FSRM and setting quotas with PowerShell Scripts

I am not going to go into how to do it only that for Powershell scripts that use FSRM cmdlets to work it appears you need to reboot twice! We were running a hardening script on some SQL boxes and part of the script installs FSRM if it's not already there. So after it installs it often needs a reboot again no big deal reboot run the script again.... well we try to run the script and no matter what it says the FSRM commands are not there. So we open up the Powershell ISE we can even see the cmdlets in the ISE...huh weird we tried a few different things and then headed off to Google after nothing else worked. I found one obscure post from an Azure board where the guy had to reboot twice.... I thought no way, but why not since we did not have any other ideas....TADA! Script ran fine ...seriously F you Microsoft.... You cost me some more hours of my life.... so I guess the lesson of the day is if you can't figure out why something that should work isn't reboot again ....ugh!

All things Organized

As I mentioned in my last post I was tired of having a folder full of bookmarks to get to everything on my network...I have a bunch of stuff and it sucks. So I had seen someone discussing Organizr ( https://organizr.app/ ) a while back and thought yep its time to make this work. So I set up a new jail on my new FreeNas server as I mentioned in the last post and got to work. So after quite a bit of experimentation, reading, playing, downloading custom JPEGs etc this is where I ended up at. A landing page with all my links that can be easily updated as needed. There are some people out there doing some awesome things with it and I may add more things over time. So here is a few screenshots etc. Some items do not like being in an iframe and some I just let pop out to their own windows. Just depends on how they act.  As I also mentioned the other day I finally got around to getting Lidarr installed in a jail as well. ( https://lidarr.audio/ ) I have been a little l

Finished SVS upgrades

 Finally replaced my last 2 Polk T-15 surrounds with SVS satellites, not a huge improvement in any way but call it my OCD I like having all the base channels the same. SVS was having a sale on them for 124 each in Piano black. The post on their outlet said they were missing threads on the back, but I can't see anything wrong with them and they have the wall mounting hardware on them...soooo i dunno maybe just a bit overstocked and wanted to get rid of some. I do need to find some better stands as the stands I have do not close tight enough to hold them. I just took some of the cloth from the box and wrapped some door/window shims with it to hold them for now until I find something better.  But it took the better part of 2 years slowly buying the pieces but my main stereo has all been upgraded.  SVS Prime Pinnacles - Piano Black SVS Prime Center - Black ash SVS Prime Elevation - Black ash SVS Satellites - Piano Black 2 Monolith 12 inch Subwoofers - Black ash 1 Polk 12 PSW-505  (prob

Little Healthcare/Cash for Clunkers Humor

Not much to post today but the following Clunker  Math The person who calculated this bit of information is now and has been a professor at The University of West Virginia in Morgantown, West Virginia for the last forty some years. A clunker that travels 12,000 miles a year at 15 mpg uses 800 gallons of gas a year. The government claims 700,000 clunkers have been replaced so that’s 224 million gallons saved per year. A vehicle  that travels 12,000 miles a year at 25 mpg uses 480 gallons of gas a year. So, the average Cash for Clunkers transaction will reduce gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year. That  equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil~5 million barrels is about 5 hours worth of US consumption. More importantly, 5 million barrels of oil at $70 per barrel costs about $350 million dollars. So, the government paid $3 billion of our tax dollars to save  $350   million.... We  spent  $8.57  for every  $1.00  we saved .   I’m pretty sure they will do a bette
