I am creating an Azure Virtual Desktop implementation. What is the correct way to make sure that the AVD's use a static IP address for outgoing connections?
Is it by creating a NAT Gateway?
A few years ago, we moved all of our on-prem Exchange 2010 users to Exchange Online using a full hybrid migration. When have no on-prem Exchange servers anymore.
Many of the changes we make to mailboxes, etc., requires the use of the Exchange 2010 console (which doesn't support modern auth, and therefore doesn't work anymore) or editing AD attributes directly.
I have recently discovered that I can install the Exchange 2019 management tools and use the open source project Exchange Recipient Admin, which is nice.
But is there a way to move my source of authority for all things Exchange to Exchange Online and Azure AD, which still keeping Active Directory on-prem for everything else?
Does group policy loopback processing apply to that policy that it is defined in, or all policies applied to that container?
For example, assume there are 2 group policy objects: one has loopback processing enabled and the other does not. Both policies contain user settings, and are applied to a computer container.
Which policies will be applied? Both? Or just the policy that has loopback processing enabled?
We just installed a new IP phone system. The phones get their configuration via DHCP, which includes an option to set the phone to a different VLAN. The phone then requests an address via DHCP on that VLAN.
So now I have two registrations for the phone in my DHCP database: one in the "computer" VLAN, and one in the "Phone" VLAN.
Is there a standard way of cleaning up the extra DHCP registrations for the phones?
When trying to migrate an OS deployment task from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 R2, I receive the error "Failed to insert OSD binaries into the WIM file" during the step that copies the boot image. I have confirmed that the SCCM 2012 server has access to the required files.
On a Windows 2008R2 server, I am getting this message in Event Viewer:

However, there is no disk 11 on this server. The disks stop at 10.
This particular server is a Hyper-V host in a cluster. All of the disks are either CSV disks or pass-through disks, all backed by iSCSI.
How can I identify which drive this is?
wmic does not list the drive:

In trying to diagnose a failover problem with my Cisco ASA 5520 firewalls, I ran a traceroute to www.btfl.com and, much to my surprise, some of the hops came back as RFC 1918 addresses.
Just to be clear, this host is not behind my firewall and there is no VPN involved. I have to connect across the open internet to get there.
How/why is this possible?

I'm decommissioning a couple of Exchange 2010 CAS/HT servers that have a couple of weeks of message tracking logs on them. I'd like to move the logs somewhere where they can still be searched using the Get-MessageTrackingLogs cmdlet.
My first thought was to just move them to another CAS/HT server but apparently they are named exactly the same on all of the servers.
Are there any other options?
I would like to enable mailbox auditing for all of the mailboxes in my Exchange 2010 environment, including Owner actions of SoftDelete, HardDelete and MoveToDeletedItems. From what I've read in Microsoft's sizing documentation they recommend an additional 5-7% of IOPS for mailboxes with auditing enabled.
Has anyone else done this? What has been your experience with enabling it? Any gotchas?
I have a couple of Exchange 2010 PowerShell scripts that I'd like to run as Scheduled Tasks.
If I launch PowerShell using "Run as different user" I can run the scripts and they execute correctly.
If I schedule a task using that same user, the task stays in the Running state forever.
How can I figure out where the task is getting stuck?
For reference, here's how I enable the Exchange stuff:
. 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1'
Connect-ExchangeServer -auto
And here is the ways I have tried to run the script from the Task Scheduler:
- powershell -command "& {. 'c:\windows\script.ps1' }"
- powershell -file 'c:\windows\script.ps1'
- powershell -file "c:\windows\script.ps1"
All with the same result. Grr...
I have a Proliant DL380 G6 that I am re-purposing as a Hyper-V host for a new, off-site data center that will host our DR services.
The server currently has a P410i controller with the 512MB BBWC module. The drives installed are SFF 6G 10K drives. I plan to add the HP 516914-B21 drive cage, which gives me 8 more SFF drives, bringing the total to 16. To get the additional 8 drives connected, I have one of three choices:
- Install a new controller that can support 16 drives.
- Install a second controller.
- Install a SAS expander, such as the HP 468406-B21 recommended by HP's spec sheet for my server.
My question is: how do I know if I'm going hit a performance ceiling by putting 16 drives on the P410i or using the expander? And if I am, how do I select an appropriate controller? I'm not sure what specifications I should be looking at.
Does anyone know how to read the labels on RAM? Or have a link to a good resource for reading the labels?
Here's why I'm asking:
I have a third-party Dell server in my rack. The vendor sent us additional memory to install, but it doesn't work. The single stick already installed says PC3-10600E and the one they sent me says PC3-10600U. The *U one does not work, even by itself. I'm trying to figure out the difference between *E and *U.
Someone created a site under the Central Administration site collection. I need to move it to its own collection.
I tried using Export-SPWeb and Import-SPWeb, but I get the this error:

