Access DB has a simple table layout, and a couple of queries and comboboxes.

Using the queries and by generating a PivotTable view, it’s easy to spot growth trends on disks.

The beta version of Windows 7 (the public build 7000, and build 7022) offers support in BCDedit to boot from a VHD file on hard disk.
As explained in this Edge video (http://edge.technet.com/Media/Boot-from-VHD-in-Win7/) the install behaves just like normal, with a few exceptions such as BItlocker support and Hibernate (since these are disk-dependent).

It looks like a ‘nice to have’ feature for the ubertweaker and enthusiast at first, but think about this:

What if you need to support a DTA environment for desktops? Now, you don’t have to mess around with Virtualization software – just provision and deploy the VHD file with the appropriate configuration (such as a segmented VLAN for Test or Dev) and let your application developers use the same hardware.
No double PCs, no double network outlets, no extra poweroutlets or powerconsumption (think green here).

Sure, it needs some tweaking (preventing disk access between images) but.. tempting nonetheless…

Guess you can learn something new every day.

http://blogs.msdn.com/ts/archive/2008/08/07/smart-sizing-the-ts-client.aspx

Since the Windows XP timeframe, the TS Client has had the ability to run in “smart-sized” mode (users of Remote Assistance will be familiar with this mode). Smart-sized mode means that the entire remote desktop is always visible in the client window, with no scrollbars being necessary. In effect, for the same size client window, smart-sizing shows you more graphic data, while a non-smart-sized client window has to use scrollbars and shows much less.

Which means by adding

smart sizing:i:1

to a .rdp file (which is a textfile after all) you can get resizing Remote desktop windows too

This isn’t Dutch.
Not even close.

The original text reads:

ImageX 6001.18000 (x86 and x64 for Windows Server 2008 and Vista SP1) Standalone Download

ImageX is a command-line tool that enables original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), corporations and Windows enthusiasts to capture, to modify, and to apply file-based disk images for rapid deployment. ImageX works with Windows image (.wim) files and can work with other technologies that use .wim images, such as Windows Setup, Windows Deployment Services (Windows DS), and the System Management Server (SMS) Operating System Feature Deployment Pack.

ImageX is commonly used to manipulate and manage Windows setup installation disc image file content, such as to slipstream Windows Vista SP1 service pack into RTM version of Windows Vista image. ImageX comes free with Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK or WAIK). The WAIK version 6001.18000 (or 6.0.6001.18000) is released with the launch of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1.

WAIK is a download of more than 1 GB, and requires user to burn the ISO image to disc. If you require only ImageX, here’s the extracted ImageX version 6001.18000 for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (amd64 or x64) Windows. Within the RAR compressed archive includes the corresponding version of Vsp1cln.exe, the tool to clean up and remove backup RTM version of files after installing Service Pack 1.

Download ImageX for 32-bit Windows: ImageX_x86.rar
Download ImageX for 64-bit Windows: ImageX_x64.rar

Both archives contain imagex.exe, intlcfg.exe, vsp1cln.exe, wimfltr.inf, wimfltr.sys, and wimgapi.dll.
