I wouldn't try to automatically use a capitalized "SMTP" as in the example you "had tried" at the end of your post. If you did then every entry you add in to a proxyAddress attribute would have a capitalized SMTP. Only the main login should have capital SMPT, the rest of them (aliases) should be lower case).

As for improving PowerShell skills, I bought this when it was released: https://www.amazon.com/Windows-PowerShell-Step-3rd/dp/0735675112
and I highly recommend it. I haven't gotten though much of it yet because I'm trying to finish up some MCSE's first, but I will be diving a lot more into it soon.

@DustinB3403 Yeah maybe I am paying $70 a year... I forget.

I'm not familiar with this scenario, but off the top of my head, I would verify with the company you work for to see if you would be able to export / backup your O365 account to a PST file for your mail, and backup the rest of your stuff on other services.

Then I would purchase a personal yearly subscription. I think i'm paying $99 per year, which allows for up to 5x 1tb storage accounts, the office suite, and skype time... among some other percs.

I'm not sure what you require, perhaps the personal subscription won't be enough for your needs, and you'll need to look in a business license or something.

It very well could be that the server had several network ports, and someone just figured they all aught to all be plugged in... just out of ignorance. I'd see what traffic is on them as I said above. Or what you said, just ask them why.

Open up resmon.exe, network tab.

TCP Connections section, then look at Local Address for the IPs, and see what's connecting to them.

Sometimes, the only way to find out what something does is to unplug it, then wait by the phone.

Haha, just kidding... but not really. Be careful!

I use tags for browsing categories, and I use searches for finding something specific.

When you go in to a library wanting a sci-fi book, you go to the sci-fi section, or even look for an aliens area (tags). And when you are looking for something specific, such as Terminator, you will search for it... or search more specifically (searches).

That's how I use and think of tags, whether its right or wrong I don't care. It works well for me that way.

May be a bad example I don't know, hopefully my point came across correctly.

Well, I can't view their site because I use an ad blocker. I despise that crap. Got another article?

Trying to study without checking ML...

PowerShell Empire has some good modules that will do all that
Check out BloodHound.

Well then happy birthday ML! I'm a more recent joiner too, didn't know of ML existence soon enough!

PowerShell tag?

Sounds like the typical workings of offline folders. Nothing you can really do about it.

Have you considered testing Work Folders? I think it requires 2012, but may be worth an evaluation.

I think this may be helpful: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/filecab/2015/09/04/comparing-work-folders-and-offline-files/

I found this:

I'm still in the process of doing a Data audit, which includes:

• Production data totals (non-compressed, non-deduped)
• Data clean-up plan (what can go, duplicates, old and forgotten dupes, unneeded stuff)
• Data consumption rate (how fast is actual production data growing)

Rough estimate at this point is between 10 and 15 TB total. Estimated to be able to down it to under 8 TB raw. (may be wishful thinking, though)

EDIT: in addition to above storage:

• Office 365 email storage: 1.5 TB
• OneDrive: 125 GB

Look what I found..

How in the fuck do I fix this?

Time sync from the host has never been enabled. I realize it always gets it at boot and I did reboot last night because I updated the Hyper-V host.

The host also has the correct time.

C:\>time /t
04:03 PM

C:\>date /t
Mon 02/13/2017

C:\Users\bnaadmin>

Can you remind me again why you will not or can not use the Hypervisor time? Does the time match the host if you actually enable the "Time Synchronization" service?

Do you have an offline root CA or is do you just have a single CA that does it all: certificate issuing, CDP, etc.?

On the DC, can't you request another one from your CA via certlm.msc?

The DC is the CA.

Not good... But I guess it is what it is. So let's just focus on fixing it.

Is starting over an option?

If not...
How is your pki set up? How many tiers? From where did you import the wrongly named cert?

No. Unsure; I inherited this and I'm hazy on CAs. A previous DC was in use and is decommissioned, but the old cert was imported to keep some cisco products from complaining.

You still need to renew the certificate. You can do it in CA management.

If I only limit myself to my 8-10 hours at work, focusing only on work, Monday to Friday, I wouldn't know anything! Exaggerating a little, but you get my point. If you want to maintain a career in IT you need to live and breathe it... I has to be a passion imho.
