How to recover a “Lost” command window (W2K8 Core)

For a project that I am working on, I have just started working with W2K8 Core, which is administrated via the Command Line, and NOT for the faint of heart.

The following “notes” are being shared during my adventure:

  • How to recover a “Lost” command window

I was REALLY surprised with how difficult it was to find a quick answer to this is, either via Google or on Microsoft, but I finally found “it”…

“To recover, you can press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, click Start > Task Manager, click File, click Run, and type cmd.exe.
Alternatively, you can log off and log back on again.”

– The Log “Off and On” did NOT work for me.

Google Wave

Off the top of my head, I do not remember how I found this, but after watching the Google Wave Developer Preview at Google I/O 2009 video, I signed up for an account, and now I am hooked!

If you have not watched the video, and are still wondering what Google Wave is about, well, imagine being able to “mash” together eMail, IM and Blogging all together in one location/interface!

If Google can pull this off, than folks like eRoom, Lotus Notes, Twitter, Facebook and MySpace are going to have to start to rethink their apps.

I have already started to use it for a Business Project and have seen the benefits of an Open-Real-Time collaboration environment!

One of the main objectives of Wave is to be an Open Source environment that anyone can setup and use.

Bottom line… Keep and eye on this!

Update

09-Dec-17

For the most part the upgrade went well, I did run into a few errors that I needed to search the main DNN website for “Error after install 5.2 Host Settings“, but the site is upgraded! Yeah!

Unfortunately, the upgrade did NOT help in fixing the main issue FOR the Upgrade “Can’t Edit/Update Page Settings fields“, which is driving me nuts!
