The built-in logging on my router/modem doesn't store anything like enough data, so your script is spot on. Thank you for taking the time to write this up.

I have installed ESXi4.1 onto a USB stick, the server has raid 5 which consists of 4 x 2TB drives. Now when I open vSphere client it does not even see the storage only on the devices tab located in the storage area it shows, but even then the storage shows up as 0B. Is there a way I can create a number of luns on this raid config? Would really appreciate any help, thanks, Good tutorial, I have a similar problem.

By the way, got some idea here. Is there a way that this script can monitor multiple server ip's and calculate how much time its connection was down? Great work! By the way, got some idea here.

I just started working with Windows 2008 R2 servers and was getting so frustrated with 'access denied' issues. A quick search using 'windows 2008 adminstrators permissions' lead me to your very helpful article. Thank you for this great article.

Don't get me wrong. I have used (and is still using) Windows 7, but the customizability and user-friendliness of Windows 7 is inferior to that of Windows XP. And don't get me started on Vista. I also don't like that in order to run a program smoothly, or even get it to work, you need to run it as an Administrator, and only as an ADMINISTRATOR. You can't run those programs under a username with Admin privileges. You can't. It really needs the Administrator account. And this is one of the many reasons on why I prefer XP over Windows 7.

I have exactly the same configuration. I just replaced the 4 x 500gb drives in my PE 2950 with 1TB and your tutorial is a mirror image of what I'm doing. I also knew there was a 2tb limit on LUN size but couldn't figure out why it wouldn't let me create a 2TB datastore. Thank you so much for saving me a lot of time reading! Awesome!
