Windows Server 2012: Why cant I install Windows Server 2012 RTM on a Virtual Box?

I encountered this problem today while setting up a SharePoint 2013 Development environment.

The solution is to run a simple command:

"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage" setextradata [vmname] VBoxInternal/CPUM/CMPXCHG16B 1

For example, my Virtual Box was called SP2013, so my command was:

"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage" setextradata SP2013 VBoxInternal/CPUM/CMPXCHG16B 1

SharePoint 2013: Error updating managed account credentials

I encountered the following message when trying to change a password for a managed account: Error deploying administration application pool credentials. Another deployment may be active. 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.
