EDIT: And what's with this DAMN password manager thing that keeps popping up every time I open a browser window asking for my desktop password? Anybody using this instead of Password Safe or the other password managers? Or in addition to?I don't. For me, it's a matter of trust. I won't store my passwords in the Microsoft cloud.
Ahhh. Nevermind. It's a Lenovo tool. I have disabled the sucker. Let's hope it doesn't continue to pop up.

Oh, and the bloody desktop booted clean to windows on the first try tonight and is behaving itself...Did you just upgrade to Windows 10?
Err, no.
win10 is a beautiful experience.
It looks like your tongue is so far in your cheek that it's sticking out of your ear - is that about right?
No no seriously, bar the fact that I cant control updates anymore I really like talking to my PC. Its just different.
I hate, hate, HATE the fact that we can't control updates anymore. How does that work in an Enterprise environment when you need to test the updates first before deploying to production machines?
And if they made an exception for business users, why can't they make an exception for those of us who use our home machines for business or are techies or both?
In a corp environment, presumably they'd be using Pro / Enterprise which can at least be pointed to a WSUS server for the updates. A decent WSUS admin would work with the AD guys so that they could approve updates for a test group first, make sure nothing breaks, then approve and push them to the remainder of the desktops.
But, for a home user regardless of the edition, unless you want to stand up your own WSUS setup, you're stuck.
I also noticed on mine, that there's another default on the updates options...
Where your machine will "share" updates with other machines INCLUDING ON THE INTERNET.
Needless to say, I *IMMEDIATELY* switched this to only allow sharing of update files with PCs on my local network (I thought about off, but my laptop is on intermittently so this ought to make it quicker to get the updates.)

It's definately one of those settings that it would be real nice if MS would put up front and in-your-face during the setup of the OS and give you the option then, rather than burying it 2-3 screens deep...
The only way they could have made it any "easier" to find would be to put the announcement "in a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard.'"

The 'share with other machines on local network' option is awesome for me. I'll have two machines running Win 10 and one running Server 2012 R2. If I can save on downloading the large updates more times than strictly necessary, I will. GB+ still takes a few hours here. Download once, apply to two machines, yes please.

I just installed Win10 on my laptop last night. But only because my main hard drive failed and I had to buy a new one. The failed SSD was still running when the new SDD arrived so I tried cloning using the acronis that was included with the new SSD, but the existing SSD completely failed during the cloning process. Fortunately I basically only had binaries on the SSD with docs and stuff on the original spinning disk.
I had gotten used to the Win 8.1 experience and there are enough differences in Win 10 to make me a little uncomfortable, but in a week or so I'm sure I'll be fine. I am not a fan of the new way updates are being done, but I understand why MS is doing it, especially since they are moving toward that subscription model where they don't release new versions, just updates.

If I only used my machine on my home network, I would agree. Unfortunately, I tend to tote it around with me. I don't trust that the sharing feature won't be hacked someday and allow someone access to my machine when I'm out in public.

Thank you so much, Brandie. Like I said, I'm still new to Windows 10...about a week now. I haven't decided if I like it or not; it's just different. I've heard several good things about it and it came on the new laptop I bought last weekend. I figure I'm going to have to learn it eventually anyway. My wife is on her way not to buy Office 2016 for it right now.
Last week, I set up a new SQL Server on Windows Server 2012 R2 and it has the metro interface as well. Like I said, it's just different.

I hate it. Call me old fashioned or something, but it takes me longer to to anything.

Yeah, it takes me longer to find some stuff, but it does have one serious advantage I've seen - clustering.
I thought setting up a cluster on Server 2012 was so much simpler than the debacle on Server 2008. It's simple to set up and it just works well.

I've been at the new job for 2 months now. The past week or so I have been trying to make sense of the "noise" being sent from the monitoring, alerts, SQL jobs, and the third-party that monitors our servers.
I'm using a semi-production server as my test bed. I cleaned up the various SQL jobs by making sure notifications went out in the event of failure, cleaned up the largely inconsistent names, and made some minor changes to the maintenance.
So far, so good.
I then tacked the alerts. We have 78 different alerts configured. As an example, there are 7 for different backup failures, and 1 for backup successes. All of them have the same response, and duplicated what the monitoring did.
I got rid of them, and set up the 10 standard alerts that have been part of my bag of tricks for as long as I can remember.
Within seconds, these alerts fired:
Severity 21:
DESCRIPTION:Attempt to fetch logical page (1:3344) in database 2 failed. It belongs to allocation unit 422215679541248 not to 3819052769257390080.
Severity 20:
DESCRIPTION:SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x80090311, state 14 while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. Reason: AcceptSecurityContext failed. The Windows error code indicates the cause of failure. [CLIENT: 11.11.11.11].
Alert - Error 824:
DESCRIPTION:SQL Server detected a logical consistency-based I/O error: incorrect pageid (expected 1:11064; actual 1:14528). It occurred during a read of page (1:11064) in database ID 2 at offset 0x00000005670000 in file 'T:\DBs\tempdb.mdf'. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log or system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.
It's going to be a loooooong weekend.

I'm running nothing but Server 2012R2 on my home servers, and the solution is to just add the shortcuts for those items right to the tile interface and/or the taskbar. Makes it easy to get to them, at least as easy as in 2008R2.
