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'

WINRM fails with WINRM firewall exception will not work since one of the network connection types on this machine is set to public


If you get this make sure either VMWARE or Hyper-V doesn't have any NAT'd network connections. If so remove them and try again.
