To view Tasks on Local PC.
tasklist
you will see running tasks and there PID
As shown in the image below . . .
To kill any task on Local PC.
taskkill /F /IM notepad.exe
To kill multiple task on Local PC.
taskkill /F /IM notepad.exe /IM mspaint.exe
To kill task by PID on Local PC. First find out PID of your program by running
tasklist
then note down the PID, its the numeric number written just after application name, for example
notepad.exe 5768 Console 0 3,644 K
so 5768 is the PID number, to kill it by PID number, use the following
taskkill /F /PID 4556
To view Running Tasks on Remote PC.
tasklist /s remote_comp_name
(or ip
To kill any task on Local PC.
taskkill /F /S COMP_NAME /IM notepad.exe
To kill task by PID on Local PC. First find out PID of your program by running
tasklist /s remote_comp_name
(or ip
then note down the PID, its the numeric number written just after application name, for example
notepad.exe 3624 Console 0 3,644 K
so 3624 is the PID number, to kill it by PID number, use the following
taskkill /F /S COMP_NAME /PID 3624
To create Scheduled Task on Remote Windows PC.
You can use the following command.
[Note: You must belong to Administrators group to perform this action.]
schtasks /create /s computer_name /tn "Weekly Backup" /tr c:\Backup_folder\backup.bat /sc weekly /D FRI /st 13:00:00 /sd 02/28/2012 /ru "domain\admin_user" /rp "admin_password"
The above command will create an scheduled task which will run on every Friday at 1:00pm and it will execute backup.bat file.
You can copy backup.bat to remote pc using \\computer_name\c$ and paste it where ever you like.
backup.bat can contain any action like taking backup. For example
C:\windows\system32\xcopy.exe c:\Backup_folder\*.* d:\Autobackup /S /D /C /Y
The above command will copy all data from c:\Backup_folder to d:\Autobackup. Next time when this file will be executed it will run as incremental backup, means only files that have been changed or added will be copied to destination folder.
We used this method to copy user data file to remote File Server :)~

If you have installed ubuntu in Hyper–V and network interface cards not detected. then you have to load the hyper visor modules in ubuntu.
To do this, edit the file /etc/initramfs-tools/modules by following command
nano /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
and add the following four lines:
hv_vmbus hv_storvsc hv_blkvsc hv_netvsc
Then, update the initramfs image:
sudo update-initramfs –u
Now reboot your ubuntu box. after rebooting, issue command
ifconfig
and you will see you network interface cards. Finally configure the interface cards either via GUI or CLI.
For example:
https://aacable.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/ubuntu-howto-configure-ip-address-via-cli-command/
🙂
Add the line in vmx file of your vm guest.
ethernet0.virtualDev = “e1000”

Today at my company I was installing TMG 2010 on Windows 2008 R2 64bit on MS Hyper-visor VM and encounter following errors during installation related to SQL 2008 ,
Example:
# Forefront TMG Installation terminates – SQL Express 2008 Could Not Be Installed
# Error installing TMG 2010: failed to install SQL Express 2008 (reporting instance)
After some googling, I managed to resolved this problem. This is what I did:
# Go to Control Panel > Uninstall Programs
# Uninstall Microsoft SQL Server 2008
# Uninstall Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client
# Go to C:\Program Files
# Delete folders ‘Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway‘ and ‘Microsoft SQL Server’
# Go to C:\Program Files (x86)
# Delete folders ‘Microsoft SQL Server’
# Reboot your windows
# Right click on TMG Setup and select ‘Run as Administrator‘ , and follow on the screen setup.
This time installation went smooth.
After this I installed TMG SP1 and SUP1 from
You can download SP1 from : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=f0fd5770-7360-4916-a5be-a88a0fd76c7c
and you can download SU1 from : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=695d0709-0d8b-45ee-afdb-727c4428ca4d
Afterwards, download TMG SP2 , and install it.
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27603
If you have installed Forefront Remote Management tool to manage your tmg remotely via your workstation, and you received following error
Forefront Remote Management Tool error
Refresh Failed. The parameter is incorrect.
Make sure that you have the same level of Service packs and patches that are installed on TMG Server. Also make sure that your ip is added TMG Rmote Management Policy Section. (In Firewall System Policy)
E.g:
SU1, SP1 , SP2 (Software Update 1, Service Pack 1, Service Pack 2)
I hope these steps will help you too 🙂

