    calendar Mar 4, 2013 · 4 min read  ·

    Read this updated post instead. It's superior in a number of ways ;)

    Alright, so I've wanted to setup a Remote Desktop Gateway for years, but the configuration seemed so.. time-intensive. Then I moved to Belgium, my living situation changed and I didn't want to setup a whole new VPN server to access my virtual lab. …

  • NoMachine NX for OS X Successfully Authenticates But Won't Load Sessions

    calendar Mar 1, 2013 · 3 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    I recently discovered NoMachine's NX while looking for an easy way to encrypt VNC. NX, if you aren't familiar with it, is generally a PITA to setup, but well worth the pain (on Linux anyway). All traffic goes over SSH and while the performance isn't as great as Windows' RDP, it's faster and more secure than VNC. …

    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    Recently, a colleague requested that I perform a backup of a development site collection at https://sp.ad.local and restore it to the test site collection https://test.ad.local/sites/sp.

    The test site collection was one of two site collections on the test.ad.local web app. It's been a while since I've done anything in …

  • Leveraging SQL Database Snapshots

    calendar Aug 2, 2012  · Brandon Abshire   · 4 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    I've known about SQL Database Snapshots for a while, but never really took the time to use the feature.  Lately, I've gotten into mirroring again and decided to play around with Database Snapshots.  I should clarify at this point that I'm speaking about the native SQL snapshot capabilities, and not a filer technology …

  • OS X: How to Setup NAT on Lion and Mountain Lion

    calendar Jul 15, 2012 · 6 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    It appears Apple changed the way NAT works, starting in Lion and this upset a lot of people. Apparently, nat would just stop working for some folks after they upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard.

    Finding really in-depth information about Apple's NAT implementation is surprisingly hard. While attempting to figure out how …

  • [Solved] Parallels Desktop: Interface vmnet1 is not present. This should be created at boot time.

    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    I recently modified my Parallels DHCP settings because I'm really particular about the internal subnets I work with in the lab (192.168 is the ugliest subnet ever). Once I modified the file at /Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/networking (OS X) my Parallels Desktop erred out and said

  • SQL Server Discovery Tools and Scripts

    calendar May 24, 2012 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    Each time I start a new contract, the first thing I do is search for all SQL Servers across any network/subnet to which I have access. While the documentation I get is usually paltry or non-existent. When it does exist, it's usually only for the production SQL Servers. Sometimes, most production SQL Servers aren't even …

  • A Possible Infinite Recompile was Detected - SQL Server Bug with Linked Servers

    calendar May 14, 2012  · Brandon Abshire   · 2 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    I recently assisted in migrating a very large system from SQL Server 2005 SP3 to SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1.  The actual migration of the database went off without a hitch, but we soon encountered an odd error with the application querying a view over a linked server.

    The application was web-based and began throwing an …

  • Using Bookpedia, SQLite, Book+ and PowerShell to Organize Your e-Book Collection

    This setup is so unlikely, I doubt anyone on the 'net will be looking for this solution but: if you're an eBook loving Windows developer who uses a Macbook Pro for your primary workstation, this may appeal to you.

    My Macbook Pro runs Windows 7 within Parallels. It's fast and slick and I <3 it. My eBook reader of …
