Ramblings o' Techie: Free up inactive memory in OS X
http://techierambles.blogspot.com/2014/06/free-up-inactive-memory-in-os-x.html
Monday, June 9, 2014. Free up inactive memory in OS X. There is a command named "purge" that will free up the inactive memory. You can read more about it on the purge man page. You can simply open Terminal and issue the command, then press Enter. You may need to use sudo purge, but nonetheless you can invoke purge and free up some RAM immediately. Vm stat grep free awk '{print $3}'`. 200MB * 1024KB/1MB * 1024B/KB * 1PG/4096/KB = 51200 (instead of 18000). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Awesome Inc...

Monday, May 19, 2014. OS X Active Directory Users losing admin privileges when offline. Dseditgroup -n /Local/Default -o edit -u localUsername -p password -a accountToAdd -t user admin. Rather than use the above command, I found simply using sudo removes the need for the -u and -p switches so you can use the following. Sudo dseditgroup -n /Local/Default -o edit -a accountToAdd -t user admin. U = local username used to authenticate to make the change. P = password for user defined with -u. Full path to th...

Thursday, August 22, 2013. Windows Search Companion pane is blank. If you run into this, the likely cause is that the jscript.dll file is not registered correctly. To fix, simply go to Start- Run, then use the command "regsvr32.exe %windir% system32 jscript.dll" and click OK. You should get a pop-up saying that the DLL was successfully registered, then try using search again. Links to this post. Outlook Web Access (OWA) shows requested resource is in use page.

Wednesday, July 17, 2013. Deploying Windows 8 using the Windows ADK and WinPE. After spending a chunk of today trying to get imaging and deployment of Windows 8 figured out I decided it was worth a post since the scripts Microsoft provides are either slightly incorrect or missing information. I started out with this TechNet article. Then built the final solution from there. For the create partition script, use the script below instead of what Microsoft provided. I have bolded the changes I made. ...Rem T...

Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Remotely enable Remote Desktop. I've had a few instances where, for whatever reason, remote desktop has been disabled on machines I manage. This can be quite a pain when you don't have someone onsite at that location who can turn the service back on. However, if the proper services are running you can get remote desktop working from your remote location without rebooting the computer. I originally found this article. Links to this post.

Friday, August 12, 2011. OS X Lion not creating a local home folder for network users. Apple released 10.7.1 yesterday, so I'm curious to see if it resolves these issues with network accounts.
