Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software
Windows Surface PRO RT WiFi connection issue – Limited connectivity
I ended up using a registry hack to limit the Surface to 802.11g speeds
If you still have problems apply the following registry changes:
Open Desktop -> Search -> regedit
Open regedit. Select menu Edit -> Find…
Enter “AutoUse40Mhz” -> do search.
There are 2 such entries in registry. We need to change one, located under
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\” branch.
– Set “AutoUse40Mhz” to “0” (it has value “1” by default)(This limits the channel bandwidth to use 20MHz, this reduce the speed and it’s the recommended setting when you are experiencing issues with n connectivity)
– Set “Band” to “4” (it has value “6” by default)(for what I understand this change may force some devices to connect g)(I would recommend to apply the first registry change, reboot and see what happens before applying this other change).

Setting up Windows Server 2012 RADIUS and Sonicwall NSA – error “RADIUS communication error”
When trying to setup Windows server 2012 RADIUS server – NPS to work with Sonicwall NSA appliance you will receive and error “RADIUS communication error” when testing RADIUS settings in Sonicwall NSA appliance. Do not use the generated key from Server 2012 interface. It is too long for the Sonicwall management to accept it. I only used first 15 characters of the key and deleted the rest.

How to find GUID From MSI File
Typically (though not universally) if a piece of software uses MSI-based installation the GUID can be found in the Uninstall entry. It will usually either be the key name or will appear in the UninstallString and/or UninstallPath value. Sometimes life is easy and there is a ProductGuid value.
Uninstall entries can be found here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
On a 64-bit version of Windows there are two such keys, one for 64-bit software and a second for 32-bit software:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
