Hey Wol, Yes I followed it and it was immensely helpful. I guess I didn't want to make my post too long so that is why I only included the shortened command outputs; in the future I'll just include everything. I believe that the big issue was that the --force command did not work when it seemed like it should have. I will keep on the lookout for that bug again in the future. Just a note on the wiki: "When Things Go Wrogn" should be "When Things Go Wrong" Best, Roger On Tue, Feb 21, 2017 at 1:33 PM, Wols Lists <antlists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 21/02/17 18:38, Roger Roglans wrote: >> Hi Phil, >> >> seems very useful to know in the future.
