emma — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 16:17:56 +0000

By default IPv6 is not enabled on windows XP Pro and Windows Server 2003. However, its very easy to enable IPv6 with netsh (net shell) command line tool.

Enable ipv6

netsh interface ipv6 install

Disable ipv6

netsh interface ipv6 uninstall

To verify if ipv6 is enabled, run ipconfig /all and see if ipv6 address is returned.

Note: you can use netsh to enable/disable ipv4, just change ipv6 to ipv4 in above commands.

To install PowerShell on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, following features needs to be installed.

NetFx2-ServerCore

Because Powershell is built on DotNet framework, DotNet 2.0 and 3.5 has to be installed prior to PowerShell installation.

DISM.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx2-ServerCore DISM.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3-ServerCore DISM.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:MicrosoftWindowsPowerShell

Or run following command if it’s an 64bit machine

DISM.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3-ServerCore-WOW64

Access denied when creating a folder just deleted

emma — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 20:22:12 +0000

I have a batch script which remove a folder and re-create it. The command that remove a folder is rd /s/q and the command create folder is mkdir. Recently I see something weird happening, everytime when the folder is deleted and re-created, there is error message Access is denied displayed. However, if I rerun the create folder command laer, it always pass successfully.

The explanation on http://support.microsoft.com/?id=159199 seems make sense,

This file is in a state known as pending deletion. This file has been deleted, but there are still handles open to it. NTFS will wait until all handles to this file are closed before updating the index. If an attempt is made to access the file, however, NTFS will deny the attempt. Because the file is listed in the index, but is effectively deleted, you can see the file but you cannot access it.

The workaround here is add a 60 seconds sleep between the folder deletion and folder creation operation.
