Fix 0x000000A0 INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR issue

-
A while back I encountered a nasty little BSOD:  

0x000000A0 INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR

After some digging I discovered that this seems to relate to the size of the Windows Hiberfile being less than 100% that of the system's RAM.

The fix is as follows:

- Open elevated Command Prompt

- Type "powercfg -hibernate -size 100" and hit Enter

I sometimes have to deal with customer computers whose Outlook PST or OST files have become corrupted.  Very often the fix is to run SCANPST.EXE on the offending PST/OST file.   However, every time I go to do this I forget where the two executable files are.  Here is where they are on a Vista machine running Office 2007: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 I hope this helps.

​Was installing  APC PowerChute Network Shutdown (PCNS) on a customer’s server and couldn’t find a record of the Authentication Passphrase that I set ages back on their Smart UPSes Network Management 2 Card.

To do this, open up PCNS in your browser and click into the area shown below:

WSUS Issues

Was configuring WSUS on a Server 2016 VM for a customer recently and found the performance to be very sluggish and most of the time the client PCs would time-out and throw an error message when trying to check for updates. After much digging on different forums I came across a fix that worked nicely: Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and click on Application Pools Then Right-Click on your WsusPool instance and choose Advanced Settings Scroll down to Private Memory Limit (KB) and change it from the default of 1843200 to 0 which means unlimited. Then right-click and stop the WsusPool and then start it again. Hope this works for you.