How do I fix this? Or is this even the best way to do this?
My network has all 2008R2 domain controllers, but we are running Active Directory in Windows 2003 mode.
Two of our domain controllers are configured as WINS servers.
I have discovered that our copiers and fax machines are currently configured to use WINS to find their servers, so I'm in the process of configuring them to use DNS instead.
How can I find out what else is actively using WINS?
What procedure should I follow to decommission WINS from my network?
Our current email address policy in exchange 2010 has way too many email address formats so I'd like to trim it down.
If I edit the policy and remove one of the formats, will that remove the corresponding addresses from my existing users, or will their extra addresses remain?
Ideally, I want them all to remain.
we have two server applications (one .NET/ASP web app, the other a native Windows app) that generate PDF's that are then emailed to our users on Exchange 2010. the apps deliver the emails to the Exchange server via SMTP, and our iPhone/iPad users receive their email via activesync.
pretty much all of the PDF's generated by the web app and many of the PDF's generated by the Windows app fail to open on an iPhone or iPad. tapping the attachment shows the screen that would display the PDF with the name of the file at the top but the bottom of the screen is completely grey.
one thing i have figured out is that the attachment on the iPad is uuencoded. forwarding the attachment to another email address shows the uuencoded format. here's a sample:
begin 600 unknown
M)5!$1BTQ+C0-)>+CS],-"C8@,"!O8FH\/"](6S8U-B`Q-#A=+TQI;F5A<FEZ
M960@,2]%(#DQ-#8O3"`Q,S`Q.2].(#$O3R`Y+U0@,3(X-3,^/@UE;F1O8FH-

.#0HQ,38-"B4E14]�H`
`
end
whereas the normal version of the file looks like a normal PDF:
%PDF-1.4
%âãÏÓ
6 0 obj<</H[656 147]/Linearized 1/E 9698/L 13571/N 1/O 9/T 13405>>
---snip---

so i think the problem is that the attachment is being double uuencoded somewhere, or the iPhone is failing to recognize that the attachment is uuencoded and not decoding it.
any suggestions on where to begin troubleshooting this problem?
when i set up adapter teaming on an HP server, one of the options i'd like to enable is round-robin for transmit load balancing because i need the full teamed throughput to a single host. (this is a live migration network for hyper-v.)
when i pick that option, i get a message saying "Packet order not guaranteed". for my use at least, i don't see a problem since my traffic is TCP. but i'm interested in knowing any general problems with out of order packets.
so, what are the potential problems with out of order packets?
We have 2 Exchange CAS servers running NLB. We use an outsourced SPAM provider who forwards messages to us. All of the messages from them go to a single CAS server because we only see one IP address from them.
Is there any way to configure NLB so that SMTP connections not from our network are load balanced per connection, while all other connections are balanced by source IP?
Is there a way to allow our Exchange 2010 ActiveSync users to use a swipe or pattern lock? I tried creating the simplest policy possible and testing it on my Android phone, which is now insisting on a PIN or password and doesn't let me choose pattern.
I'm trying to get VPN working between various devices and a Cisco ASA 5520 running 7.2(1). When trying to connect with a Mac running OX X 10.5.8, I keep getting this error: On the ASA it says:
Sep 16 13:44:02 [IKEv1 DEBUG]: Group = <redacted>, IP = <redacted>, All SA proposals found unacceptable
Sep 16 13:44:02 [IKEv1]: IP = <redacted>, All IKE SA proposals found unacceptable!
How can I tell what the Mac is asking for that the ASA will not provide?
