This is useful if using remote shell to do things. I used this when I migrated from RemoteUtilities (great software, but I can’t seem to find a cheap host for a Windows OS, MeshCentral only requires a small Linux server) to MeshCentral. I was able to use the remote shell through SentinelOne to do this. SentinelOne is by far the best NextGenAV out there. If remote shell uses CMD we’re going to want to open/start powershell

Since Windows 10 has been released there’s no easy way to skip/hide updates you don’t want installed. In Windows 7 it was super easy. I finaly found a way to skip/hide them. You have to download a troubleshooter from Microsoft. HERE is the link. HERE is a direct link, not sure if it changes, but this was used 20200630. I also have a copy HERE.

I noticed an issue where after updating Windows 10 2004 with KB4557957 some printers were no longer working. BetaNews did a good writeup HERE about the issue. Microsoft released a couple off-schedule patches to fix it. HERE is the BetaNews article about it. In short here are the links for the fix’s with the correct Windows 10 version. Windows 10, version 1909 (KB4567512) Windows 10, version 1903 (KB4567512) Windows 10, version 1809 (KB4567513)

I just learned that you can remote control terminal sessions. They call it shadowing. I’ve only done it on Windows Server 2012 r2, but was super easy. You just need to open server manager, go to remote desktop services, then collections, then QuickSessionsCollections. Then you’ll see the connections in the upper right hand corner. Once you find the one you want you right click on the session and hit Shadow. By default this will ask the user to allow, if you want to override that and allows allow you can do the following group policy change.

I noticed that when trying to mount NFS upon boot it wasn’t working. After it was booted up I could run “mount -a” and everything would come up. After some googling I learned you can add “_netdev” to the mount options in /etc/fstab and it works great. I’ve tested this on Debian and CentOS

I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS I JUST FOUND IT AND PUT IT ON MY SITE. IT WAS ON A SITE CALLED cowgod.net, BUT THE SITE NO LONGER EXISTS :-( Install Need for Speed Underground and Most Wanted together If you own both Need for Speed Underground and Need for Speed Most Wanted, you’ve inevitably tried to install them together. The first game will install and play flawlessly, however, something strange happens when you run autoplay on the second game.

How I installed KodExplorer. This is running on Debian 8.1. Things might be different on whatever OS/Version you’re running. I am by no means a pro. This is pieced together from everything I’ve learned. You first have to install nginx and php apt install ngnix php5-fpm git if it’s a newer version of debian or ubuntu you might have to run apt install php7-fpm mkdir -p /etc/nginx/ssl/site.com cd /etc/nginx/ssl/site.com Fill out the info the next step asks.
