I recently had an issue where an iSCSI volume, formatted in NTFS spat its permissions. We all know the built-in UI for applying permissions is garbage, and as such I used this powershell script to grab each folder, and create a new process per folder, which then recursively applied new permissions. The reason why jobs…
I recently bought a bunch of WD Elements 8TB drives so I can rip the drives out and use them in my home server. Doing this for large capacity drives is typically far cheaper than buying the drives alone. Due to the high capacities, these drives are typically NAS or Datacentre level drives, which for…
You know what I really hate? When I tell Windows to delete something and bloody TrustedInstaller gets all high and mighty and says “no”… So I then go and take ownership of the file, strip all the permissions off it, and then try to delete it, and then says “Sorry, you need permission from Markus…

Here’s a trick I used to make my Macrium Reflect boot USB auto-map network drives so that I’d no longer have to manually map them every time I booted it up, but this trick will work for other WinPE setups too, I presume. Firstly, you’ll need the Windows 10 ADK installedSecondly, you’ll need your WinPE…
This command is known (By at least one person) as “The best command out there for network mapping”, as it tells you what port things are plugged into, and the next hop and IP address of that thing. In the case of both brands, you must be in ‘enabled’ mode first using en, and then…
As per my own experience with this very website, I had the issue where after enabling SSL, my permalinks stopped working. Turns out, the default ssl.conf site config file from Apache, had the <Directory /> settings set to not work with permalinks To fix this, edit your site’s config file:nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/yourwebsite.conf Ensure the following areas…
