How do I connect to a VM using Remote Tools? - embedded

I'm using Compact 7 and try to follow the steps in a book called "Professional Windows Embedded Compact 7". I managed all the exercises up to chapter 8 but now I'm stuck.
Chapter 9 is about Remote Tools. I build and deployed the OS as described in the book and everything is working fine but when trying to connect remotely, it doesn't seem to work. For example when using the "Remote File Viewer" from the "Tools\Remote Tools" menu, I select the target device from the "Select a Windows CE Device" menu and it shows the "Connecting to device" dialog but it stays there and never connects.
I also tried the Remote Profiling tool and other remote tools, they all failed to connect. Is there anything that I'm doing wrong or does this mean that it is not possible to use Remote Tools for a Virtual PC?

I found this Microsoft topic:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/6012.how-to-use-the-remote-tools-framework-without-kitl-or-activesync-windows-embedded-compact-7.aspx
Hope this help you.
Thomas.

And the link is of no help as well as it takes to another link showing a solution for "How to enable Hyper-V for the emulator for Windows Phone 8"..
You need to have a machine that can handle creating Virtual Machines, So you need an I3 or better and your Bios has to allow VM creation, and you need to be running windows 10 Professional to get access to Hyper-V

raspberrypi2 - How to install GUI for windows 10 IoT

I have installed Linux on the pi before. I now need to install windows 10 for IoT. Whats the best way for me to do it?
I know that I can connect using powershell. Is there a GUI for controlling it?
Thank you
To install IoT core easily on a Pi there is a tool from Microsoft called the
IoT Core Dashboard.
This tool is an easy to use setup wizard that will format and install the Win10 IoT image.
Once the installation is finished you can access the dashboard of your pi through the browser from this tool or by typing in the local IP address.
There is an easy to use guide for installation found here: Getting Started
You may also connect using powershell after your initial setup: Connect with PowerShell

On which OS Search.CollatorDSO is available?

I am trying to search file system using Search.CollatorDSO:
Provider=Search.CollatorDSO;Extended Properties="Application=Windows"
On what Windows OS is this provider available by default? According to this question it is not installed on Web editions of Windows Server.
If it is not installed can it be installed manually?
After much digging, it appears the only way to get the ole db provider: Search.CollatorDSO is to enable the Search service in windows OS itself. Installing Search Server from the download does not install it. (Confusing!)
Note that Windows Search Service, what this thrad is about, is completely distinct from "Search Server."

Can I debug Windows Store applications on a non Microsoft tablet?

I am about to create a Windows Store application, and need to purchase a Windows RT device for testing. Is the Microsoft Surface the only device that supports remote debugging from Visual Studio? Or will it also work with a third party tablet from for example Samsung?
For debugging on a tablet you need to install the Remote Debugging tools on the tablet. Secondly, both machine (your developer rig and the tablet) need to be on the same net and the local firewalls must allow access. Then you choose Remote Debugging in VS2012 and you can choose the tablet. On a Surface RT I had to enter the name manually, as it has not found it by searching the local network.
Tim Heuer has a blog entry exactly about this topic: http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2012/10/26/remote-debugging-windows-store-apps-on-surface-arm-devices.aspx At the very end he says:
Now that you have a Surface (or other Windows RT device)
If your tablet is x86 it is a PC and is able to run the remote debugging agent, too. Note: download the correct version (x86, x64 or ARM)

Disk2vhd Hyper-V server question

Hello all I have a backed up about 30 servers using disk2vhd and now I have built my first of many hyper-v severs I did not realize this is all command line I did download CoreConfigurator and that does have some functionality I have been looking for. My question is how do I get the VHD files to run a Vitual Machines? its all command line I tried via vbs to mount the VHD's and I have not been able to any help on this would be great!
Thanks!
If you are using servercore, You maybe can do everything from the command line but I always prefer to have one computer running a Non server core version of windows 2008 to be the management server. You will load up Hyper-V manager on the non server core box and manage your Hyper-V server.
To have no "management" servers or desktops on your network will be a big pain IMO for management.
Using Hyper-V Manager you can quickly load the VHD's as VM's.
So load up Hyper-V Manager on a desktop PC on your localnet, and use its connect option to connect to your servercore. (Make sure your firewall settings are ok on servercore using coreconfig)
