To find your Mac's IP address, type the following command in Terminal:

ifconfig

Note that it's ifconfig, not ipconfig as you might expect. You will see a bunch of data. You can find your IP address in the en1 section on the line that starts with inet.

If you're not into Terminal, you can also find it by going System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP. You will see your IP address listed next to "IPv4 Address."

You might get a weird error when you try to change a table in SQL Server 2008:

"Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made require the following tables to be dropped or re-created. You have either made changes to a table that can't be re-created or enabled the option Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created."

This is followed by a list of tables that can't be changed.

You will probably get this error due to the latter (the option) than the former (the table can't be recreated). To get rid of it, go to Tools > Options > Designers > Table and Database Designers. You should see an option that says "Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation." Uncheck it, and you should be good to go.

Creating a new RemoteApp is super simple once your Terminal Server is setup to allow RemoteApps. The TS RemoteApp Manager, which allows you to manage your remote applications, can be found in Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Terminal Services.

Creating a new RemoteApp

1. Click on the "Add RemoteApp Programs" in the "Actions" menu to the right.
2. Click next
3. Select your program
4. Click next
5. Click finish

Changing properties on the RemoteApp

The RemoteApp program should show up in the "RemoteApp Programs" list at the bottom. Right-click on the RemoteApp you just created and select "Properties." You can update the location, the alias, and command line arguments.

Creating the RDP file

To create the RDP file that will let users connect to the RemoteApp, select the RemoteApp you just created. A menu should show up in the "Actions" menu specific to your application. Click on "Create .rdp File." You can choose where to save the RDP file, terminal server settings, gateway settings, and certificate settings.
