  • My git notes

    Been playing around with git to manage my “Environment”. This is a note to self. May add more at some point
    List files that have been “staged”
    • git diff –name-only –cached
    To create a “Centro repo”
    • To setup an empty central repo:
      • mkdir /your/path/folder/project.git
      • cd /your/path/folder/project.git
      • git init –bare –shared
    • To add files to the central repo:
      • Go to the existing file structure and setup a new git repo (if it is not there already)
      • cd your/local/workspace/project
      • git init
      • git add .
      • git commit -m “First Commit”
      • git remote add origin server.domain.com:/your/path/folder/project.git
      • git push origin master
    • If you make a change  in your local copy and you want to push it up to the Centro repo
      • git add .
      • git commit -m “This is what changed”
      • git push origin master
    • And to get those changes to other machines
      • git pull origin master
    • And to setup a new machine
      • git clone server.domain.com:/your/path/folder/project.git

    Got most of the info from here

  • Coolest thing I have found in server 2012 – Management OData IIS Extensions

    Am I interpreting Management OData IIS Extensions correctly? This means I can write an iOS app to run my custom enterprise PowerShell scripts?

    Now I can justify iOS dev training! Cool.

  • Run PowerShell as system

    .\psexec -i -s Powershell.exe

    Found this from here:

  • Sharepoint 2010 URL for a Calendar’s Week and Month Views

    This may be a post for myself, and everyone may already know this, but I couldn’t find it quickly in a google search. I wanted to have a link to the “Week” view of a SharePoint 2010 calendar, but could not find the parmters to pass. Here they are:

    ?CalendarPeriod=week
    ?CalendarPeriod=month
    ?CalendarPeriod=day

    And to have a specific day:

    ?CalendarDate=8/24/2012

  • A PowerPoint 2010 pptx file from a network share opens read-only

    Credit for this one goes to @xrobx99. He did all the work behind this post. I felt that it was such an obscure “bug”, that maybe my posting of the solution might help someone that is expereincing the same issue.

    The problem we were having was that when a user would open a large PowerPoint (.pptx) file from a network share,  it would always open as read-only. Looking like this :

    Now, if you try and search for PowerPoint 2010 and read-only, all I can say is, good luck. You quickly get lost in “your permissions are wrong” ,and “people telling you to right click and deselect Read-only”. We had been trough all of that, and we could not lick the problem.

    The symptoms we were experiencing were:

    • If a user double clicks on a large pptx in a network share through windows explorer, the file is opened read-only
    • If a user right clicks the file and selects open through windows explorer, the file opens correctly
    • If the file is opened either by “double click” or “right click open” on the local machine, the file opens correctly
    • If the file is opened either by “double click” or “right click open” in the PowerPoint file open dialog on either a network share or local machine, the file opens correctly

    The solution that @xrobx99 figured out is that if you disable the “Preview Pane” and the “Details Pane”, the file will open correctly every time. Of course you can disable these via group policy:

    User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Explorer/Explorer Frame Pane/Turn off Details Pane
And
User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Explorer/Explorer Frame Pane/Turn off Preview Pane

    @xrobx99 concluded that if you leave these two panes enabled, windows explorer will open the file to generate a tumbnail, and if you double click the file during that time, it will open read-only.

    Hope that helps some one.
