The WinRM client cannot process the request. It cannot determine the content type of the HTTP response from the destination computer.

There are quite a few people having the same issue, but what worked for everyone else was just not working for me. I tried all the suggestions mentioned here:

I tried everything mentioned in that article but it still did not work. Another issue with it, is that in order to run the “Get-User” and “Set-User” commands to check the user permissions, you need to open the Exchange Management Shell which was my problem to begin with. A workaround is to open a regular PowerShell and then run the following command:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010

This allowed the use of the Exchange Management cmdlets. This then showed us that the user accounts had proper permissions and that this was not the issue.

The way I ended up resolving it was by using that same PowerShell to remove the PowerShell Virtual Directory from IIS:

> Get-PowerShellVirtualDirectory

Name
----
PowerShell (Default Web Site)

> Remove-PowerShellVirtualDirectory "PowerShell (Default Web Site)"
> New-PowerShellVirtualDirectory
cmdlet New-PowerShellVirtualDirectory at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
Name: PowerShell

Name
----
PowerShell (Default Web Site)

After it created the new PowerShell directory, I had to open up IIS Manager and navigate to the PowerShell virtual directory. Go to the SSL settings, and make sure that “Require SSL” is not checked and hit Apply.

This resolved the issue for us after nothing else did. Hopefully it can help someone else out. I do recommend following the steps in the linked article first since that seems to resolve it for most people.

I have lately been using Eclipse with the PyDev module to do Python programming. I was having a hard time figuring out how to get the PyQt libraries working correctly with it when I ran across this post:

For the longest time I was looking for a device like this. Instead of burning ISO’s to blank discs, you can just copy them over to this device. You can then plug the device in and choose the ISO from the built in screen. Now the device looks just like a USB CDROM drive to the computer with the selected ISO mounted. You can even boot from it to install an OS or boot utilities that need to be run outside the regular OS environment.

The first one we bought died after a few days but the new one has worked great. It allows you to copy the files to it using either USB or eSATA. We threw a 500 GB drive in ours so it can hold a LOT of ISO’s. No more scrounging around for CD’s or wasting media on something we will only use once.

I kept seeing confusing videos and screen shots of a game called Minecraft. You can check out the website for it here:

I decided to try it out myself to see what it was all about. At first it was completely confusing. I found a couple of YouTube videos that explained it a little better. This one at least got me started:

Now it has become completely addictive. I’ve even got a few other people hooked after showing them a couple of times.

Right now the game is still under heavy development. It was all written by one person named Notch. I purchased the game about a month ago and he has already added quite a few features to the game. Anyway, if you want to waste a bunch of time, this is a good way to do it.
