Sometimes you need the SID of a user or group. For example if you want to set permissions with icalcs in multilanguage environments. icacls needs as input the group name or the SID. If you want to set permission for the builtin groups you have to specify the group name in the current language of the operating system, i.e. “Users” for en-US and “Benutzer” for de-DE. The better choice is the SID, the SIDs for builtin groups are always the same. Continue reading Windows: How to determine the SID of a User or Group→
difficult Windows issue today. A user had the problem that he could not delete a Folder (C:\Temp\orders) , also renaming or moving is not possible. The same behaviour with the command line tools rmdir, ren and move.

Sometimes the Windows 7 functionality to automatically arrange or resize a window while dragging is a pain. This feature is called Aero Snap. Here are good news, you can disable the behaviour :-).

To get a offline installation of Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (formerly known as WAIK) download the Websetup ADKSetup.exe and start it – Windows .NET 4 is requiered. If not installed ADKSetup starts the installation – at the first screen you can set the location. When you specify a download path the complete ADK is stored this folder.
Importent: Start adksetup with Administrator permissions, otherwise the option “Download the Assentment…” is invisible.
Share the folder and execute ADKsetup.exe from this location.
if you migrate a Windows Installation to another Computer or virtual environment such as VMWare ESXi or VMWare Workstation it could happen that the system won’t start.
