WIN8 Goes Multi screen => Great news!

Tom Decaluwé — Thu, 17 May 2012 08:39:05 GMT

For those of you who have been following win8 and have been faced with the same pain as I have regarding the lack of multi screen support for metro app’s in the current preview release, you’ll be delighted to know MS will be enhancing the next win8 release preview with multi screen support.

I’m really looking forward to see what the day to day experience will be like with this feature added as it is one of my most missed things at the moment and does cause me to go to legacy apps more often than metro apps on my desktop setup.

automating XLS in vbscripts on windows 2008 server

Tom Decaluwé — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:21:11 GMT

if you are having trouble getting your VBscripts that use excel components to work as scheduled tasks on a windows 2008 server you should try adding the following directory. It seems to solve a number of automation issues.

・Windows 2008 Server x64
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop

・Windows 2008 Server x86
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop

Accepted as TLG at Teched Orlando and Amsterdam this year

Peter De Tender — Sat, 05 May 2012 16:55:00 GMT

After registering as volunteer for working at TechEd (published earlier this year on the MCT's Born to Learn platform (http://borntolearn.mslearn.net), I was more than excited when I received a confirmation email back 2 weeks ago:

Hi Peter,

Good news.

This e-mail is to confirm that you are selected as Technical Learning Guide (TLG) for the Hands-on-Labs (HOLs) at TechEd Europe 2012 in Amsterdam from Monday June-25 until Friday Jun-29 2012. All TLGs at the event are MCTs.

Note that we have selected you for both TechEd North America and TechEd Europe. Hopefully you will be able to participate at both events.

Please see below for details on TechEd Europe.

- - -

Role. As a TLG volunteering in the HOL area, you are expected to assist attendees with the hands-on-labs for a total of 18 hours during the event. You will be assigned to a group of labs in your area of expertise. The exact schedule, indicating your lab assignments, and the scheduled time slots, will be sent later when we get closer to the event. At that time, you will also have an opportunity to indicate to us your list of not-to-miss sessions, that we will attempt to schedule around.

There are also several lab-based workshops at this year's event. Those are similar to instructor-led labs (ILLs). All the instructors are already assigned by the event, but some of you will be assigned as proctor at those workshops.

As an MCT I'm already used to helping and assisting people in Microsoft Official Course Labs, but being able to do this at TechEd, whow man, I still can hardly believe it is happening!!!

So if you are at one of the TechEds this year, pass by the Hands On Labs so we can have a talk.

Looking forward to meet you there folks !

Presenting 2 sessions at TechFuse Minneapolis next week...

Peter De Tender — Sat, 05 May 2012 16:32:00 GMT

All,

As you all know, I love to speak in public about my (Microsoft) technology addictions; a few weeks ago, I was accepted as speaker at TechFuse , Minneapolis USA, (http://www.benchmarklearning.com/Event/TechFuse/default.aspx , a 2-day conference on Cloud and IT-technology in general, being held May 16-17. (hmm, that's next week :), better start preparing my sessions :)

Here is an extract of my 2 sessions:

Deploying a Hybrid Messaging Environment Using Exchange 2010 and Office 365
Day 1 - 10:00 - 11:15
Peter De Tender , ICTinus
Session Level: 200-Intermediate
Audience: IT Professionals

In this session, I begin with highlighting some Exchange Online features, as well as some updates to Exchange 2010 SP2, that allow for building a hybrid/mixed Exchange environment. Next, I will highlight several Exchange features that exist nowadays on both platforms, allowing for true integration. Finally, I take the attendees on a demo journey to show them how the hybrid configuration works in real life.

Clarifying 10 myths of Forefront TMG 2010
8:15 - 9:45
Peter De Tender, ICTinus
Session Level: 200-Intermediate
Audience: Security professionals

Even after a product history of 10 years (ISA 2000…), it is still hard to convince some folks about the benefits of using Forefront TMG. This session will cover 10 myths of Forefront TMG, and break them down completely so that attendees understand how secure this product can make your company.

Traditionally, I'll be blogging about my experiences when there.

Cheers, Peter

Livemeeting Security, back to basics

Tom Decaluwé — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 21:13:19 GMT

If you are interested in burshing up on your security basics, this thursday I’m presenting a Microsoft Livemeeting in the afternoon

Abstract
Acquiring and deploying the latest and greatest next generation tools in your business is always great and fun for any Administrator. However while businesses are looking at new horizons in the cloud it’s important not to lose track of basic security measures. They remain a critical first line of defense — patching vulnerabilities, strengthening system configurations and properly configuring software and are proven to be effective.

