Sorry for all the downtime, I recently moved over to my own VPS which is hosted by VULTR (pretty decent so far) but I am on the lowest tier with limited memory, was hoping to do all of this for cheap but I just might have to upgrade due to fail2ban using up majority of the resources.
HyperVTools v1.8 06/30/17
Minor update and feature add, see below for release notes:
The update feature is having some issues in v1.6, if the pop works for you then great! But if it doesn’t then I am sorry!!! Please use the below link to download the entire package.
HyperVToolsv1.7.zip (27 downloads)
Here is a little preview of the new version, super sorry that it has taken me so long to work on this. I need to add in a few more checks for input validation before I release it to the public but if you’re interested in testing give me a shout and I can send you a link.
1.7 Update
There is still a lot of work to do, I need to now think of how to work with clusters and also there is a possibility of SCVMM support.
Ok guys, I think I might have to default and go old skool with irc.
I can be found on FreeNode at the #uglyvpn channel, here is my attempt at adding a chat feature to this post…ideally you will want to get a client (I am using xchat)

Channel: #uglyvpn
Hello all, I had a huge durp moment when it finally clicked that I was running this on WordPress! I completely forgot that WP has plugins and one of them is a chat one, just what I need.
I’m usually around 6-7pm PST, feel free to leave a message!
On the bottom right of your screen you should see a blue button that says “Click here to chat!”
Please let me know if you can assist in debugging and I can send you an invite to a private chat room.
Hello all, I could use some help with testing out the new version. I have tried it with all of the hardware I have and so far things are running with no issues. This is a beta version (although the entire product should be considered beta as I am still writing it out) and can be downloaded below.
Fixed:
My hopes are that I get confirmation from you lovely people that things are working better than before and from there I will start adding in support for other things (SCVMM, Clusters, etc).
Does anyone know of a good way to chat in real time? Maybe we can start up a chat group so that I can actively fix issues in real time with you guys?
Hello folks, I have sealed the deal on my new hosting and will be migrating things over very soon.
On a side note, I am working on a remake of The Hyper-V Tool with multiple server support, clustering, SCVMM and much more! Lots of things going on, never enough time but please bare with me! Thanks guys!
Hoping this will save someone from a major outtage just to reset a password. If you have a FortiManager in your environment that manages your FortiGate firewalls/proxies/etc then you’re in luck (I hope).
With the FortiManager in place, it has the ability to run CLI commands against the devices it manages. This is a nice feature because otherwise you would have to reboot the device and perform the password recovery steps, which isn’t fun in a production environment.
For those that are interested as to how this all works, during the initial setup of your HA cluster with the FortiManager, you provide it the device serial numbers. The FortiManager then uses this to log into the child devices (kind of like the bcpbSERIALNUMBER login process during password recovery), the child devices allow this communication because they’re already aware of who the FortiManager is.
Hey guys, long time no update :-/
Sorry about that, I recently got married and next week I start my new job….so yeah, I’ve been pretty busy with life in general.
I just uploaded Hyper-V Tools v1.6 to the cloud and if you’re running a older version, you should be prompted to update. If not, then grab the latest version from below (or original thread).
On a side note: I am a utter noob when it comes to GUI design and even the smallest things can be extremely challenging for me to implement, in this case I had to implement additional columns on a per VHD basis but failed miserably, I mean I have been trying to come up with a solution and my brain has already melted and what I produce just does not work. So there is a slight mismatch in information between what the GUI displays and what is outputted to the CSV. The main addition is that in the CSV file, you will have extra columns for VHDs and in the GUI you won’t.
Hopefully I can figure this out and make the GUI pretty but in the mean time, please bare with me.
Here is a simple tool I wrote up to check my servers uptime
INSTALL:
The tool does not require to be installed, it can be ran directly wherever you place it. However if you want to use it via command line as I do, then place a copy in your C:\Windows\System32 folder (or a different folder per your environmental PATH variables).
USAGE:
