Hi,
I found a really great KB for P2V migration with Vconverter. I found 2 very interresting settings :
1 – Turn off SSL
2 – if you have more than one disk not Raid, but logical disk : use data connection per task settings.

We would like to sensitize you on basic rules when you are receiving emails. It is important to understand that even if there is currently security rules in place, it is possible that infected emails arrive in your mailbox. People that will create that type of harmful email will use all sort of strategy to bypass security rules.
A recent study from Wikipedia on harmful software’s categorised as ( Ransomware ) in November 2012
( Mcafee provider of antivirus softwares , reports to have recorded over 120 000 new variations for this type of virus in 2012. Four times more then the year before )
Here is some basic rules you should consider:
1: If you are being contacted by mail and being asked for personal information , Call the company to be sure that it is legitimate or delete the email.
2: Even If it is easy to detect a fraudulent character of some emails, other mail appear to be from a valid and reliable online address. Do not trust the name and address listed in the “From” field, since it can be easily modified.
3: Never provide personal information that would have been asked in an unsolicited mail, even if the site to which you are redirected seems legit . Check with the company requesting the information before filling personal information online
4: Beware of email being sent asking you to make a payment in profit of banking companies
5: Before providing banking information like MasterCard or visa credit card numbers, be sure that you have proper online security requirement like the ( padlock ) before the fully qualified internet address.
6: Send back an email to any persons who you think could have sent you a weird ( attachments ) to be sure it is legit. If the email comes back to you immediately, delete it !
7: Beware of very short emails asking you to open the current attachment. Often you will never have asked for information about the email
8: Classic cases where people are being caught.
( Here is your bill ! you are being asked to make a payment from a company you don’t even know )
( Your Purolator or Fedex order has arrived )
( Here is my C.V. for a job )
( A list of product that could be sold to your company )
Beware of double extensions in attachments ( .pdf.exe – .doc.bat )
Beware of the following extensions ( .zip – .exe – .com – .bat – .vbs – .rar )
The intention of the people behind this type of email is to get you to open it without questioning yourself !!!
Best protection will be your judgement and vigilance

Hi,
When you boot your Linux Box and your mysqld doesn’t start auto, you try manually and you receive this error : Another MySQL daemon already running with the same unix socket.
Do this : (Root Account)
mv /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock.bak
service mysqld start

Hi,
I found when I recovered a VMs with Veeam version 8 update 2, the Nic card was not showing. This is related to the change of the MAC Address.
You need to ensure in this file :
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
You have only one ETH0 and also the MAC ADDRESS in this file, matches the MAC address of your NIC Card in the VMware Properties!
After to ensure your NIC configuration follow update you MAC address inside this file also.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Hi,
With the newer sonicwall 5.9+ os, there’s minor differences when you setup the SSL VPN from previous OS.
Not so tricky, but, when I try to login from a windows 8.1 machine I face an SSL error with the self signed ?
please make sure the server has valid certificate …
You need to change the following settings :
SSL VPN -> Server Settings -> Check Enable Server Cipher Preferences -> Select : 3DES_SHA1.
Reconnect and work….. Cheers..
FYI on the Mac the connection was working with the default settings.
Hi,
I’m using VMware for now nearly 10 years. I heard a lot of nice feature of Hyper-V. Now I will jump into it and share some discovery.
First, I’m Vmware, so I want to have Hyper-V run on my VMware workstation. Thanks to another tech – blogger, (I will not take the credit)
http://www.rickygao.com/enable-hyper-v-under-vmware-workstation-for-your-lab/
Also I wanted to create template, but I don’t have System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).
http://oxfordsbsguy.com/2014/06/02/how-to-create-a-hyper-v-vm-template-without-vmm/
First read it’s always “Best Practices”

Stay tune, all tips I found I will share.

Hi,
You have a french OS, all in french, you download SQL Server in French, you start the setup and you face this error :
This SQL Server setup media does not support the language of the OS, or does not have the SQL Server English-language version installation files. Use the matching language-specific SQL Server media; or install both the language specific MUI and change the format and system locales through the regional settings in the control panel.
Don’t panic, you check all your regional settings, your in French (Canada)…. Why it’s not working….. I don’t know, but change all your regional settings to French (France). Start the setup, install and enjoy.
Put back your regional setting back to french canada after the setup.
Thanks Microsoft,
