In vSphere 7.0 Update 2, an enhancement was made to the Virtual Machine’s UEFI firmware called VirtualEFI that would enable ESXi to run in a VM (Nested ESXi) and perform an HTTP Boot given the ESXi bootloader URL without requiring any traditional PXE infrastructure. This was especially useful […]

I have a VM that I use for testing that has TinyLinux installed on it. It works great, but when I typed in ‘su’ it would ask me for a password which i didn’t set.
After doing some hunting, I found out that typing ‘sudo su’ in terminal window gets you root access. From what a co-worker told me, this is an old school function that is rarely/never used.
If you are receiving the error: :”scp: command not found” in your bash terminal, please ensure that you’ve run:
yum -y install openssh-server openssh-clients
This will install the openssh client tools including scp.
In order to speed up the search process, the search indexing service scans through the files and folders on the Windows system and records information about them in an index file. But it also consumes some resources of the system, so for the users with a slow computer it is beneficial to turn off search indexing. Go through the following simple steps to disable search indexing.
First of all click Start, type services.msc and press Enter.
This will open Services dialogue box.
Now locate the Windows Search service in the list of services, right click it and choose Properties.
In the startup type drop down box, choose the Disabled option.
Click the Apply button, reboot your computer and that’s it, Search Indexing has been disabled. Enjoy!
