If it doesn’t go through the update and get stuck ( my case it was 30% ) then error out. HP 8100 / 8200

If there is no programs to uninstall, then rename folder

Ran into this issue today –

First,  I tried :

Search for and open “Activity Monitor” then close all of the Adobe applications in Activity Monitor.

Search for and open “Finder” , click on Go tab and select > Go to Folder.

 

Location 1: In the box type ~/Library/Application Support.

Location 2: In the box type ~/Library/Preferences.

Location 3: Documents folder

Renamed the ‘Adobe‘ folders to ‘OldAdobe‘

 

Launch Premiere Pro, accept the License Agreement and see if it works.

Note: You will lose your customized workspaces and keyboard shortcuts.

 

This didn’t work for me 🙁 but doing the following did 🙂

 

Open finder > Go tab > Go to Folder

Type “~/Library” and click Go.

Go to /Library/Caches/Adobe/Premiere Pro/12.0

Delete the “Typesupport” folder

 

Then Premiere opened and stayed open and loaded.

 

Press “Windows Key + R to open the run dialogue box,

Type“diskpart” and double click “Diskpart – run command” to open a command prompt window.

 

Type “list disk” > Enter

“select disk n” ( where n = disk number ) > Enter

Type “list partition” to display all the volumes on the hard drive.

Type “select partition n” ( n stands for the volume ).

Type “delete partition override” to remove the EFI partition.

Type “exit” to close the diskpart window

 

Came across issue – cant find “Server backup” via GUI – need to grab a copy of the system state file just in case.

 

Install Windows Server Backup using Powershell:

1.      The first line “get-windowsfeature *backup*” is in order to figure out the name of the backup feature to install.

2. Import Server-Manager

3. Add-WindowsFeature Windows-Server-Backup

4.      Powershell output:

 

Sometimes angry IP scanner doesn’t play well.

I use GFI Languard Network Scanner

Note to self *works on Windows 10*

 

thank god for wayback machine

Pulled drive from SAN to reuse in Dell R720 ( 6 x 450 SAS > RAID 10 )

Add to Esx host – I get the following error

 

Notice how the “Next Button is greyed out”    

SSH into ESX Host;

ls /vmfs/devices/disks/ -all

 

Confirm Disk !!!!

Chart notes:

Number of Subnets – “( )” Refers to the number of effective subnets, since the use of subnet numbers of all 0s or all 1s is highly frowned upon and RFC non-compliant.
Number of Hosts – Refers to the number of effective hosts, excluding the network and broadcast address.

** note to self;  everyones on the latest and greatest **

This for my future reference, ie when I have to deal with apache based certs ( vs IIS )

Download and install windows port of OpenSSL here

** you will need to know your password if you password protect your cert **

Command to enter. 1st part ( extract the .key )

openssl
pkcs12 -in [yourfile.pfx] -nocerts -out [keyfile-encrypted.key]

eg

openssl pkcs12 -in d:\temp\star.name_of_cert_godaddy.pfx -nocerts -out d:\temp\star.name_of_cert_godaddy.key

** eg I have installed the openssl app in C, I have placed my temp cert in D:\temp

 

2nd part ( extract the .crt )

openssl
pkcs12 -in [yourfile.pfx] -clcerts -nokeys -out [certificate.crt]

eg

openssl pkcs12 -in d:\temp\star.name_of_cert_godaddy.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out d:\temp\star.name_of_cert_godaddy.crt

 

Sometimes you need unencrypted key files

openssl
rsa -in [keyfile-encrypted.key] -out [keyfile-decrypted.key]

eg

openssl rsa -in d:\temp\star.name_of_cert_godaddy.key -out d:\temp\star.name_of_cert_godaddy.nopass.key

 

If you need it in PEM format

openssl
rsa -in [keyfile-encrypted.key] -outform PEM -out [keyfile-encrypted-pem.key]

openssl rsa -in d:\temp\star.name_of_cert_godaddy.nopass.key -outform PEM -out d:\temp\star.name_of_cert_godaddy.nopass.pem.key

 

note self – no more searching internet, see your own notes.
