New Reading list for MS Exam 70-533 – Implementing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions

My reading list for Microsoft Exam 70-533 – Implementing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions is finally complete enough to share.

I have not had time to take the exam myself yet, so it might still come some changes to the list. Happy reading 🙂

New release of Azure PowerShell – Version 0.8.8 is here

A new Azure PowerShell release is available. To upgrade, click this link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=320376&clcid=0x409 or follow the guide from the Microsoft Azure Documentation http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/install-configure-powershell/

If you ever forget the password for an PFX file

Had a case yesterday where we needed the password for a Certificate PFX file.

Luckily we found this tool, and after a short time using brute force we got the password: http://crackpkcs12.sourceforge.net/

If you have a netbook or a small laptop, why not spin this up in Azure using a Linux machine?

Anyhow, it works, and the service is back on line 🙂
