because these phones were so far below their competitors in capabilities. The OS does not matter, the ecosystem and the capabilities of the electronic item do. Another competitor, Google, is really in the advertising business and the only reason it keeps developing Android is for the advertizing revenue.

Thus, Microsoft should not enter the mobile market just to offer Windows on some devices. The consumer electronics market is insensitive to the OS. Nobody is going to walk in a store to buy a tablet because it runs Windows. So far, the "Surface" devices by Microsoft do not offer anything that can make them more desirable compared to an iPad. When both Google and Amazon start offering their 10'' inch tablets, then it would be much more difficult for Microsoft to provide a value proposition. I personally do not see one.

On the other hand, Microsoft should have made a very clear decision to abandon the consumer electronics market and concentrate on powerful computing, enterprise or otherwise. Microsoft could have decided that any portable devices that it would offer, would be directly marketed to the enterprise with enterprise specific features. I said it before that Microsoft has reached the point in which it needs to make an "IBM decision". It should abandon the consumer electronics space to companies far better geared to produce consumer products.

Now, if Microsoft fails in this attempt to break into the consumer electronics market, it would also endanger its hold on enterprise computing. If the enterprise feels that Microsoft is an unreliable partner, it may seek new solutions. For example, the effort right now to create a "clean room" clone of Windows 7 is way underfunded. Maybe, just maybe, several major publishers and hardware partners, may decide to fund it fully. Not only Intel, but also AMD, Nvidia and many others have a strong rationale to fund a Windows clone. Without an OS targeted to advanced computing, who is going to buy the more and more capable CPUs, GPUs, SSDs etc, etc? If Microsoft targets Windows to consumers, and it runs excellently in very limited hardware, who would even care about faster and faster hardware?

Anyway you cut it, Microsoft's OSes have remained in stasis for 9 years. The major computing breakthrough was Windows Vista. Win7 made Vista smoother. Win8 is not providing any more capabilities (actually less). Instead of chasing the "consumer" who supposedly would like to buy a "Windows" product, Microsoft should have targeted another advance in the state of computing with Windows, while using a subset of the OS to power tablets and phones. Now, its policy lacks not only focus, but it is also dishonest and manipulative.

This part of your post illustrates that you don't really understand the
issue at hand. Apple gets the issue here. They understand that there are
still 2 markets, the mobile/mobile phone market - iOS6 and the
desktop/laptop market - Snow Leopard. Huge difference from Microsoft's
apparent strategy.

IMO, ,Apple got it right, we're in the PC plus mobile age, not the PC and
mobile age. Big difference between the two.

Hi d'AJ

It is a fact that mobile PC shipments have surpassed Desktop PC shipments and that this gap is widening.

In your link, it only talks about the 'year over year' stats. This is mainly attributed to the economy and anytime there is a new version of Windows being developed, there is traditionally a slowdown in PC sales because users will put off buying a new system until the new version of Windows has been released.

But when you discuss PC sales, you are dealing with very large numbers. in 2011, there were still 144 Million new Desktop PCs shipped. See my previous link.

I think that there is a number of misconceptions here. Typically, the term "portable" does not apply to laptops. For all intents and purposes, laptops run desktop OSes. Yes, laptop sales have surpassed desktop sales for some years but this is not creating the "post-PC anxienty" in Microsoft. Systems that run "portable OSes" are tablets and smartphones, devices with limited capabilities and screens that depend almost exclusively on battery power.

It is to my surprise that Microsoft has decided to adopt a very different approach to "portable computing" than any other player. Microsoft regards elements of portable computing -tablets- as "PCs" that need to run a full desktop OS, a weird proposition. While Apple and Google utilize the same OS for smartphones and tablets (iOS and Android), Microsoft has decided to offer a full desktop OS for tablets and a separate one (WinPhone 8) for smartphones.

This decision by Microsoft may prove disastrous in many ways. Users of Apple's and Google's smartphones can utilize their apps in tablets, but this would not be possible for users of Win8 tablets or WinPhone 8 phones!!! In addition, Microsoft's licensing fee for the "full desktop OS" may make it more difficult for OEMs to built competitive systems.

Hi ADRz

If you read the article in my previous link http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS23371512 you will see:

Taxonomy Note: PCs include Desktop, Mini Notebook and other Portable PCs, and do not include handhelds or Media Tablets such as the Apple iPad or Android Tablets.

