    • Windows 10 idle lock timer; 15 minutes

      I am purposely cross posting for coverage, more the merrier.
      Backstory:

      Moved users to Azure AD. Of course there is no GPO unless you want to pay to enable AD DS and run a VM in Azure. Goal for this customer is to be serverless so that is not an option.

      All of the google I have done with "screen lockout timer" and various other searches come up with all the pictures changes, sleep of the password window showing at the console of windows. Nothing I have found says, this reg key turn to 15 to enable 15 minute timer of being idle and the screen locks.

      All I need is simple 15 minute idle timer that will then lock the computer, something simple that has been done before, I just need the registry settings in Windows 10 that you can change the value to like 15 to accomplish this.

      Surely someone has done this in a workgroup environment to since that is essentially what this is. We have an RMM tool that will allow remote registry changes.

      "We installed a new application on the XYZ server and IE keeps crashing"

      First of all thanks for the heads up and information on what is being installed and what it does. Second, I made AV exceptions and gave the useraccount full rights to the installed folder, third of all other websites work.

      Application issue, not my issue to fix.

      Go suck a turd.

      Before anything else, I'd have to ask "Why is IE being run on a server?"

      People are afraid to install chrome or firefox, and thus only use IE.

      I tend to do this as well, but because I just don't want to have to update 1 more piece of software. . .

      Let me rephrase that question for you "Why is any web browser being run from a server?"

      Testing the application to make sure it works before going to the masses.
      Turns out after the install, the VM randomly rebooted itself at 3PM for updates. When not 30 minutes earlier the application was installed. After reboot the event logs are LITTERED with errors of the new program! I disabled all the services and told the vendor they are not being enabled until you can have your L2 look at it with me. I am not going to spend time fixing your crappy program, it is a waste of my time.

      Let me rephrase that, why is IE being run anywhere?

      because it is ingrained in the os.

      Even Chrome was crashing. So what ever is being called from the website to the app is having issues. Event log is littered with errors from the new app. New app services are now disabled and trying to get a WTF pow wow with the vendor sceduled.

      @scottalanmiller what flags are those?

      The ones that can easily stand out I believe are Marines and American flags. Some of the others are either Texas flags or POW/MIA flags.

    • Powershell to Delete Outlook Profiles

      I am trying to get this script to work. End result is to have it check to see if there is a file that exists, that we will push out with RMM.
      If that files DOES exist Start script, if that file does not exist, Exit. Do not pass GO and collect 200.
      Then once that check is done, see if there is a done file, if file exists, quit, if file is missing GO!

      Export-Mailbox -Identity user -PSTFolderPath \server\exports\user.pst
      60 lines of these.

      For my own curiosity, what version of Exchange are you running or are you doing this with Exchange Online?

      Exchange 2007
      I had to build a 32bit vm with Outlook to even get it to work. You cant run it from the server.

    • Insert "Y" After each line in Powershell

      I have a script of over 60 mailboxes to export from Exchange 2007, pressing Y after each one is becoming a royal pain in the ass.
      I have tried putting a Y after a few lines and it didn't help. My Google foo might be weak, but any advise?

      Her insurance was in email, she forwarded it to me. I forwarded it to my insurance agent with pictures and her license. She emailed few hours later and wants it under the table. Ooooppps wheels are in motion within 10 minutes of exchanging info, snooze you loose. We both don’t own our cars, leased through the same company. You have to file any accidents with leasing company anyway since they own the car.
