Same code – different output. ISE vs PS Console and VSCode.

Hey Guys,

Help needed here… I was just finishing another function for UK Power Cuts (still dirty as pile of dung I know, but works :P) while I noticed something weird.

Scottish and Southern have power cuts info in Javascript generated tables, the thing is, each position might be slightly different / have different fields – for instance one position will not have information about estimated time Engineer will be on place.

Let me show you what I mean on the, picture as we all know it is worth a thousand words:

PowerShell Conference EU 2017. Not just about coding.

5th of May, cloudy afternoon in Hanover city. We are heading towards a car parked on the side road, the driver is waving to us from far away and we respond with the same.

There are three of us, with rather heavy breath, without jokes as usually we get in the car firstly leaving our luggage in the trunk. Faces are smiling, but it is kind of smile that you can interpret more like powerless acceptance of fate… Sitting on the back seat, whilst one side on me was really sad and flooded in despair, the second one was thinking about lovely wife and sweet 1 year old son. Not seeing them just for 4 days was really sad experience as for me they are whole world. So it happened… we were on our way back,  left Hannover, already cutting the highway with KIA for around 20 minutes like a really sharp knife cuts butter. I was looking through the window and hundreds of images were going around my head, my eyes stuck in one point whilst being gently swaying on the German highway. All of a sudden my right hand became a focal point for my vision…

And it took my pupils exactly 1 second to double the size, I stopped my eyes on one point and screamed:

HOLY CRAP GUYS!!!...

Search Power Cuts In The UK Using PowerShell!

So recently I’ve met this problem that we lost power in one of our offices in the UK, however we didn’t know the reason – might have been UPS malfunction, some bypass troubles, etc. Finally we identified there was a power cut by calling local users.

To make similar problem identification more swift and robust (basically to include that in our IT infrastructure monitoring solution) I’m preparing (still under development ^^) a module that might help in identification if there is a power cut for certain post code.

Windows Server 2013 SP2 / R2 SP2

Late evening, kid is sleeping, ready to gain some knowledge from Safari Books.

Oh boy, oh boy! Gonna learn new stuff about Hyper-V 2016 today…

Well , apparently I was missing some fundamental IT knowledge.

[WTF?] VMware ESXi 6.5 – “Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password”

Hi Chappies,

Just few momenst ago I had a really dodgy issue with loggin to newly installed ESXi6.5.

I deployed it few days ago, after instalation I logged in by copying password to the VMware console from KeePass application – logged in to that box, configured SSH connectivity and done some additinal configuration. After that connected via PuTTY as well.

Today my colleague just came from holidays and tried to log in – he got following error:

I thought that he we have some sort of different KeePass DB versions – but no.

I was not able to log in either! So I tried not to copy, but instead to type the password in the form field – same failure.

So, I went to the server room, and tried to log in directly to ESXi using KVM – and guess what? 🙂 All went well! So I came back to my desk, tried to log in by copy/paste credentials from KeePass – instant success!

The question that still remains in my head – and I hope VMware or someone from community might answer one day – is:

Anyone able to help in resolving the “(ES)X Files” riddle?