Basically the data includes PCs only and 'portable' means any PC that you can carry around in your backpack (Laptop, Netbook, Notebook, Tablet) It does not include any smartphones, media only, iPad, or ARM devices.

In another report, the drop was big 5.7% in US, as you can see here:

Imagine what can happen in 3Q12.

I'm a desktop user and I'd like a desktop oriented OS, but the world is going mobile ...

If Win8 doesn't succeed as much as expected, things can get complicated: What the PC sales slump really means -- and why it will get worse.

When things get complicated, then ...

World's largest networking vendor Cisco Reduces its Workforce.

I think that this is a "problem" that Microsoft has strongly contributed in. First of all, as the market reaches saturation, PC shipments were bound to fall. But when the capabilities of the OS (mostly Windows) remain unchanged for 9 years or more, why would people continue buying newer computers? If newer machines do not provide increased capabilities, then the push to upgrade is so much lower and the rate of substitution would certainly fall.

Now, Microsoft is releasing another OS that does not take any advantage of all the cores we have and the really advanced GPUs. In fact, with the dismissal of Aero, it does even less (because it is designed for portable devices and to preserve battery life). And then, Microsoft is scratching its head as to why PC shipments fall!!! Dahhh!!!

This whole thing is a self-fulfilling prophesy!!!!

Now, if we have an OS that would be doing more and more with an increased CPU core count and can do extraordinary things with mid-level to powerful GPUs, then one would see a whole wave of PC upgrading and shipments will go through the roof. The real idiocy of Win8 with its multicolored tiles is that it is even designed for small screens with low resolution (according to Sinofski). Thus, it does not even challenge PC providers to start offering higher resolutions at a competitive price. Desktop resolutions have topped at 2550X1600 for ages now....In these resolutions and in 30-inch monitor, Win8 looks hideous. Imagine how it would look in higher ones!!!

The real idiocy of Win8 with its multicolored tiles is that it is even designed for small screens with low resolution (according to Sinofski). Thus, it does not even challenge PC providers to start offering higher resolutions at a competitive price. Desktop resolutions have topped at 2550X1600 for ages now....In these resolutions and in 30-inch monitor, Win8 looks hideous. Imagine how it would look in higher ones!!!

I love to bash Windows 8 and Microsoft's new direction, but let's be fair here. People have demanded lower hardware requirements. Just remember: "Bloat! Windoze!"

Vista required state-of-the-art hardware to run sufficient, didn't exactly work out well.

I think that it would be alright if you have an OS that runs well in 3-year old hardware. Now, Win8 runs well in 10 year old hardware or even older!!! I do not call this progress. I call this regression. I call this going under the roots into the ground.

Vista's problem was not the hardware requirements. It was understood that it needed good hardware to run well. Microsoft totally mismanaged the "Vista ready" or "Vista approved" program and several device drivers were not ready. I remember that my scanner and printer lacked device drivers when this OS appeared. Overall, the Vista rollout was so terribly mismanaged by Microsoft as not to be an example of anything.

Just to go back to the initial reason for the rage: Missing Features for power users.

To quote VeryBoringNickname:

And to quote xpclient:

Well, I would call myself a poweruser, too. And I found that all the "poweruser" features that I often use are in a different place or have to be activated first, but they are still there and often improved. I don't know how to find everything, but I'm quite sure it is there. In your case I can only show you how to find the features you are looking for in your examples, because I don't miss anything:

Both of you state that the Start Menu is Missing all other functions then running apps. Especially Control Panel. It is true for the old way of pressing the Windows Button on the Keyboard. But did you rightclick in the lower left corner of your screen, when the "Start" symbol is showing? You should see something like that:

Not only that you now have most of the features the old Start Menu had, you have new ones. It is quite nice to have a administrative cmd, and network connections availabale via two mouseclicks by default. You can also restore the administrative tools into the Metro UI:

You are missing the Explorer status bar. Why don't you use the details pane? It shows all the relevant informaton, too. Well except for the disc free space, but personally I never needed that.

And the list could be continued..

[Internet Explorer] Google Search Results are Not Shown Up in Metro Style Internet Explorer. No Display Problems in Desktop Internet Explorer

Hello,

Recently I started experiencing problems when working with Google using Metro style Internet Explorer. The search results don't get shown and the web page looks like this:

When opening the same request paqe in Desktop Internet Explorer, there appear to be no problems with displaying the output:

I've got accustomed with Metro style browser and use it on a regular basis and it doesn't seem a good sign for a Release Candidate provided how little it is left to October, 26th. Is it just a temporary problem or it is a local problem?

