So one day I left a Voyo A1 mini tablet charging for a little too long, I thought, oh well – I will replace the battery at a later time and just leave it in a box for now.
Leaving an over charged Li-ion battery in a box for 7 months isn’t the best things to do ….
Sorting some things out some time later I found the unit and wondered why the box wouldn’t shut completely, a peak in side and I see the below! luckily the box wasn’t kept next to a heat source as i guess things could of been worse.

In the past I have moved WordPress installs from development to live and also live migrations without any issues until I came to move this site.
I had carried out all the normal steps to moving a WP install;
The below script will remotely query MS Windows 7+ for what version of Internet Explore a PC has installed.
Ensure you have PSEXEC installed and ready for use, more info here
Save the below to a ‘.bat’ file of whatever name you like. On running the batch file you will be asked for a hostname, enter the hostname and press the enter key.
Once the Enter key is selected the system will return what version of IE is installed on the remote PC.

Use this script to run a program remotely. In this scenario the script is used to install IE9 onto a remote MS Windows 7 machine.

Save the below script as a ‘.bat’ file.
Update the script to reflect the network share where the IE9 (or other) install / upgrade package is stored.
On running the script you will be shown a CMD box asking for an asset tag (also known as hostname). Enter the PC asset tag, select Enter… The Script will connect to the remote computer, copy the installation file over to a C:\temp folder, run the installer using the switches provided and the delete the file once completed.
The script should return an ‘error’ code of 0, this means the installation completed with no issues.
