Hello fell sysadmins, My org is looking at refreshing our VM host hardware in the middle of next calendar year. As such, today I had a helpful discussion with a vendor regarding various options for the upgrade. Currently we are on a five-node VxRail cluster (20 cores / 192GB memory per host, 53.5 TiB storage total); it looks like the best options for our needs are vSAN Ready nodes or Hyper-V + traditional SAN. With that said, I am still left with a few questions: The vendor (who was clearly a bit biased toward VMWare) spec'd a 4-node cluster for the vSAN cluster with 256GB memory + 256 GB NVMe for memory tiering per host. For the Hyper-V cluster, they spec'd 5 nodes and 512GB memory per. Their argument was that Hyper-V has more overhead and is less efficient at dynamic allocation of resources. That seems like pretty stark contrast - is that true in your experience? Also, is memory tiering as effective as this vendor made it seem in production? We are primarily a Windows shop, so we'd expect at least some savings moving to Hyper-V. That said, I'm curious how much savings we'd actually net between buying System Center for SCVVM (so we can maintain vMotion-like functionality) and Microsoft support. My understanding is licensing there is based on core counts - currently we're looking at 32 per host in either build. Are there any other considerations I should keep in mind? Cost is not the ultimate deciding factor. More than anything, we feel like the VxRail was overkill at the time it was purchased. I'd like to buy exactly what we need this time around (while planning for reasonable growth). If it's helpful, my org is a medium-sized municipality and isn't running any crazy workloads. We have ~55 VMs that will exist on this cluster. submitted by /u/nst_hopeful [link] [comments]

Hong Kong travel agencies and border shops have capitalised on the opening of the revamped Huanggang Port as thousands of visitors poured through the control point, with special tours on offer and shopkeepers reporting brisk business. Agents said the port’s 24-hour joint clearance arrangements could give cross-border tourism a major boost, although crowd control measures dampened trade at the checkpoint entrance. Tour groups organised by Hong Kong travel agency Big Line Holiday were among the...

Parent company is separating only IT from their control. We do use Microsoft for everything. Azure, Intune, One Drive, Share Point. Everything is on the Cloud. Nothings is on premises. Parent and MSP are suggesting that we should have additional devices (laptops) for a smooth migration (parallel migration). This is the easiest migration, except that we don’t have that amount of spare devices and buying new ones is too expensive. Which other options do we have for this migration? Can anyone share their experience with similar experiences please? submitted by /u/just_my_world [link] [comments]

For interest: My favorite thing to do these days with extra tokens is comparative performance benchmarking that I'm too lazy and error-prone to do. Below are some results from the common free space analysis tools. Any requests on what to do next? Performance Benchmark Comparison This benchmark evaluates the latest production releases of WinDirStat (v2.9.3 x64), WizTree (v4.33 x64), SpaceSniffer (v2.2.0.27 x64), and TreeSize Free (v4.8.1.610 x64) across both Privileged (Elevated Admin) and Unprivileged (Standard User) execution. Results reflect an average of 3 measured runs following a discarded warmup run. Filesystem Traversal & MFT Architecture Note: WinDirStat and WizTree feature dedicated NTFS Master File Table (MFT) parsers capable of directly indexing raw volume metadata when elevated, reading millions of files in seconds. SpaceSniffer and TreeSize Free lack MFT readers in their free releases and rely entirely on standard recursive Win32 directory traversal. Because Win32 traversal over 6.3 million items on the primary C: volume requires more than 15 minutes, full-volume C: comparisons focus on the two MFT-capable engines. For each workload scan, the Privileged and Unprivileged runs are placed directly adjacent. Best result in each metric is bolded. Target / Workload Mode Tool Items Found Total Time Avg Memory Peak Memory E: (2 GB Volume) Privileged WinDirStat 32 0.2 s 28 MB 55 MB WizTree 32 0.4 s 40 MB 65 MB SpaceSniffer 9 0.9 s 64 MB 82 MB TreeSize Free 9 2.3 s 72 MB 154 MB Unprivileged WinDirStat 4 0.2 s 24 MB 51 MB WizTree 4 0.5 s 40 MB 65 MB SpaceSniffer 4 0.9 s 50 MB 63 MB TreeSize Free 4 2.0 s 73 MB 148 MB V:References (18 TB Volume Subtree) Privileged WinDirStat 186,675 0.9 s 70 MB 91 MB WizTree 186,675 1.5 s 96 MB 129 MB TreeSize Free 186,675 2.7 s 74 MB 165 MB SpaceSniffer 186,675 4.3 s 121 MB 159 MB Unprivileged WinDirStat 186,675 1.0 s 68 MB 92 MB WizTree 186,675 1.4 s 95 MB 129 MB TreeSize Free 186,675 2.8 s 72 MB 159 MB SpaceSniffer 186,675 5.0 s 105 MB 140 MB C: (System Drive Volume) Privileged WinDirStat 6,286,495 22.2 s 1.2 GB 2.0 GB WizTree 6,286,495 37.5 s 2.1 GB 2.5 GB Unprivileged WinDirStat 2,050,118 13.7 s 283 MB 448 MB WizTree 2,050,118 15.3 s 642 MB 885 MB Test Methodology: To eliminate cold-start and disk-cache skew, every tool executed an initial discarded warmup run followed by three measured passes whose results were averaged. Scans were automated headless across both elevated administrator and standard user contexts, comparing direct NTFS Master File Table (MFT) indexing against recursive Win32 directory traversal. Total scan times were measured using high-resolution timers, while working set memory was sampled continuously from OS kernel counters (PSAPI) every 25 ms to capture true peak and average memory usage. submitted by /u/Few_Cheesecake_1894 [link] [comments]