Thank you.

I have also experienced this issue and logged it as a bug with Microsoft Connect on feedback of IE10

Bug ID 754732 Opened 20/07/2012

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Open IE 10 in desktop mode.
type something in the address bar to click add to add search provider
Add a search provider and choose google.
tools > manage Addons > Search Providers
Move google to the top of the list so that it becomes the default search in the metro Version.
(another bug if its selected as default its still not default in the Metro version of IE10 it needs to be 1st in the search order).
Ensure Search in the address bar is ticked
Now Open IE10 from the Metro interface
Right Click the screen to get the address bar appear at the bottom of the screen
Type a search term in the address bar at the bottom of the screen
The result is Results will be returned.
All good so far now type something in the google search field (overtype what you have just searched)
Don't use the address bar search at the bottom.
Click the blue Google Search button.
No results are returned

note if you type slowly in the google search box it wil auto populate the search results as you type. (this is why it would appear intermittent). type fast and then click the blue search icon no results are returned

I've seen some failures in the desktop IE lately on the Google search results page (I have no interest in the Metro IE myself). The code Google runs in their search results page is quite complex, and it's pretty clear it's been changing.

Given that Google almost certainly has no love for Microsoft, and that they have their own Chrome browser, is it any wonder that they have coded their pages so as give trouble to Internet Explorer, especially in the somewhat oddball Metro environment?

This alone is rendering Metro IE unusable as the main day-to-day browser. To compound issues, the only other metro alternative: Chrome Dev Channel, despite being currently very unpolished - currently has issues not being able to correctly display Facebook, so it seems we are in a Catch-22.

Do we have any confirmation that either Google or Microsoft are aware of this issue and are working on a fix?

Seriously, where is the incentive for either company to fix this?

As stated above, the problem is with Google's web page.

Google doesn't want you to be using IE. They want you to use Chrome.

Microsoft doesn't want you to be using Google. They want you to use Bing.

You need to start getting out of the habit of expecting software to all just work together. The world is no longer a big, happy software place - we've entered the "cash in on the sheep" phase of corporate software development.

There's not much incentive for Microsoft to do it but I don't think

they are the responsible one here.

For Google, they have the best incentive in the world -- their whole

business model is for you to have your eyes on their pages. If you

can't see their content, you go away and they lose eyes, and thus what

they can charge for advertising. Google isn't so stupid that they

think they could convert everybody to Chrome without losing money in

the meantime. I don't even like Chrome, so they'd lose my eyes all

together.

Likewise, I consider Google software about on par with malware myself, and I wouldn't use Chrome on a bet except for web page development testing, BUT - Chrome has gathered a big chunk of users. My July web site stats show Chrome has 23.2% of users while IE has 33.5%. That's not exactly small change.

And whether or not Google's ad business might take a bit of a hit (which isn't a given; I'm willing to debate your point), it would be to Google's advantage to gum up the works a bit for the Windows 8 release for any number of reasons. Think about who's competing with what here.

Confirmed Workaround:

Turn off Instant Search in the settings cog, and all functionality returns.

Also as to the note about incentives:

-> Metro IE not working on Google.com (the most used website in the world), would be a mighty easy way for Microsoft to lose a huge chunk of their userbase to Chrome/Firefox. The first I did when Google stopped working, was install Metro Chrome.

-> Google loses out on ad revenue from the other chunk of people who just switch to Bing.

So it seems like there is plenty incentive to get this fixed.

I am using Chrome as a substitute. Gee, I need three browsers just to browse standard HTML + scripting; gimme back my Mosaic, chances are it'll manage better with all that stuff?! Except for scripting for sure... but do I need it when it's not working? Questionable.
So yeah, I use Chrome. Two of them. Standard one and Calibri. You know what. None is working stable. Both have problems with displaying GOOGLE web sites! The annoying one with invisible graphical element hiding the top-most page from you and interfering with filling forms, etc., anything displayed on top of the web page. They've fixed just this morning.

Sorry to correct you on this, but this isn't a Google problem. The Metro IE is obviously missing some functions the desktop IE has. Either some HTML 5 or Java Script code isn't usable in Metro at all, not only on the Google page.