Telnet to port 25 Not working

Tom Decaluwé — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 22:22:34 GMT

Last week I was helping a good colleague of mine troubleshoot a frustrating problem. She is in the process of merging two companies and one of the first thing they would like to achieve is to directly connect the two mail servers to get traffic running internally.

To achieve this the first step was to get IP connectivity running between the two companies and ping from one mail server to the other. Once this was successful all that needed doing was a quick Telnet from ServerA <=> ServerB on port 25.

Sure enough this failed however not with a connection refused type but the connection seemed to work and than dropped off, so the search was on.

1. First thing to do was check with the network providers and admins on both sides to ensure no ACLS where blocking the traffic. When this came back negative there is only one place to look for this type of issues and that’s on the wire.

2. Fired up wireshark on the ServerB side and ran a little trace for packets on tcp.port==25

The traffic seemed to start normally with the 3-way TCP handshake kicking in with Syn > Syn,ACK > ACK

Clearly we had outgoing and incoming packets on port 25 between the two servers so a simple Layer4 firewall could not be causing the problem.

Looking a bit lower in the trace, however you start seeing Retransmits for the data packet with relative Seq=1 Ack=1 len=21 (Wireshark helps us track sequence numbers by showing relative seq nr’s instead of the actual numbers) coming from ServerB. And a bit lower down the trace you start seeing retransmit request for the Syn,Ack packets coming from ServerA.

This should trigger you mind, the Syn and Syn,Ack packets are flowing from ServerB to ServerA and from ServerA back to ServerB but the first data packet sent from ServerB to ServerA is never ack’ed and ServerA starts retransmitting the Syn,Ack packet (second packet in the trace). Clearly for some reason the third packet of the three way handshake did not register well on ServerA’s side.

The best way to view this type of traffic in wireshark is to use the Flow Graph Statistic tool. This view realy gives you a single birds eye overview of the traffic flow and you realy see the retransmissions following each other.

of course to confirm this issue we needed to trace on the ServerA end of the communication to see if it ever received the 3de handshake Ack packet

Again packets and flow graphs show all. You can clearly see he Syn Packet arrive and then the 3 consecutive Syn,ack packets being sent to ServerB and the final RST packet when no ACK packet is received.

So the summary was easily made:

- Packets where flowing between the two servers, the Ack packet left the ServerB but never arrived on ServerA => the packet must have gotten lost in transit. A call to the network provider resolved this as being a symmetric routing going belly up and sure enough after their intervention the situation was resolved and mail started flowing.

Malware stealth, be aware of the trends

Tom Decaluwé — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 20:07:55 GMT

I have been on the IT security landscape for quite some time now and one of the things I have been facing more and more the past few months is discussions about how important anti-virus software is.

When you where in the IT security industry 10 years ago virus was the buzz word, they where vicious things that needed to be eradicated at the root.

However as time has progressed and technologies evolved viruses changed into Malware and where they used to be targeted at showing the world the code name of their creators and spreading the word, they are now made to be as stealthy as possible and live hidden in systems collecting data.

One of the most scary trends I have been seeing is the tendency of malware to be digitally signed sometimes with stolen certificates of highly trusted parties the most notorious one being stuxnet signed by JMicron and Realtek. It’s important for IT-pro’s to be aware of these trends so they know what to look for and can continue to keep their business executives and end-users on the alert.

As malware becomes more stealthy by design, and the overall end-user’s indifference towards the importance of data confidentiality grows, our task as security conscious IT-Pro will grow even more “exciting”.

some more win8 experience

Tom Decaluwé — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 22:41:40 GMT

Well I have been working with win8 fore some time now and it’s doing alright.

I do however have some negative feedback. I’m the type of user that does a lot of multitasking and to optimize on this I need a lot of desktop real estate. So very often you will find me working on dual and more monitor setups. I love my multi monitor setups, the just make working on multiple tasks much easier and faster.

With win8 however multi-monitor is supported as you can see, however the metro-app interface was clearly made to work single monitor. The Metro interface always shows on the primary display leaving the secondary to the desktop.

You can not drag and drop metro apps to the second desktop. If you start clicking on apps that are running on the second desktop you can work on it but the primary display does not go to the desktop. Now this can be good or bad but I would have preferred some extra multi monitor flexibility.

This situation is not all bad but when you are use to swapping monitors a lot you will have to take into account that metro apps are not as movable as standard windows apps.

What I have found is I’m using more of the classic apps now than I would have hoped because of this but the moment I’m on single mobile monitor with my laptop I use the metro apps.

Win8 hidden text

Tom Decaluwé — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 20:21:43 GMT

If you have been working with windows 8 you might have noticed the little icon next to password fields.

