I’ve experienced a restore (by Backup Exec Single Item Recovery) gone bad a couple of times now, making the storage groups database unmountable. If that ever happens to you – note this!

(The passive copy!) Furthermore, logfiles keep being generated from the...

So, what’s the difference between Trusted Sites Medium-Low versus Medium-settings? We had some issues at work at one point.

So, how to slipstream updates to a Windows 7 image??? What a lovely quest I was on there 😀 In the old days, it was called slipstreaming updates and service packs into Windows images. But no more – Now it’s called servicing an offline image by adding packages! Oh my xxx, that is annoying. Anyway, in Windows 7 we have the wonderful tool dism.exe – It’s command-line only at the moment, but I read somewhere that MS is working on a GUI-version of the...
