How do I enable my clipboard when I remote into a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM?

Not being able to cut and paste between a host PC and a VM is more than a little irritating. The problem is a group policy that, by default, disables this functionality. To enable it.

1. Edit the VMs Group Policy



2. Set the 'Do Not Allow Clipboard Redirection' to Disabled


3. Reboot the machine for the changes to take effect.

SharePoint 2013: Error updating managed account credentials

An object of the type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAdminAppPoolCredentialDeploymentJobDefinition named "job-admin-apppool-change" already exists under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerService named "SPTimerV4".  Rename your object or delete the existing object. The error message is self explanatory - Rename your object or delete the existing object.  I choose the latter. Powershell to the rescue. $job = Get-SPTimerJob -Identity "job-admin-apppool-change" $job.Delete() Reset the password and all should be good.
