Amazon AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) Install

Using CLI can make doing task in AWS much easier.  In order to get the CLI tool this is the setup i usually perform.  Instead of going the Python/PIP route as show here there is also an MSI installer you can use.  (MSI Download Link for 32/64 Bit)

1. Install Python.  Use Python 2.7.9+ or Python 3.4+ which will insure you get the PIP installer included.  If you are using a previous version of Python you will need to go through a separate setup procedure for PIP.

https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

2. Open a command prompt As Administrator and run the following.

C:\Windows\System32> pip install awscli

3. Test to make sure that the install was successful.

C:\Windows\System32> aws --version
aws-cli/1.11.84 Python/3.6.2 Windows/7 botocore/1.5.47
4. After you confirm it was installed you can go ahead and configure the properties for your connection. If you don't have your access/secret keys you can add a new one to your user account in the AWS online console.  IAM -> Users -> Your User -> Security Credentials Tab -> Access Keys.  If you create a new key make sure to keep the keys in a safe place and don't loose them.

C:\Windows\System32> aws configure
AWS Access Key ID: yourkey
AWS Secret Access Key: youraccesskey
Default region name [us-east-1]: yourregion
Default output format [None]: json

Usually before running the CLI updating it is a good idea.

C:\Windows\System32> pip install --user --upgrade awscli

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
