Today, I was forwarded a blogpost by a MVP, and his resignation from the program. The thing is, its not really something you can resign from, you just don’t renew or you kinda “decline your award”. I made it to 11 years in the program, and I have been long gone now – mainly because the products I worked with… Read more →

Yes, so were we today and it was a pain in the ass to get that Pending.xml file out of there, even with full admin rights. We had a VM on HyperV, so we mounted the VHDX file and used FastCopy (Great Tool) to Delete it…. like… Read more →