Let me give you a really easy example:

Use the Metro IE, open this thread, scroll up and try to change the language. If you click on United States (English) or whatever language you are using, it doesn't work. There should be a popup where you can choose other languages, but it isn't shown. On the other hand if I use the desktop IE it is working correctly.

So to summarize it: A Microsoft Browser isn't capable to use a function on a Microsoft programmed website. Still a Google problem? ;)

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to use Chrome or something like that. But if someone or something isn't responsible for a problem, I don't want him or it to get the blame.

You can see I easily made a blank Google page in the desktop IE above. It's even doable in IE9.

Whether there are problems on a Microsoft site too that trigger IE10 Metro issues, well, that's possibly another issue. There's no law that says software has to have just one bug. I certainly won't deny that there can be (are) many problems with IE10, not least of which is they no longer do font smoothing properly.

Yes. If you type that exact search term into Google on IE9, or IE10 you get a blank page. This is also true for Firefox, Opera and Chrome. That is given and you, me and most certainly everyone else can reproduce that. I will go further: Every search that you start with "site:<domain>" will not show a result while typing.

This is indeed proof, that this behaviour comes from Google itself, not from the browser.

But does that show, that there is a bug? No. Google even gives an explanation to that:

Confidence

The autocomplete algorithm tries to show you results as you type only when it has a high confidence that the results will be useful. If you're not seeing Google Instant results after typing the first few letters of your search, try typing a few more. If that doesn't work, sometimes you have to press Enter to see results. The algorithm may not be confident that any particular set of results will be relevant to your search.

Quoted from http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=186645

Search terms starting with "site:" seem to have results with very low confidence levels, so Google doesn't show them without clicking or using the Enter key.

That's the way the algorithm works, not a bug.

So we have our search term and a blank Google page, what now? Well Google tells us to press Enter, let's do that. And after pressing Enter I see the search results on IE9, IE10, Firefox, Opera and Chrome. But this doesn't work at all for Metro IE10.

To summarize that again: According to Google documentation this behavior is normal. If you read the manual and press Enter it is working for every browser except Metro IE10. So it has to be a Metro IE10 bug.

I certainly won't deny that this Google Instant feature is sometimes driving me crazy. But again: This time it is the Metro bug, not Google.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not trying to start a (gun?)fight. Quite the contrary, I really like the Metro IE10. I find myself using it more and more during my Windows 8 evaluation, because working with it is really fast and intuitive. But it obviously has a bug. And I want that bug fixed. And no one is going to fix the bug, if everyone would say it is Googles fault, not the fault of Metro IE10.

------------------------------------
Reply:

When I tried hitting return on the page I pictured above it actually did nothing - in Desktop IE10 or IE9. That was a few days ago; I don't know if it's still that way.

This all really says little except that Google's search results page is just implemented in a way that's difficult for browsers to handle. Microsoft's code is pre-release, but Google's code seems to be the work of hackers on their best day, so who's really at fault?

In my opinion trying to return instant results based on each character typed is a waste of resources, and is mind-jarring to use anyway. I don't want stuff changing on the page on which I'm typing, so the workaround listed above is a great solution as far as I'm concerned. I thought I had had it set that way, but my setting was probably lost at some point due to cookie deletion or something.

You might have noticed I also happen to have a separate search box on the IE desktop window that I've added courtesy 3rd party software. That always works - remarkably well - and I personally find it an even better way to solve the issue of entering search queries. There's no capability to augment the Metro IE UI to do that, as far as I can see.

Best of luck using Metro apps.

P.S., do you realize that all of Google's script code is obfuscated (meaning it's practically impossible to read the scripts to determine what they do)? I seriously doubt Microsoft will want to try to take the time to deal with such code in order to try to investigate this issue. And somehow I doubt anyone at Google is going to give them the time of day if they call them up and ask for the real sources.

IE - Large html with a lot of elements do not display properly

Hi,

We have a large html file containing
labels (with lots of images such as barcodes, etc.). In Internet Explorer (any
version as far as we can tell) the file does not open properly, some elements
overlaps others, etc. Chrome does not have the problem, and Firefox only has a
minor display problem.

It looks like the display is fine until [approx.]
line 63700, anything after that is rolled over and displayed back on top of the
beginning of the page, overlapping what was there already.

Is there a
page size limit for IE (in terms of number of lines)?

Please see for
yourself:
http://tgstaging.enabletrading.com/tgbarcodes/shiplabels/TTOY-072712094753.html

If
you open the file with an editor, you will see that the content is fine and that
no element should overlap each other but they do.

