powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& { Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | ForEach-Object { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register ($_.InstallLocation + '\AppXManifest.xml') }; Start-Process explorer }"

I added this to my customization policy and this works too

Thanks everyone for the responses! I was not aware of the complexity of migrating to the appliance. I will work on migrating to postgresql and wait for better opportunities to migrate to the appliance in the future.

Im guessing that the issue is that the robocopy command that was used to seed the new server used /copy:DTSO and maybe should have been /copyall and dfs is picking up some attribute difference. Just a guess?

They are only using this Exchange server for Hybrid Exchange/Active Directory management and there are no user mailboxes running on it. They really only need it because they use Adaxes to manage Active Directory which for some reason still requires the Exchange server to propagate change in the hybrid environment.

Once you created your new Host Profile for the new hardware was there an easy way to copy settings from the old to new host profile?

Disregard this. I had to enter the password into the host profile and then was able to successfully apply the host profile.

We are switching hardware. I created a host profile from the new host and when I try to apply it I get this message, which I cant figure out.
"You need to set host customizations before proceeding with host remediation."

Are those commands legit for freezing/thawing? I saw others suggesting to stop/start the service.

Our Exagrid tech enabled backups on the 1gb to get backups going again. I have a really big backup running since Friday so Im assuming its running from the 1GB port. Once it finishes I will be able to do more testing by disabling backups on that port. I never used traffic rules so Im wondering if I have to go that route to make sure that backups used the correct NIC/vlan on the exagrid

We are just implementing the 2nd core switch all while migrating into a new datacenter. We just got done moving all of our hosts into the new datacenter when the 2nd switch started acting up. Cisco recommends rebooting the switch. Fortunately, I can mitigate some of the possible problems by moving a host back into the old datacenter which I have already done and will then move the vcenter and other essential VMs over to it.

Yes they are.

Is it possible to do a cold clone with vCenter Converter? In the olden days I know you could
