What Are You Doing Right Now

About to clean install Windows 10 on my work PC. Performed the upgrade some time ago and I keep finding too many things that are broken from the upgrade.

Hope everyone is having a great day
Had a wonderful get together with my brother in NYC. Saw his band Sundrones play. They were amazing. -
Installing XenServer for the first time

Hell yes! You will likely enjoy the benefits of it several fold compared to the competition.

@DustinB3403 I played with free ESXi a while back and thought it was time to try something new
-
Free ESXi should only ever be used to realize why you shouldn't be using ESXi.
It's so gutted that it's worthless in every market share...

Several fold? I haven't found that to be the case. Other than not paying the $600 essentials license, and $125/yr for new versions, XenServer hasn't been OMG I can't believe I didn't move before.
Now, if I had been on Hyper-V this whole time.. yeah I'd be happy as a pig in sh*t, single pain to control, see everything, just like VMWare - yes please!

LOL - don't get me wrong - XenServer is fine - I've had no problems with it since I stood it up 2 weeks ago.
In fact I'm configuring a production server in it right now.
and if you have already spent the $600 on Essentials - I don't really see a reason to change (especially if your backups work directly at the VM level and don't support an agent).
But if you're standing up something new - yeah, you should definitely check out XS.
-
XenServer installed. How do I connect to it?
-
You'll need XenCenter to get started, open a web browser from your system and enter the IP address of the XS server to download the client.
-
Connected to host with XenCenter. I have an ISO on my laptop I want to use to create a VM. I dont see an option to browse my local drive. Am I missing something?
-
You need to create an ISO repository, then you can access it, and create VM's.

No local drives. Just share out a folder from your local machine for now and throw the ISO in there. Works just fine. Once you are in production you'll want a little NFS NAS for that. But it's for install ISOs so anything is just fine.
