Dave Greebe's questions

I'm struggling couple of days with the following issue.

I'm want to let people, that are a member of a AD authentication with their username/password on SQL Management Studio 17.x but I cannot use Windows Authentication, because the computer they are working on is not joined in the domain.

There is a option for "Active Directory - password". I had the issue that my certificate was not trusted. That has been solved, but now I get he message; OR: Target principal name not found/incorrect OR: Login failed for user .

My SQL-servers are configured in Mixed-mode.

Hope somebody can help me, because now my remote users, cannot login onto SQL with their own AD credentials.

BTW, I do see allot of solution to use batch-file to launch it, but I'm hoping that there is another way because in that case, the credentials are still plain text on that workstation.

Best regards Dave

We have an active Office365 subscription, and yesterday I enabled Azure AD sync but now our Mail-enabled GROUPS are not being received by any client.

I uninstalled the sync-tool on my onPremesis DC but SYNC is still active in my Azure Portal. I want to undo everything so hopefully I have my mail back that has been send to the groups.

I'm struggling with this for the past few weeks and I hope someone has THE answer that works.

At my work we use VMWare and I've build a automated deployment of Windows server 2012R2 with Powershell, which is working great.

Most of my scripts are being executed on the VM itself and one of the functions is configuring Windows updates. I've found registry-keys for setting up Updates and Powershell is adding them into the register. The main problem is, is that those settings are not applied by the server. One of the settings is TIME and DAY.

After a couple of days fully researching, I've found out that there is an schedule task called Maintenance Configurator. I've found a way to disable that but that doesn't help (with psexec). My updates are still getting executed every day at 2AM.

Than I saw a schedule tasks with that setting. I changed that time to my desired time-windows and it executed at that time, but then it changed back to 2AM. I saw in the Action Center that the setting was still on 2AM, eventhough I've changed the schedule task manualy

How can I change this all by Powershell? I don't like the fact that the updates are being installed at 2AM, and I also don't like it that I cannot change it anywhere.

Hope someone knows how to fix

Best regards, Dave
