PS3 and Windows Media Player 11 Streaming

I was having issues where my PS3 was not seeing my Desktop Media stores. I had turned sharing on but was still not able to see it. It saw my laptop just fine so I knew the problem was w/ my desktop. I started scouring the web looking for ways to fix it, needless to say, I came up empty handed. I started looking through my system log and found that my "Windows Media Network Sharing Service" was not creating the share because my DRM was corrupt. Since I did not have any DRM media I was not concerned on losing it so I started searching on how to fix it. Here is what I came across. Hope this helps some of you out there. (I tried posting this to the playstation forums, but either the site was having issues or my computer was)
Just follow the procedures listed on this site:

If you were like me and don't have any DRM protected stuff (Windows XP SP2), just do this:
  1. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users
  2. Go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Select "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)".
  3. In C:\Documents and Settings\All Users you should see a folder named "DRM"
  4. Rename DRM to DRMBackup or delete if if you don't care.
  5. Then visit this website: http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp
  6. The site above will repair your DRM instance, then unshare and share your media.

NSX-T: Release associated invalid node ID from certificate

Image
Summary: Basically had an expiring certificate registered in NSX-T that was associated to a node_id that is no longer valid.  Long story short, there wasn't anything obvious in API to delete or disassociate a certificate from a node_id for 3.2.2.  Not sure how things got in this state, but annotating for future reference.  This may change in future revisions, so always check API for latest. Details: Effectively had a stale node associated w/ a certificate that was expiring.  Could not delete certificate until that node was disassociated from the certificate. To get certificate details and associated node_id's, you can use the following curl call (UI works too): curl -k -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -u admin https://<manager ip>/api/v1/trust-management/certificates/<cert UUID> Above will return something like this: Below must be run from one of the manager nodes via elevation to root: ONLY RUN THIS IF YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF WHAT YOU ARE DO...

VMware | AVS: Content Library or Non vCenter objects on VSAN produces unassociated but valid objects

Image
Summary: Creating or Subscribing to a Content Library on vSAN is typical practice, but the annoying side effect?  Objects created on vSAN datastore that show up as "unassociated" objects and guess what, they simply inherit the Cluster's default VSAN policy at time of import.  Yeah, dumb right?  Also, by vSAN Operations Guide Standards section 6721 subsection 4 , you shouldn't do this. So then what? In Azure VMware Solution(AVS) , you have a couple of options.  You can do what the operations guide tells you that you shouldn't do or you can do something better.  Regardless of these options, the one thing you should do, is create a global content library.   Create Global Content Library:  here are instructions to create one on an Azure blob store. You should do this, makes life easier if you can. Also a fun little experiment to play w/ Azure Functions Centralized Storage of your ISO/OVF's etc. Attach external storage (Not necessary, but I'll explain ...

Misc: Navien NPE-240A Navilink App missing scheduling function

Image
NPE-240A Summary: Just had a new tankless water heater installed in my house to replace a failing 22 year-old 50 gallon tank.  Couldn't be happier w/ my new tankless, but was dealing with weirdness on the Navilink app to control/view my new Navien .  The app's scheduling function (for the recirculation pump) was missing. Solution: NR-20DU Disconnect NR-20DU remote controller. (if you want to schedule via App) *DIP Switches need to be set properly as well. In my case, w/ a bridge valve in my furthest faucet, is considered "External Recirculation". Check w/ your plumber for proper settings, they set mine properly. If you are in the Atlanta area, I highly recommend Plumbing Express LLC . Ask for Jonathan DeWeese. For reference only, these were set correctly by my plumber for my setup. DIP Switch 1 Off, 2 On.  (Internal Recirculation would be the opposite) Parameter 18 set to On (This is to enable Navilink ) These settings are detailed out in t...
