The simple solution with awk is doing:

awk ‘{print $NF}’

This is useful when like in the following  we want to list just files skipping directories:

ls -l | awk ‘NR!=1 && !/^d/ {print $NF}

There are other options of course, take a look at this example from a nice collection of bash and unix tips

I’m making a note as I forgot which function was I using after not publishing  anything  for a while

In emacs the function is contained in the package htmlize. This guy made a function to directly have the output code with the css styles inline, as that is necessary when posting in wordpress blogs.

Daveberm on Clustering For Mere Mortals had did some good effort to test new Dynamic VHD files in windows 2008 R2, With the release of Windows Server 2008 R2, one of the enhancements was improving the performance of dynamic VHD files. Prior to R2, writes to dynamically expanding VHD files could be 3x slower than writes to a fixed size VHD file due to limited meta data caching. Overall, Microsoft is claiming the performance of dynamic VHD files vs. fixed size VHD files is almost identical.

Pass-through disks are another option when configuring a Hyper-V VM. According to my results, the performance of a pass-through disk is marginally better than that of VHD files. However, if you use pass-through disks you lose all of the benefits of VHD files such as portability, snap-shotting and thin provisioning. Considering these trade-offs, using pass-through disks should really only be considered if you require a disk that is greater than 2 TB in size or if your application is I/O bound and you really could benefit from another .1 ms shaved off your average response time.

Te-ai saturat sa cheltui foarte multi bani pentru produse de inalbire a dintilor? Iata cateva sfaturi care vor face ca dintii tai sa fie mai albi in mod natural si fara prea multe costuri.

1. Bicarbonatul de sodiu.  Multe persoane folosesc asta pentru albirea dintilor si chiar si medicii dentisti sunt de acord ca este eficient. Sunt paste de dinti care includ bicarbonatul de sodiu printre ingrediente. Acesta poate fi folosit fie singur: pe o periuta de dinti umezita, sau puteti amesteca cu pasta de dinti pentru a avea un gust mai placut.
2. Peroxidul de hidrogen (apa oxigenata). Este posibil sa simti usoare arsuri atunci  cand il veti folosi. Clatiti usor gura timp de un minut, dupa care folositi apa pentru a indeparta gustul lasat. Efectele ar trebui sa se vada in cateva saptamani.
3. Mancati capsuni pentru a inalbi dintii in mod natural. Zdrobiti capsunile si apoi folositi o periuta de dinti pentru a le imprastia pe toata suprafata dintilor. Spalati apoi dintii cu pasta de dinti pe baza de fluor.

Obbiettivo: rinominare un file in MS/DOS.
Ambiente di lavoro: MS/DOS
OS: Windows Vista
Comando: ren nomefile1.txt nomefile2.txt
Note: il comando corrispettivo nell’ambiente GNU/LINUX è mv: quest’ultimo, è ancora più potente di ren in quanto consente contemporaneamente di spostare e rinominare lo stesso file.

My team were trying to implement VMM R2 in multiple domains topology. They installed VMM R2 on windows 2008 R2. We start by implementing VMM 2008 R2 and SSP (Self Service Portal)on Domain A.

We have users from domain A and B. Ans one way trust relationship between those domain from domain A to B.  i.e Domain A trust users from domain B.

This scenario was designed so that users from Domain A, B would have the capability to deploy new VMs using Web interface (SSP).

The installation went fine with local admin account (Domain user from domain A with local admin privilege) and I am able to see all users from Domain A and B and add them to Self Service portal users role.

The problem that users from domain B can’t log in to SSP while users from domain A can.

As per Microsoft Technet

Does VMM support cross-domain authentication?

Yes. Kerberos authentication is a prerequisite for VMM. To configure your environment to allow users in one Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain to access VMM resources in another domain, you can either ensure that both domains are in the same forest or configure a forest-level trust relationship and use Kerberos authentication. To set up a forest-level trust relationship, both domains must be in Windows Server 2003 forest mode. Windows 2000 Server does not support forest-level trusts.

So this was the first problem.. VMM should use Kerberos authentication while my one way trust was External ( NTLM ).. My domain are above 2003 so I delete my old trust and create new forest one way trust again.

Now VMM should work but Opsssss it did not ?!!!!!!

