Changing the NTFS Allocation for win2012R2 VM with or without reformatting

Hi community 
Benjamin Niaulin has written an excellent article on maximising the performance of SharePoint 2013 on a VM. Now one of the major improvements
it increase the NTFS Allocation size as this will make SQLServer have few reads .. Ok but since my vm is set at the default 4K, how can I quickly accomplish this without reformatting or do I have to perform a windows backup, reformat or recreate the VM with
the new allocation size.

Hi Daniel,
"By default, the maximum cluster size for NTFS under Windows NT 4.0 and later versions of Windows is 4 kilobytes (KB). This is because NTFS file compression is not possible on drives that have a larger cluster size. The format command won't use clusters
larger than 4 KB unless the user specifically overrides the default settings. You can do this by using the /A: switch together with the Format command or by specifying a larger cluster size in the Format dialog box in Windows Explorer. "
So , you need to reformat the volume .

  • How to change the table's for an existing report

    Hello,
    How can I change the table names for reports created with a different table name? for e.g If I created a report which included a table called "2009_10_example", How can I change that table to a different table "2010_10_example1".
    I am using Crystal reports 2008, and the reports were created using Report Creating Wizard.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek

    In the Database Menu, there is an option Set Datasource Location.  This allows you to pick a table from the current tables used, and select a table to replace it with.  Press the Update button, and Crystal will swap one for the other.  If the field names and data types are all the same, it will automatically change all references throughout the report to the new table's fields.
    May I suggest that your tables are set up improperly if you have to change report code to run it for different months?  The data should all be in one table with dates, and parameters to select the date range to report on.  (That was said in the spirit of helping...)

  • I-tunes not kompatibel with Windows 8. Every time I want to load my Ipod or Iphone I have to change the compability to, for instance windows vista. Otherwise Itunes refuse to recognize my Ipad/phone. Can I expect that Itunes will "fix" this problem? Carin

    I have problems with I-tunes and the compability with windows 8. Every time I whant to load my Ipod/Iphone Itunes doesn´t recognize the pod/phone. If I change the compability to for instance windows vista it works ok.
    I guess that I need some update of Itunes?

  • How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

    How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
    Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
    As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
    With regard to font size,
    1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
    2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
    3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
    4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
    5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
    Can any of you Help?!?

    Maybe this extension helps:

    how do i change the email address for my icloud account on my 4s. when i sign in on line it is my new email address so i thought it would change automatically but obviously not!

    Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup iCloud with your new ID.
    You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it.

  • How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

    How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only.  I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6.  Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them.  I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

    To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account.  If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account.  Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
    Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

  • How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

    Hello,
    At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
    Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
    Thanks,
    - Josh
    <Email Edited By Host>

    I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
    Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.
    (The image was removed in your post above because it showed your iCloud email address.)

  • How do I change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook?

    Hi I would like to know how to change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook. Everytime I try to open a doc. it automatically opens with Textedit, instead of Pages or another program.

    Select any particular document you wish to fix. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired Default Application from the dropdown menu. Click on the Change All button to extend the change to all similar documents.
    You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

  • How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4?

    How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone. 

    Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
    Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.

  • Is there a way to change the default icon for a sound file in KN2

    i have need to include dozens of sound files on each slide that will trigger as text builds. i can handle all the transitions fine but i cannot figure out how to change the standard icon for the sound file.
    i would prefer to have the text be the icon, if that is not possible to have a smaller icon for the file. as i build the page i am ending up with a huge mess, icons covering text, also there is not a intuitive way to tell which sound file is which with out click/playing each file.

