I've just done a fresh install of KVM/Qemu under Ubuntu 14.04.2 on an older (C2D gen) server with dual quad core xeons and 24 gb of ram. I'm finding that I'm waiting for operations in virsh for around 10-20 seconds. I can understand that some commands take time to complete, but feel that virsh dumpxml test.domain (glorified cat test.domain.xml) and virsh list shouldn't be taking this long to complete. Is this a well known bug? How can I fix it?

I've got file auditing enabled and I'd like to be able to filter for a given user action. I have set up an XML filter that's pretty basic, but I can't seem to get it to work. I've got it working with a couple of eventdata categories other than AccessList such as HandleId and SubjectUserName.

<QueryList> 
 <Query Id="0" Path="Security"> 
  <Select Path="Security"> 
   *[EventData[Data[@Name='AccessList'] and (Data='%%1537')]] 
  </Select> 
 </Query> 
</QueryList>

I'm trying to find the following:

<Event>
 <EventData>
  <Data Name="AccessList">%%1537</Data>
 </EventData>
</Event>

Can anyone offer some guidance?

I have a user who will be retiring in a few days. He's been tasked with dumping out all mail that is related to the organization's customers and classifying it under our organizational structure before he goes. I'd like to make his life a little easier by dumping all of his mail from his pst to a folder that retains his inbox folder structure. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

We have a program here that requires every user to have a shortcut on their desktop that points to an ini file. Each file is unique to the user. Recently, we've done a new install of the application on a separate server. I'd like to be able to run a script on the client computers that will look at the current shortcut, alter the server name, then save it to the same location.

I reckon powershell will be necessary for this. Something to the effect of:

$oldargs = # Pull out the args from the current shortcut using voodoo magic
$args = $oldargs -replace "server1", "server2"
$WshShell = New-Object -comObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut("$env:PUBLIC\Desktop\app.lnk")
$Shortcut.TargetPath = "%ProgramFiles%\appdir\app.exe"
$Shortcut.Arguments = "$args"
$Shortcut.WorkingDirectory = "%ProgramFiles%\appdir"
$Shortcut.IconLocation = "%ProgramFiles%\appdir\pic.ico"
$Shortcut.Save()

Really, I'm just lost on how I pull out the arguments from the current shortcut arguments.

When I connect to an external data source on my MS-SQL server using Excel, is it solely an import, or can I edit the data residing on the MS-SQL server right from Excel?

I have a user (the DBA, funny enough) that swears up and down that it's doable, but whenever he connects, the DB is not writable from excel. Tried with my account as well, but was unsuccessful. His account and mine both have rights to read and write to the database in question. Is there some service I need to enable?

From the information I can find with Microsoft, he excel/sql connection functions only as an import.
