Intel raid is basically a software implementation in UEFI/BIOS instead of the OS. There's no dedicated processor/ram like at LSI card and all the workload is sent to the shared resources, similar to the old WinTel software modems that became popular. Nothing necessarily wrong with it, but its not hardware raid. The Intel software will only work with their arrays, all the vendors to my knowledge do their own proprietary thing for drivers and controlling software. Intel does make some hardware raid controllers but that's all for server class hardware. Not sure if RST would know what to do with those, probably a separate software package.

Mr Crucial posted:Has anyone else come across this issue: a brand new install of Win10 1709 in a VM. However, most of the trusted root certificates for the internet are missing, so that almost every site on the web gives me a certificate error with an untrusted root CA as the issue. This even includes Microsoft's own website rear end well as Google and Mozilla, so I can't download Chrome or Firefox to try and get around this. Root CAs come through an automatic routine that runs daily or Windows Update failing that. The root trusts ship pre-loaded regardless. Neither of those would function if your trusts were wiped out. Either your image is tampered with or something else that was installed wiped it out post-install.

Fragmentation kills throughput because the data layout isn't working with the disk geometry, you're talking about a couple extra ms as the head jumps to a new location on the platter compounded over thousands of operations. It's not enough to cause full-on stalls which are more often a symptom hardware issues but it will negatively impact performance.

To answer your question, no. Batch scripts to do not have a native way of sleeping for a specified interval. The wait/sleep command was part of a resource kit thing that distributed with 2003 but was optional. Pings default to 1s interval and the typical solution is to ping localhost -n [x] for however many seconds you need.

When it moved on to the CPU die, it freed up a lot of space to work with and the needs it was accommodating sorta became irrelevant. But yeah, I miss it. At least OEM ATX case designs got better after the BTX shakeup. gently caress those clamshell Dells

Paul MaudDib posted:Would it be an easier fix to virtualize a W10 instance on my fileserver that could serve stuff on the local network via the normal mechanism? Anything in particular I would have to do to make it visible, apart from the usual Windows Update settings? Why not just use the P2P update topology that's already built in to the OS? The inbound files should be staggered enough that you won't get the same content pulling down at the same time unless manually triggering updates at the same time on each system. If you're dead-set on it, you can point your Pro clients at the WSUS mirror through a local policy without domain enrolling them. But you're still probably in CAL-HELL at that point.

Avenging Dentist posted:What's the current best practice for splitting some of Windows' system folders across disks? I want the OS on C:\ (an SSD, of course), but user accounts on E:\ (an HDD). I'd like programs to go on either drive (stuff I use a lot on C:\ and less-used stuff on E:\), but I think that should be easy enough by just specifying the install location for each program in its wizard. After searching for docs on how to do this, I found that there are lots of good ways to gently caress up your computer if you do this wrong, hence this post. If this is a single-user system, repoint specific folders like Downloads/Music/Videos to that other drive but don't attempt to repoint C:\Users it is a lesson in pain

Digirat posted:Does windows 10 not list security updates in its update history? I kept automatic updates delayed as much as possible but just manually updated, and windows update now says I'm up to date. However I'm not seeing any recent security updates there except an old flash player one. the meltdown/spectre updates are not there. This was technical a new build and yeah it doesn't consistently list in the windows update history. You can see it in the legacy "installed updates" view in the control panel.

It's using the old partitioning style with a limit of 4 primary partitions and then however many extended inside of those (probably doesn't matter for you). I believe secure boot requires GPT and that's a good feature that you should be using now that you're in UEFI mode. There are some free tools to convert an MBR disk to GPT, I don't think windows can do it natively. https://www.easeus.com/partition-master/convert-mbr-to-gpt-during-windows-installation.html

Correct, the pin unlocks the TPM which releases the drive encryption key. If you are using pre-boot protection then other mechanisms like firmware/bootloader/whatever fingerprints are also checked before/in place of the pin.

Windows biggest liability is its ability to run arbitrary code without any appreciable kind of sandboxing or containerization, S solves most of that.

I'd say taking that away from kids is a crime but then again even my shithole school had locked down their PCs pretty well by that time (I just found a stash of goodies installed locally) and it's not like kids these days give a gently caress about computers or Nintendo 64 games, so I have to agree, S Mode makes perfect sense for schools. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure most educational software is still from like the 90s or something so that'll likely be a problem. RemoteApp stuff and two Remote Desktop Services servers will get all that stuff running without a huge amount of fuss or expense assuming your infrastructure can support it. Even marginally lovely wifi should be able to handle it now that they've optimized the RDP protocols with RemoteFX and h.264 support.
