ASP.NET, C#, HTML, CSS, IIS Server, SQL Server, Server 2012 Scary???  No it's not! Let's automate! At my current consumer we are struggling how we can handle requests from the business. These are, at the time of writing this article being handled by using an Excel sheet. When I started working for this company, I thought as an IT professional: "This can be done differently". In this article I try to describe the steps I have taken to set up a MVP (Minimum Viable Product) from scratch using ASP.NET, IIS8 and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP4-GDR). If you wonder why we are all using Microsoft Products let's say I am working in a Microsoft based section of the company. My goal to write this blog is not to show you how you can code or how you should develop your weblication :). The goal is to guide you through the steps I've taken to reach my goal and review the process towards it. The result of the application development can be seen in the imag...

First of all, I have to credit the original author of the script which is sk1080 for his amazing work. Unfortunately on his github there is no full tutorial on how to use his work so I decided to write a full tutorial. Quote from github: "So, the story so far: You have a VM that uses a passed-through NVIDIA graphics card However, the driver errored out with code 43, or outright blue-screened your VM This is because NVIDIA "Introduced a Bug" making their driver "Fail" on "Unsupported configurations", such as having a geforce, by "accidentally" detecting the presence of a hypervisor". Of course we all know this is not a bug if it's this simple to solve, probably Nvidia is just disabling this feature to sell more high end graphic card with support for virtualization. If you want to use your Nvidia graphics card, you first need to insert the card in your host when it's powered off and unplugged from the mains. A...

The reason to install Hyper-V on multiple servers in my cluster is to get familiar with the Hyper-V (Virtual Machine) Cluster server role for exam 70-412. Unfortunately Microsoft doesn't like the fact that i'm trying to install Hyper-V in a virtual envoirement. Because the installation of Hyper-V will check if you are running in a virtualizes environment you have to perform a little trick so the virtual machine doesn’t know it is being virtualized. The easiest way to do this is to power down the virtual machine and enable SSH on the host where the Virtual Machine is running on. You can achieve this by using the web interface which in my case is on  https://192.168.2.5/ui/#/login After this you need to navigate to Host -> Manage -> Services and enable TSM and TSM-SSH, do not forget to turn this of when you're done for security reasons. After you enabled SSH you can use Putty to connect to the server through the ip adress which is: 19...
