This time Microsoft TechED 2009 Europe will take place in Berlin, Germany. It is not as warm and cosy as in Barcelona at this time of the year but still it is an amazing place to be! So this year I attend the Event again in the role of "Ask the Experts" :) Microsoft says there will be 6800 people attending which is about 1800 people more then in Barcelona last year. Having a quick look at the sessions I found some interesting sessions I plan to attend

| XenServer + Windows 7 = xennet6.sys Bluescreen | |
| By Alex Juschin Account onTuesday, September 08, 2009 | |
| When you install Windows 7 (in my case 32bit) on XenServer 5.5 and then install XenServer tools on the Windows 7 you might get for what ever reason the Bluescreen 0x00F7DEAD (0x8E71E958, 0x0000015D, 0x00000000,0x00000000) xennet6.sys - address 8e71e958 base at 8e716000, DateStamp 4a083020 with the reason of it xennet6.sys. To fix it just add those two values to your registry: First find: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters Then add two value DWORD32 DisableLargeSendOffload and put the 1 value to it as well DisableTaskOffload and also add 1 to it |  | | Comments (0) | More... |

| XenServer 5.5 Installation on a knee made "Server" | |
| By Alex Juschin Account onTuesday, August 11, 2009 | |
| It is so great when you have a nice HP Server, which is in every HCL of every Software Vendor - from Linux to Windows. But if that is not the case and you want to build a small lab at home or in the garage you might want to decide to build a " Server" on your knees. And while an installation in a data centers on those fine HP DL 380 or BL blades never have got me any troubles this time I faced many of them! So the setup:
Motherboard: MB ASUS M3N78-VM NF8200 AM2 FSB 5200MHz PCIe mATX Memory: DDR2 2x2048MB Kit Kingston HyperX 1066MHz CL5 CPU: CPU AMD Phenom X4 9650 2,30GHz AM2+ 4MB 95W Hard Drive: SATA 320GB WD CD-ROM: some old IDE CD-ROM
So, with brand name components like this you would think of some HW incompatibility as the last option. Not the case with XenServer 5.5 Installation. Besides the HCL list of XenServer can be found here:

After burning the CD which I downloaded from Citrix:

with a good Plextor DVD Writer I put the DVD into the IDE Drive and started my knee build Server. The first error I got couple of times was KERNEL PANIC - the ... |  | | Comments (0) | More... |

| Microsoft MSDN, Technet and Terminal Services CAL's / TS CAL | |
| By Alex Juschin Account onSaturday, July 18, 2009 | |
| ------------- MSDN --------------------------
If you are one of the lucky owners of Microsoft MSDN subscribtion and you are working on something which imply testing Terminal Services application mode you might wonder whether or not you can get TS CAL's as part of your MSDN subscribtion. Indeed you can, just follow this simple guidline: 1) Install Windows 2008 or R2 or 2003 or even 2000 (with MSDN key to avoid death after 180 Days) 2) Activate W2008 (you will have to do that once in awhile since MSDN keys need to be reactivated once in a while) 3) Install Roles, TS inclusive 4) Call Microsoft Clearance house (a.k.a when you are in License Server - add TS CAL - activate by Phone - call Clearance house) 5) State your MSDN subscribtion number and what ever information they will ask 6) Request the type of TS CAL you need (W2000, 2003 or 2008) 7) enter the code stated by MS employee
Thats it. So as a valid MSDN subscriber you can call MS Clearance house and request TS CAL for developer purposes and only for them. According to the License agreement you are not allowed to use it in production.

| Windows 7 Beta 7000, 7057, 7077 unblock trick to upgrade to Release Candidate 1 (RC 1) | |
| By Alex Juschin Account onMonday, May 04, 2009 | |
| I guess many of you have already downloaded the new Windows 7 RC (Release Candidate) and it might be that you, just like me, have already installed previous versions of Windows 7 Beta (just go to Start -> Run.. -> winver , to see your build version) - like 7000, 7057 or 7077 or alike downloaded from Technet or MSDN or from Microsoft Connect website. The previous Beta's worked stable so you might have installed a lot of applications on it which you, just like me, don't want to reinstall. However one of the requirments of installation of Release Candidate is:
