In a recent post I described how I used Powershell to configure a dual-homed Radius server where I wanted to firewall everything on the DMZ interface but not affect the production interface. I did this using a Windows feature known as NLA – Network Location Awareness – which has been around in one form or…
Recently I built an NPS server for Radius authentication, and had to dual home it with one NIC in the DMZ and one on the production network. I wanted to firewall everything on the DMZ interface but not affect the production interface. That way I could then allow the traffic I wanted to enable on…

Here’s a little script I created that was useful to check the amount of physical RAM installed on a Hyper-V server running core. It reports the amount of physical RAM in the host as well as the amount of RAM which is actually visible and addressable to the server. It also reports the RAM which…

I have read various suggestions on the web saying it’s better and more secure to leave the Hyper-V host in a workgroup, but the effort required when doing that just doesn’t make it worth it in my opinion.And we actually want…
