PowerShell on Server Core « Dmitry’s PowerBlog: PowerShell and beyond

Kurbli — Sun, 18 May 2008 13:21:41 GMT

Below is a step-by-step instruction on installing Windows PowerShell on Windows Server 2008 in Server Core mode.
Note that these are in no way official or supported by Microsoft. Microsoft is working on official version of .NET and PowerShell for Server Core installations, so eventually you will be able to get this fully supported. Until then below are the instructions you can use at your own risk, etc., etc.

Virtualization Support for ISA and RRAS (A frustrated reader gets a response from Microsoft)

Kurbli — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 09:21:47 GMT

Rendkívül érdekes történet. A biztonsággal és virtualizálással foglalkozóknak el kell olvasni.

Over the past few months, I've been doing a lot of traveling and I've neglected this blog. (If for some reason, anybody is interested in how I spent my summer, see the end of this post for my quick summary. It feels odd to be writing about myself, but I guess that's what people do in blogs.) Anyway, I'm back now and have a million things to write about. Microsoft has been incredibly busy!
I'll start by sharing a letter from a reader, Jeff Vandervoort, who asked me to get a response from Microsoft. At the end of Jeff's letter, you'll see the response Microsoft gave me. I'll be eager to hear what you think.

Microsoft .NET 3.0 setup

Kurbli — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 02:32:52 GMT

Hogy a keze törjön le annak, aki a Microsoft Update-et összeállítja.
Szegény, öreg, sokak által emlegetett mamája!

Úgy adódott, hogy egy program kipróbálásához az XPSP2 EN gépemre fel kellett rakni a tárgyban szereplő dolgot (leánykori nevén WinFX-et).

A MU elég szűkszavúan megjegyezte:

A problem on your computer is preventing updates from being downloaded or installed

Hosszas egerészés után a semmitmondó log file-ból arra következtettem, hogy valami WIC pampog és azért nem tud feltelepülni a dolog. Így találtam meg, hogy a következő file-t kell letöltenem és telepítenem. (érdekes, hogy ez a WinFX egy korabeli változatában van benne és a MU problémájára adott egyes szakértő tippekben van olyan workaround is, hogy uninstalláljuk valamennyi korábbi változatot, a bétákat is, erre még egy kassa programot is írtak).

wic_x86_enu.exe

ezek után a tárgy szépen(?) fel is ment a gépre. Megjegyzésem csupán annyi, hogy kb fél képernyőnyi semmitmondó setup frame mellett sokszor parancssoros ablakok kavarnak be, továbbá a végén megjegyzi a program írója, hogy a telepítés után célszerű a MU-t mégegyszer lefuttatni, hátha van vmi javítás. Hát volt.

Miért nem lehet az XP MU esetére úgy összeállítani a letöltendőket, hogy:

benne legyen a WIC
benne legyen a .NET 3.0
benne legyen a .NET 3.0 update-je

Mindössze 2 órámba került (120-150 euro/órával tartozik nekem a koma, aki felelős ezért a trehanciáért).

Végezetül egy kis russzicizmus a komának : "Igyi náhuj" (a kevés russzicizmus közül az egyik, ahol a hangsúly a második szó első szótagján van)!

ReactOS 0.3.1 Released

Kurbli — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 09:08:30 GMT

A virtuális ügyek kipróbálására fogom használni.

fireballrus writes with news of the release of ReactOS 0.3.1 — press release, changelog, download packages. ReactOS is "an open source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with applications and drivers written for the Microsoft Windows NT family of operating systems (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003)." The press release notes: "Please don't forget this is an alpha-stage operating system, which means it is not suitable to replace your main OS. Also, this release is aimed to be run mostly in virtualizers / emulators (like QEmu, VMWare, Parallels, etc): because of the big amount of changes, our development team was not able to test/fix all problems which arise when running ReactOS on real hardware."

Novell offers faster virtualized Windows

Kurbli — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 00:49:17 GMT

No, mindenkinek kezébe került az IBM kb 30 évvel ezelőtti dokumentációja a mainframe-ek op.rendszereinek működéséről. Lassan keresztbe-kasul virtualizálunk eltérő platformokat (mint egy "rendes" hippy communában), a lényeg azonban, hogy egy op.rendszer alapvető része a virtualizálás (bármely alkalmazás virtuális gépként, sajátos környezetben működik) mintha elveszne.

Novell and Intel develop software that speeds Xen's ability to run Windows as a virtual machine.

No More Clean Installs Using Upgrade Discs With Windows Vista

Kurbli — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 08:55:37 GMT

Néhány kérdés felmerül bennem, amikre nem tudom a választ:

És akkor hogy' csinálok egy komplett reinstallt?
Felrakok egy upgrade-elhető korábbi verziót és arról upgrade-elem?
Ennek ugyanannak kell lennie, mint ami az eredeti upgrade esetében volt?
Hogyan néz ez ki a regisztrációkor?

When it comes to the Windows Vista, Microsoft is changing a long-standing tradition when it comes to upgrading from a previous version of Windows. No longer will popping in a disc of a previous version of Windows during setup satisfy the people in Redmond when using an upgrade CD. For example, when performing a clean install of Windows XP Profes...

Elfogtam egy levelet

Dear Ferenc,
Congratulations on being selected to continue your participation in the Longhorn Server portion of the beta!!!
We are pleased to announce the release of build 6001.16406.061208-1900 of Longhorn Server.

Örülök, hogy folytathatom böngészéseimet. Azt hiszem, valamennyi korábbi résztvevő kapott ilyen levelet. De azért "kiválasztott"-nak érzem magam.

Dear Santa Bill and Santa Ozzie

Kurbli — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 14:57:07 GMT

Felőlem hozhatná Bill Haley (vagy Ozzy Osbourne) is, csak a http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/ -ról legyen letölthető minden decemberben az összes lokalizált változaté tárgyévi összes patch-e egy ISO file-ban.
Cherry Coke is lesz egy kartonnal.

Susan,

I have just installed WXP Pro SP2 on my newly rebuilt machine. Do you have any words of wisdom with regard to how I can make sure that I have all of the critical patches up to date without going through everything that has been released over the past 3 or 4 years? I don’t want to spend two weeks of work time installing patches.
Dear Santa Bill (or Ozzie):
I know what you'd like me to answer that with... "Buy Vista!" but the reality is that Vista isn't out for the retail marketplace yet. Now hopefully the inlaws will be over during Christmas so it will give this person an excuse to be in their home office and take the eons of time to go from XP sp2 to final patched up versions. The reality is that you haven't made it easy for the home user to take a XP sp2 machine up to full patch status for one machines. Oh sure, you've given us admins things like WSUS and what not..but for the one machines that we have to deal with, or that hopefully you'll have to deal with over your Christmas vacations with your families..... how about reconsidering once again a roll up cdrom.
http://www.incidents.org/diary.php?storyid=1939&isc=83521d98ca25d669c73156778eb3e00e While that gives us some idea.... What I'd really like from Santa Bill or Santa Ozzie is an official Microsoft ISO available in December of each year of "fill in the blank" supported consumer operating systems so that we as sons and daughters of folks that use us a tech support at home can do it easily, or, as in the case of the person who asked, someone trying to get one business system up to full patch state quickly.
P.S. I'll even leave cookies and milk under the tree for you.
