  Hi Aldo,.
  As directed by the PM, I sent you, I genericised the script a bit more, it should be easier to use (no need to the Standard.ps1 file).  Similarly the name of your Center virtual servers don't need to be put in a separate file CSV file is
  To avoid having to create credentials files, delete the following lines...
  # Load password credential from encrypted file
  $pass = Get-Content $PassFile | ConvertTo-SecureString
  $user = Get-Content $UserFile
  $cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential($user, $pass)
  
  .. .and replace by (the script will prompt you for the user/pass)...
  $cred = Get-Credential
  
  Hope this gets you operational.
  Note that I found to NIC and driver versions HBA is quite unreliable using this script, that there is a lot of consistency in what is returned by ICM to hardware vendors.  More on the servers I tested with firmware HBA was never available.  A more reliable, but more complex method is to use PowerShell for SSH for your ESX, which has its own problems, but is another approach (when you do audits of system I tend to use both).  See below for more info...

• Belkin router low with USB for storage drive and Windows 7 do not get along?

  Hi all!

  We have a Belkin N wireless router + with a USB stick 'slot' in the back with the rest of the cables. The USB option is actually the only thing that made me buy the router in the 1st place! Anyway, it does not work when connected to the router, even if the network is running perfectly. It is a Seagate external hard drive and when it is plugged it's high lights of the page, there is no power cable so that it can be plugged into the wall. NTFS system I think. I use Windows 7. I tried so many different things, trying to connect this dag on drive to the router, I've exhausted all efforts, it seems. On belkin under my model site there a Belkin Storage Manager, but there isn't even a request, is just a plateau that is located on the bottom of my screen, the only thing I can do for her, is shut, it is the only command that opens. Oh and the website says also I can enter my routers address in IE followed by a slash and the name of my seagate... the drive is H, so I tried different versions of H:, tried FreeAgentDrive, etc...

  .. I think it is a windows problem, b/c not only not Seagate turn on, under the watch USB (via IE, default routers page layout), the connected router settings. In addition to the light on the front of the router is 'active', blue and work.

  HM... I run windows 7 Professional / 64-bit / don't know not what other information I have to give... I don't think that the external hard drive would have it's own IP address when you are connected to the router... could it? Also, my service is comcast with dynamic IP address assignments... so it would not stay dry alike... correct?

  Oh, and the external hard drive works wonderful connected directly to my laptop and an XP computer at work... so router maybe not is not talking computer properly the drive... I should have some sort of security "allowances" on this drive until I put it on belkin?

  I'm sorry this is a NOVEL, someone help please? I've been addressed under and turned off for a year... I get very frustrated with this!

• Dell NX3000 (running Windows Storage Server) contact Dell MD1000 (raid 5): driver version is up-to-date

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my storage system

  

  How can I do with this warning?

  Thank you cordially!

  Sorry for my bad English

  I would like to start by getting all updated on the server. Make sure the Bios is being updated, and then update the controller driver and firmware are up to date. Then you must update the storport driver as well and that will get rid of this warning you see here. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

• 3.5U4 update and QLA2340 driver version?

  ! file:///C:/DOCUME_{1/lchitwoo/people of the COUNTRY}1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png! file:///C:/DOCUME_{1/lchitwoo/people of the COUNTRY}1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png! I'm upgrading to 3.5u4, HCL for the QLA2340 HBA back two shots with different notes that refer to different versions of the QLA2340 pilot.

  1 qla2x00_707 version 7.07.04.01

  2 qla2300_707_vmw version 7.08 - vm32

  Nobody knows who is suitable for the QLA2340 driver?

  HCL research screenshot is attached.

  Yes, FYI the readers that come with ESX have been certified to work, that's why they go to the trouble to ensure that your machines are on the HCL at 100%.

  Drivers are unified solutions, which means that when you install a newer version of ESX with newer drivers, if they have certified the BIOS, firmware for qlogic cards will be automatically updated on the reboot of the server.

  So, bottom line is that you don't need to worry about 3rd pilot decision-making, ESX will take care of all THE drivers and firmware for HCL devices.

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

• How do I know the hardware version WRT54G to only the firmware version and date

  Hi - on a Linksys WRT54G, serial numbers and the version number have
  been worn except in the case of the unit, so I don't know what version it is. He has since been released in it's 'safe place' to which I don't have physical access (and yet they want me to admin it). Don't think that I even get cable connect, wireless only. Gee. In any case... of the configuration screens I see:

  The current version of the firmware is 1.00.6 January 20, 2006.
  I could, I guess that to get the MAC address

  The default login and password are what is active.

  Can you tell what version of the material is, so that I can download the
  good firmware flash update?
  Thank you

  The best way is to check the hardware, but as you mentioned, it is not an option. I suggest that you check each firmware release notes, check the previous firmware versions and dates on each version of the output material. However, it may be tedious.

