Dual Monitor RDP 6.0

In the command prompt type:

mstsc /span

This will open up the rdp connection wizard, and connect as normal, but now rdp will spread over your 2 screens!

The catch:

1) Both monitors need to be running exactly the same resolution
2) Both monitors need to be set up level

Edit NTUSER.DAT file

Open regedit

Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

File > Open Hive

And select the .dat file

Type a suitable name and edit away!

VZVolumeMount Parallels Virtuozzo Error

I was encountering an error:

C:/vzctl start Starting VPS ...


Virtuozzo API function call 'VZVolumeMount' failed err = 183Virtuozzo API function call 'dq_mount' failed

Cannot set disk quota for VPS This happened to be the service container bringing the entire node down... This error occurs whern vzagent cannot calculate the size of the .edf file and/or the quota for the container.
 
To fix this, manually set the quoaa on the container in question:
 
vzquota setlimit [ct id] -B -–drive C:
 
This sets the ct quota manually, and with:
 
vzctl start --skiplock
 
Should start the container sucessfully.

CMD

net stop sharedaccess
net stop policy agent


vzsveinstall -s [ip address of service container] -w -f

Within the concole it will provide a step by step menu of commands