  • How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view

    How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view - OSX Maverick

    the current day was light blue in ical in 10.6 but with plenty of contrast, but I recently made the bigger leap all the way to calendar in 10.9. the choice of color is terrible for reasons such as Spile1962 puts below, but also not having any way to tweak it is terrible. I'm on a bran d new imac and can barely see a difference and frankly, while I appreciate the subtlety, I still forget to look for the darker bar across the top of the current week and day. we should be able to adjust weekend and current day bg colors.
    I went into the app's package contents in hopes that they were using a tiff/png file that I could tweak on my own but couldn't find anything for them. all the icons are there, as are the bg sets for all the little pop-ups and things, but I couldn't even find a reference to a hex color in the plist file.
    send apple feedback. I just did myself, except that Calendar hasn't made the list (yet?), only iCal up to version 4.x, and Messages is still only iChat for feedback, and some others are old as well. apparently after steve died, apple's attention to these details just died with him. it's been that long since those other apps should have been relevant on their site.

  • How can I change the default page for a book?

    I have a book that contains six pages. One of the pages contains the login portlet while the others contain account specific information that a user can only see if they are logged in. Currently, I have the default page set to the login page.
    I am attempting to write a backing file for the book that will esentially change the default page for the book to be one of the other pages if the user is already logged in. In effect showing a logged in user their account summary page instead of the login portlet.
    I can't seem to find a way to change what page the user is shown with the book and page context classes. I can hide the login page, but this leaves the user looking at a blank page. Unfortunately I can't use entitlements, otherwise this would be easy.
    Does anyone know how to "forward" to another page from a backing file?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Got it!
    In your backing file you'll need the following in your handlePostbackData method:
    BookBackingContext bookCtx = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(arg0);
    bookCtx.setupPageChangeEvent("PageLabel");

  • How to change the explain plan for currently running query?

    Hi All,
    I am using Oracle enterprise 9i edition. I have a query which frames dynamically and running in the database. I noticed a table with 31147758 rows
    in the query which has no indexes and taking more time to process. I tried to create an INdex on that table. I know the query is already running with a FULL table scan. Is it possible to change the explain plan for the current running query to consider the INDEX?
    [code]
    SELECT /*+ USE_HASH (c,e,b,a) */
    d.att_fcc extrt_prod_dim_id,
    d.att_fcc compr_prod_dim_id,
      a.glbl_uniq_id glbl_uniq_id,
      to_date(c.dit_code,'RRRRMMDD')STRT_DT,
      (to_date(c.dit_code,'RRRRMMDD')+150)END_DT,
      a.pat_nbr pat_id,
      a.rxer_id       rxer_id,
      e.rxer_geog_id  rxer_geog_id,
      a.pharmy_id pharmy_id,
      a.pscr_pack_id pscr_pack_id,
      a.dspnsd_pack_id dspnsd_pack_id,
      DENSE_RANK () OVER (PARTITION BY a.pat_nbr ORDER BY c.dit_code) daterank,
      COUNT( DISTINCT d.att_fcc ) OVER (PARTITION BY a.pat_nbr, c.dit_code) event_cnt
      DENSE_RANK () OVER (PARTITION BY a.pat_nbr,
    d.att_fcc
      ORDER BY c.dit_code) prodrank,
      DENSE_RANK () OVER (PARTITION BY a.pat_nbr,
    d.att_fcc
      ORDER BY c.dit_code DESC) stoprank
      FROM
      pd_dimitems c,
       pd_pack_attribs   d ,
        lrx_tmp_rxer_geog e,
        lrx_tmp_pat_daterank p,
        lrx_tmp_valid_fact_link     a
        WHERE c.dit_id = a.tm_id
        AND   e.rxer_id = a.rxer_id
        AND   a.glbl_uniq_id = p.glbl_uniq_id
        AND   p.daterank > 1
      AND   a.pscr_pack_id = d.att_dit_id
    [/code]
    The table lrx_tmp_pat_daterank is having that 31147758 rows. So I am wondering how to make the query to use the newly created index on the table?

    Why do you think using Indexes will improve the performance of the query? How many rows this query is returning? Optimizer might chose a Full table scan when it finds out that Index plan might not be useful. Why are you using /*+ USE_HASH (c,e,b,a) */ hint? This Hint will force oracle to use Full table scan instead of using the index. Try removing it and see if the plan changes.
