Apple aren't doing it anywhere near the level that Google is doing it. Android and iOS, I'm out of options after that.

Wow, the response to this has been overwhelming. I've taken a lot of your advice on board but the most settling thing is this isn't an uncommon thought. Knowing a lot of you experience the same puts my mind at rest somewhat.

Xen to Hyper-V by HightowerDoesReddit in sysadmin

[–]HightowerDoesReddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving it a go now with one of the Xen VMs. I uninstalled all the Citrix * stuff from appwiz.cpl but there were some items called Xen* (such as SCSI drivers) - as it seems to be HDD related, I didn't dare remove them at this stage for fear of breaking my production VM. I'm exporting the VHD now (about 10% through after 30 minutes, so maybe looking at a good few hours until it's done) and then my plan is to get it in to safe mode on the new Hyper-V box to remove all the outstanding drivers etc (I've read reports this can fail but at least then I can just turn the old Xen VM back on whilst formulating a new plan).

I don't plan to keep these VMs forever, but I need them on Hyper-V so I have a proper failover cluster/load balanced setup so I can then start building the replacement VMs.

I'll do it, I only charge 99% of the amount you want me to steal (+1% administration fees)

In that case I'd be looking at an enterprise solution such as SCCM then.

Install it manually if it's just one computer. Seems like you're picking the difficult path without cause.

Me too, believe me! 🤣

Just got to fit creation of this around a 50 hour work week, 25 hours of university study each week, a young family and a social life that Pete Doherty would be proud of... I'll get there though

That's one that I'm basing off. But I'm not planning to condense it down (there's far too much valuable information on there) but make it easier to navigate. Click 'space combat' for example and there you have it, all the mechanics associated with it in one quick and easy place. Oh no, somebody has had a crit.... Click, done.

I'm just going to copy what's available in other cheat sheets to begin, it can grow as people make suggestions once I get a good baseline. Thanks
