Shadow an RDP session
I was working on migrating VM’s via Hyper V cluster failover remotely, and a college asked if there was a way to Shadow. We tried both connecting to 1 host via logmein with no luck. I searched and found a way to shadow via RDP.
1.) I was log’d host via logmein (could easily be RDP)
2.) I then created another domain admin user called test since I was on as administrator. They logged into another host on the same network via logmein as the test user
3.) Then they RDP’d as the user test to the server I was logged into as administrator
4.) I opened remote desktop services manager and looked to see the session number administrator was logged in as (it was session 3)
5.) They opened command prompt (right clicked run as administrator). In the command prompt they typed: shadow 3
6.) I was prompted “Do you want to relinquish control” which I did.
7.) They could then see my desktop and do whatever in it, but I couldn’t see
8.) I X’d out and reconnected and we were golden.
9.) + stops the shadow

Force static IP clients to move to DHCP
The following will set the client to use DHCP:
netsh interface ip set address “Local Area Connection” dhcp
Unfortunately, you will need to do the same with DNS as well (otherwise it remains statically assigned)
netsh interface ip delete dns “Local Area Connection” all
Place that in GPO as a startup script after testing.
Move KVM VM vm to HyperV
Found the following online on Novell’s site and it worked perfectly (link below)
Copy the disk to a pc with virtualbox installed the convert with:
c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage convertfromraw c:\be\disk0-test.ra
w test.vhd –format VHD
Then copy the vhd to hyperv and do it
1. Boot the target machine into rescue mode, using appropriate boot media
2. Run the following command to determine which devices are /, /boot and swap:
fdisk -l
3. Using that information mount the appropriate devices:
mount /dev/%root device% /mnt
mount /dev/%boot device% /mnt/boot
mount –rbind /proc /mnt/proc
mount –rbind /sys /mnt/sys
mount –rbind /dev /mnt/dev
4. Change the system root to the newly selected location:
chroot /mnt
5. Modify the /etc/fstab file to make sure the correct devices are being used. For example the root, boot, and swap devices might be listed with these device names:
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
/dev/sda3
According to the fdisk -l output, however, the devices should be listed as follows:
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3
6. Modify the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and replace the boot partition information with the correct device id. For example, the boot partition may be listed as this device:
/dev/sda2
Where it should be this device:
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2
7. Make sure that the /var/tmp directory exists and then run the following command (note: the /var/tmp directory may need to be manually created first):
mkinitrd
8. Reboot the target machine