Let me start off by saying, I am not trying to ring the bell here... I have no idea if this issue is an "us" issue or maybe it isn't. Maybe this will help someone during this next Windows Update release. My hope here is that if someone runs into this, the post will help them get over the finish line faster than I did... Recently one of our new guys had installed the September Preview - KB5124010. He noticed he couldn't run a successful GPUPDATE /FORCE and told us about Group Policy failing to apply. This also appeared like a domain trust issue in the logs, even though all commands I could throw at it validated trust was still established. Including disjoining and rejoining the machine. As I looked into this, I determined the issue was something with the September Preview. Previews are not normally installed by our team, but the new guy didn't know this and I am happy he didn't know this. After removing the preview, policy updates returned to normal. I looked around the internet for more info on this and couldn't find much to point me in the correct direction. After reading many logs from the client and the DCs, today, the day before October Updates are release, my co-worker and I dove head first into this as we did not want all of our ~700 computer to fail to get Policy Updates after the updates. Which we are very very very aggressive on. Test Machine (VM with snapshots), OU with inheritance disabled and suspecting the right Group Policy right off the start assisted with this troubleshooting. The difficult part was figuring out the individual policy... This is what we have and what was found: We have a 2016 Domain Functional Level. We have computers running Windows 11 25H2. We use Microsoft Security Baseline. There is a compatibility issue for us with a setting in the 25H2 Security Baseline. The policy that was found is here: Computer Configuration>Policies>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Local Policies>Security Options Policy: User Account Control: Configure type of Admin Approval Mode The Policy Settings supplied in Microsoft's Security Baseline is Admin Approval Mode with Administrator protection. We needed to set this to Legacy Admin Approval Mode (Default) ***One of our challenges is that on our Server 2022 DC, this just appeared as a registry string. We needed to add Group Policy Editor to a random Server 2025 server just to edit this policy. There are two more thoughts I have on this which may help someone... I know uninstalling the update, will return to normal and you can than do a policy update on the machine. What I do not know is, if you cannot get the update off, can you just open regedit and change this from a 2 to a 1? Reboot, restore the ability to pull policies? (I would think so since it is a client side change) Here is the registry info for this as well: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System DWORD = TypeOfAdminApprovalMode 1 = Legacy Admin Approval Mode (Default) 2 = Admin Approval Mode with Administrator protection I listed out what 1 and 2 are. If you are in need of this, you are gonna want to set it to a 1. Here is the limited relation to any of this I could find: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-11-26h2 If someone has a question, let me know! submitted by /u/Cranapplesause [link] [comments]
