Re: WINDOWS SERVER 2016 – GOING IT ALONE…

Hey... I did say that there will now be two tracks going forward and even put a screenshot in from Microsoft! I am only pointing out that it is interesting that they appear to be saying that there will be *more* updates, i.e. Semi-annual, vs. multi-year changes to the core edition.

Re: Saving files in MS Outlook Natively! NOT as email attachments!

Cool tip Chris! One additional item to note is that by pasting the file into Outlook, it does get replicated back to Exchange. If you have an Office 365 license with an Archive Email box enabled, you can then Archive the files where they will stay forever and with the Archive area being unlimited in size, this becomes quite a powerful unknown feature. One last thing, the built in search will also index the file, so you can easily retrieve it as well! Thanks!

One thing to note when running this tool on a server is that the tool will fail as it won’t find a few of the folders it expects to see that are on a desktop, like the games folder. What I normally do is to run it, wait for it to fail and then create the folders it is looking for, so if it fails on Games, I go and create a Games folder, then it fails on something else and I create that one, eventually it has everything it expects and completes just fine. Great tool.

Re: Did you know? MSCORSVW.EXE Tip

You need to first opena command prompt (CMD.exe) then you can switch to the folder listed in the article and run the command with the proper parameters.

Re: Quick DOS tip! GetMAC!

To get a really abbreviated view of the MAC addresses, you could also always use this command (for all of those Linux guys forced to use Windows! :-) )

ipconfig /all | Find /i "Physical Address"

Of course you'll be on your own to figure out which one goes to which NIC.
