The underfloor heating and cooling system of my apartment is managed by a WTH thermostat. Last week had temperatures of 30+ °C, which is why I wanted to switch from heating to cooling the floor of my apartment. Somehow the instructions in the manual didn’t work for me and ended up with error code A2.2. Of course - an error code that’s not described in the manual. Below is an image of the WTH D9380 rF-t thermostat I have.

Cause Recently I replaced my workstation and that was a perfect time to rebuild my home lab. After I got green lights from my employer to install the all new Windows 10 Creators Update, I also installed Hyper-V and started to build servers in my lab. I was playing around with Shielding, Virtual TPM and SecureBoot until I found out that RemoteFX didn’t work anymore. I added the RemoteFX adapter to a VM with shielding enabled, but saw in the Hyper-V Settings menu that “0 virtual machines are currently using this GPU”.

Recently I bought a new soundbar for my Samsung television. I connected it with TOSLINK/SPDIF (digital audio) to my Samsung television. I didn’t like using the second remote control of the soundbar, so I used the “Learn” functionality from Yamaha to ‘learn’ the volume and power functions of my Samsung remote control. After a quick setup I found out that - of course - when you use the television remote to control the volume, both the television and soundbar will adjust to this.

2016 has been an amazing year for me. One of the biggest highlights was Microsoft Ignite in Atlanta. With a group of 5 Avanade people we went to the conference to find out where Microsoft was working on for the last couple of months. I’m still convinced that I gain most knowledge on conferences like Ignite, because people from Microsoft present the latest innovations. Also a lot of features are planned to go Generally Available (GA) during events like this.

Some error outputs are not always useful. Especially when they make no sense for the issue you have. Error message: New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name ‘YOURPARAMETER’ Solution: This error occurs because of at least the 2 following issues: You didn’t specify a parameter for ‘YOURPARAMETER’ in your JSON template. That’s what the error says. If you forget to specify a parameter with the New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment cmdlet, you’ll see a prompt to insert a value for that parameter.

Today I met Jeffrey Snover and had a lot of conversations with new IT Pro’s. That’s what I like about Ignite: connecting with Microsoft Experts and other IT Pro’s! Tonight is the Attendee Celebration at the Olympic Park. Tomorrow is the last day at Ignite and the conference will end at 14:00. Below are the sessions I can recommend and followed today: Understand Credential Security by Paula Januszkiewicz If you can attend a session of Paula, always do it because she has interesting sessions about security.
