Hello, I recently encountered a situation where I had a dedicated server with Hyper-V installed. The provider assigns a single public IP to the server. I was approached with a question: How can we enable internet access on virtual machines created on this server without purchasing additional addresses?

In platforms like VirtualBox, this is usually resolved by connecting the virtual machine to a NAT network type. But what about Hyper-V, which doesn't allow you to connect a virtual switch to a NAT network? The solution is straightforward: connect the switch to an internal network and NAT the traffic through the physical port. This isn't as complicated as it might seem.

Below, I'll guide you on how to set up NAT on Windows Server 2016 using PowerShell. Additionally, I'll discuss setting up NAT on older versions of Windows OS using RRAS (and by the way, NAT can also be configured on Windows Server 2016 via RRAS).

In organizations that utilize computers for purposes such as video surveillance, monitoring, or kiosks, having an automatic login system in place can be highly convenient. I've previously discussed how to enable automatic login on a home computer, but the process differs for domain-connected machines. However, it's important to note a security consideration: the user's password will be stored in plain text in the Windows registry.

If your computer or server on Windows OS has a high load because of some process, and you want to know what exactly that process is doing on your system. Or if you are just want to know what that or other programm is doing then Process Monitor utility may be very usefull for you.

If you often deploy virtual machines with Windows OS, then most likely it takes you a very long time to download, install updates, install a minimal set of software. Below I will show how you can prepare a system image using the sysprep utility, so that you will have a virtual disk that you just need to copy, connect it to a new virtual machine and you will get a completely ready-to-use virtual machine.

There are situations, when you need to view/end processes in command prompt. It may be needed if you control computer remotely via command prompt, or if computer is under high load, and it is almost impossible to start task manager. Also sometimes process does not stops if you try to end it from task manager. In those cases the way of controll processes though command prompt may be very usefull for you. Today I'll tell you about that way.

When you reinstall operating system, usually there is too much time needed to find, download and install drivers, and in some cases (for example if you reinstall windows on chineese tablet) search task of all needed drivers may become impossible. On Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 you can create a backup of all thirs party drivers with a single PowerShell command.

Sometime there are situations when you need to enter BIOS, for example to change boot order of devices, for OS reinstall, or for loading some utilities from bootable media. And you cannot enter to the BIOS with simple key press on keyboard, for example that can happen if you have enabled fast boot in BIOS settings, or if you need to enter BIOS on tablet.

Today I will show you how to enter to UEFI BIOS from the Windows 10 operating system. Also that procedure should work on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