This is one of the many neat new features in windows 8 you need to use a few times before you completely appreciate the power of it’s simplicity.

Just press it and as long as you hold the mouse down you password field becomes plain text. let go and it goes back to hidden characters.

my First day with win8

Tom Decaluwé — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 21:31:15 GMT

Well today I finally managed to free-up 30 minutes and reinstall my daily working laptop to Windows 8.

I have been working with windows 8 in lab environments since day one but I never managed to shift my working laptop.

So today I started my day thinking I would spend the better part of the day installing my laptop. Nothing however was less right. I flipped the win8 binaries on a bootable USB stick and believe it or not within less than 20 minutes the laptop was installed and I had added it to our corp domain.

After adding it to the domain I decided to move the pc object and my user out of our default OU structure to avoid pushing win7 lockdown GPO’s on it so I could fully enjoy win8.

The hardware I’m using is Dell Latitude E6410 and all the critical drivers where right there out of the box so I didn’t have to worry about drivers and I could jump right in and start installing some initial critical business apps.

1) My first app was office 2010 of course nothing to note there except maybe after the install I went back to the metro interface and removed a whole load of default tiles office install created. It seems like every single icon the office install put’s in your win7’s start menu get’s a tile by default, this does give some clutter but easy enough the fix. Just right click the tile you want to remove and hit the button UnPin in the bottom left corner.

2) The second thing I did was give win8 a real run for it’s money. I have a livescribe smart ben and I really use it a lot so I thought I would try installing the bespoke application that links to the smart pen. If there was one thing I would expect win8 to fail on it would have been this sync hardware application. But sure enough it installed just fine and the smartpen connected and synced all it’s data just fine.

Overall my main worry was the metro screen. During my demo’s I liked the idea but of course you never know how it’s going to work in real live until you start using it.

Turns out it’s absolutely not as intrusive as I thought in effect it replace the start menu on a keyboard driven system just fine up until now. You have to compare it with the amount of time you spend on the start menu in win7 not the time you spend on the desktop. I don’t know how the metro front will stack up when I start installing more and more app’s but till now it’s been working great and I’m starting to wonder what would happen if I go back to win7 in 5 weeks time. I might just miss the tile look and feel.

Well all this just to say that my first production day on win8 went just great and I’ll keep you all posted as I gain more experience with the platform in production.

MS12-020–Critical => Patch now

Tom Decaluwé — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 21:23:30 GMT

For all of you following the MS patch cycle you will have seen this already but for those of you planning on patching next week, you should look at MS12-020 with high urgency.

This Patch fixes issues with RDP in every flavor of windows against both remote code execution and denial of service.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms12-020

The vulnerabilities where disclosed to MS privately (thanks for that!) so don’t wait and get patching now before the reverse engineers do it for you.

Swipe from the Left ON Metro RD client

Tom Decaluwé — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 21:26:48 GMT

During my remote desktop session at Techdays 2012 Belguim I explained how a simple touch screen . metro style movement becomes realy difficult in a mouse driven hyper-V environment.

A simple Swipe from the left and Swipe from the top use up the better part of a couple of weeks for me to find how to do it.

So to save you all the trouble, this is how to do it:

Start RD client Metro by clicking the new icon

1) Once your in the RD screen move you out of the RD guest by exiting the windows on the top of the screen.

2) Click on the menu bar at the top of the Guest OS screen releasing your cursor from the Guest OS and bringing the focus back to the Host OS

3) move you mouse around the window to the bottom left corner. Make sure you don’t re enter the window during the process.

4) Re-enter the screen at the bottom left corner of the Guest OS screen

5) Click the mouse to bring the focus back to the Guest OS and slightly wiggle the mouse. You should see the start menu appear.

Swipe from the TOP in Metro RD client

Tom Decaluwé — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 20:59:45 GMT

In my previous post I explained how to do a simple swipe from the left in a hyper-v RD client environment.

This however is not the only movement you need to know when working with RD client in hyper-V. Swipe from the top gives you some wonderfull interface options that you really need to see.

So how does it work:

Start RD client Metro by clicking the new icon

Once your in the RD screen logon to one of you servers

1) move your mouse to the absolute top of the Guest os, the exact spot were background and Hyper-V client menu bar meet

2) right click your mouse

The RD metro client option menu should neatly appear for you.

Quick remote powershell using Win8 server manager

Tom Decaluwé — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:17:09 GMT

I have been working with win8 devloper preview for some time know and one of the things that you get use to very fast and start to miss when you head back to your Windows 2008 production systems is the New Server manager.

It’s a fantastic interface that brings all the controle over all your servers nicely into one location / one interface.

