Dynamic Disks
If you use a Dynamic Disk in Oracle VirtualBox then you’ll probably notice that your disk space usage will increase over time however this space never reclaimed when you delete data from your virtual machine.
In this article I’ll show you how you can configure you Synology NAS to use a VPN. In this case I’m using DSM 5.1.
Why use a VPN client?

For more information, press F1.

This can sometimes be a headache if you’re operating in an environment where you have “limited” access rights.
The Problem
Today I hit the following error after installing SQL Server 2008 R2 and then opening the SQL Server Configuration Manager console.
The remote procedure call failed. [0x800706be]
So what is ProcDump?
I just thought I’d write a quick post showing you how to use the ProcDump utility, yet another great Sysinternals tool. This tool helps you capture unhandled exceptions in real-time from a running program.
