Introduction
UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. It runs on both Windows and Linux. You can either let UNetbootin download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file if you've already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn't on the list.

Extend'ing disks in WMware
http://www.penguinpunk.net/blog/?p=12
If you’re working in a VMware ESX environment, you should normally be able to use SAN-based disk expansion technologies, combined with diskpart in Windows, or vmkfstools in VMware ESX, to achieve the desired result.
In Windows, run the following commands to extend a basic volume:
diskpart
list volume
select volume x (where x is the number of the volume you wish to extend)
extend
exit
In VMware ESX, run the following command to extend a vmdk disk file:
vmkfstools -X 50G disk.vmdk
Note that the 50G value is the new size of the disk, not the extra space you require.
If you find yourself needing to extend a boot volume in Windows Server 2003, diskpart won’t be any help. Before you reach for the gparted ISO file, think about combining vmkfstools with another (test) Virtual Machine. Here are the required steps:
1. Backup your VM (VM1).
2. Shutdown VM1 and run vmkfstools against VM1’s disk file.
3. Attach the disk to a second guest (VM2).
4. Run diskpart on the volume (in this case it will probably be D: or something similar).
5. Once the volume is extended, shutdown VM2 and remove (but don’t delete) the disk from VM2’s config.
6. Attach the newly expanded volume to VM1.
7. Boot VM1.
8. Profit.
I hope that’s provided a starting point for further investigation into basic and dynamic disks. Remember, before converting every volume in sight to Dynamic, think very carefully about the ramifications of doing this.

SCOM 2007 R2 Scheduled maintenance mode
http://expit.com/documents/WhitePaper_SCOMMaintenanceMode.pdf
SCOM 2007 R2 comes with many customizable features and customization options. In most cases these customization are performed directly via the various SCOM interfaces, but some still require the creation of specialized components to fulfill the requirements. This document highlights one of those missing features which is the ability to schedule maintenance tasks across multiple system simultaneously. The solution presented here was developed in customized by Expit through field engagements with multiple SCOM customers.

Citrix - Problems with copy and paste between a local application and a session or between different applications in a session
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX106226
Users may experience a malfunctioning clipboard chain (when they cannot copy and paste anymore between a local application and a session or between different applications in a session). This occurs when a third-party program incorrectly inserts itself in the Windows clipboard chain on a local workstation or within a session.
The RepairCBDChain utility temporarily restores clipboard functionality. The order is restored by moving the ICA client to the beginning of the clipboard chain. If the offending application is launched after this repair utility has restored the clipboard order, the clipboard functionality may become corrupted again.
Download "Repair Clipboard Chain 2.0.1" here:
http://support.citrix.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/6978-102-640962/RepairCBDChain32.zip
Installing RepairCBDChain
Download the executable file to a local workstation and run it from a command prompt or from within a session.
How to Use RepairCBDChain
Run the RepairCBDChain utility on your workstation and/or inside the session desktop.
If it doesn’t repair the clipboard try repairing individual ICA sessions by specifying ICA session window title, for example:
C:\>RepairCBDChain.exe "Sent Items - Microsoft Outlook - \\Remote"
C:\>RepairCBDChain.exe "Weekly report - Message - \\Remote"
Note: If switch -gui is used as the last parameter then the message stating that clipboard functionality is repaired is not displayed; only the diagnostic message appears if there are any errors.
RepairCBDChain.exe [Title [Class]] [-gui]
The window title and class are optional. If you specify the title, but omit the class, the tool assumes that the window belongs to the ICA client.
Uninstalling RepairCBDChain
To uninstall this utility, delete the executable file.
