If you have RDP open, you will be hacked–close the door now!

August 19, 2017 by Wayne Small 2 Comments

March 4, 2017 by Wayne Small Leave a Comment

I was busy doing some testing with SBS 2008 recently and went to build a new VM from the ISO on my 2016 Hyper-V server.  It failed with an error of “Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer’s hardware”.  Interesting I thought, maybe it won’t run on my 2016 Hyper-V server, so I then went to build it on my 2012R2 Hyper-V Server and got the exact same … [Read more...]
