Services.msc and JScript.dll

Hello All,

It's been sometime I have installed Windows Server 2008 on my notebook. The basic reason behind installing Windows Server is the Hyper-V role. Using this I can run virtual machine side by side doing different kinds of testing. Yesterday I just thought let's try and start the SuperFetch service. SO, like every other user clicke on 'start' -> run and typed 'services.msc' and I was surprised to see the following box.

The Extended Tab of the Services.msc was blank. On the other hand clicking on Standard tab was showing all services by default. Extended tab is very much useful to get the brief description about the particular you want to start/stop. Well, I tried few tricks to check it out but could not make it out. As the OS was newly installed I was wondering what could be reason for such type of issue. After searching online (Live+Google) I got the hint. And I got landed up on the 1 of the KB articles page of Microsoft Support site saying "Several dialog boxes are blank." As it has provided the what I really wanted. I started the 'cmd' with administrative privileges and run the following command 'regsve32 jscript.dll' I got the pop up saying 'DllRegisterServer in jscript.dll succeeded.' Well, while the Services.msc is still running I clicked on the Extended tab again and here I got the detailed services' list.

There are small small things that we generally don't look up to. This was the essential element. Microsoft Jscript Library is required if you want to see such content. As far I know I don't remember how Jscript.dll was not registered. But never mind, as always http://support.microsoft.com came to the rescue and job was done.

Cheers,

Microsoft Hyper-V Server

Well, everybody who is into technical fields must be knowing about virtualization. Over the years PC Processing power has been evolving like anything. Years back if you wanted to try out any new technology specially networking, we were hunting for new boxes for learning the technology. If we see couple of years back story, we were familiar with the terms like Virtual PC, VMWare Workstation etc. The basic concept behind virtualization software allowing you to run multiple Operating Systems on 1 Physical Box eliminating needs for additional workstations and hardware like switches, cables. But most of them we used to use on our x86 platform were the type-2 or hosted virtualization products.

Today, we will discuss about the native hypervisor, which leverages the full potential of Intel VT (Intel Virtualization Technology) instruction set. Intel VT and AMD V are the hardware assisted virtualization technologies. Microsoftr Windows Server 2008 comes with built-in role called Hyper-V. The requirement for the role is your system should be having processor supporting Intel VT or AMD V. To use Hyper-V you can install this as a role in Windows Server 2008 or you can download a separate product called as Microsoft Hyper-V Server. Microsoft Hyper-V Server is based upon Windows Server 2008 Core and support only Hyper-V role. It is totally CLI based version that can be controlled from other computer or using SCVMM.

In the next part we will discuss about Hyper-V in detail and how we can utilize the features of hyper-v.
