		<description><![CDATA[Last night I copied aWindows Server 2008 R2 server image to my central site. The copy of 3 GB took almost 5 hours over the network. I exported my Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine as OVF template. Due the image size of the virtual machine I used 7z tool to slit the image into 50MB files. I copied the directory to the storage server and started the extraction!   The export stopped at 23%. When looking at the file structure all files were 50MB and I could not find any which was less then that. So I had two choices now. Start copy again Run a file integrity MD5 checksum on my source directory which contained all the files and than run that against the destination. I decided to go for the B option and looked for a good MD5 checksum tool.  On exactfile.com I found a small console utility named exf.exe and than I created a digest file against my source folder. The exf.exe –md5sum took couple of minutes to generate the file. I than copied exf.exe and my exactfile.md5 to the destination folder.   After running exf.exe –c extractfile.md5 the MD5 checksum failed on file number 16. When looking at the file it has the same size 512000KB as any other files.   I copied file 016 again over the network and start the extract process all over again. I spent like 15 minutes to find a solution and copy only 50MB file to solve this whole problem. References ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently ImgBurn was scripted for an enterprise deployment. None of the end users using ImgBurn are local administrators. With Nero you could install NeroRights to provide such privileges but ImgBurn has nothing included. To solve this problem, small change group policy is required. This can be done in the local, site, domain or OU level GPO. Start gpedit.msc as administrator  and go to Local Policies, Security Options, and configure &#8220;Devices:Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged on user only&#8221; to Enabled. Log in as user. ImgBurn found one drive now. Without local administrative permissions on Windows XP Sp3.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BGInfo is very useful when managing dozen of Windows Servers in physical and virtual environments. I even managed to get this tool deployed to all client computers at work. It has a huge value for support personal. Since SysInternals has been taken over by Microsoft it now shows a “License Agreement” windows. Sure this is not a problem on the servers; but for client computers we don’t want to bug users with these windows. What should users do? We have two flavors to solve this: Create a reg file and import the key below Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sysinternals\BGInfo] &#34;EulaAccepted&#34;=dword:00000001 I prefer the command line below in a cmd cript which is storen All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder C:\WINDOWS\Bginfo.exe almatis.bgi /timer:0 /silent /NOLICPROMPT /NOCICPROMPT option will skip the license window. Imagine having 1000+ users clicking on the window.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ImgBurn is a free tool that enables you to burn CD/DVD images with ease. All the latest drives are supported (including booktype / bitsetting on many of the major ones). Advanced functionality can be found in the ImgBurn context menus. If you use Wine, it should also run on Linux and other x86-based Unixes. If you never heard of this tool than now you should download and install it . I am using this tool to burn cd-roms from my Windows Server 2008 Hyver-V and it works smoothly. Beside all burning features one other which comes handy is to grab a folder and create a ISO file; then mount the ISO file with Hyper-V or ESX virtual machines. I used this feature many times when working in the test and production environments.   Click here to download the ImgBurn tool.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  vRD 2008 is a tool for the management of remote Windows computers via RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). vRD is ideal for administrators who need to maintain simultaneous connections to multiple servers. Connection-specific settings and login credentials can be organized in folders and subfolders for quick access. visionapp Remote Desktop 2008 is currently one of the most popular products in the market of RDP tools. visionapp Remote Desktop 2008 Express (vRD 2008 Express) offers a multiple number of enhancements and new features compared to the freeware version vRD 1.5, such as the extended support of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista (incl. 64-Bit), an overview on all logged in users and connection history. Limitations of vRD 2008 Express: up to 15 objects 5 credentials storable no Database-Modus available duration is valid until 3-31-2009 With some enhancements and limitations the tool is still out there for public. I used the freeware versions before and still like the Office interface. Good opportunity to check the tool yourself before buying it. Looking into the future plans of mRemote and vRD I think I will buy the license somewhere next year . Please register and download the tool from here if you want to test it. Don&#8217;t worry the limitations is working after you start creating the 16th connection:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you manage multiple computer systems than BgInfo tool from Microsoft (formal SysInternals) is the right tool to display relevant computer information (CPU,Hostname, IP/DNS/DHCP/Default Gateway, Memory,Disk,etc.)&#160; of the system.

You can implement different background colors and identify type of machine your are working on. For example use RED for physical host machines; BLUE for virtual machines and YELLOW for lab machines. Couple years ago I also implemented this tool and used the corporate wallpaper on 500+ desktop clients; we also included the numbers of helpdesk and other important information. &#160; Picture 1. BgInfo Netowknet Wallpaper Below I will summarize 10 steps how to download, configure and prepare your system with Networknet BgInfo template. Download the tool from Microsoft website here; open the the zip file Copy BgInfo.exe to C:\Windows Run BgInfo.exe to register the .bgi extentions Download my Bgi file from http://www.networknet.nl/apps/content/Networknet.bgi Open Networknet.bgi file and modify if needed; save the file to C:\Windows like bginfo.bgi Right click BgInfo.exe and select &#8220;Create Shortcut&#8221; Right click the BgInfo.exe &#8211; Shortcut and change the target to C:\Windows\Bginfo.exe c:\windows\bginfo.bgi /timer:0; click OK Copy the shortcut Goto C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup Paste the shortcut &#160; &#160;]]></description>
