I am working to create a cloud managed provisioning system to be used with a number of computers located on home networks. As part of this, I would really like to setup a PXE server on AWS that can be booted on demand if a computer goes down.
Does PXE booting only work from the local network, or is there some way to specify the location of the server (from the local home router)? I would like to avoid use of a VPN as network bandwidth is a concern for normal operation of the machines.
You can use iPXE to accomplish this by hard coding a URL to boot from. You'd likely have to chainload to do this which is well documented at the site.

My mom forgot her password, and she can’t log in to her laptop now. Is there a way for us to get our family pictures? That’s the only thing we really want to recover. I’m not a Windows user, so I’m clueless; any suggestions are more than welcome.
If the windows account is connected to a Microsoft account, the password can be reset through Microsoft directly (i.e outlook.com).
However, I am not aware of a simple way to reset the password of a local user on windows.
An alternative that may work would be to boot from a Linux live USB (DO NOT INSTALL from the USB) and access the files on the disks from there.

I have a Windows VM in my Azure account. It was working fine until I changed its size to increase resources / disk size. After the update VM stopped working. I am unable to access VM with RDP or FTP etc.
I have tried restarting VM but still same. Any clue how to fix this?
After several tried, I used Reset Remote Access option. This seems to have made the VM accessible again. But unfortunately it has changed VM Ip address too.

In Windows 7, I'm using a proxy server to browse the internet. It just routes http packets. I need to keep the Windows time accurate and synced with global time servers.
What's my best solution?
Thanks
One option specifically for Windows is htp. I have not used it.
Another option if there are other servers in your network is to time synchronize with them using NTP

I found that to start with apple app development you need to have some sort of Mac.
I wonder if one may load an image of an Mac OSx on an Amazon EC2 instance for this purpose.
Not going to work. EC2 uses Xen for its virtualization technology, and the chance of a Mac Xen port is pretty much nil, due to Apple's famously tight control over their operating system. Your best bet is probably to pony up for a Mac Mini; they're relatively cheap and could make a good starter dev box.
You want a local one anyway. You'll be running IDEs and a bunch of interactive utilities; latency from using a remote desktop will make everything just that much more difficult.

I have laptop with an external e-sata/USB combo port. I have an internal Seagate SATA drive removed from another laptop. I want to recover the data in this disc. Is it possible to connec t this hardisk through the e-SATA port? If so, what cable would I need to connect in?
You need a SATA-to-eSATA cable for the data. It's pretty standard. It's getting power to the drive that can sometimes be a challenge.
Alternatively, get an external enclosure, or a SATA-compatible dock. I use this one, and have had no troubles with it.
