Something that has annoyed me with VMware when compared to Hyper-V is the fact that Hyper-V lets you paste into the VM console. By default VMware has that disabled but you can manually enable it. Doing that is kind of slow so I wrote a script with PowerCLI to enable copy paste on a VM.
With the release of geoSCOUT version 8.17 geoLOGIC upgraded the geoSCOUT launcher but only included an upgrade file that needs to be ran as admin on each system and under each user account. Which is annoying in company setups where users don’t have local admin. Technically speaking geoSCOUT still works even if you don’t run…
If you’ve installed Windows Admin Center (WAC) on a domain joined server and you connect to another domain joined system you’ll see a message similar to this. Having to login multiple times is annoying so here’s how to make the Single Sign On work with WAC using Kerberos constrained delegation.

Update The process detailed below has been deprecated by Microsoft. An updated version of this process is detailed in my post called Swap Microsoft 365 Licenses with Microsoft Graph. I needed to remove some expired Office 365 licences that were expired to the point where I couldn’t do it via the admin interface so I…
Recently I needed to find all files and folders containing two spaces, normally I would use something like a file renamer but in this case for various reasons I just needed to generate a list. Eventually I ended up figuring out a PowerShell command to do it. Here’s the code I used to do it…
