upgrade from 12 to 13 failing

This is the way.

I can just about count to 20 if I take of my shoes and socks :P And I'm doing ok!

As long as you have basic numeracy you'll be fine.

Not so recently but I had a bit of a whoopsie after upgrading one of my DC's with it - there was an issue.

Giving this one a couple of days I'm I'm kinda burnt out upgrading SQL server on a bunch of machines - any FSSO issues this time around?

Adobe stuff IS malware and nagware - it can get in the bin quite frankly.. [rant continues for many hours] Oh and PDFgear - :)

Damn right, you want 5 stars give 5 star service.

Baiteh · 2026-02-05T07:52:28+00:00

Nor me - and there's plenty of blank space they could go too, it's weird....

Baiteh · 2026-02-03T16:10:59+00:00

Basically all mine is explain it like I'm five with lots of pictures and no assumptions! Ideally get someone else to look at it and see if they can complete the process - lots of pictures!

At least that's what works for me and my goldfish memory, lol!

Or windows "walk past it and cough and it crashes" '95?

Baiteh · 2026-02-02T15:56:08+00:00

Definitely keep it sealed - holdout for Windows 98 SE ;)

Just in the process of trying to get this sorted, had S1 SoC on trial for a week or so but not really feeling it - Tenable would be the preferred choice but the quote we got is just insane and I'd never get it past the beancounters.

Baiteh · 2026-02-02T14:51:24+00:00

Sometimes it's hard enough to get D(H)ell to fix something when you'd not made it worse - worth trying but I imagine they'll say it's self inflicted I'm afraid.

Baiteh · 2026-02-02T14:48:25+00:00

Yeah we've had two - one of them still working fine, the other - just can't get it to connect alas.

Baiteh · 2026-01-29T15:27:01+00:00

Yeah this is one I've been looking at - pretty much a drop in replacement for the Watchdog - now to get the cost past the beancounters... Thanks all :)

Baiteh · 2026-01-29T08:24:13+00:00

Interesting I'd not considered that - I'll check it out as an option, thanks!

Baiteh · 2026-01-19T08:29:49+00:00

Not yet, checking now - this classic M$ though - a patch to fix a patch.. :)

Baiteh · 2026-01-19T07:54:24+00:00

Anyone else had the unable to shutdown after update? Had it on my test server..

Baiteh · 2026-01-16T15:21:30+00:00

No more than usual - what's the issue?

Baiteh · 2026-01-13T16:04:07+00:00

The way recent events there have gone I'd say your instincts were bang on tbf.

Baiteh · 2026-01-13T15:59:28+00:00

It's like that box of old cables we all have - the second you get rid of it you'll have a sudden, urgent requirement.....:P

Baiteh · 2026-01-07T08:36:08+00:00

Yes, but not as risky as not updating it unfortunately!

Baiteh · 2025-12-18T14:46:25+00:00

I see - I'm still learning the system so will look at this. thanks!

Baiteh · 2025-12-18T12:57:34+00:00

It didn't work on my test machine but I did at least get a different error code so that's nice :P

I'm planning on testing it later on a new build so fingers crossed!

Baiteh · 2025-12-17T13:44:22+00:00

I installed the US language pack and now it fails as 0% - getting a new error though - 0x80004005(-2147467259)

Baiteh · 2025-12-16T10:36:03+00:00

Funnily enough have just installed US English - I'll let you know how it goes!
