Nice IDP url for testing ADFS

Francesco Valerio — Wed, 23 Nov 2016 11:45:47 GMT

An easy way to verify if ADFS is working properly is the idpinitiatedsignon page:

https://sts.contoso.com/adfs/ls/idpinitiatedsignon.aspx

from which you can easily logon against the actual environment. Since Windows Server 2016 this is not enabled by default anymore. You can enable it:

Set-ADFSProperties -EnableIdpInitiatedSignon $True

and disable it back:

Set-ADFSProperties -EnableIdpInitiatedSignon $False

Dual Boot with NO Hyper-V

Francesco Valerio — Tue, 22 Nov 2016 18:16:09 GMT

The Nr.1 question people ask me on Hyper-V is "how do I make a dual boot with no Hyper-V?"

Open an elevated command prompt:

bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Boot with NO Hyper-V" The entry was successfully copied to {CopyTheFancyGUIDyouGet}. <- This is a GUID you have to copy and use in the next command)

bcdedit /set {CopyTheFancyGUIDyouGot} hypervisorlaunchtype off The operation completed successfully.
