FreeBSD 10 Hyper-V DHCP not working after install / reboot

By coreboarder in freebsd, Hyper-V, networking December 24, 2013

After installing FreeBSD on a Hyper-V machine I had no network connection.

The solution is to modify rc.conf that DHCP will always work on boot

Edit /etc/rc.conf:
Comment the following with a “#”: ifconfig_YOURNICID
Add the following: ifconfig_YOURNICID=”SYNCDHCP media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex”
Save
Done

Powershell BCS list call error: an error occurred while enumerating through a collection: the shim execution failed unexpectedly – proxy creation failed. default context not found

If you get the following error whilst making a call to an external list make sure that you instantiate a spservicecontext. Just add the lines below above your get-spweb.

# BEGIN: Get the SpServiceContext as a BCS call is being made
$context = Get-SPServiceContext “http://sharepoint/”;
$scope = New-Object microsoft.SharePoint.SPServiceContextScope $context ;
# END: Get the SpServiceContext as a BCS call is being made
