Winnipeg Assiniboine park and photography fee–$150+GST

Here’s the two pieces of information that was sent out. This first was an “Initial WOOPS”… They ended up retracting the letter by saying it was a draft.

First Letter

“As a photographer, you may have clients that would like to have their wedding photos taken in Assiniboine Park. We define a photo shoot as an event that you receive compensation from the client for taking the photos. The cost of a photo shoot is $150 plus …GST. This cost ensures that you have a reserved space available for your photo shoot, the horticultural material and grounds are in order and staff is available to assist in keeping visitors away from your shoot.
You can book your photo shoots by phoning Assiniboine Park’s Events Office at 204-927-6060. A Park Event Coordinator will assist you.
Assiniboine Park is one of Winnipeg’s public parks and is managed by a not-for-profit organization, the Assiniboine Park Conservancy. In order to achieve our mandate we generate revenue by charging fees for weddings, professional photography, tours, receptions and film shoots. These funds enable us to hire staff, provide programming, and maintain our plant and art collections.
By working together we can continue to provide Winnipeg with a unique spot for special occasions.

Yours truly,
Lorne Perrin
Lorne W. Perrin
Vice President, Marketing & Park Services”

Second letter

As a photographer, you may have clients that would like to have their wedding photos taken in Assiniboine Park. While you are welcome to take advantage of all the park has to offer, there are only three locations for which a fee must be paid to the Assiniboine Park Conservancy.

These locations are; The Leo Mol Gardens, the Conservatory building, and the Formal Gardens in the South East Corner of the park. Professional photography is not permitted in the English Gardens. The fees paid for these locations are used to fund the beautiful work done by our horticulture department in these areas. The cost of a photo shoot is $150 plus GST. This cost ensures that you have a reserved space available for your photo shoot, the horticultural material and grounds are in order and staff is available to assist in keeping visitors away from your shoot if necessary.

You can book your photo shoots by phoning Assiniboine Park’s Events Office at 204-927-6060. A Park Event Coordinator will assist you. Assiniboine Park is one of Winnipeg’s public parks and is managed by a not-for-profit organization, the Assiniboine Park Conservancy. In order to achieve our mandate we generate revenue by charging fees for weddings, professional photography, tours, receptions and film shoots. These funds enable us to hire staff, provide programming, and maintain our plant and art collections.

By working together we can continue to provide Winnipeg with a unique spot for special occasions.

What are your views?

I personally think this is a slap to the face to Winnipeg. Who’s mandate was this?

How to install Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)

This post will go over how to easily install Virtual Machine Manager. There are may things that can get quite frustrating when you try to install VMM. This post will be using a machine that is a Windows 2008R2 machine and we will be installing VMM 2008R2. I do recommend that you do learn why you may or may not choose certain options like SQL vs SQL Express.

I have partitioned the Machine’s drive into a smaller system drive and  much larger data drive that will house the VMM library data. I also make sure that the server has at least 2GB of ram. If you don’t the install will squawk at you but allow you to still install things. I also wanted to tell you I am installing this on a DC. Microsoft doesn’t like you installing this on a DC especially if you are wanting a self service portal. You’ve been warned.

You are going to need to download and install a few pieces of software (don’t run them just yet):

  1. Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer (this is needed by the SCVMM Configuration Analyzer)
  2. System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008, 2008 R2, and 2008 R2 SP1 Configuration Analyzer

Install IIS on the server

Open Server Manager and right click Roles. Click “Add Roles”.

image

Make sure IIS is checked off. Click Next.

image

Ensure that these additional IIS items are all checked off and hit Next and Install:

  • Static Content
  • Default Document
  • Directory Browsing
  • HTTP Errors
  • ASP.NET
  • .NET Extensibility
  • ISAPI Extensions
  • ISAPI Filters
  • Request Filtering
  • IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility
  • IIS 6 WMI Compatibility

You should restart your machine since you just installed a feature. Once you have done this your machine should validate and everything should go very smoothly. To validate your machine run the VMM configuration Analyzer. This should now be in your start menu since you installed it in the previous steps.

image

If you followed my instructions you should see something like this:

image

Run setup on the VMM Disk

image

The install is easy. When it asks where to install the files I switched it from C: to E:

image

When it asks about SQL server I am just going to us SQL Express.

image

Specify a Share. Again I am moving things to E:

image

The rest of the install I just selected the defaults. Once it is finished updating I recommend that you run the machine through Windows Update and make sure everything is all patched and up to date.

You will most likely want to install the VMM Administrator Console. You can do this by running it off the setup program of VMM.

image

The install of the VMM Administrator Console is very simple. It’s your typical Next, Next, Next install. It will ask where you want to install it and what ports you want it to run on. I told it to install to the E: and I kept the ports the set to the default numbers.

Hope this helped you get VMM up and running a bit faster.

This Active Directory Domain Controller is NOT the last AD DC in the domain

Did you get the following error: “The operation failed because: This Active Directory Controller is not the last AD DC in the domain. The server is unwilling to process the request.” when you typed in dcpromo?

The operation failed because: This Active Directory Controller is not the last AD DC in the domain. The server is unwilling to process the request

If you really want to remove the domain controller from the domain you will need to issue the command:

dcpromo /forceremoval

Hope this helps you get rid of the error: “The operation failed because: This Active Directory Controller is not the last AD DC in the domain. The server is unwilling to process the request.”

PS – Remember to uninstall the AD Binaries by using Server Manager.
