OK I decided to write this up after unsuccessfully being able to find all the required info I needed in one place. In this setup we will be using Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS as the OS. I have this running on a home lab ESXi server 8, on a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF CPU = Intel Core i7-3770 Installed Memory 16 GB I have some 10K SAS drives installed for the VM's If you have not already, navigate to  Get Ubuntu Server | Download | Ubuntu and download the 22.04.2 LTS ISO Next Lets create our VM that we are going to run this in. *Note Im using ESXi however you can probably do this in Workstation, Fusion, VirtualBox etc The main things to note on the VM creation. Set Ubuntu 64 bit as the guest OS Set your CPU relevant to the physicals CPU, I will be starting with 4 VCPU Set your Memory to as much as you can tolerate, I will be using 12 Disk Space - we are creating a 100G swap file, and the rest of the file can take up some room , so more is better if you can afford it Dont forget to add the U

Powershell - Get folder size

-
So i ran into a situation where i needed to get the size of a set of folders, allot of folders. I created this powershell script to do a couple of things 1. point to the root of where the folders reside 2. list all the folders in that directory 3. recursivly go through each folder and sub-folders to and get the total sum of the size of folders 4. out-put the size and name of folder both on screen and to a text file. Enjoy! $rootPath = "C:\Folders\" $colItems1 = Get-ChildItem $rootPath foreach ($i in $colItems1) { $colItems = (Get-ChildItem -recurse "$rootPath\$i" | Measure-Object -property length -sum) "{0:N2}" -f ($colItems.sum / 1MB) + " MB,$i" "{0:N2}" -f ($colItems.sum / 1MB) + " MB,$i" >>C:\result.txt }

HP not supporting all servers.........

-
Well this is rather unfortunate since the servers we bought a year ago are all G6's but i guess that is how IT goes. HP will only officially support G7 and G8 server series. http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/windows/index.html
