It starts as a programming problem:

Domain.GetCurrentDomain().DomainControllers

triggers an exception:

Unable to obtain DNS hostname of Active Directory domain controller with ntdsa object name "CN=NTDS Settings,CN=SERVER002,CN=Servers,CN=Site01,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=TLD,DC=org".

Because ONE domain controller has a problem, no domain controllers are returned.

This then becomes a DNS problem, I believe.

What entry, anywhere can I modify (manually if needed) to be able to get the value into DNS, correctly?

Thanks.

I am attempting to do a content search through Exchange on O365 to return mail between [email protected] and anyone at outsidedomain.com

I thought that this should work in the KQL:

(ParticipantDomains:outsidedomain.com) AND ((Sender:[email protected]) OR (Recipients:[email protected]))

However, this seems to include all mail to/from [email protected]

  • No matter who it is sent from/to
  • Also if [email protected] is in a group to whom it was sent.

What do I need to put, to only find direct email conversations between [email protected] and anyone at outsidedomain.com?

Thanks

In the world of basic authentication, I used to connect to MSOL, Compliance and Exchange in a series that went like this:

        function ConnectToCloud()
        {
            $CloudCredentials = import-clixml C:\tools\CloudCreds.xml
            Write-Host "Connecting To Compliance Online..." -foregroundcolor white -BackgroundColor Green
            $Session1 = New-PSSession -Name "Session1" -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.compliance.protection.outlook.com/powershell-liveid `
                            -Credential $CloudCredentials -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
            Import-PSSession $Session1 -Prefix CP -DisableNameChecking -AllowClobber | Out-Null
            Write-Host "Connecting To Exchange Online..." -foregroundcolor white -BackgroundColor Green
            $Session2 = New-PSSession -Name "Session2" -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell `
                            -Credential $CloudCredentials -AllowRedirection -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
            #Import-PSSession $Session2 -Prefix Cloud -DisableNameChecking -AllowClobber | Out-Null
            Connect-MsolService -Credential $CloudCredentials
            Write-Host "Starting the Checks..." -foregroundcolor white -BackgroundColor Green
        }

In the world of Modern Auth, we're supposed to connect to Compliance with: 

    Connect-IPPSSession -Credential $CloudCredentials

and connect to Exchange with:

    Connect-ExchangeOnline -Credential $CloudCredentials

the connect to MSOL hasn't changed.

The problem is that when I run Connect-ExchangeOnline, it DISCONNECTS me from Compliance and vice-versa How can I, in a script connect to all THREE services simultaneously, using modern auth?

Thanks!

I am trying to execute the following line from a powershell script:

msiexec /qb /i ps-pulse-win-5.2r5.1-b897-64bitinstaller.msi CONFIGFILE="ALS GSLB.jnprpreconfig"

This works when called from a DOS command line, but MSIEXEC complains that things aren't right when I call it from powershell.

This does work...

msiexec /qb /i ps-pulse-win-5.2r5.1-b897-64bitinstaller.msi

Obviously SOMETHING is messing with my arguments, but I can't figure out how to make it work.

I've managed to use a Baseline Configuration to set business hours for my clients via remediation.

I'd like to do the same/similar for "Automatically install or uninstall required software and restart the computer only outside of the specified business hours" checkbox.

BACKGROUNDER

We used to install updates as soon as they came in... users don't like it so much when .NET churns their PC for an update, so I set an installation deadline of 7 days from when they are found via ADR.

The settings say "after deadline - install outside of maintenance window" I have updates that just came into my PC and are saying "What do you want to do with these"

Well, I'd LIKE these updates to install at the first available maintenance window and I think I need that little box checked, or will they install tonight, whether I do anything or not?