I spent hours googling
this, nobody seems to have a clue.

Please HELP! :-)

Thank
you!

HP ProLiant ML350 G4 - Installation Issues

Hi, Hopefully someone can help me with this :)

Firstly, im trying to install windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise. I have found that the issues i am facing are big with windows 7 too.

I have a HP ProLiant ML350 G4 tower, 2GB RAM and upgraded to 4GB when bought. PCI RAID controller and CDROM, FLOPPY drives. I have removed the FLOPPY drive and replace the CDROM drive with a DVD-RW drive.

So, usually i install windows using USB, ive never really faced any real issues doing it this way, however on this paticular maching i am receiving an error when booting which just displays a "J" and goes no further.

I have tried formatting the USB drive in filesystems FAT16LBA FAT16CHS FAT32LBA FAT32CHS all with no luck. Searched around and came to the conclusion this was boot image related....

so, as a result i turned to the DVD drive, copied the installation media to a DVD-RW and also tried a DVD-R (at 4x write speed). However i am now facing another rather annoying problem

Im getting stuck on "Expanding windows files 0%). Sometimes it moves to 1 and 2 but it takes AGES. I have tired removing RAM, tried different DIMM configuration, removed all hardware such as NICs, FLOPPY and even PCI RAID controller to no avail. I have tried resetting the CMOS, disabled hyper-threading in the BIOS etc with no luck.

Now, i dont even get that far, i now get stuck at the initial startup screen when windows is loading the setup "copying files" hangs and goes no further. Took all RAM out except for 1 stick (1GB), no luck. Tired different SCSI drives in different slots, no luck.

So, where to from here? i spent my WHOLE saturday on this and will do the same thing tommorow until i can sort it. ANY ideas?

Even for the USB install?

Thanks for taking the time read guys!

How do you send alerts to groups that have an on-call rotation?

There are several ways to handle this, but we're at a point where we have a lot of alerts coming into Operations Manager and need to figure out how to get alerts out to the right people fast. For instance, if a disk is about to run out of space, we need to query our cmdb to get the owner and the notify the on-call team and make sure they received the alert (acknowledged it).

On the simple end, we just put in subscriptions to email specific groups when alerts happen. This is the tragically lackluster extent of Operation Manager's built in functionality.

On the complicated/robust end, we get a really serious alert management tool that support smart phones, 2 way email and texts, etc.

I imagine Orchestrator might have a solution here as well- maybe in conjuntion with Service Manager.

Every solution will have pros and cons.

I'm curious how you do it, or what caveats you've run into. I'm in a position to suggest a plan for our company's on-call alerting, and we can't be the first company to work through this.

What have you done that's awesome?

Reply:

You can author notification workflows and runbooks, for example runbooks that send notifications that are invoked by service manager incidents.

Using just SCOM and a third party product there are possible very advanced notification scenarios. I know these guys and they have a fine product: http://www.derdack.com/. I do not know pricing.

Reply:

One of the customers I work with also use Derdack and there are connectors from either SCOM or SCSM (or indeed, Orchestrator).

It is straight forward to setup and can be configured to chase administrators down via email, text and then mobile and home phone numbers if required. You can set up rotas and teams etc and we've found it to be reliable.

SMP location is identical to DP location which would indicate that the client in question is not reporting to secondary site.

The selection of SMP is based on boundaries. My guess is that your XP client falls on the boundary of the SMP that is on the primary site.

it was a problem related to the protected site system,

Made the boundary protected with the secondary site name so that the machines in this boundary uses secondary site DP & SMP and now it's working fine.

thanks every one for suggestions.

Thanks

Please add the day of the week to the Date display when looking at the calendar in the Day configuration.

I am astounded at how many software applications (and people) display a date without a day of the week.

You have tons of screen space to add the day of the week to the date display in the Day selection, e.g. "Thursday, July 26, 2012" instead of just "July 26, 2012".

When people set up meetings, they say "How about July 28th?" and nobody knows if that is a workday or a Saturday unless they make the mental calculation.

Let's make the world a happier place to be, and give people more information so they can be more productive.

Hi,

I agree with you that this feature is important. I believe lots of customers also need this feature. You can also submit the feedback to Microsoft about the Office program from this link:

Um, you can do it now. Outlook uses the long date format set on the computer.
