      Of course though - this thread is about Windows Server, not desktop - where this should be MUCH less of an issue with properly designed code.

      Same code, they don't make it twice. Less hardware hotplugging, but probably just as many lines of code in use.

      Less desktop apps on the platform, but you're right - the base code is the same.

      Fewer desktop apps, maybe. But in the Windows world, server often is treated as a desktop (like 90% of the time) so the reduction is rarely what you'd hope. And there tends to be lots of server-only code too, often running as desktop apps.

      You mean sfc /scannow? Or DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth?

      @op Check your event logs for more information, and try running the commands above.

      Ran both, so far nothing, but I will run chkdsk tonight to see if that fixes anything. So far I can't find anything in the logs but I'll keep looking.

      I never use reservations for phones.

      Specifically with Yealink phones, I set the DHCP hostname value in the config file.

      So when I am on the network, I can easily just ping ext103.domain.local and shit..

      Or If I look at the DHCP server lease list, I see the hostnames listed as ext101, ext103, etc.

      @Donahue said in Domain Time off for some members:

      found it. It was the individual time for that ESXi member. It was running on it's own time, neither host time or any NTP. It was off by the 6 minutes. So for some reason, VMWare was syncing this setting with the host's ESXi clock, not the hardware clock, even though the settings disallow that.

      How do you know the VMware tools was doing the sync?. As I said in my earlier post if windows goes and tries to get the hardware clock no matter what your tool says for heartbeat or times are pretty station it’s going to get the Clock from the host.

      look at the picture I posted above. It was vmtoolsd.exe that was causing it to jump forward and svchost.exe that was correcting it. I found this under event 4616

      @wrx7m said in Shared HP Printers - Apply Preferences/Settings to Clients:

      I figured it out. You have to use the Printer defaults button on the advanced tab. It opens the same window as shown in the OP, but it will apply it to the clients.

      Yes, that is where you always do it. Remember that when you change printer drivers you need to change it all over.

      @obsolesce Right, I am having to add a group of computers to the printers' security permissions with allow printing enabled to get the GPP to actually deploy the printer to the user.

      UNC pathing to the printer by a member of the PrintersChecksUsers (while the user is logged in) allows them to install and print to the printer.

      The GPO shows as applied in the RSOP, but with item level targeting, I don't see any info on why it wasn't actually installed/applied. Maybe it shows it somewhere else.

      The key is the shared printer's security tab on the print server, itself. That is where I have to allow the specific group of computers, as well as the specific group of users. I need both, the computers and users groups to have at least printing allowed.

      These are the kind of things you think someone would catch.

      Not like it's some random 3rd party app on some 3rd party OS on some 3rd party host.

      I use a Linux server that is domain joined to see what groups a MS AD user is a member of. It's just way easier and faster.

      Done.

      I was just saying how ridiculously cumbersome this is because of Windows.

      @dbeato said in Flushing GPOs:

      You need to setup the settings to Delete or changed to not configured, wait until it applies and then delete the GPOs after confirming they are not applied any longer.

      Get-Content c:\temp\gpos.txt | foreach { Get-GPO -Name "$_" | Remove-GPO }

      http://jeffwouters.nl/index.php/2013/08/remove-group-policy-objects-through-powershell/

      I bet you could do something like this to set all GPOs to "on delete remove from client" too

      This assumes a txt file with all GPO names. You could also just use Get-GPO

      Wow. Definitely not doing that if I have the same problems as you.
      Ill just go around and install the upgrade manually.
      Not even sure why MS still has WSUS, it is nothing but problems unless you spend hours a week fixing and maintaining it.

      I hear ya, this took me an hour to research, make sure to gather correct logs and then do the how-tos.

      are any of your time services running under a domain accoutn instead of Local Service? Sounds like a service does not have permission to update the time

      Windows Time is set to run under "Local Service" (not local system account)

      So coming back to this (because I was setting some more stuff up), it seems that Windows DHCP Server does understand the RFC, that is why it actually sees and uses the entire machine ID sent by default.

      It is other devices like my EdgeRouters that I have to use the MAC address.

      The only problem with the machine ID scheme is that I have no idea what it is before the machine is created.

      Granted this is mostly my problem because I always use DHCP reservations instead of static IP addresses (evil fucking things, those).

      I continue to force the new systems to use the hardware ID, because I want to only track the MAC address hex info.
