@wrcombs My newbness is about to show again.

Hey, its okay. Im a newb too! I just have good research "skillz" (if you can call google savvy a skill....)
We can always learn more. Maybe even starting your own thread with your problems would give everyone a better idea, and the ability to help you out.

@scottalanmiller said in What Is Expected of Microsoft Server Support?:

Did they fix something broken with the OS that IT could not have fixed?

There are some quirky poorly documented things that are sometimes need to be done with ESEUTIL, and repairing from corruption, or failed log replays on Exchange and SQL. In theory it's not always Microsofts fault (caused by storage layer issues).

The other issue is driver issues for IO devices. In theory this should be transative (supported by teh OEM who agree's to support your OS). That said OEM's often don't support the free OS's because they don't have joint engineering commitements to fix issues on them.

RedHat has hard commitments from Avago/Broadcom to fix a driver HBA issue if they find it. Having a Server that has a supported OS means they have Avago's commitment to spend hundreds of thousands of engineering time to fix an issue. Redhat will possibly work to mitigate it from their side if possible. Missing the OS vendor in this conversation/effort can make things move slower or stall. Avago and other component manufactoreres will refuse support calls from a customer who bought the device through an OEM so without the OEM listing your OS as supported you are kinda screwed.

(A long time ago) I saw a case where a I/O device had outright buggy silicon, and a driver and OS side workaround was needed to resolve it. This is all the more fun as how the I/O device engineering teams work is they generally refuse to work with a customer directly and require the OS vendor escalate the issue to them.

Very convenient, as for me

Thanks

(Get-WmiObject -class "Win32_TSGeneralSetting" -Namespace root\cimv2\terminalservices -ComputerName "remoteServer" -Filter "TerminalName='RDP-tcp'").SetUserAuthenticationRequired(0)

This worked, but also as soon as the server is updated to the latest then the issue goes away.

Yes, if you have that option.

Although this link is about HP Recovery Partition, I believe you can use the same fix.

Found the same thing a bit ago... just been working other thngs to try

You just want to remove the drive letter from it.

I just wrote a wiki article for this, internally.

How are you liking Bookstack so far?

I mostly love it.

I need to rethink a little of our organizational design now that it has more content.

Before you rip and replace the install... look at the current driver version so you can compare it to the new install.

@dbeato said in Can Roaming Profiles be a good idea?:

Before Windows 10 to get a symlinknyou couldn’t do it without elevated permissions now is much improved.

I use directory junction (/J) instead of directory symbolic link (/D), which requires admin privileges. All I wanted is to create a link from c:\users\user1\Desktop to c:\users\user1\Nextcloud\Desktop.

Edit: Now obviously there are more to it than just creating links to have it properly setup.

It was a messy setup and doesn't work with most browsers. I started laughing when I got the cert prompt.

Why, you would expect a self signed unless you replace it.

Sorry, not that I wasn't expecting it since it is self-signed. Just after having it not work with anything but Edge, it was just one more thing to get through and I was nearly done at that point. But I couldn't get it working with Edge very quickly to try it out (got more errors) so I eventually just uninstalled it.

Edge would act the same as IE, I mean you would expect that after the SSL Cert warning anything else would work better but you it is always a feature with MS 🙂

Duplicate IP or bad switch or local port... possibly driver.

"The recent shift to the cloud has proven immensely profitable, with Microsoft stock growing to levels that seemed unfathomable just a few years ago. The shift away from the client and Windows is clearly working as a business strategy — but it’s a seismic shift for the company and its culture."

He seems to figure things out by the end, but just stating what everyone has known for years.

You see! This is why you shouldn't patch!

@black3dynamite said in Windows Server 2019 Goes Into Preview:

When will we see the availability of Hyper-V Server 2019?

Preview is already out, I believe.

MM that is just troubleshooting but it is not loading without the recovery disc or recovery partition. Safemode is a pain as well.

I just manually looked for events 7001 and 7002. got the job done.
