hi all today i've noted following when collection renamed through rds server manager: the icon folder store on collection broker servers (ha) c:\windows\remotepackages\cpubfarms\<collectionname> doesn't change original name. the collection name registry keys living [hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\terminal server\centralpublishedresources\publishedfarms\<collectionname> remain original collection name. reboots not force synchronisation. if either registry key or folders mentioned above renamed manually, within approx 10 minutes rds renames them (or creates fresh copies) using collection name used upon collection creation - not using new name! 1.  is there way synchronise these? 2.  can powershell used rename session collection?  i spotted cmdlet: set-rdsessioncollectionconfiguration there appears no way of entering both old , new collection names should wish rename collection, implies properties can modified, not name.

WMF 5.0 Production Preview -- Extreme console startup times on Windows 8.1/2012R2

when starting console first time, i.e. powershell.exe or powershell_ise.exe, after installing wmf 5.0 takes several minutes before can input commands.   during time, console uses 100% cpu single logical processor there few different behaviors, it's pretty same.  either prompt never appears, commands queued , there no output console, or every command fails error " the number of waithandles must less or equal 64. "  it's not 10 seconds or thirty seconds either.  on main development workstation, pretty new with ssd storage, can take 20-30 minutes before console usable.  on fresh vm install nothing unconfigured os, 5 minutes has typically been minimum. if log in same machine new user, behavior repeat again.  behavior repeat on 32-bit version of console well.   once console unblocked, starting console works expected, @ least until os update or other configuration resets behavior.  windows updates re-triggers whatever happening in console.  so, it's not reprod
