@Iain, any similarities between the OP and person that has the accepect answer on this question? Answer was posted and then accepted as an answer one minute later.
Do you guys ever get people asking questions in your email?
I've had two people in the last couple of weeks (one from Yahoo answers, one from ServerFault) who sent their question to my email address rather than asking on either site.
I never buy Toshiba laptops for this reason. They're like HP in that they'll just throw you at a page of ~100 downloads for every device they've released in the last 10 years, with no indication of what you might need for your hardware.

why allow windows to disable hardware that need?
why windows allows to disable drivers or Devices that Meaningless? like disable cpu? like disabling graphic card?

I have a Windows 2008 Web edition server setup with IIS7.5 and PHP 5.4.6 FastCGI installed. I would like to make use of the user INI files as described here:

@JourneymanGeek sometimes, during the process of troubleshooting/reading other answers, you work it out (or something clicks in your head), therefore self answer is valid provided it's detailed rather then 'updated software and went away'
although not many people would work out and say something like 'found the bug in the next release notes, bug was xyz, so updated software and went away'
We have a MySQL server that supports several internal business systems. Our infrastructure team is having a spirited debate as to whether or not we can switch this database server to a VM. The argument is higher availability from the VM side versus performance from the physical hardware side. Mos...
I recently had an issue within vCenter where I could not edit or delete two of my resource pools. Unsure of exactly why this was happening, I decided to do some digging. First, I had noticed that the Users group was added to these resource pools for some reason, and set to Read-Only. I can only assume that someone did this accidentally . (Or at least, I hope.) So now, I’m stuck since no …
I'm recreating the raid on a old msa60. Would it check for bad disks when I create it? It is three msa60 enclosure with 12bay and 1TB each. I need around 24TB usable storage, what would the ideal raid for it? This is going to be used as a secondary backup and there will also be a tape library att...
@pauska The Smart Array P800 controller (which is period-appropriate for his MSA60), supported 2TB LUNS back in the day. If you update the firmware, it's 8 Zettabytes.
4 P4500 G2 nodes with 12x600GB 15K disks each (28.8TB Raw), plus 8 sockets of vSphere standard, plus vCenter, plus 4x DL380 G7s with 2x 4 core and 64GB RAM each was like 80k USD
@Dan Our (boss's guesstimate) is for the laptops to last for 5 years before they should be replaced, although it's likely they'll be in use for twice that time.

@RobM Yup. With this new build we got a ton of money to buy stuff, but when we asked for money to cover running costs and damage that got waved off. Luckily we did go for 3 year warranty with everything - which runs out around July so I'm going to have to start reparing stuff myself.
@MDMarra While we had a lot of money wasted here I'm glad we did get blades and VMWare as it's given me expereince with a production virtualized network.
@RobM No, corporate environments are great about that too. All the incentivization for everyone is about short-term profits and revenues, so why consider the long term?
That's the next guys' problem, don't screw your bonuses and raises over it.
@MDMarra 5 years is ideal, but I find it very hard to actually furfill 5 years of production on equipment.. look how SAN/servers have scaled only the last two years..
@pauska I think one thing people here struggle to understand is the speed of progress - they accept that I'm going to replace a server after 5 years, but they struggle to accept just how much different a server that's 5 years old can be.
The interconnects on the UCS stuff are oversubscribed triple (I believe) what the HP ones are and chassis-to-chassis interconnection is much less efficient
At least that's how it was demoed to us by an independent vendor that resells both
Maybe it was Dell that was triple oversubscribed and UCS was 2x
Basically, HP's interconnects are oversubscribed 2:1, the next closes competitor was 4:1 and everyone else was higher
Anybody care to tell me what EXACTLY is in these Google racks? This Datacenter is actually up the road from me. I know they are servers and switches, but the components look "open" to me, and I'm trying to grasp what's in, say, a single rack exactly component wise. google.com/about/datacenters/gallery/#/all/20
@PeterGrace - interesting. I was always told over the years "make sure the lids are on the servers for proper airflow and cooling." I like their pics...makes my datacenter look weak by comparison...
@TheCleaner Yeah, and this would be why they run their DCs hot and have an expected failure model and all that. They use cheap, barebones hardware and make up for it in software
If you have a datacenter all to yourself, you're free to set the requirements on how it operates so you can do other things that might not work in a colocation facility
@Dan you beat me to them. I was going to say they make the rules and people follow in terms of Data Center setup. Ify our big enough to build customer DC's you can do what you want.
@MDMarra yeah, I heard that at some point...that each "server" is quite basic and each single node is no loss at all if it fails. The pics of their robotic backup library is impressive. That would NOT be my dream job. "Hey Cleaner...earthquake swallowed the whole place...go grab the tapes" :(
@Iain It is. But it seems to be coming from a developer, and developers are great at turning a 101 or remedial-level topic into a doctorate level issue.
Negative. I did see the one of (crap can't remember the company) that built identical redundant datacenters on the same campus. A bank maybe? Pretty impressive....massive.
@TheCleaner Yeah, I'm honestly surprised that they have a tape library and aren't doing the backblaze thing (consumer grade xTB drives in RAID on consumer grade cards and all clustered together, expected failure, etc.).
I guess if you have software in place to NOT delete anything, period, then you can simply add more and more disk. It would make point in time backups almost pointless if that were the case. Impressive, however they do it...
@HopelessN00b - backblaze...interesting...reading a blog on it now...
@t1nt1n This is true, but I've had good luck telling auditors to get on board, and/or eat shit. What's this post, though (the my security auditor is an idiot one)?
@PeterGrace - typically CDW although most of the time we end up making our own. We tend to use blue for patch cables, purple for panel to jack, white for voice, green for KVM, and of course orange for fiber.
@PeterGrace @chriss I don't just deal in HP. I have access to all of the major distributors and definitely have a great source in NY to handle the types of things SE needs. And yes, at better-than-CDW pricing.
Yeah... Just change the type of label. But the nice thing is being able to steal normal Brother P-Touch cartridges from the office staff when you're in a pinch.
@PeterGrace Just sayin... my guy is in NY. I definitely don't pay what other people seem to pay for gear (except for @Chopper3), and I'm trying to expand to provide services to other organizations.
CDW is here in Chicago... no East Coast warehouse, and it's... bleh. I only go there when I know I can drive 20 minutes and do a will call pickup.
Realize too that we were hiring for a pretty advanced position. Not to make you feel like you suck or anything, it's just we're trying to get someone who has a certain baseline of knowledge that we don't have to train-up
I didn't interview you so I couldn't say for sure, and I wouldn't want to cast doubt on Kyle's ability to interview, but the way things work is that any of the senior admins have veto power on a hire/no-hire. If any one of us has any doubts whatsoever, we are obligated by policy to say no-hire.
Yeah, I don't really know how that went down -- it would have been nicer to have you in the office for lunch and actually have done some semblance of an interview
