Tell a Story day is coming up on April 27th, and were working on an interactive story for it.

IT Adventures: Episode Five - Replacement Holidays.

However, I was not the one who coordinated it. And they would provide a certificate of destruction as well. In times past I have worked for companies even as recently as a year ago that would come and get our retired IT equipment at no charge.

Is there such a thing as free e-cycling anymore? Hardware.

SpiceWorld is back in Austin from September 5th-7th and I want to see you all there with me! While we've seen a lot of registrations from the community come in, it seems as though some of you still need a bit more convincing or a better understanding of t. If you haven’t registered for SpiceWorld yet - Watch this! Spiceworks.Microsoft Corporation Windows 7 Enterprise star 4.8.Goes without saying that if I pull the network cable out of the laptop (company network) as it's turning on/shutting down, it finishes the process about 5 seconds after. I've flushed DNS, released and renewed the IP address, Disabled IPv6 and set the Network Location Awareness service to Manual. None of which are doing me any favours. Pretty much all seem to have the words 'Connection.' 'DNS.' 'Routable.' 'Failed.'. Upon looking in the Even Logs (Custom Logs, Administrative Events) all I see is yellow and red. Then, what's even better is the fact that it takes around (literally) 3 hours to startup, hanging on the 'Please Wait' screen. It just hangs on the 'Shutting Down' screen.

The problem I'm having is that the laptop can take around 45 minutes to shutdown. This wont have anything to do with my issue, but it seems like it could be an indicator - the fact it didnt come down to the laptop automatically like 99% of the others I have built. After waiting forever I installed it manually. We use SCCM to rollout software and updates etc and this never came down.

I have just built a new laptop and added it to the domain where I work.