As per Microsoft technet it should work fine but nothing worked at all. After some digging with the trust we found it. it has to be 2-way forest level trust between the two domains. :S

And we got confirmation from Microsoft:

Based on this finding, I fully analyze all internal Kerberos traffic again and the two trust is required from SSP.

1. if we only configure one-way trust from SCVMM server domain to user domain, the DC in SCVMM domain will be able to establish secure channel with user domain and get the trust TGT ticket. Thus we can configure SSP and choose user from trusted domain.

2. However, when user accesses SCVMM portal from trusted domain, because it is one way and there is no trusted account for user domain in SCVMM domain, the user cannot get trusted TGT ticket and thus the user cannot get session ticket to access SSP.  The accessing will fail back to NTLM by SCVMM DC contacts DC in user domain for NTLM authentication.

According to authentication requirement for SCVMM, we need configure two-way trust so that user can get session ticket to access SSP in other domain.

So… to have users from different domain we need configure two-way trust so that user can get session ticket to access SSP in other domain.

Principalele motive pentru care fisierele sunt arhivate este acela de a le micsora dimensiunea acestora si de a folosi mai multe fisiere ca un singur fisier pentru partajarea acestora in retea, trimiterea pe email etc. Cele mai folosite formate de arhive de fisiere sunt ZIP si RAR. Arhivele ZIP sunt implicit suportate de Windows. Nu aveti nevoie de nici un program ajutator pentru manipularea lor. Pentru a gestiona arhive rar aveti nevoie de programe speciale precum WinRAR sau 7ZIP.

Pentru arhive ZIP

1. Selectati fisierele dorite.
2. Apasati click dreapta.
3. Selectati Send to->Compressed (zipped) folder.
4. Asteptati ca arhiva sa fie creata.

Pentru arhive RAR

1. Descarcati si instalati programul WinRar.
2. Selectati fisierele dorite.
3. Apasati click dreapta.
4. Selectati “Add to <nume arhiva.rar>“. (vedeti Figura 1).
5. Asteptati ca arhiva sa fie creata.

This one is funny..Source

Well, the title says it all. If the host you’re trying to install SCVMM on has a name that contains “-SCVMM-” in upper case letters, setup fails with Error 257.

Example: MUC-SCVMM-1

Resolution: Use a slightly different name, like “MUC-SCVMMR2-1″ or “MUC-SCVmm-1″,

The reason is that the uppercase string “-SCVMM-” is used internally for host cummincation by SCVMM.

Para validar una fecha en formato mes/año o mm/YYYY usando JavaScript se puede hace uso de la siguiente funcion, que hace uso de una expresion regular, de hecho, las expresiones regulares abren un mundo de posibilidades.

function validateMMYYYY(cadena) {
	var reg = new RegExp("(((0[123456789]|10|11|12)/(([1][9][0-9][0-9])|([2][0-9][0-9][0-9]))))");

	if (reg.test(cadena))
		return true;
	else
		return false;
}

Recomiendo usar Expresso de www.ultrapico.com, para crear las expresiones regulares y probarlas. Una pagina para las expresiones regulares es precisamente http://regexlib.com

Para el acordeón, una forma de calcular el dia inicial y final de un mes, esto con el fin de determinar si un mes tiene 28, 30 o 31, es de la siguiente manera.

declare @mes varchar(2)
declare @fecha as varchar(8)
set @mes = '02'
set @fecha = '2009' + @mes + '01'
select @fecha AS FECHA_INICIAL,
	CAST (@fecha as smalldatetime) AS FECHA_INICIAL,
	dateadd(m,1, CAST (@fecha as smalldatetime)) AS FECHA_SIGUIENTE,
	dateadd(d,-1,dateadd(m,1, CAST (@fecha as smalldatetime))) AS FECHA_FINAL

Un escenario que me imagino para usarlo es en el que se requiere calcular o ejecutar un proceso en un mes en particular (fecha entre un rango inicial y final), sin embargo, esto es solo una curiosidad, porque tambien es posible hacer un calculo para un mes en particular poniendo en la condicion algo así como esto

SELECT * FROM TABLA WHERE MONTH(FECHA)=@MES

Sin embargo, creo que hacerlo de esta manera, de tener un índice la TABLA en cuestión no se usuaría en la consulta, no así si usaramos una condición de tipo between @FECHA_INICIAL AND @FECHA_FINAL. Que alguien me corriga, si tengo la idea errónea.

