Battery drain issue after 5.0.1 Lollipop update on LG G Watch running Android Wear.

I applied the 5.0.1 Android Wear update yesterday and charged  the G wach overnight...

From 7 AM to 2:30 PM I am now currently on 18% battery.. I haven't used the watch more that normal and Wear Battery Status isn't showing excessive usage..

I'll keep an eye out on this issue.

Next day update;
I've now removed instaweather and dislock

Fully charge and ready to go Wearbattery is now telling me that my watch is should last until tomorrow 4PM. This is much better than yesterday's performance.

6/01/2015 - update -
I've been using the LG G watch since the update and battery usage has gone back to normal. I also have a second LG G Smart watch which didn't suffer from the same issue post upgrade.

Get-CMDevice slow to retrieve many objects

I've found that if you use Get-CMDevice to get many objects it can take up to 20 minutes to return a result. It may look like it's not working but it is collecting data from SCCM, Just not fast like when you use the WMI query.

Get-CMDevice -CollectionName 'My Test Collection'

How to disable the rear parking sensor on a Holden Captiva

There is a small magnetic read switch in the electrical connector for the trailer connector. There is also a small magnet in the dust cover for the connector, if the dust cover flap is down the rear parking sensor (Parking Assist) will be disabled as the car assumes you have a trailer hooked up.

So either pull the dust cover down, hook up a trailer or remove the magnet.

I only found this out when the parking assist stopped working and I had to troubleshoot the issue by finding that my magnet had fallen out when I was removing the trailer coupling

Package not updating on DP Configmgr 2012

If your source files contain files with "(" and ")" configmgr 2012 may have problems deleting them
from the DP when you update distribution points.

Open Distmgr.log on the server and find the location it can't update and goto to the content location and manually delete the files and let configmgr try again it should work this time. You may also fins that a service account might be holding the files open, kill any open file sessions to those files and try again.

Or

Look at your source files and rename anything with "(" and ")" in the name.

George Brandis contradicts Malcolm Turnbull over piracy crackdown payments

Using the same logic RMS (formerly RTA) should have to pay for crime and drug enforcement because crime and drug users use our roads, RMS must be unwitting facilitators too. Farmers should pay for diabetes management  because the food they produce is consumed by consumers who go on to get diabetes.



Perhaps I should call my local Internet 'Facilitator' and ask for a comment?



George Brandis contradicts Malcolm Turnbull over piracy crackdown payments: "''Obviously ISPs don't want to pay to make a contribution,'' Senator Brandis told The Australian. ''Their argument is that, 'Well, we're the innocent bystander'.

''Well, they're not an innocent bystander because they are an unwitting facilitator. We expect the ISPs to make a contribution to the cost of administrating the scheme. No side in this debate can pretend that it is uninvolved.''"

Issues installing SQL 2008 R2 SP update

We recently had issues installing an SP update on an SQL server. Someone along the way had configured a registry key that was blocking the upgrade.

I could fix it myself, under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup I changed the value for the "wYukonInstalled" key from 1 to 0 and the updater didn't look for the Windows Internal Database anymore.

Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document sharepoint 2013 SP1

I came across this issue trying to configure OWA in our test setup.. One thing the OWA needs to know is how to get back to the Web Front End you have it pointed at.  So make sure your OWA server knows how to reach the WFE (Think host file or DNS CNames)

Deployment Rule Sets in upcoming Java Updates

The Deployment Rule Set feature enables an enterprise to establish a whitelist of known applications. Applications on the whitelist can be run without most security prompts, however, the following prompts are not suppressed:

• Authentication dialogs that require the user to provide credentials to connect
• Security warnings from unsigned Java Web Start applications that want to perform such actions as creating a shortcut or an association

As of January 21, 2014, LogMeIn Free is no longer available. To continue using remote access, you will need to purchase an account subscription of LogMeIn Pro.

This means for me no more remote access to my PC's

LogMeIn will not be offering any free versions anymore.  I will probably move to TeamViewer or even VNC or simply use RDP.
