      Sorted this out. For some reason the install was setting Allow Global IP and Allow Default Route. Once I unticked these and ticked All Managed IP it all began working.

Try applying the rules to only non-admins groups. Yeah, it is at the computer level. I would like to do it via user config but I only want them to apply to users on the RD servers. I need to figure out the proper way to structure AD/GPOs to not screw up everything else. I am guessing creating another OU as a sub container and move the RD servers into. Edit: Since it isn't GPP, there isn't any item level targeting, so I can't do it that way. If you can make those changes directly in the registry, maybe can allow you to use GPP and item level targeting. Hmmm. That makes sense. Let me mull it over.

If we open the only other VM, ESXi can't work. So that tool, I'd expect, couldn't actually run. Oh you can run it from any where, as long as you can ping the ESXi or reach it. but i prefer a VM cause its faster I see. That was a problem for us because we couldn't transfer off of the server, their network wasn't fast enough

      Best way to run Chrome on 2016 RDS. Use this as a reference. https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/187202?hl=en Use enterprise edition and configure admx with GPO Set Disk Cache Directory Roaming Profiles Directory User Data Directory Setting up Legacy Browsers and Plugin Turning off Hardware accel and other settings for performance. Just read that and configure what policies you need. Took me a day to set up but works smooth.

      @wrx7m said in Server 2016 - Force Default Update Server to WSUS Server Via GPO: @dbeato said in Server 2016 - Force Default Update Server to WSUS Server Via GPO: This would have happened on Server 2012 R2 as well, dual scan has been around and causes a lot of problems as you noted. It is strange that I didn't have these issues in 2012 R2. I essentially copied the same GPO for 2012 R2 and made some minor changes to it to convert it for 2016. My 2012 R2 show the correct default service. Weird, I have various Server 2016and now 2019 with WSUS and while dual scan was an issue for me on Server 2012/ 2012 R2 not anymore.

      @pmoncho said in Windows RDS User Profiles - Migrate, Recreate or User Profile Disks?: @Dashrender said in Windows RDS User Profiles - Migrate, Recreate or User Profile Disks?: Cool, then you should have it easy. FYI - Published apps still create a full profile on the RDS box, Just the desktop isn't presented to the user. If the application allows them to browse around, they could typically see the drive letters, the mapped printers, etc... that's why you still need to lock all that stuff down. Thanks for the info. I will keep that in mind. I was debating about using UPD's like @wrx7m and that was my interest in this post. Also, still planning out where to put Connection Broker, WebAccess and Licensing but that is another post. For local profile management, UPDs are a lot cleaner. If we are not putting them on a file server across the network then a second partition/VHDX is set up for that task to keep them separate. With the inclusion of FSLogix with RDS CALs/SALs now it's a no-brainer, IMNSHO, to set the project up on the FSLogix version. Storage management is another reason why UPDs on a network or separate partition make sense. Keeping a local profile on the C:\ of the session host is messy and can cause issues down the road with users coming and going. As far as the Broker/Gateway/Web put those roles on one VM but separate from the Session Host.

      I would recommend to use the UEFI PXE Boot and that any UEFI boot settings on the devices to be deployed have UEFI settings enabled, including the UEFI Network stack (At least on dell devices). For testing I always run a VM to test my deployments before using on a Desktop and prepare it as much as I can and then deploy it to the devices. It helps to add all the drive packs from the Hardware Manufacturer (Say Dell, HP and so forth). Dell https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln312414/dell-command-deploy-driver-packs-for-enterprise-client-os-deployment?lang=en HP http://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/HP_Driverpack_Matrix_x64.html http://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/HP_Driverpack_Matrix_x86.html Lenovo https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht074984 Acer https://www.acer.com/sccm/ Microsoft https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/deploy-the-latest-firmware-and-drivers-for-surface-devices With Pre-Staging machines you need to rely on adding the device mac addresses manually or use Microsoft AD to add them with a Script or Manually to be ready to WDS. This makes it that you can add the devices before hand and only those devices will get the deployment. However you can setup an specific network or VLAN to have the WDS For Multicast, I like this article https://specopssoft.com/blog/wds-multicast-configuration/ However I like the option to disconnect the clients when their speeds go way low and then go unicast instead of multicast. Multicast makes sense that way that way the slow clients do not slow the faster clients. I am still not sure why MDT is not being implemented but that is for another post.

What about working around that issue? We removed the domain completely. So now you're what - trying to use a 2019 SMB file share or something? What does file share have to do with AD? Completely disconnected concepts. True - I was making my own leap - So - where does this stand now then?? We removed AD. It turned out that it had been installed without evaluation and was serving no real purpose, but was posing a significant risk.

It was MDTC and Windows Firewall. (Which is frustrating, because the firewall is turned off for the domain!) Good job at troubleshooting. I'm wondering what led you down this path versus something related to Networking, hard drives or software drivers? Remembered it from several years ago with another SQL based application. Don't know what made me think of it at 1:30am. But I'm ok with it!

      I finally got this to work if anyone is interested. The sql file is fine, but I had to change my batch file. The correct one looks like this: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Client SDK\ODBC\110\Tools\Binn\sqlcmd" -I -S \.\pipe\MICROSOFT##WID\tsql\query -i C:\Scripts\WSUSDBMaintenance.sql It must be run from an Administrator command prompt. This took me several days to figure out so I hope it can benefit someone else. Everything I found about reindexing the WSUS database was on Server 2008 or 2012. This works on Server 2016.

      @nerdydad - Yes, you do get a skimped down version of Azure AD with the O365 license. The prerequisites mention using Azure AD, but don't say which one, except where they say that the Premium version is optional for auto enrollment with intune. Although, they have several plans/tiers, including 2 premium tiers.

      @phlipelder said in Hyper-V Server 2016 guest licensing question: The guests on an OEM licensed host can be moved to another host whether it's licensed OEM, VL, or Retail so long as the destination host is licensed to receive those guests. That makes no sense. That's not moving it, that's buying it twice. Very different things. That's like "can I move my house from here to there"? People mean take the same house and shift its location. Not buy a second house in the new location and give up the old one.

      @emad-r said in Trying to correctly understand core licensing in a vmware environment: @dave247 maybe this was answered here, but I was wondering if someone can correct me on this If i put WIndows server VM with 2 cores on Hypervisor any brand which has 8 cores. Do i need to license windows server VM for 2 cores or 8 cores ? There are no cores at the VM level, those are vCPUs. Windows is licensed by cores, not by vCPUs. Cores are always physical, and the minimum is 16. No matter how you configure the VMs and vCPUs, you have to license 16 cores at a minimum. A single vCPU could use sixteen cores or more to power it, the licensing is by the available power, not the configuration.

      @bnrstnr said in Annoying Apple Issue - SMB - Finder issue: @dustinb3403 This doesn't even sound like a bug, more like intentional crippling. Is there some proprietary Apple file sharing protocol they want people using? Well, there is speculation of that. But it is not documented and Apple kept it even after their reasons for doing so (promoting their own SMB server that addressed it with a patch) were gone. It's known as a "bug" and Apple has admitted to it as a bug that they don't care to fix. So.... read in as you will.
