Refresh ISV/WebResource after CRM 2013/2015/2016 Save Event

I had a Web Resource page which needed to refresh a jqgrid on it after some fields on a CRM form were updated and record was saved. In order to do this a ran a watcher to check to see if the modified date of the record had changed if so I ran the code to update the grid. This code is on the actual Web Resource page not the form JS. Also a quick note you may want to run another watcher to make sure window.parent.Xrm.Page is not null before you run this code. 
//set the initial modified on date
var prevModifedOn = window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute('modifiedon').getValue();

var xrmPageWatcher = window.setInterval(function () {
    //check to see if the date is modified, convert to string since JS doesn't know how to convert the CRM date time to a datetime object
    if (window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute('modifiedon').getValue().toString() != prevModifedOn.toString()) {
    //update the previous data time so we can detect another save
    prevModifedOn = window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute('modifiedon').getValue();
    //refresh our JQ grid or do whatever else you want like refresh the whole web resource etc.
    $("#grid").jqGrid('setGridParam', { data: awardsDS.generateDataTable(true) }).trigger('reloadGrid');           
    }            
}, 500);

    Honestly, I'm very bad at system code, but the idea is pretty good. But when I had to solve such problems, I just prefer to ask for help from professionals, like this guys https://www.bitrix24.com/uses/free-hosted-CRM.php. I never regretted the choice of their company and software.

Add User As Local Administrator On Domain Controller

I recently was settting up a new Microsoft SharePoint 2010 machine and had promoted the machine to a domain controller before creating my SharePoint admin accounts.  I needed to add several of my accounts to the local Administrators group.  Unfortunately after you promote a server to a domain controller you can no longer access the GUI for Local Users and Groups.  Instead I had to use the command line to add the users. Open a command promt using the "Run as administrator" function and then run the following command. net localgroup Administrators /add {domain}\{user} Note: do not include the {} brackets.

Windows Server 2008R2 VMs Shut Down After 1 to 2 Hours

Image
When created a lab environment to test ADFS 2.0 I utilized the Windows 2008R2 VM baselines distributed by Microsoft.  After a few days I was told that I had to activate.  The VMs included a 180 day license for use but I didn't feel like adding another network adapter into Hyper-V to connect them to the internet.  I started having issues though where the servers would shut down every hour or so.  I though that maybe there was a memory issue and Hyper-V was shutting them down in order to free up RAM.  Turns out that if Server 2008R2 is not activated it automatically shuts down after a period of time.  After connecting the server to the internet and activating them the problem went away. Finally the madness of the unknown shut downs has ended :)
