Hi,
sometimes you simply want to copy a vdi file and attach it to another virtual machine.
This will fail because in a VirtualBox Installation each vdi Harddisk must have an unique UUID. This command line changes the UUID of a VDI file.

Hi,
here are some steps to use kerberos authentification against a active directory with OS Version Windows Server 2008 R2 or later on your linux machine.
The default krb5 configuration implementation of the most linux distributions did not work out of the box. I assume that the REALM in /etc/krb5.conf is already configured.
Typical error messages are:
kinit: KDC has no support for encryption type while getting initial credentials
kinit: KDC reply did not match expectations while getting initial credentialsmichael@debdev:~# kinit michael@subdomain.domain.local
Password for michael@subdomain.domain.local:
kinit: KDC has no support for encryption type while getting initial credentialsTo eliminate the “KDC has no support for encryption type while getting initial credentials” issue change the default encryption type in the libdefaults section of the /etc/krb5.conf file.

Hi,
today I will explain the possiblity of the ntfs filesystem to create symbolic- and hardlinks.
Whats the difference? A symbolic link (File) or junction point (Directory) is a pointer to an existing file or directory. These works across volumes.
A hardlink is a file or directory which is referenced by more then one path on the same volume.
An example. The explorer.exe in c:\windows. The most Windows system files are hardlinks. These files have two of them. One in the Windows, respective system32 folder and one to its current version in the component store winsxs.
[C:\]fsutil hardlink list c:\Windows\explorer.exe
\Windows\explorer.exe
\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17567_none_afa79dc39081d0ba\explorer.exethis means the file is stored once and there are two references in the filesystem to it.
With the dir command you cannot identify an hardlink. The only way is fsutil.exe.
Creating an hardlink is very easy. Continue reading Windows: NTFS symbolic links and hard links
Hi,
here is a set of netsh command lines which I use very often.
Show Interface configuration
netsh interface ipv4 show config
Only IP Addresses of all LAN adapters
netsh interface ipv4 show address
Show global TCP/IP Parameters
netsh interface ipv4 show global
Disable and enable a Interface
netsh int set int name="ethernet" admin=disabled
netsh int set int name="ethernet" admin=enabled
Show all network interfaces and its link state
netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces

Hi,
in some cases it may be necessary to log the http traffic of your browser. For example
Mozilla Firefox has the ability to do that. This behaviour is controled by 2 environtment varibales
