Interesting:
Think twice before you give VMs extra vCPUs which they don’t really need. You can negatively impact the performance of your environment since the vmkernel has to try and find a time slot in which it can give all vCPUs access to the physical cores.

[WayBack] While cleaning up my “attic”, I came across some old QuickReport 1.0 documents and BDE installation tips so I scanned them.
I think the first document is by this Lars Søndergaard.
The last is by Dave Robinson, then working at Amber Computer Systems Inc, but I could not find on-line activity of him If you know him, please let me know his on-line contact info.

Glad I found out about the string to add to a .RDP file to make it connect to the administrative console whenever your remote supports that:
connect to console:i:1

Any ideas for a good text to direct anonymous and blocked numbers too?
I’m thinking along these lines:
You are calling with a blocked, or anonymous number. We get too many of those, mostly from marketing or sales persons. Call back with your real number and you might get to talk to a real person.

This is what I needed:
:: http://www.windows-commandline.com/disable-screensaver-registry-settings/
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v ScreenSaveActive /t REG_SZ /d 0 /f
And this one to verify the current settings:
:: http://www.windows-commandline.com/disable-screensaver-registry-settings/
:: possible names
:: ScreenSaveActive
:: ScreenSaveTimeOut
:: ScreenSaverIsSecure
reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" | findstr /I /C:"ScreenSave"

I needed to compare the local group memberships on a few systems.
I knew there is the distinction between
- net group (which despite documentation requires /domain as it does not support local groups: you get a nice NET HELPMSG 3515 error) and
- net localgroup (which can either run locally or with /domain).
So I came up with this batch file thanks to Command Line Kung Fu:
:: http://blog.commandlinekungfu.com/2009/06/episode-43-users-groups.html
for /F "skip=4 delims=*" %%g in ('net localgroup ^| find /v "The command completed successfully"') do @net localgroup "%%g"
It can be done in PowerShell too, but is more work.
Based on that and Beyond Compare I created some diff scripts.

Unlike SourceTree for Windows, SourceTree for Mac still doesn’t automagically detect Beyond Compare even though that has been available for Mac OS X since : [SRCTREE-2092] Add built-in support for Beyond Compare version 4 – Atlassian JIRA.
Even modifying my ~/.gitconfig didn’t work, but manual configuration did. Here are the steps:
- Start the UI version of Beyond Compare
- Select the Beyond Compare menu, install the command-line tools
