| I switched to Foobar recently. It is an awesome media player, but I noticed that for some files (like mp3s) the Enqueue in Foobar option was not present in the right-click context menu. If Foobar was set as the default program, Play in foobar showed up, but the enqueue option still remained missing. |  |
| Yesterday I’ve installed Microsoft (TFS) Team Foundation Server 2010 and today I’m struggling with the configuration. My team wants to access the TFS / Source Control Safe using internal but also external host names. So, how to accomplish the right configuration? Good question. To save your time i thought I’ll blog about my journey .. |  |
| Okay, today i installed Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010. At the end of the Setup, i had a warning regarding the configuration of the IIS Web Server Part.

It seems it’s not clear for everyone. When you download a compiled HTML Help file from the internet, the file get’s tagged as insecure. Now when you open the file, the content get’s block unless you remove the lock..

To unlock the the file, just right-click it in explorer and chose properties. Under Genereal you’ll find an unlock button
that’s it. Now you can open the and read the file as usual..
Remote Access Without Admin Privileges
In PowerShell v.2, remote access is available only to users who hold local administrator privileges. So, even if you do have appropriate remote access to a machine, , you cannot remotely access the system if you are not an Admin. This is not a technical limitation, though, just a safe default. You should use this line to change it :
Set-PSSessionConfiguration -Name Microsoft.PowerShell -showSecurityDescriptorUI
Out-GridView Dirty Tricks
Out-Gridview is a new cmdlet in PowerShell v.2 which allows you to output objects to a “mini” excel sheet like this:
Get-Process | Out-GridView
However, this only works if .NET Framework 3.51 is installed. While PowerShell requires just .NET 2.0, both Out-GridView and ISE-Editor require 3.51 because of their WPF graphical output.
Out-Gridview will display the same columns you would have seen when you output the objects to the console. You should clone the object first to see all object properties in your gridview:
Get-Process | Select-Object * | Out-Gridview
Thanks to Get-Date, you can easily create unique temporary file names with a timestamp:
(Get-Date -format ‘yyyy-MM-dd hh-mm-ss’) + ‘.tmp’
Generate PC Lists
One easy way of creating lists of PC names or IP address ranges etc is a simple pipeline like this:
1..40 | Foreach-Object { ‘PC-W7-A{0:000}’ -f $_ }
Use the -f operator to format the number. In this example, it will always be three-digit.
You can use Sort-Object to sort simple variable types. Have a look at the following:
‘Tom’, ‘Chris’, ‘Judy’, ‘Alan’ | Sort-Object
Input can come from a different command. If you’d like to get seven random lottery numbers, you should try this:
1..49 | Get-Random -Count 7 | Sort-Object
You’ll find that when you feed complex objects into Sort-Object, you should specify the object property you want to sort on (or else Sort-Object will pick one by itself):
Get-ChildItem $env:windir | Sort-Object Length
Here are some more examples:
Get-HotFix | Sort-Object InstalledOn
Get-ComputerRestorePoint | Sort-Object Description
