Reading Time: 3 minutesPiù di dieci anni fa avevo scritto un posto su come sia meglio evitare i dischi dinamici di Windows (specialmente Windows Server)… ma a quanto pare c’è ancora chi si ostina ad usarli pensado siano utili e non pensado alle conseguenze. Microsoft Windows Dynamic Disks (chiamati anche Dynamic Volumes) sono un livello di astrazione (introdotto in Windows 2000) sulle partizioni (simile a LVM in ambiente Linux/Unix) per disaccoppiare i volumi (con i relativi dati NTFS) dalle partizioni del disco e avere un maggiore flessibilità, come l’estensione a caldo di un volume semplicemente aggiungendo nuove partizioni […]

If you have a free agent or simply a standalone agent you must manage it directly, including manage its lifecycle. But it remain very easy like in the past (see for example Upgrade to Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 2.2 ), by using directly the Veeam Agent console, where you can check if a new version is available and start the download and upgrade process.
Reading Time: 3 minutesWe are approching an important milestore: January 14, 2020 sets the end of Extended Support for Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2.

End of support means the end of regular security updates, potentially leaving you vulnerable to security and compliance issues.
Reading Time: 3 minutesStarting with vSphere 5.1, the VMware Tools update procedure was no more requiring a Windows VM reboot to finalize the process (see also VMware Tools unattended upgrade). But there were some cases where a reboot was still necessary (see VMware Tools 5.1 upgrade may restart your Windows VM).
