If you want to find the MAC (hardware) address of your network card in Windows 11/10 or earlier versions of computers, here are the simple steps. You may require MAC (Media Access Control) address to troubleshoot the network issues or secure the network access by using the MAC address filter. For example, you can allow only specific MAC addresses on your home or office Wi-Fi network to access the internet. Let me show you how to find the MAC address on the local and remote computer by using the command prompt. We can easily find someone’s computer (assuming it is…
Is there a way to use the software without installing it on your computer, how can I get software which doesn’t depend on specific hardware requirements or is there any software which doesn’t need to be set up on a network of computers in my office? These are some of the questions which come to mind when we think about the usefulness of portability and ease of access regarding software. There is only one answer to this and that is SaaS. What is SaaS? SaaS or Software as a Service is a cloud service where customers are able to access…
If you have a pre-configured VirtualBox VM with the XML file, you can easily add it to the VMs list in VirtualBox. Usually, when we create a new VM from the interface, it comes under the VMs list. But if you have virtual machines installed on a different host or from other versions of Windows OS on the same host, you can use the following method to import/add to the current list. In this small guide let me show how to import the VirtualBox XML files. You can avoid the creation of new VMs if you can import the existing…
‘img’ is one of the disk image file formats like ISO. It mostly contains the installation files of the Operating System or applications. Before Windows 8 OS, we must have a third-party software tool to open img/iso files. But as a new feature of the latest Windows operating systems, we can mount and open ISO files without any tools. IMG files are natively supported in the recent Windows Operating System. Windows 8.1 and 7 require a few additional steps to open IMG files that are mentioned in this guide. Here is a simple trick on how to open IMG files…
Mostly you will have 64-bit hardware and Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 OS on it. Some Windows 7 users also might have the 64-bit version yet. If you have a program/app that is 32-bit, how to install 32-bit on 64-bit Windows 7? Follow this simple guide. The truth is, the latest Windows 64-bit versions support 32-bit applications nicely without any issues provided by the compatibility of the program installation. You can install and use them. But remember, you can’t install the 64-bit Programs on 32-bit Operating System like Windows 7 32-bit. NOTE: Except if you use the ancient legacy applications…
Update: This method is still applicable for the latest Windows 2019/2022 Hyper-V servers if the physical network cards on the host do not support the VMQ feature. By default, once you install the Windows Hyper-V role on a server, the VMQ feature will be enabled. If the physical NIC does not support (it is a hardware feature) VMQ, then it is going to slow down the network inside the virtual machines. Microsoft says that there are particular NICs and manufacturers got affected by this feature. The Windows driver update could fix the issue, but if it doesn’t work, follow this…
Hybrid mailbox solutions are often a bit more difficult to manage than traditional on-premises Exchange versions. The best way is to stop using one once all of your email boxes have been transferred over the cloud version, but if you are going to use it for longer-term, better master your skills. In our Exchange hybrid environment, the emails started piling up in the“outbound to office 365’ queue. Usually, this is the queue that is in charge to send and receive emails between the hybrid and other hub transport local servers. Basically, it handles the mail communication between Office 365 and…
After installing Ubuntu (or any Linux flavours) on Windows host using VirtualBox, if you get an error “You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of sf shared folder name” while accessing the shared folders, let me show the steps to fix this error. I installed Ubuntu on Windows 10 by using Oracle VirtualBox. As usual, I attached a shared folder to the virtual machine from the host partition/folder. This makes the data transfer quicker between Linux virtual machine and Windows host computer. After attaching the shared folder and mounting it inside the Linux VM, when I…