I received many emails regarding howto install and configure Vmware ESXi Server .
Following is an short reference guide for beginners. This guide will illustrate you howto install ESXi from beginning till creating Virtual machines in ESXi using VSPHERE Client. Believe me its realy simple :)~
First, Some Overview to VMWARE ESXi and it’s features.
ESX and ESXi do not run on a general purpose OS like Windows or Linux. They install and run directly on your server hardware, which is why they are called “bare-metal hypervisors”
it does not run atop a third-party operating system,but instead includes its own kernel. Up through the current ESX version 5.0, a Linux kernel is started first, and is used to load a variety of specialized virtualization components, including VMware’s vmkernel component. This previously-booted Linux kernel then becomes the first running virtual machine and is called the service console.
Ok let’s START 🙂
First you have to register yourself at vmware site, the registration is free 🙂
Just goto
https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/index.php
and on the right side ” Register to download your Free Product ” window, click on CREATE an ACCOUNT,
After registration process, login with your id and you will see all vmware products for downloads.
Select VMware vSphere Hypervisor 4.1 License (ISO Format)
https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/p/activate.php?p=free-esxi&cmp=FP-ESXiFreeActivation&a=DOWNLOAD_FILE&baseurl=https://download2.vmware.com/software/vi/&filename=VMware-VMvisor-Installer-4.1.0.update1-348481.x86_64.iso
After downloading, burn it to CD (or if you trying it in vmware workstation , use it to boot)
Boot from ISO image OR CD, You will see VMware Boot screen.
As shown in image below
Select ENTER to select ESXi installer,
Now It will start detecting your hardware After it, Welcome screen will appear.
Press ENTER to continue
END User license screen will appear,
Press F11 to continue
Now HDD / Storage Selection screen will appear,
select your hdd and press ENTER
As shown in the image below
.
Now Confirm Install screen will come.
Press F11 to confirm and the installation will begin.
It usually takes 3-5 minutes to install, After Installation complete screen appears, press ENTER to Reboot. By default you have 60 days time to enter License, after 60 days it will expire. (See the Tips ‘n Trick section of this article)
After reboot completes, VMWARE ESXi will start loading its kernel and other components
Now you will see following window.
To customize ESXi for id/password and network management,
Press F2 and you will be prompted to ENTER id password
default id is ‘ root ‘
and password is empty, just ENTER ,
Now you will see something like
First configure your root password. (its necessary so that it can secured)
Now set IP address for ESXi so that you can manage it remotely using vmware Vshpere Client 😀
Select “Configure Management Network”
Select “IP configuration”
Here Select “Set Static IP Address”
and enter your IP Address information.
As shown in the image below . . .
After entering info,
Press ESC to continue
Again Press ESC to continue, and it will ask you to Apply changes
Press Y to continue
ESXi basic setup is complete,
its time to test it
open your browser and open http://esxi-ip-address
and you should see something like below image
OK, ESXi is installed and ready to be explored , its time to hit the road,
I mean configure ESXi and then create virtual machines using Vsphere client to manage ESXi server.
From your Management pc (Winxp, Win7 or any version)
Download VSphere Client from
http://vsphereclient.vmware.com/vsphereclient/3/4/5/0/4/3/VMware-viclient-all-4.1.0-345043.exe
Installation of vmware vsphere client is very simple,
After installation is done, Open it, You will see something like below image
Enter your IP address of ESXi server, id and password (that you have configured in management section.). If you see any certificate warning , you can safely ignore it.
Now you will see your VMware ESXi Server.
As shown in the image below . . .
From here you can create virtual machines.
But first you have to add some STORAGE to store vm related material.
On the main screen , click on “Click here to create a database“
and follow on the screen below.
Done, Now that you have created STORAGE, you can create new VM to get started.
Connect to ESXi using VSPHERE client, on the main screen, click on “NEW VIRTUAL MACHINE”
As shown in the image below . . .

I copied it
If you select “I copied it” the following setting in the target Virtual Machine .vmx configuration file are changed.
uuid.location
uuid.bios
ethernet0.generatedAddress
Which makes the copied Virtual Machine appear uniquely different the the original. Useful if you are running multiple copies of same VM on the same network.
I moved it
If you’re running a single copy of the target Virtual Machine at a time then you may want to chose “I moved it” to avoid possible activation issues with come OSes and or Software that registers the Ethernet MAC as part of its checksum.

Today, one of our IBM system3650X series server encountered an DASD error.
An orange Exclamation light turned ON and the server was not booting properly. This server have 2 HDD running in RAID mode. both HDD green lights were flashing properly which was showing that the HDD are in good condition. So I applied the Power Recycling solution and it worked like a charm 🙂 .
Howto do Power Recycling / Cold Restart
# Shutdown the Server
# Remove Power cables (both) from power supply.
# Wait for 10 Minutes,
# Now plugin the power cables and turn ON the servers and you won’t see orange light 🙂
