Windows Storage Spaces - Remove physical disk from storage pool with PowerShell

I have an Intel NUC with 8 GB as media center and Hyper-V host for a test domain controller. I attached 2 physical external disks (1x 2,5" USB 3, 1x 3,5" USB 2) and created a storage pool. A couple of weeks later, I bought a new 2,5" USB 3 disk with 1 TB to replace the older USB 2.0 disk. That disk is a lot quieter than the older one.

I presume that SSO is already installed. Make sure you login as a Domain Admin on your domain controller. (Very important) Cancel the wizard and start the XenApp 6.5 CD on your domain controller. Browse to Manually install components -> Server Components -> Additional Features -> Single Sign-On -> Central Store -> Active Directory -> Step 1: Extend Active Directory.

Opening the AMD Catalyst Control Center gives the error “AMD drivers are not functioning properly”. Solution: go to the Dell website. Click the Support page and type your Service Tag. Download the newest AMD and Intel graphics drivers.

Exchange 2013 - Service FMS failed to reach status 'Running' on this server.

When I was installing Exchange 2013 in my home lab, I received an error message on 98 %. You will see the screen below for 15-20 minutes. After a moment your installation ends up in an error: Error: The following error was generated when “$error.Clear(); if ($RoleStartTransportService) { start-SetupService -ServiceName FMS } ” was run: “Service ‘FMS’ failed to reach status ‘Running’ on this server.”. When I was searching on Google I found some topics who say that FMS stands for Filtering Management Service.
