My new blog. Coming soon. Welcome to my new blog/web site. Guess it's a little of both. Or neither. I thought I would work on some content before going live and even then gradually publish entries. In addition to everything else I'm also trying to learn WordPress.
R520 Hyper-V 2019: Lets try this again
After being very frustrated with the performance of the combination of virtual machines and my drive pool, I decided to re-install Hyper-V server 2019. Before doing so however I decided it would be a good idea to go through and record some settings in case I needed to go back to a prior configuration.

R520 Hyper-V 2019: Well that was fun
After spending I don't know how long on various adventures through first setting up Hyper-V 2019 on the server then further adventures of properly configuring networking on the server I've come to the conclusion the performance of the virtual machines is not good enough.

These meta entries were intended to be more posts about the posts. Stuff that may not make sense to go into in an actual post. That didn't really last very long though.

Folder junction, what’s your function
Classic For the record I am in fact not old enough to get that reference. The reference to the folder junction what's your function not to the Captain America meme specifically because that what's-your-function thing..is..from...a..70s...forget it. I've been planning to have my own emulation setup for a long time now. Actually made quite a lot … Continue reading Folder junction, what’s your function
Windows auto-installing: background and introduction

It's a little background on my prior windows automated installation experience. Also this entirely about XP/2003. This project is indirectly … Continue reading Windows auto-installing: background and introduction
Hyper-V 2019, on a R520
This is a follow up post to my several prior posts about both Hyper-V 2019 as an OS, using the Hyper-V hyper-visor for virtualization and my server hardware of choice the Dell R520. This post will act as both re-write and follow-up to my previous post about Hyper-V 2019. I'm going to just leave the … Continue reading Hyper-V 2019, on a R520