• 09.0 "NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver display driver, Version 209.01 unresponsive and has successfully recovered".

  "NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver display driver, Version 260.99 stopped responding and has successfully recovered." My screen, hang up, then flashes, then turns off, then comes back on, the same month so much MORE Simple ERROR CODE? How do I stop this? With a SIMPLE ANSWER! (BUY A MAC)

  "It is not a true crash, in the sense that the blue screen was launched only because the combination of material and video driver video was to be insensitive and not because of any exception processing synchronous".

  Since Vista, the components of "Timeout detection and recovery" (TDR) of the subsystem video OS have been able to do some really impressive things to try to find issues that would have led to the earlier OS like XP to crash.

  As a last resort, the TDR subsystem sends a video driver command "Please restart you now!" and wait a few seconds.
  If there is no answer, the BONE concludes that the combo of driver/hardware video has really collapsed in a heap, and it fires at this stop 0 x 116 BSOD.

  If playing with video driver versions did not help, make sure that the box is not overheated.
  Try to remove a side panel and a fan of big sector directly to the motherboard and GPU.
  Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to check whether the cooler temperatures make a difference.

  If so, it could be as simple as dust accumulation and inadequate cooling afterwards.

  I download cpu - z and gpu - z (both free) and keep an eye on the video time

  I always get the following error message "display driver nvidia windows kernel mode driver version 310.64 stopped responding and has successfully recovered". It sometimes lets my screen refresh but often he kills to the video out all together and I have no choice but to hard restart my system. I did the thing to uninstall/reinstall Nvidia, Dell and Windows all with no success. I am running windows 7, graphics Nvidia Gforce GTS250 in a Dell XPS420. Any ideas out there are appreciated!

  Your Dell was origonally supplied with Vista, there is no win7 drivers available from Dell.

  All drivers obtained through windows Update are generic drivers.

  I also assume that its a Nvidia card you have purchased.

  Account these two elements that he may very well be an incompatibility with drivers problem, for which there is no resolution on the current hardware

  I don't know what you have installed, but HP lists only single display drivers 8.15.11.8644A out on 09/01/2009

  It seems that you install either Nvidia graphics, and if you had looked at the Release notes you would see it is a driver for reference only and may differ the driver provided by the manufacturer of your laptop.

  So I guess you can install other drivers via update of windows, which is a no no.

• Display driver hangs on the computer and the error message "display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 has stopped working and recovered."

  Original title: NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 display driver has stopped working and recovered.

  Hiya,

  I have recently installed Windows 8 Pro, installed all of my usual applications etc..
  The problem I've encountered is maintaining display driver crashing. Or have waiting periods. The exact error message reads;
  "Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 has stopped working and recovered."
  Until now it expires randomly even when the computer is idle, and more frequently when I watch videos online. Also, watch a clip full screen on some sites like YouTube is ok, but on others, it is very laggy (updated maybe once per second the image) and the sound is out of sync.
  I can't find a way to properly uninstall the graphics driver.

  At least yours is working semi... I have the GTS 450 (uses the same drivers) and the mine does not at all... Stuck with the regular game pilot integrated ATM and can not all games... Microsoft told me to wait a few weeks and for the reminder and Nvida said 10 ways to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for same. Hope someone with to get a fix for this soon.

  Hi guys,.
  Looks like this isn't just me.
  Just an update, that I can not confirm it as a solution, but I have not encountered any problem (a little screenlag aside) since the installation of the drivers beta. For me, the beta version of the driver is 310.33, R130. The only other change to my system updates Adobe Flash version packaged with Google Chrome to 11.4.31X to 11.4.402 to eliminate serious problems when you watch the video in full screen.
  Information system;
  Operating system: Windows 8 Build Pro with Media Center 64-bit, 9200
  CPU: AMD FX-8150 eight physical cores
  GPU: ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 TI

  It may be useful
  Edit: Still not falling down, 11/02/12, 4 days
  
  
  New edition;
  
  
  If you still receive the error message, try the following steps;
  Has. try to perform a clean installation of the driver.
  Download the latest drivers for your graphics card. Run the downloaded file, and select "Custom Installation". In the next screen, you will see a checkbox or similar labeled "Clean Install".
       
  
  You can do so by visiting nVidia Driver Downloads (www.nvidia.com/Drivers). Automatically detect the right driver or download using the form. The best way in my opinion is to use the GeForce experience, who will do anything for you in two clicks and a reboot.
  B. close all other programs
  It is possible that the error was caused by too many programs that need to use the resources provided by the graphics card/chip. It is also possible that a certain program caused a conflict that pilots crashed.
  You can try closing some currently open programs one by one and see if the error persists, or restart your system with disabled startup programs and allow them one by one to find the culprit. If the error is too persistent to do the above, it would be easier to start in safe mode option.
