::server core always start with powershell ::in cmd type:
|
1 |
powershell |
#After entering powershell, type (or if lazy = ‘copy’ + ‘paste’)
|
1 |
Set-ItemProperty -Path ‘HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon’ -Name Shell -Value PowerShell.exe |
Now you will automatically have powershell open as the shell at logon.
For those of you who are looking for System Center Virtual Machine Manager build numbers, there is a great wiki article on technet about this. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/15361.system-center-virtual-machine-manager-list-of-build-numbers.aspx
I don’t know about you, but i find myself sometimes wanting to run linux GUI desktop as a VM in Hyper-V. By default, the screen resolution is horrifying. So, I always change it so i can get at least a 1920×1080 resolution. To do that I enter the VM from the Hyper-V console, open up […]
In my lab I have several types of storage for my guests, like 7K over SMB3, SSD over SMB3 or local storage. I thought it would be nice to see which storage my guests were on right there in the VMM console, so i created custom property and made myself a simple little powershell function […]
I had a strange issue today. In my lab, I have a hyper-v 2012 R2 cluster with VMM 2012 R2 that i use as a dev/test environment. Among other things, i let this rig take in all patches and what not before doing anything with production systems. I recently updated the VMM 2012 R2 server […]

It’s not about what degree you have. It’s not about where, or if, you went to college. It’s not about how many years of formal schooling you have. It’s not about what certifications you have. All that matters is this: What knowledge you have acquired and continue to acquire for as long as you live. […]
Recently i needed a quick way to automate patching and rebooting of servers in our data-center. We felt that just using standard WSUS with GPOs was to fuzzy and not specific enough regarding reporting after patching had completed. I could have set up our event log collection servers to alert any errors post-reboot, or i […]
I was cleaning up some checkpoints in my home data-center lab today, and started tinkering with a script to automate the task. I put together a couple of short “script-lets” i can put in my task scheduler.

Up until a few years ago, the cloud was, to quote Wikipedia, “a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body.” But lately, like so many other words or phrases, the cloud has a completely different meaning to […]
