hi gents, i have data stored in external xml file... script automatically read , assign specific variables. after while, figured out cannot use variables (%system% or $posh) in external file (which makes complete sense), decided whenever retrieve data, use 2 functions expand sting: $executioncontext     . invokecommand . expandstring () expand posh $variables and [ system.environment ]:: expandenvironmentvariables () expand system %variables% it works fine, run problem today while handling sql queries. expandstring() automatically rid of quotes (single or double-quote), sql queries corrupted (where x='y'). i realized can use ''' (where x='''y'''), y cannot variable of course :( i solved using $([char]39) instead of ', curious how handle such situations? martin  maybe? gc file.xml |%{[regex]::replace($_,"%(\w+)%",'$env:$1')} Windows

Expanded VHD disk - results in slow performance & limited functionality

we expanded disk on 1 of our virtual machines using vhd tool.  ever since we've expanded disk, we've noticed considerable degradation in performance.  example(and problem @ hand) when attempting create share takes on 7minutes create.  merely accessing share tab takes couple minutes open.  once share created, can't access administrator.  mere coincidence, or vm messed up? i thinking of running defrag on disk, see if helps.  far share goes, not permissions issue.  share created exact same on vm running same configuration/settings. any thoughts? ~berry hi. did create backup of vhd before expanding ? are disk fixed or dynamic ? kristian Windows Server  >  Hyper-V
