I have a bunch of machines configured in Azure that use AAD to login. As they currently only require Username and Password I feel that they are at risk. If a user logs in on the web then they are prompted for two factor, but not if they login with the same account to a desktop.

How do I require two factor for RDP/terminal login to any computer joined to my AAD domain?

Just to be clear:

  • I have no on-premises Active Directory (and don't want)
  • I have no on-premises infrastructure (and don't want)

I am getting the above error when trying to configure Hyper-V virtual switches. This happened no matter what type of switch I try to create.

PS C:\Users\Martin> New-VMSwitch -Name “NewSwitch” -NetAdapterName “WiFi” -AllowManagementOS $True 
New-VMSwitch : Failed while creating virtual Ethernet switch.
Switch create failed, name = '326B5310-CEB9-4E87-AB36-DD2DD9602A73', friendly name = '': Operation times out (0x80041069).
Timed out trying to acquire network configuration lock, current owner = 'iphlpsvc.dll'.
The operation timed out.

Any help would be very much appreciated as I could not find anything online.

If I have 3 servers for my website, how would I direct users geographicaly to the right place?

The main server is in Australia, but content is synced to a US server. As someone in the uk my ping times to the US server are under 100ms, but Australia is 300-600ms.

What are my options for directing traffic to the correct server?

  1. Wide IP?
  2. Detect and lookup IP on the first server they hit and then redirect to another domain?

How do Googe do it?
