Hibernation Mode With Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V

On occasion I need to run Hyper-V for testing on my laptop.  Most of the time though I would love to have the power management function such as hibernation which is disabled by Hyper-V.  In order to get around this I have updated the following registry key which disables Hyper-V on startup.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\hvboot]"Start"=dword:00000003


Now when I want to run Hyper-V I just click on a .bat file on my desktop which contains the following commands. 


net start hvboot 
net start vmms
net start nvspwmi
net start vhdsvc
PAUSE

Now that you have enabled Hyper-V the power management features will no longer be available until you reboot the system.  This isn't exactly a fix but it's a great workaround.

Add User As Local Administrator On Domain Controller

I recently was settting up a new Microsoft SharePoint 2010 machine and had promoted the machine to a domain controller before creating my SharePoint admin accounts.  I needed to add several of my accounts to the local Administrators group.  Unfortunately after you promote a server to a domain controller you can no longer access the GUI for Local Users and Groups.  Instead I had to use the command line to add the users. Open a command promt using the "Run as administrator" function and then run the following command. net localgroup Administrators /add {domain}\{user} Note: do not include the {} brackets.

Horizontally Scroll A Large Power Apps Gallery

Image
So you have a lot of data to display but the screen in Power Apps isn’t large enough. My friend Ronald Sease recently showed me how to create a gallery in Power Apps that you can scroll horizontally. It’s a simple but powerful solution utilizing a horizontal container and a vertical gallery. Demo Instructions First add a Horizontal container to your screen. Set the LayoutOverflowX property on the Horizontal container. LayoutOverflowX = LayoutOverflow.Scroll Add a Vertical gallery within the horizonal container you created. Set the following properties on the Vertical gallery. ShowNavigation = true (this isn’t required but the navigation buttons make it much easier to move up and down the list when the up/down scrollbar is off the screen.) Height = Parent.Height (if you are using the Show Navigation option then set this to Parent.Heigh - 20 so that the navigation buttons are not covered up by the scroll bar.) LayoutMinWidth = 1000 (This value needs to be larger th
