Zerto Hyper-V to VMware

Zerto Hyper-V to VMware KB ID 0001805 Problem I’ve known this was possible for a while, I tried to set it up a while ago, but had a nightmare installing SCVMM so I threw my toys out of the pram and did something else. After a chat with a colleague the other week we have client who needs to do this (we are migrating them from Hyper-V into VMware).

Microsoft Edge (macOS) Migrate Bookmarks from Safari

KB ID 0001641 Problem So now theres a version of Microsoft Edge for macOS! Normally I would not bother, but I spend a lot of time in SharePoint and Azure so I thought, rather than my usual approach of playing ‘Browser Roulette’ I’d try Microsoft Edge and see what it was like. My usual browser of choice is Safari, but the install wizard defaults to wanting to import bookmarks / favourites* from Chrome. (I do also have...
