A very useful blog post can be found here, where Simon talks about setting Photo Viewer as the default application for bitmap, gif, jfif, jpeg, wdp and png during a custom task sequence. I am sharing with you on how to make use of Configuration Items to reinstate Photo Viewer for Windows 10 clients to a dynamic collection based on non-compliance (ie, Windows 10 clients that don’t have the reg fix to reinstate Photo Viewer). …
Problem I have been deploying Office 2016 C2R for 600+ clients moving up from a mix of MSI installs, versions ranging from 2007 to 2013. In the process of design & testing I came across an issue where Office 365 Client Updates get stuck downloading at 50% with SCCM 1702. My biggest issue was that this was reproducible across all clients I tried, but it did not impact the downloads of other updates from the …
Are you experiencing high response times to / from guests on your Hyper-V enabled host or Hyper-V Server 2008 R2? Are the NICs on the host Broadcom/Q-Logic? Lots of chatter around the net already document this issue but I want to contribute a solution for Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 with PowerShell 2.0. All case scenarios were of admins running 2012 R2 with either a GUI available or a newer version of PowerShell. Hyper-V 2008 R2 has PowerShell 2.0 …
You can disable or enable UAC in Windows from the registry by using 0 or 1 in the below key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLUA Setting to 0 is the equivalent of dragging the bar down to “Never Notify” in User Account Control Settings (C:\Windows\System32\UserAccountControlSettings.exe). If you later set this registry value back to 1, it will restore back to what it was previously configured as. How do I set the level of UAC from registry? It remembers what …
So I stumbled across this suspicious looking VBScript file not too long ago, and only 3 engines had picked up on it from VirusTotal.com with little info around the web so I thought I’d add some meat the bone. A user complained that their laptop was slow and that he was getting antivirus notifications everytime he plugged in his USB stick – he mentioned this is the 2nd USB stick he has gone through as …
So you’ve followed my Raspberry Pi: Publicly accessible file server and you want to be a bit smarter on how you back up your data. People tell you to back up your data all the time, and you’re probably like me and grunt at the thought of the manual burden of physically copying and pasting your data. Do you want your backup to be automated? Do you want to be able to retrieve older revisions of your files? …

You’ve configured your external hard drive to be accessed within your LAN to start sharing your files, but wouldn’t it be easier to have that drive automatically mounted on other clients within the network at startup, and easily addressed via drive letters? What I mean is instead of typing your RPi’s IP address and Samba share name within Windows Explorer’s address bar, you can just access it like any other attached device in the left …
No-IP enables you to address your Raspberry Pi publicly by hostname rather than IP address. For example, when accessing your machine via SSH from outside your LAN, it’s difficult to remember your public IP. So intead No-IP allows you to create your own easy to remember domain, and assign it to your IP address. This is heavily documented elsewhere on the web. You can check out the official guide here by No-IP themselves, but this includes a neater startup …
For a while I wondered how to delete all products in Magento without using PHP scripts and SQL queries, and for a while I couldn’t find a definitive answer anywhere online. Today I just realised that there’s nothing on the Internet purely because the answer really is straight forward and I’m embarrassed I didn’t explore around a little before asking Google. This works for people using the Community Edition v1.9.1.0 Login to your backend, go to …
