  • Dell Latitude E6400, STOP 0x101 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V

    My work recently gave me a new Latitude E6400 (the E6500 was just a bit too heavy) which is a great machine for running virtual machines out of the office. It has an internal 7200 RPM drive, a modular drive (120GB 1.8" 5400 RPM) and I can connect an external 2.5" 7200 RPM drive via the eSata port. It also supports up to 8GB of RAM, ...

  • Home Data Centre Upgrade #3

    After adding extra disks to the home "data centre" and then getting a new backup device (Dell RD1000), today I took a punt on upgrading the RAM.

  • Windows Hyper-V and Wireless adapters - using RRAS (Routing and Remote Access Service)

    I see that Ben Armstrong has posted instructions on how to use Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to give your Hyper-V virtual machines access to networks via a wireless adapter.

In that folder are a set of symbolic links, that are linked to the actual config files for each virtual machine.

  • Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V backup (Dell RD1000 review)

    Meta: IIS and Kerberos Part 6 is coming (for anyone interested in IIS still reading this blog) The Windows Server 2008 backup feature no longer supports direct backup to disk (you'll need third party backup software to do that). You can backup to disk though - either to a SAN (or network share). Or to disk based backup media like the Dell ...
