    Win10 HyperV - no networking till vSwitch disabled/enabled

    OK, so this has be stumped. I work with HyperV daily, but never seen this before. Win10 at home, did have Virtualbox on it, but moved to HyperV. Created my virtual switch and set it to share networking with the host - but every time I boot, I have no networking until I disable/re-enable the...

    Automated remote desktop session time limit

    Another way to do it - if some trappable event happens when the user gets booted off at 2hrs (event log?), then set a powershell script to attach to that event and change the password.

    Directory is invalid VB.net

    If you're going to insist on hard-coding credentials, at least take a look at http://www.robotronic.de/runasspcEn.html Still a bad idea tho... Also, worried as to why you're trying to start what's a locally copied chrome.exe via UNC C$?

    Lan IP Triggered By Email

    You need to explain what your email architecture is. For example, if you have an Exchange server, then a simple powershell or dotnet app to check mail would be easy enough. Both could call the resultant service as well.

    Yeah, I'm noticing that - if you open them in Message Analyzer and enable the SMB2 view, you can see pretty spectacularly the time difference for the sections. It looks like SMB pipelining is happening, but the window size seems to be the big factor. Bytes-in-flight is quite a difference too..

    Slow send to server... receive = fine

    Now, there's an idea... I have a USB3 stick for transferring files about, I'll give that a try tonight. Cheers! USB works, I have transferred files about on it - but whether it works right/optimal is another matter. I didn't notice the speed last time.
