tcp – How can I trigger a script when a certain port becomes available for requests? – Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/10/09
Netcat to the rescue waiting for a Windows 10 upgrade to finish (which can take hours):
while ! nc -z 172.22.0.67 3389; do echo "sleeping"; sleep 10; done; echo 'The server is up!'
Via: [WayBack] tcp – How can I trigger a script when a certain port becomes available for requests? – Unix & Linux Stack Exchange, quoting from the answer:
ncis Netcat, “the Swiss-army knife for TCP/IP”,-zmeans: do not send any data, just check if the port is open,while ! nc -z …; do sleep 0.1; done: keep checking and sleeping for one tenth of a second until the port opens up, i.e. Netcat returns with a zero (success) status.

When Windows removes the registry key that solves HighDPI problems for older applications
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/10/01
I write about this registry key before: Applications that scale badely on High-DPI Displays: How to Stop the Madness – via: SQLServerCentral « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff
It seems that there is a bad Windows habit: [WayBack] I just love it when Windows decides to remove registry entries I’ve added and screws up something I fixed for them. – Roderick Gadellaa – Google+

When Windows 8.1 gives 80070643 on applying Office 2013 SP1
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/09/17
Steps to try first:
- Check
%windir%\Windowsupdate.log(on my system, it did not reveal anything special) - In an administrator command prompt, run
sfc /scannow(which takes a few minutes to run) - Reboot
- Run Clean Manager
%windir%\System32\cleanmgr.exe(ensure to clean up update files: it can take tens of minutes to run) - Reboot
- Download the SP1 files (I needed 32-bit x86)
- Install SP1 manually
- If it still hangs:
- In
Appwiz.cpltry a “Repair” of the Office 2013 installation - If it works: Reboot, otherwise:
- Uninstall Office 2013
- Disable the network adapter
- Reboot
- Check if KB3173424 is installed (check it with
Appwiz.cpl)- if not: download on a different machine, transfer over USB, install, then reboot
- Check ifKB3172614 is installed (which has a younger Windows Update Client)
- if not: downloadon a different machine, transfer over USB, install, then reboot
- Enable the network adapter
- Let Windows scan for updates and install them
- If you get an error 80070463 or 80070663: just reboot and retry the updates.
- Reboot
- Run Clean Manager
- Install Office 2013
- Reboot
- In
- Let Windows scan for updates and install them
- Reboot
- Run Clean Manager
- Reboot
The KB3172614 should also alleviate long during (dozens of minutes) high CPU usage of svchost.exe and TiWorker.exe when searching for Windows updates.

How to check if a binary is 32 or 64 bit on Windows? – Super User
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/17
It seems there are a few, but only loading the binary is the sure method to know what the process will be using: [WayBack] How to check if a binary is 32 or 64 bit on Windows? – Super User and [WayBack] How do I determine if a .NET application is 32 or 64 bit? – Stack Overflow.
Details in the answers of these questions, here are a few highlights:
- The first few characters in the binary header reveal what it was originally designed for.
- A .NET executable might still have an x64 header for bootstrapping.
- The Windows SDK has a tool
dumpbin.exewith the/headersoption. - You can use
sigcheck.exefrom SysInternals. - The
fileutility (e.g. from cygwin, which comes with msysgit) will distinguish between 32- and 64-bit executables. - Use the command line
7z.exeon the PE file (Exe or DLL) in question which gives you aCPUline. - Virustotal
File detailis a way to find out if a binary is 32 bit or 64 bit. - Even an executable marked as 32-bit can run as 64-bit if, for example, it’s a .NET executable that can run as 32- or 64-bit. For more information see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3782191/how-do-i-determine-if-a-net-application-is-32-or-64-bit, which has an answer that says that the
CORFLAGSutility can be used to determine how a .NET application will run.

Upgrade to Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 on the Mac App Store
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/17
If you are still on version 8, then note this version will be deprecated at 20180901, so it is time to upgrade to [Archive.is] Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 on the Mac App Store
[Archive.is] Microsoft Remote Desktop 8 on the Mac App Store is now at version 8.0.44, which changed one thing:
This update adds a dismissible banner to the app UI to message the fact that the client will be deprecated soon. You can start using the new version of Remote Desktop today by downloading Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 from the App Store.
It is easy to import your RDP desktops from version 8 into version 18: in the menu, select Connections, then Import from Microsoft Remote Desktop 8, then enter your credentials so the saved logon passwords can be imported from the [WayBack] KeyChain.
A few things to note:
- importing the Microsoft Remote Desktop 8 fails to import the Local Resource bindings
- in Microsoft Remote Desktop 10, editing Local Resource binding right after adding them will crash
Background reading:
- [WayBack] Deprecation of the Remote Desktop 8.0 client for macOS – Enterprise Mobility + Security: The Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0 client for macOS will be retired September 1, 2018. Make sure to test version 10 to ensure it meets your needs.
- [WayBack] New Remote Desktop app for macOS available in the App Store – Enterprise Mobility + Security
