Very good info here +1 Software defined storage solutions are becoming very common nowadays, almost ready for some small tenant production shops. Still some kinks indeed, most of the items in my environment are very large 20+ EMC flash and/or tiered arrays (SAN) and 100+ NetApps (File Level Storage) for these very reasons! -Jason

I only have some 35k+ physical cores to license. Microsoft VL with Enterprise Agreements certainly well help. O_o

Logical being after core scheduling aka Hyper Threading vs per Physical CPU core on the die. -Jason

Use AD if you would like =)

...wondering if it is because you're not in an AD environment? Do you happen to have the guest account enabled? Did you mess with any of the local security policies? -Jason

+1 for NACLs > ACLs

Once the Storage Space Virtual Disk has been provisioned (thick/thin) the footprint of the pool will not automatically shrink the footprint on the pool. This can be accomplished manually(PowerShell use Resize-VirtualDisk Cmdlet), however if your pool has many virtual disks, and you continually grow and shrink virtual disk, fragmentation within the pool will occur. If it is only 1 pool, with a low number of virtual disks, I would just stay thinly provisioned, less wasted space on the pool, leaving you with options like iSCSI, or separate redundancy types, like a 2 way mirror VD, and a 4 disk simple space for speed =) As long as the disk operations on each VD aren't parallel, you're in good shape to get both performance, as well as redundancy on the same pool. Pretty cool! -Jason

From the context of the conversation, it sounded like he was referring to picking an ID within the given ranges of the desired ACL. Meaning if he wanted to create a standard ACL, he has the choices of 1-99 or 1300-1999, he wanted to know if there was any rhyme or reason to selecting a number within that standard range(s). -Jason

No, numbering doesn't really matter. They're simply unique identifiers. Named ACLs are more descriptive =) -Jason

Be sure that your shares don't have the everyone Object as part of the permissions scope. If you can take a screen shot of the permissions screen (please redact personal named user info) we can continue to provide assistance. -Jason

probably how the software has to re-render the multiple layers of objects =)

Sounds good!

what is the URL? Does the server have IIS Manager installed where you can see what sites are published and the status of the application pool? -Jason

So, are you experiencing this error server side or client side?

UNC is used for networked directories, \\remotecomputer\someshare\ Absolute is use for file systems. (RemoteComputer) c:\share\someshare Hope that helps. -Jason
