I’ve read the requirements which call for 16GB RAM and 8 cores.How will this run on a 12GB Windows 10/11 machine with 6 cores (Intel i5-10400 CPU @ 2.90GHz)? There’s little else running on the machine.

Do you have any questions about achieving or upgrading any VMCE certifications? Ask and you’ll get an answer

Account lockout help keep user accounts secure by preventing unauthorised users etc., from guessing the username and password. When your account is locked, you will have to wait for a specified amount of time before being able to log into your account again. Here is the link to the original blogpost. In the past, it was recommended to disable the local Administrator account due to several known vulnerabilities such as the built-in administrator account cannot be locked out no matter how many failed logins it accrues, making it a prime target for brute-force attacks that attempt to guess passwords. This is no longer true as beginning October 11, 2022, or later Windows cumulative updates, a local policy will be available to enable local administrator account lockouts.  Brute force attacks are one of the prevalent ways Windows devices are attacked today. Previously, Windows devices did not allow local administrators to be locked out. This leads to scenarios where, without the proper netwo

Hi friends, Can you help me please ? I have new installed Veeam Server and i imported the backup from storage. Now i need to make a full restore from imported backup ? Thank you,

I’ve had a problem with a Windows 10 workstation waking up from S3 sleep every few minutes all night long.I tracked the problem to Veeam-created waketimers, created repeatedly by the Veeam.Archiver.Service and the Veeam.Archiver.Proxy.Service.  Stopping those services stops the waketimers, and the system returns to normal sane behaviour.  These services run under Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and Veeam Backup Proxy for Microsoft 365. Even when I have scheduled backups turned off at the server console, this keeps happening.  Note, I do WANT the system to wake for backups -- once a night, every night. But that's all.So it appears those services are creating those timers, but I see no Veeam-supported way to stop it or make them behave sanely.  Stopping backups at the console does not seem to affect these timers.Now, I did install Veeam Agent for Windows 6.0.2.1090 -- Workstation Edition as well as backup for Microsoft 365 on that workstation, using a local swapped hard drive, before inst

Happy Friday everyone! For those of you with access to a lab/test environment, what do you use when you’re “on the move”. Maybe it’s public cloud, maybe a VPN back to a DC/Home, maybe it’s a portable enough workload you can run it from your laptop. Curious to hear how people tackle this when mobile 🙂

This looks pretty cool, anyone attending it: https://www.veeam.com/dreamforce-2022.html?utm_campaign=Country:+Global,Creative:+Animated+Banner,Format:+3rd+party+event,Program:+Salesforce,Title:+Dreamforce&utm_source=GlobalNewsletter&utm_medium=socialteam&utm_content=1661998872  ?  

My journey with Veeam began in 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic, a time filled with uncertainty, challenges, and a lot of learning. Troubleshooting and analysis weren’t easy at first, but something quickly stood out to me: the Veeam Community.A space where experienced professionals shared knowledge generously and newcomers like me could grow by learning from real-world experiences. I started quietly, absorbing everything I could, and eventually felt the desire to give back. Helping others who faced the same difficulties I once did became a natural part of my routine.One moment that really moved my story forward was when Christian invited me to write posts for his blog. That opportunity boosted my confidence, helped me grow faster, and brought me closer to community members I deeply admired, including the Veeam 100, which slowly became a personal dream.Coming from the outskirts of Belo Horizonte, I’ve always valued every step of my journey. Some people doubted me along the way,

 “This is a beta preview of this upcoming Veeam release, this user interface is not finalized and TBDs, icons, etc. will be to the Veeam standard upon GA.”Back on track after 3 weeks of vacations, playing with a new beta is a good way to get back into the swing of things 😄.1. InstallationI bypass the installation step of the Veeam version 12.3, it’s the same step than currently.  2.  Tenant ConfigurationIn the inventory tab you will notice a new entry “ Azure Entra ID”  First step you have to specify your Tenant ID, is not the Tenant Name .onmicrosoft.com, to help you to find it : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/fundamentals/how-to-find-tenantOtherwise you will get the following error message during the configuration: You could add an description, currently the region can’t be changed and you could modify the cache repository used only for the audit log backup necessary to keep temporary metadata to track of all objects that have changed between each session.The next step is f
