Want to SSH onto a system but don’t want to install putty? Well, you can do that right from the windows operating system.
Simply start a command prompt and enter the command below
ssh user@system -p 22
For example, if want to connect to a NetScaler device on IP address 10.1.1.27 using the default admin account then you would enter
ssh nsroot@10.1.1.27 -p 22
In case you missed it, this has been updated so no need to go updating those pesky XML files by hand.
If One Drive will not start when you log in to Windows 10, that’s because they’ve changed the way in which auto-launched applications start on logon. Not only do you have to tock the check box in OneDrive, you also have to enable it at startup which, fortunately, is very easy to do.
Nifty little GUI to help you interpret that capture much faster

While this article is specific to Microsoft Defender, it does give good recommendations as to how to configure any vendors A/V for a VDI environment.
Ever been in that place where you need to know that is the make and model of a server ? For documentation or planning purposes for example ?
You know, the time when you might have to work out what the power draw is of your hardware before moving into a hosted data center or know which spares to hold for physical servers ?
A quick way to get the make and model of the hardware is to run the command below:
wmic computersystem get Name, domain, Manufacturer, Model, NumberofProcessors, PrimaryOwnerName,Username, Roles, totalphysicalmemory /format:list
If you want to check the cluster size of NTFS formatted disks used for Cluster Shared Volumes, here’s some handy code below. Just change the names of the hyper-v clusters you want to check in red and run from an administrative level powershell prompt.
If you want another row of information from the fsutil command, just change the number where it says $arr[9]
Import-Module FailoverClusters
$Clusters = (“My-CLUSTERNAME01“,”My-CLUSTERNAME02“,”My-CLUSTERNAME03“)
#Get CSVs foreach cluster
foreach($Cluster in $Clusters){
$c = Get-ClusterSharedVolume -Cluster $Cluster
$csvs += $c
}
foreach ($csv in $csvs) {
invoke-command -ComputerName $csv.ownernode -scriptblock {
param ($name,$node)
$Clustersize = fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo “C:ClusterStorage$name”
$arr = $Clustersize -split ‘`n’
write-host $name ” on ” $node ” has ” $arr[9]
} -argumentlist $csv.name, $csv.OwnerNode
}
The output reports against the owner node for the CSV. As the underlying disk for the CSV is the same on all nodes, I report against the owner node to limit the output to one row per CSV.
When setting up a split scope DNS solution you may want to delay the offer of IP addresses from the 20% scope so that it acts as a true standby. To do this, just click on the advanced tab on the scope and set the subnt delay value.
If you want to make the move to replacing a command prompt with t he powershell prompt you may at times want to open an explorer session from the powershell command line.
To do this just type ii.
If you want to open explorer at a specific location just enter that location e.g.
ii c:MyFolder