Se presupune ca hard-disk-ul este deja partitionat si aveti instalat sistemul de operare. Atat pentru formatarea unei parititii, cat si pentru formatarea unui stick USB se urmeaza aceeasi pasi.

Atentie! Prin formatare se pierd toate datele. Aveti grija sa salvati datele importante inainte de a urma pasii urmatori.

1. Dati click dreapta pe partitia sau pe stick-ul pe care doriti sa il formatati.
2. Alegeti “Format” din meniul contextual deschis.
3. Din “File System” alegeti sistemul de fisiere pe care doriti sa il folositi. De obicei se foloseste NTFS pentru partitii si FAT32 pentru stick-uri USB.
4. Apasati Start.
5. Asteptati ca formatarea sa se incheie. La sfarsitul formatarii va aparea un mesaj de informare.

Most B2B marketers and support providers have become adept at carrying on multiple IM conversations during conference calls, one ear listening while producing a running commentary on the merits of the discussion, or even expanding the back-channel conversation well beyond the topic at hand.  During meetings (digital etiquette aside), text messaging now consumes much more attention than the running dialogue.  Conference call and net-meeting participants now expect the sidebar comments from guests attending.

That this behavior is now invading the presentation world should be no surprise – but the consequences for speakers and panels in how they prepare and present are large.  Some call it “crowd force”, some “crowd source”. By whatever name the dynamic will need attention.

At two recent public events, I watched as the speakers struggled to solve the challenge of presenting to a live audience, and in real-time, negotiating the inclusion of Twitter comments and Twitter commentary.   No longer can a presenter totally dictate the flow of information. In one of the forums, the audience substantially created its own parallel conversation (hash tagged to the topic) without even having a seat on stage and with the presenter totally unaware. While perhaps only 30% of the audience was able to “see” both presentations, the behavior opens a brave new world for speakers, panelists and presenters at all levels.

So how best to take advantage of the new medium… how best to avoid the perils…

Integrating Social Media from Podiums and Panels

Expect Social Dialogue as the Norm, not the exception – Presentation  how’s and how-nots have been well documented.  Today, it just makes good business sense to expect that there will be Twitter comments as you present, that blog posts will go-live during your presentation and immediately after.  By expecting this, you can actually bake in sound bites and make direct references to social media w/in your presentation, thereby both engaging the participation as well as maintaining a semblance of conversation management.

Prompt the Event Sponsors to Integrate digital dialogue w/physical dialogue.  Ask for a screen at the podium so you can monitor the tweet-stream; consider a large console on-stage to proactively invite participation both in-room and to those outside the conference itself. By defining an engagement setting, speakers/panelists retain more command of the presentation flow.  Even if it’s highly unlikely that your audience will actively make use of social media conversation during your presentation, give a nod to the new media opportunity and your credentials as a thought leader.

Add  a “Social Engagement” quotient to your audience analysis – Most speakers/panelists go thru an exercise when preparing material for public consumption that includes an audience evaluation (subject knowledge, competitive and company awareness, hot topics/trends of the day, etc.  Presenters should consider a “Twitter Quotient”, as well – ie, the likely tweet adoption rate and use as a means for assessing the likelihood for back-channel conversation.

Add a New Page as You Read the Room– We’re all taught to scan the audience for signs of engagement and/or boredom, and to adjust presentation style real-time to better respond.  Add to this a scan for laptops and fingers flying across keyboards… for Bberry/iPhone thumb-fests  - all as indicators that tweets and blog posts may have invaded the room.  I’ve heard some discussions around having a colleague attend who specifically will monitor for back-channel discussion, and who can signal presenters when comments warrant inclusion.  Some go so far as to schedule “Twitter Breaks” as a formal part of the presentation, and where speakers/panelists dedicate a few minutes directly to social community feedback/discussion.

Would be insightful to hear from speakers on whether they’ve thought about this aspect of presentations, whether anyone has further first-hand experiences to share, and/or from coaches/trainers who have thoughts on this topic.
