Technical Notes Of Ehi Kioya
A while ago, I noticed a peculiar behavior with one of my custom SharePoint workflows. Tasks were getting locked out after the first edit. The first edit proceeds fine but when we attempt to edit the task a second time, we get an error like this:
This task is currently locked by a running workflow and cannot be edited.
It’s easy to apply themes to SharePoint websites using the UI. Just go to Site Settings and under Look and Feel, select Site theme. Then select the theme you want and press Apply. Developers however, usually need to do this programmatically (for example you may have a requirement to manage a website theme using a feature). Here’s how to do it.
At the end of my previous post Moving A VirtualBox VM With Snapshots, I described a common VirtualBox error you may experience when you try to clone virtual machines and move them around. The error is associated with VirtualBox Guest Additions which is usually installed across individual virtual machine instances.
VirtualBox allows us to copy a virtual machine from one host to another easily. You just copy the hard disk file (usually .vdi or .vhd) to the new host. Then you use the transferred hard disk file to start up a new virtual machine on the new host. That’s it! However, I have found that if you use this method on a VM containing snapshots, you only get an old machine state of the original virtual machine. All saved snapshots are lost. In this tutorial, I explain how to move a VirtualBox VM to a different host and still retain the snapshots on the original host.
This article goes straight to the installation and VM setup process. We shall be creating a Windows Server 2012 VM on a Windows 7 host machine. For some more background info, See my previous post – VirtualBox and Virtualization: An Introduction.
VirtualBox is a cross-platform virtualization application. It installs on your existing computer (and operating system) and extends the capabilities of your existing computer so that it can run multiple operating systems (inside multiple virtual machines) at the same time.
