hyper-v on an IBM x3200 M2 with an E4600 CPU,,,, what a joke

hyper-v on an IBM x3200 M2 with an E4600 dual core CPU

trash ... that cpu doesn't support VT-x

I did install MS vNext on it, but I could not enable hyper-v


then I tried another oldie server IBM x3200 with a Pentium D, no, not all CPU support VT-x

this time, I used a small program did a test -- speccy, it tells me whether the CPU supports or not

time to move on

one drive for business limits & sharepoint online --- 5000 items and onedrive is personal

one drive for business limits & sharepoint online --- 5000 items and onedrive is personal

if you want to share onedrive for business, 5000 items (files and folders) are the limit , the other guy can get from your library using onedrive

in the team site, you can upload 2GB. to upload more without syncing onedrive, your can create a new library under mysite. the libraries under mysite is subject to the 1TB (2TB) limit. the default onedrive is up to 20,000 items. but other libraries under mysite is up to 5000 using onedrive.

( I spent time to get myself with reality, and Microsoft support girl Jan also mention they tested)

To copy files between libraries under mysite. in IE (not firefox), click libraries, click open with explorer. If you have onedrive installed, it may open the local cache.

in a normal server 2012 R2 , I found out I couldb't open it (or something else corrupted or I don't know)

This also includes syncing other people's OneDrive personal sites that you may have access to. You can sync multiple SharePoint libraries.

salvage my work notebook HP 6715b --- move the hard drive to another HP compaq nc6400

salvage my work notebook HP 6715b (since 2006) --- move the hard drive to another HP compaq nc6400

the night before , I clapped the lid of my outdated HP 6715b and went to bed.

in the morning, pushed the button, trying to wake it up, this time, nothing showing on the screen, nothing even after dismantled it

the hard drive is loaded with windows 7 x64 ultimate

first , I did a bios upgrade on the nc6400 with the file on hp site.

pulled out the hard drive and put into another HP compaq nc6400

push the button, blue screen,  BSOD 0x0000007B

its about the hard drive storage controller driver (actually its not, as I found out later)

in an effort to inject drivers, I took an in-place image of the hard drive (using storagecraft shadowprotect IT key), and restored the image.

this time, there is no blue screen, bit it crashed to a crash menu, like

put in your windows disc and click repair

iastor.sys corrupted ....

I somehow injected many versions of iastor.sys, still the same error, if I deleted the iastor.sys , I would get the BSOD again.

I do have w7 x64 repair disc, I popped the disc in, and started the repair, ......, no luck.

I do have the original w7 x64 disc, popped disc in, and started the repair, ...., no luck


then in the BIOS, change SATA mode to disabled, change IDE mode from bi-shifted to LBA-assisted.
( I had this kind of issues with HP machines, things like IDE mode, AHCI, UEFI etc, but I thought w7 x64 can handle those, load properly drivers upon detecting new hardware)

then the notebook can start to safe mode and load drivers

interestingly HP does not put any w7 driver for nc6400, compared with the 6715b HP even has UEFI firmware.

there is a w7 x32 bit driver listed in their forum, its a dropbox link. but I couldn't use it as my w7 is x64.

eventually I booted my hard drive to w7 x64 on the nc6400, in the device manager lots of yellow marks.

downloaded various versions of inf update files from intel site.

downloaded vista drivers from HP site, installed and un-installed and installed again,

some issues bugged me, the display was showing as a problem, and the wireless is not showing up. there are also issues with mass storage and simple comms.

eventually loaded the TI drive for the mass storage. disabled / enable the wireless many times to get wireless up and working ( have to re-enter the wireless password). I had this wireless issue before with the 6715b when I updated the OS to w7.

now I got two days to re-activate w7 x64 ultimate

working on one drive business --- site library limits and long file names

moving a small biz to the cloud , they want to use one drive for biz for their files

they are on O365 business premium

one drive for biz site library has 2GB limit

the most annoying thing is the long file names, without trimming it, other guys cannot sync at all
 

weird shadow protect image / restore issue - server rebooted to crash menu

server 2012 R2 test machine, got 3 drives

I wanted replace drive C: with a bigger hard drive

I booted from IT edition , take the C: drive image

put the bigger hard drive in, and restored image,

to my horror, upon reboot, the server crashed to the recovery menu

now the real recovery begins,

1/ put the original disk drive back, the same thing happened, I restarted and restarted , eventually choose debug mode, then the server boot to normal mode

so I took an image again, and restore again, shiit, the same thing happened, this time I choose Last known good configuration,  the server boot to normal mode. but the computer name changed to soemthing like win-ananan, like assumed a name of windows PE. and hyper-v switch all got scrabbled. I have to remove the hyper-v role, move off the domain, rename , re-join the domain, and re-add hyper-v role, and set the configuration location exactly as before, then it pick up all existing settings and VMs,

phew ... what a day



--- Shadow Protect support send me a long checklist

- including 1/ run check disk on the drive
2/ set policy to sector
3/ in HIR (even at the same machine ?) use good match
4/ also suggested delete BCD and re-build BCD
5/ patch MBR , but this is windows server 2012 R2?
