[Windows Server 2012] Add role fails
When trying to add a role (eg ActiveDirectory) to a Windows Server 2012 machine, I found that it would try to enable the components, but it would always fail in the end saying that the machine needed a reboot. It doesn't matter how many reboots you do, it will still fail.

[Linux] Check remote port connection
It may happen that you're working on a server with a user that has very limited capabilities. Sometimes you have no access to telnet:
telnet host port
nmap:
nmap -A host -p port
curl - it will complain that it did not receive data, meaning that it connected successfully:
curl http://host:port
netcat:
nc host port
or whatever other tool you like to use. So what to do? Well maybe, you have access to bash:
cat < /dev/tcp/host/port
but I find this method not very reliable. Instead you might have access to Python as well:
python
import socket
test_conn=socket.create_connection(('host',port))
telnet host port
nmap:
nmap -A host -p port
curl - it will complain that it did not receive data, meaning that it connected successfully:
curl http://host:port

nc host port
