Recently I had a SBS2008 box that wouldn’t take the Primary DC role after a backup restore.
This article helped me out:

Following this, I also had to fix the c:\windows\sysvol folder from trying to replicate.
I love it when the big companies share some insight into how they solve a problem.

Personal TL;DR notes on getting this to work, not a tutorial.
Download Install Anaconda
– At the time of writing it didn’t create Windows Shortcuts, fix this with openning cmd as admin
‘c:\Anaconda2\scripts\conda.exe install menuinst’
Agree to Updates
‘c:\Anaconda2\scripts\conda.exe install -f console_shortcut ipython ipython-notebook ipython-qtconsole launcher spyder’
Agree to updates.
Now there should be shortcuts in:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Anaconda2 (64-bit)
Now onto Xero
The last two commands fix the error: ImportError: No module named jwt.algorithms
Again these are personal notes, not a full blown tutorial.
Just ran into a strange issue when configuring a SNMP community on the web interface. Alas it was broken.
And clicking on “add’ results in an error
‘Access Error: Request Entity Too Large’
An easy fix is to stop being lazy and CLI into the switch and fix it.
The command:
snmp-server community public su 192.168.0.5
And look, it works for us. Now you can webconfig until your heart is content.
Don’t forget to write your switch config changes.

Service discovery failed for this host: Agent exited with code 255: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal. Host key verification failed.
Current Setup: Ubuntu 14.04 running OMD
Solution: Running the ssh command from the OMD user appears to fix the problem by allowing them into the known hosts list.
Here’s how:
linuxuser@ubuntu_vm:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for linuxuser:
root@ubuntu_vm:/home/scadmin# su [omd-site-name]
ubuntu_vm[[omd-site-name]]:~$
then run your remote command eg:
ubuntu_vm[[omd-site-name]]:~$ ssh -l root -i /etc/check_mk/check_mk.key [ip]
It will ask to save the host to the known hosts, type yes and enter. It should then output the status from the check_mk agent.
Here is a tough one, cloning or restoring a backup to a new drive for a Toshiba M400 returns a BSOD with Stop 0x7B error.
Here is how to fix it.
A big thanks to the guys here: http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Troubleshooting/M400-Restore-Issue/td-p/25211 for their help and input.
In a WPMU install there is no check box for “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders”
Instead you need to do the following:
network dashboard > my sites > sites
then edit each site, select site settings
then scroll down to “Uploads Use Yearmonth Folders”.
1= yes year/month,
0 = no year month, instead upload to /siteid/files/

For those interested in a quick birds eye view of the state of the wireless speaker market I’ve created this quick (and I meant super quick) Google Sheet for a client.
It includes:
Sonos
Play 1
Play 3
Play 5
BOSE
SoundTouch
Pure
Jongo T2
Jongo T4
Samsung
Wireless Audio Hub
M3 Wireless
M5 Wireless
M7
Presonus
Eris E5
Is is in no way a review of any kind (other than cost at this moment in time). I have not personally had any time to play with these speakers in any sort of detail. (I do however have a pair of Presonus studio monitors). If it’s useful, that’s great. If not, I wish you well on your journey.
css-sprite was giving me some issues so I went looking for a different way to tackle the problem.
While a pain in the rear end to install, I found Glue. Given I already had all the python stuff installed it was pretty easy for me to get it working for this project.
(The above command, looks for all the images in the src folder, and then outputs into the glue folder).
While the scss support is woeful, the retina side of things seems to be working better. (Although I’m not using the retina switch in the command above).
Nagvis has some issues installing with:
apt-get install nagvis
Here are the extra steps to get it running.
1). Fix the permissions outlined in the file /usr/share/doc/nagios3/README.Debian ( cat /usr/share/doc/nagios3/README.Debian will print out the contents in to the terminal).
2). Edit the backend config, in the web GUI go to Options -> Manage Backends. Then under “Edit backend” select live_1 and change the socket to: unix:/var/lib/nagios3/rw/livestatus
set a timeout to 30 (not sure if this is correct, sounded fun at the time).
3). Edit WuiViewEditMainCfg.php with the changes found here: http://sourceforge.net/p/nagvis/nagvis/ci/c7eb03fe37130546adfe298408606213f2d2fd9a/
nano /usr/share/nagvis/share/server/core/classes/WuiViewEditMainCfg.php
(instead of removing lines, I just added // as a comment).
