So, it appears that my mysterious inability to send email from my desktop computer using OWA via Chrome was solved by disabling the Skype extension. Magically OWA send works instantly. I also tried turning off my only other extension, Google Voice, but that wasn't the culprit. Anyway, hope this helps someone else as it was a monster pain for me to have to use Internet Exploder just for OWA as it's such a monstrously bloated piece of code. Thus why I don't have lots of extensions. ;-)

I have a couple of cluster nodes that I failed to size the C: drive adequately and began to run out of disk space. No problem! They’re all virtual machines, so I just need to expand the disks and away I go!

That said, I’ve seen several cases where the virtual disks grow correctly and show up in the OS correctly, but when you try and use the Windows 2008 disk extend feature then you get this error from Logical Disk Manager, “The parameter is incorrect.”
