We can take VSS based snapshot of Hyper-V VM using WMI CreateSnapshot() API provided by Msvm_VirtualSystemSnapshotService.
But there is no API provided to read the snapshot data.
Please suggest the ways to read Hyper-V snapshot data for backup purpose.
There are many details which you can leverage for your backup purpose.
The Msvm_VirtualSystemSnapshotService class contains the following properties:
Description, DetailedStatus, OperatingStatus, OperationalStatus, PrimaryStatus, StatusDescriptions etc.

I'm installing the latest MMASetup-AMD64.exe and want to hook up to Log Analytics AND SCOM. But, I'm having trouble finding the command line parameters for SCOM. Does anybody know them? The Log Analytics ones are well documented and are here:
ADD_OPINSIGHTS_WORKSPACE=1
OPINSIGHTS_WORKSPACE_ID="1234"
OPINSIGHTS_WORKSPACE_KEY="5678"
I need the equivalent parameters for management group name and management server. Effectively completing these boxes but via the command line.
Thanks in advance.
I believe parameters for management group, secure port, etc. are not available with MMASetup-AMD64.exe. Here are the supported command line options with it. So may be, if its feasible in your environment and setup, try to use MOMAgent.msi to install agent manually or to deploy System Center Operations Manager agents from the command line or by using the Setup Wizard. The parameters like MANAGEMENT_GROUP, SECURE_PORT, etc. are all explained along with examples in this document. For more information, please refer it.

On checking the following documentation for Alibaba Cloud ECS :-
https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/59643.htm
https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/25499.htm?#CreateInstance
https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/25517.htm
I see that there's an option to enable encryption for the Data Disks using the following option(s) -
Set the parameter DataDisk.n.Encrypted (CreateInstance) or Encrypted (CreateDisk) to true.
However, I don't see a similar option for encrypting the SystemDisk for the ECS instance while creating the instance / or in ModifyDiskAttribute
Is there an option for doing this which is perhaps not documented ?
Missed checking this in the documentation, it's present in the Limits section of the following article:
https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/59643.htm
You can only encrypt data disks, not system disks.
Also, as mentioned "Data in the instance operating system is not encrypted." on the following official Alibaba Cloud blog:
https://www.alibabacloud.com/blog/data-encryption-at-storage-on-alibaba-cloud_594581
And I think reason behind it would be that the Encryption on the system disk will slow down the processing capabilities.
I need a reliable procedure for the following problem i'm facing:
I created win 10 vm in azure, changed browser setting and then created vhd from it. When i create new VM from that image, every single modification that i made was gone because of sysprep.
How can take a snapshot of the this configuration and apply it on the new VM's that i create? I tried to use tools like regshot but it gives me a lot of changes.
You can take a Snap Shot through Power shell:
Get the VHD disk to be copied.
$disk = Get-AzureRmDisk -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -DiskName $dataDiskName
Create the snapshot configurations.
$snapshot = New-AzureRmSnapshotConfig -SourceUri $disk.Id -CreateOption Copy -Location $location
Take the snapshot.
New-AzureRmSnapshot -Snapshot $snapshot -SnapshotName $snapshotName -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName
If you plan to use the snapshot to create a Managed Disk and attach it a VM that needs to be high performing, use the parameter -AccountType Premium_LRS with the New-AzureRmSnapshot command. The parameter creates the snapshot so that it's stored as a Premium Managed Disk. Premium Managed Disks are more expensive than Standard. So be sure you really need Premium before using that parameter.
For more information, see the Create a VM from a snapshot sample.
Hey to every alfresco pro out there!
Is there any way to create a report (graphical or textually, i don't care) to see the following information:
download count per file
how many times did user X download a specific file
which permissions do the users have
Are my goals easy to realize? Is there any plugin out there that i can use for this? (Already searched for some but couldn't find one) Hope that you can help me :)

There is nothing out-of-the-box that is counting downloads. Maybe the audit service can be used to count reads, but you'll have to turn it on and configure it. Once turned on, the audit service writes records to a set of audit tables in your Alfresco database. You can then use any reporting tool to query those tables.
If you want to check the permissions a user has you can use something like OpenCMIS to connect to the repository, traverse a folder path, and then, for each object, you can inspect the ACL of that object to use as data in your report.
As Lista said, one way to create such reports is to use AAAR, but that is not required.
I have developed few testing reports in my local machine. I came across few mechanisms called Snapshot and Caching. I am trying to implement those in my reports, every time when i try to create Caching mechanism it throws me an error "credentials need to be stored. "
Can we use caching and snapshot by using Windows credentials?. if so what is the approach.
My local machine details.
Serername-(loacl)
Authentication -- (Windows)
name and pwd-- gryed out
my reportserver URL: satish-pc/reportserver
DB-Adventure Works.
Scheduled snapshots or caching plans mean the report is being executed on an automated basis, and the results stored for easier/faster retrieval later. As the executions are autmoated and unattended, they need connections with stored credentials, as there is no user sitting at the computer at run-time to punch in credentials. So, in order to use snapshots or scheduled caches, you will need to create a data source that has credentials stored in it. In Report Manager, you can edit the Report's datasource in the Report Properties page, or the shared datasource's connection into on its own properties page.
