  • Need a script to find records and data warehouses that are near capacity.

    Guys,

    I'm new to Powershell faitly, is it possible to write a script tht will find virtual disks and data warehouses that are over 90% full?  I also want to export the results to an excel file.

    Thank you.

    For a 90% threshold, you let the value to 0.1.

    Calculate the free space as a percentage, so if the free space is less than or equal to 0.1 there is 10% or less available free space.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Do not put the laptopn close device suas: a fridge that generates a strong magnetic field of the speakers on the TV? What is the effect of the magnetic field, causing the laptop?

    Hi stuckfree,

    Magnets are used in computers for various purposes, for example in the hard drives. Several parts of a laptop computer may be affected by a magnet. More commonly known as material element affected by magnets is the hard drive.

    That is not exactly true. Hard drives are well protected against most of magnetism, and most even use a magnet to turn, but many strong magnets and electromagnets can and will damage a hard drive. More likely to be affected is the BIOS of your computer (Input\Output base system) ROM, which shows how to use the basic components and boot into the operating system to your motherboard.

    So it's best to avoid placing computers\laptops close to all these devices.

  • Tecra R840 touchpad enable / disable driver button?

    Hi all

    The hard drive has failed in the R840 recently so I replaced myself with an SSD.

    It all went well except the installation Windows gave me to find drivers myself. Anyone know where to find the driver for touchpad that lets only put you power on and off (using the button on the space bar)?

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    All Toshiba drivers are on the Toshiba UE driver page.
    I guess that the button near touchpad is controlled by Toshiba Value Package added as well as the driver for the touchpad.

    The two parts of the software are available on the pilot site.

  • are sync and firefox the same account?

    I had one of these pop ups, your FF is slow loading, so I said ok, then hit me in the update to sync... I had problems to connect to change my PW twice and it worked once then not again. so the questions are:
    (1) is firefox account and synchronization are the same?
    (2) they have different pws?
    (3) can I connect out of them taken separately or together?

    (4) how do know if I'm in sync, new or old.
    [first time I tried there was any "disconnect" on my sync page]

    Once I get accounts and PWs straightened, I'll be back with more questions.

    Sorry to be critical, but I think that a lot of the faq and help pages are near worthless. They also carry many assumptions about what you know already if ask you a question. One solution, whatever it IS mentioned [e.g., sync, connection, usename, etc.] should have one < more > link.
