Enabling Tech Support Mode within VMware ESXi 4.1
Tech Support Mode within a VMware ESXi 4.1 host is a command-line interface for troubleshooting. The feature can be enabled via the vSphere client or via the console.
To enable via the console, log in as normal. Access the Troubleshooting Options selection from the main menu.

Priority of network interfaces within Windows
To determine the priority of available network interfaces within Windows, launch a command prompt and use the following command:
netstat –rn
Near the top of the information will be a list of all of the network interfaces and a priority number in a column to the left. The loopback entry will normally be the lowest.
If you wish to change the priority list, access the TCP/IP properties for the interface in question and remove the default checkbox for “Automatic metric” and manually enter a value. A value higher than 1 is probably preferred as not to interfere with the loopback address entry.
Verify That TRIM Is Enabled In Windows 7
Windows 7 is supposed to automatically detect a SSD hard drive and enable the TRIM function by default. To verify this setting, launch a command prompt with local administrative authority and type:
fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify

0 –> This indicates that TRIM is enabled and working.
1 –> This means that TRIM is not enabled.

Microsoft’s Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit
EMET provides users with the ability to deploy security mitigation technologies to arbitrary applications. This helps prevent vulnerabilities in those applications (especially line of business and 3rd party apps) from successfully being exploited. By deploying these mitigation technologies on legacy products, the tool can also help customers manage risk while they are in the process of transitioning over to modern, more secure products.
