Hyper-V configuration

After installing an External Network switch on Hyper-V for Win 8 64bit, the virtual switch did not display any connectivity in the Network Connections tab in Control Panel.

For some reason, you need to disable, then enable the virtual switch, in order for the changes to take place.

I also ran into a weird issue getting a Cisco VPN client to work through the virtual switch – need to configure the vpn client to “Allow Local LAN access” under the Transport tab

How to disable the Windows 8 lock screen

Hit the Start key, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter. This will open the Local Group Policy Editor.

Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization

Double click “Do not display the lock screen,” and select Enabled from the dialog that pops up. Click OK.

The Prophet

Mid-tier author in this genre. Pretty weak ending, but a decent read overall.
