I am a big fan of Rohitab API Monitor. When Procmon cannot pull the details I am looking for, I resort to Rohitab API Monitor. In fact, I've used Rohitab API Monitor to figure out why procmon would not load! The coolest new feature in the latest version is saving traces.

Although this is the previous version, the major kernel changes that were done for Server 2008 / Vista are the same as Server 2008 R2 / Windows 7 - so it is still a solid reference.

Are you moving your many packages to the SCCM 2012 Application Catalog? It can be a challenge getting the icons out of those huge MSI packages if you don’t want to install each one! Not any more…

"Silver Bullet" status is high praise - I'm slow to give it. However, when I am most tempted, the item has the quality of unveiling something that has formerly been invisible by virtue of it's universal acceptance. There is something that may be invisible to you now that could have a dramatic effect on your career satisfaction and the rest of your life as well. That something is...

Most scripters I know are code sample junkies – the learn by hacking away at existing scripts on the web and one’s they have collected. Recently I’ve been on the hunt for a easier way to store, search and find code snippets. I found a lot of stuff, but nothing that satisfied. As I was searching I realized by configuring three different areas of Windows, I could have a pretty nice snippet manager right in Windows Explorer. Some of these changes you will want to make even if you don’t actively manage snippets!

The Windows 8 Metro App delivery and installation mechanism has a lot of new plumbing! When you experience a problem, it is a big challenge to figure out everywhere you might look to solve the problem. I am a big proponent of gathering existing logging data whenever I start to work on a problem - mainly because the data is there for zero effort! Sure I can slap on procmon and dig deep, but what if a single eventlog message is nailing the problem in a small clear voice?

Just like Microsoft, our strong advice on what edition of Office 2010 to run is "32-bit"! The simple reason is that vast majority of the thousands of MS Office plug-ins are only available in 32-bit versions and probably will be for some time to come. On top of this reason is the need to evaluate all your VBA code to see if it needs some minor modifications to run on 64-bit. If you are planning on running 64-bit office, read on for links to help you ensure the compatibility of your existing VBA code (whether written by you or part of a third-party plug-in).

So you are preparing your first Windows 64-bit image or just dutifully customizing your own machine. You copy your traditional set of DLLs to the System32 folder and execute regsrv32.exe against them. To your horror you receive the error “RegSvr32 The module some.dll failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. The specified module could not be found.” Has your machine gone insane? The file is plainly there in the System32 folder. Let’s put it under the microscope.

If you visit the MSI SDK page, there is no “What’s New” section beyond version 5 which was released with Windows 7, so obviously there is nothing new in Windows Installer for Windows 8, right? Nothing new for .MSI packages that is. It has recently come to light in our labs that Windows Installer is secretly doing double duty to process the new Appx packages which are responsible for installing Windows 8 Metro WinRT Store Apps. Why do I say “secretly”?

A while back I went to a Micrsoft Windows 8 developer event to learn the structure of Windows 8 Metro Apps. During the install fest everyone could have assistance installing Windows 8 and Visual Studio. For professional developers who don't usually have to start building their dev machine by loading an operating system, this was a huge help. However, I was surprised to watch as the install fest tech led them through creating a physical partition for Windows 8, or if you really wanted it, he would help you configure a virtual machine. There is a 3rd very compelling option and my guess is a lot of Administrators and Developers are not aware of the benefits - in fact is has all the key benefits of both of the other methods wrapped into one. So let's talk about the benefits and give you some pointers on some how to articles.

We've recently updated some of our training content to include Windows 8. I want to share a little background on those changes and how they might be helpful to your own career planning if you're involved in application deployment or support. I also wish to outline why the consumerization of IT must be driven from the outside IN, not from the inside OUT.