One of the things I have especially come to love is the easy of opening a remote server powershell box.

Notice how not only is the Server Name Displayed but also the ip’s. Yes in an ideal ipV6 environment this would give very little extra but up till now most of us still work in V4 networks.

In this screenshot you can see I have 4 systems running in a lab. Now all I need to do to powershell onto one of the boxes is right click it

look at the amount of remote controle tools you have at your finger tips. Just click Windows Powershell and within seconds a remoted powershell window will open

Once you get use to Server Manager you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.

And incase you didn’t notice, there is much more than just powershell ready for your usage.

Win8 file copy

Tom Decaluwé — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:04:30 GMT

I have been playing with win8 server and client for a while now and one of the nice new features that has not got much attention is the new detailed file copy interface.

As many of you know and have read SMB 2.2 is being introduced in win8 and it realy does make a big difference. But apart from a new protocol we are also seeing a new interface being introduced.

When doing a standard copy you get a clear % wise indication fo progress and the new posibility to PAUSE a file copy while in transit.

when you click More Details yo get a nice view of the current transfer speed on the line and a graph illustrating the speed over time. This will certainly help troubleshoot, identify slow copy processes or visualise some demo’s.

PAUSE is great new enhancement. How often has a file transfer slowed down your laptop when transferring a big file and at the same time someone asks you to quickly do something. Now you can just pause the file copy, do the quick thing you need to do and pickup where you left off.

Free NFR license for Veeam Backup & Replication v6 for Hyper-V

Tom Decaluwé — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 20:25:07 GMT

The last 3 months I have been working very hard on Business continuity. With the introduction of virtualization many years ago a new era of backup was born.

Around the year change Veeam released there next version of Backujp and Replication.

With this new release there is a new shift in backup technology. For me this is the first backup solution that does not focus on the backup process, this was mastered many years ago. You can now look at this product as being a RESTORE tool instead of a backup tool. Everything this product does is oriented at ensuring backups are 100% restorable and ensuring extremely fast recovery after failure.

This year our community IT-Talks will be starting up again and our fist session will be focused on the great product.

If you are a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) or a Most Valuable Professional (MVP), you can get a FREE 2-socket NFR* license for Veeam Backup & Replication v6 for your home or work lab.

Be sure to check out this tool as you will be amazed at what it can do for you.

My first visit experience to the Microsoft Campus in Redmond USA

Peter De Tender — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 13:26:09 GMT

Hi all,

While I’m mostly a technical blog post writer, I thought I could make a lot of people happy, by sharing my “first visit experiences” to the Microsoft Campus in Redmond USA.

(My reason for visit here was the “Microsoft Learning / MCT Advisory Council 2012 meetings”; check out my earlier blog posts on this subject to get an overview what this council discussed about with MSL…)

While I was only at the Campus for 3 days, it gave me so much good feeling that I just could not blog about it.

The biggest impression that stays in my mind is the fact that this Campus is HUGE!! and by huge, I mean huge… I think from one side to the other, it is stretched over multiple square km. There are even offices in Bellevue (closer to Seattle), and probably in other nearby regions I do not know about.

To give you an idea, I share a picture of the Campus plan and some sight seeing images:

My hotel was the Courtyard by Marriot (located in the upper left corner of the picture), within walking distance from the Campus (15-20min). Our meetings were organized in “The Mixer” and “SubMixer”. These are in fact little villages on their own, where MS people can find several restaurants, shops,…

Do a search on “Microsoft Campus Mixer Submixer” on the internet, and you will easily find out what I mean…

Coming back to the stretched aspect of the Campus: Microsoft has its own shuttle service, The Connector, which is free for all MS people and visitors, helping you to get from one building to another. A free taxi service as such. And this transportation service is not only within Campus, but also outside to regions further away. I heard a story from someone who commutes to work on a daily basis, waiting at the “Connector bus stop” right in front of his home, needing a ride of 30min to get to the Campus. And you wouldn’t believe it (but hey, this is Microsoft remember…), it has free Wifi on board !!

Below picture was taken in front of Campus Building 99, where I was told the Xbox 360 / Kinect R&D team is located…

The last cool thing that will stay in my mind for a very long time is the GreatRoom. This is an exclusive room (see the tag “on invitation only…”) which is built around the idea of a living room at home, having all the coolest Microsoft devices (Xbox 360, Kinect, Windows 7 phones, slates,…) to show you how it can be integrated in your day-to-day private live.

That’s about it for now. I can only say Thank you Microsoft for inviting me to your Campus. You have a new fan on your visitor’s list. I hope I’ll get back soon…

Oh, I forgot… they are even serving Starbucks Coffee here…
