We would like to congratulate Nicholas Hauenstein, the most recent addition to the Visual Studio ALM Rangers! Nick was nominated for his subject matter expertise and contribution to the ALM community.
Nick is currently working on study materials for:
- Exam 70-496: Administering Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012
- Exam 70-497: Software Testing with Visual Studio 2012
- Exam 70-498: Delivering Continuous Value with Visual Studio 2012 ALM
More information on these study materials will be announced soon.
Nick joined the ALM Ranger because he wants everyone to succeed with their endeavors, and have the best guidance and tooling available in that pursuit. Nick says, “I’ve already gained immensely from ALM Ranger deliverables (e.g., the Branching and Merging guidance, and the Visual Studio Build Customization Guide), and am excited for the opportunity to give back where I am able.”

I just finished reading the fascinating new mini-eBook “The New Kingmakers” from Redmonk co-founder Stephen O’Grady. This book represents a more in-depth analysis of a premise put forth by O’Grady a couple years back: developers are the single most important constituency in technology. O’Grady doubles-down on that claim here, and while I think he proves […]

Lately I came across a weird exception, while building a BizTalk project with Team Foundation Server. Let’s have a look.

To follow on from my preview post about Working with Azure Virtual Network Preview, I have continued to work with the Azure Virtual Network Preview this post is about setting up the VPN with my new ADSL2 router (from this post New Internet Hardware for Home).
Currently the only supported hardware devices are from Cisco and Juniper, but using the following 2 blog posts as guides I was able to get the VPN working with my new Draytek 2830.
Windows Azure Virtual Network VPN with TMG 2010
Create a Virtual Network for Cross-Premises Connectivity
To start I followed the link above “Create a Virtual Network for Cross-Premises Connectivity”, to setup the Azure side of the virtual network.
Once the gateway was created, I opened the Draytek 2830 (Firmware Version 3.6.3) configuration tool, select VPN and Remote Access, selected LAN to LAN
Click Index 1. (or the next available if some already configured
In the Common Settings, Update the Profile Name to the name of your choice, my choice was “azure”, select the “Enable this profile” check box, select the VPN Dial-Out connection, click “Always on” check box
In the Dial-Out Settings, Click the radio button in front of “IPsec Tunnel”, Enter the Gateway IP Address from the Azure Portal
Click the IKE Pre-Shared Key from the Manage Key button in the Azure Portal
In the IPsec Security Method, select High (ESP) AES with Authentication, Click the Advanced Button, Select AES128_SHA1_G2 and AES128_SHA1
In the Dial-In Setting make sure “IPsec Tunnel is selected
Nothing is required in GRE over IPsec Settings
In the TCP/IP Network Settings, Enter the IP Address of your Internet Connection and the IP Address of the remote Gateway in Azure, Enter your Remote Network IP and Mask, Enter your local Network IP and Mask and Select “Route”
Click OK on the bottom of the configuration page, click Connection Management to see if the connection has been established, it may take a couple of minutes to initially establish, but once it is connected, this is what you should see
On the Azure Portal you should also see
These setting should work for any router that support the same settings.
Hope this helps anyone trying to configure an Azure Virtual Network VPN.

Today while I was playing with BizTalk Server 2006, yes I know very old stuff, but sometimes is needed and for those who are accustomed to developer BizTalk solutions knows that we need to sign the project with a strong name assembly key file before we deploy them nothing new. The funniest part came when […]

Over the holidays I have given my home Infrastructure a serious upgrade, I have replaced my ADSL router and added a new Wireless Access Point to the network.
I replaced my old faithful Draytek 2800 ADSL router with a new Draytek 2830 Triple-WAN ADSL2+ Router with 4-port Gigabit LAN Switch, the upgrade now gives me a couple of features that I have been waiting for:
- IPv6 support, I can now use the native ‘dual-stack’ IPv6 that is part of my Internode connection
- Azure Virtual Network VPN (router support all the IPSec setting required)
- Gigabit LAN connections
- USB port with support for my Telstra 4G modem, as an emergency backup
The upgrade when very smooth, I am now syncing a bit faster than with the old router, download speed are a bit better, I am on a Telstra RIM that has been TopHat upgraded to ADSL2.
The new access point is a EnGenius EAP600, EAP600 is a concurrent dual-band 2.4+5GHz Wireless-N Indoor Access Point that features high transmit RF power (29 dBm on 2.4GHz and 26 dBm on 5GHz) for long range connectivity. With wireless speeds up to 300Mbps on each radio and a Gigabit port for connecting to a switch, which looks like a smoke detector.
I have now installed this strategically in the family area to cover all of the house and the back deck with strong wireless signal.
I now need to look at upgrading the wireless card in one of my Dell laptops so it can take advantage of the high speed wireless.
The router also has an Ethernet WAN port so when, in the distant future, the NBN comes to Beaconsfield, I am ready.

Hi folks, I came across a very handy little tip the other day that works with *any*
set of Batch Commands that you want to run sequentially.
Now before you jump out and tell me “Mick, what are you doing?! Powershell is where
it’s at!”.yes yes I know. I’ve half the guys at the office telling me that too.
So onto the goodness on this one:
The key is
<cmd> && <cmd>
e.g.
net stop “Print Spooler” && net start “Print Spooler”
