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.

When created a lab environment to test ADFS 2.0 I utilized the Windows 2008R2 VM baselines distributed by Microsoft.  After a few days I was told that I had to activate.  The VMs included a 180 day license for use but I didn't feel like adding another network adapter into Hyper-V to connect them to the internet.  I started having issues though where the servers would shut down every hour or so.  I though that maybe there was a memory issue and Hyper-V was shutting them down in order to free up RAM.  Turns out that if Server 2008R2 is not activated it automatically shuts down after a period of time.  After connecting the server to the internet and activating them the problem went away. Finally the madness of the unknown shut downs has ended :)

When attempting to connect ADFS 2.0 and SharePoint 2007 most of the documentation assumes you are using the NetworkService account to run the application pools for the SharePoint content web applications.  In a real world environment though a domain user is probably running the app pools.

I was recently looking around for an Anti-Virus solution for Windows Server 2008.  I had tried downloading Microsoft Forefront Client before but when I ran the setup it wanted me to install a ton of server components... so where is the client part of all this?  What I wanted was a simple anti-virus software that uses windows update to get all my new virus definitions. To do this just run the install the client from the cd using the /NOMOM switch.  This install the client but uses Windows Update to get all the virus definitions. Open a Command Prompt using the "Run as administrator" option.  Then run one of the following commands based upon your server OS being 32 or 64 bit. 32-bit [CD]:\CLIENT\CLIENTSETUP.EXE /NOMOM 64-bit [CD]:\CLIENT\X64\CLIENTSETUP.EXE /NOMOM
