Now that you mention it, it was cut paste and the quotes I had was the wrong kind! So here's my next issue - for the install to work users need to have their browser closed as well as any Office applications - would GPO be the best way to deploy this one? I would really like to avoid user

Look at Avaya switches. They have the 5600 series that is gig capable, with good density. There's a campus management platform, the switches support POE, and the CLI is logical and well thought out, and Crisco experience transfers with little adaptation required. From: Paul Hutchings

What OS are they running? If they are running Win7 Ultimate/Enterprise, you can set them up (after a fair amount of work) with DA/UAG. Otherwise, it might be possible that the VPN they're using has a facility to run a script after login. Since I don't yet have DA/UAG set up, I'm using the latter

EMC VNXe oddity...

The interface is looking OK, in spite of using Flash, and it seems to be a pretty solid product. Ran into a couple of interesting quirks however... o- Dedupe is only available for the NAS facility, and we're using it solely as an iSCSI appliance, so don't get the dedupe. o- We can't create a

This is an VMWare ESX limitation not the EMC Vnx. ESX lower than 5 will not support greater than 2tb luns even on Fibre Channel or direct attached disks. You should be able to present a greater than 2tb lun to a windows server without any issues. I have a VNX 5700 that presents a 20tb lun to a

No, it's an EMC VNXe issue. It might even be specific to the VNXe 3100, but it's real. The management interface will not allow me to create a generic (iSCSI) storage LUN greater than 1.999tb. See, for instance, this (which probably requires a login): https://community.emc.com/thread/129762 Kurt
