This only applies to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

With Windows 7, you can use the bcdedit tool to boot into vhd files. This is really cool and useful if you, like me work as a Developer or if you are a IT professional responsible for testing new technology.

I have been using Windows 7 for some time now, and today, it will go RTM to all Microsoft ISV's, me included. Finally a OS that can replace Windows XP, and let's not even talk about Windows Vista.

It seems like it's lots of people are writing reviews, tests and performance benchmarks for the Windows 7 BETA, but is it as good as people seems to think?

If you are having problems running the boot camp installer in Windows 7 RC1 x64 edition or any other Windows 7 release, x32 or x64 thees Tips & Trix might help you get all the drivers installed.

OK, we have probably got this error once or twice. “The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections. The system cannot log you on. Please try again or consult your system administrator”.

So, can we get around this without trying to contact or go to the other computers that actually is logged in to the server? Well of course. Open a Command window and enter the following information.

mstsc /admin /console /v:[HOST_NAME]
This command will make sure you get logged in to the server and you can from there, remote log out logged in users.

OK, we had some problems using a SSH tunnel via localhost on Windows 7 today. It seems that the problem lies within the RDC client validating the address on witch it connects to.

Even that we use another port, the client will complain about a session already running when connecting to localhost:[PORT NUMBER].

The simple solution, replace localhost or 127.0.0.1 with 127.0.0.2:[PORT NUMBER]
