Exchange 2013 - high cpu spike every hour
Hi to all,
as title, i have strange cpu spike every hour on exchange 2013 servers, here is the detail:
3x exchange 2013 (CU9), MBX+CAS, DAG (3rd node with 24h delay).
Clients connects only to node1 and node2.
Here is the graph from SCOM related to node1 and node2, cpu usage for "nonexchange (total)", node1 has all datastore mounted (5).
Some days ago the problem was related only to node1, i moved all datastore to node2 and for some days the cpu was ok on node2, but then, BAM, cpu spike problem also on node2.
Node3, holding delay dag (24h) and no client connection don't have spike problem.
"Exchange (total)" counter don't have spike:
Based on counter explanation, seems that cpu spike is NOT related to exchange process. But i'm not confident on that.
Nothing happen on servers, no warning, no critical alert. OS is Server 2012R2 clean, with only SCOM 2012R2 agent on it.
Someone could point me in the right direction in finding what's happen and to find what's the process that generate spikes?
Thanks!

Stop message related to deployment from coming up whenI log onto a W7 client
Hi Everyone,
I am seeing the message below every time that I start a Windows 7 Pro (32 bit) client computer on my domain -
This message is left over from an unsuccessful attempt to deploy Windows to the workstation. However importantly I am quite happy with the Windows 7 client the way that it is, and simply want to stop this message from coming up each time that I log into Windows.
If anybody has any suggestions on how I can stop this message from being presented they will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo

IMHO optimum procedure is based on completed install without any error.
If you want to play with incomplete installation, analyze processes that starts. There will be batch file stat start process. Prevent it from starting. Looking iinto scheduled task and analysis with Sysinternals tools would help. If the process starts sooner that you can start help tools, the enable logging boot processes in F8 menu.

Line Space Calculated Fields or Measure?
Hello,
I'm hoping someone will assist with creating a dynamic x-axis of equally spaced numbers in a PowerPivot model. The following function generates one of the most useful vectors I've ran across in my career;
Function LinSpace(ByVal a As Double, _ ByVal b As Double, ByVal num As Double, _ Optional ByVal endpoint As Boolean = True) As Double() 'Generate linearly spaced numbers.' Dim step As Double Dim i As Long Dim y() As Double ReDim y(0 To num - 1, 0 To 1) If endpoint = True Then step = (b - a) / (num - 1) 'with endpoint' ElseIf endpoint = False Then step = (b - a) / num 'without endpoint' End If For i = 0 To num - 1 y(i, 0) = a + i * step Next 'debug.Print step' LineSpace = y End Function
Its functionality can be successfully recreated in a simple excel table as shown below;
However, in attempting the structure in PowerPivot, a calculated field fails to divide by the count (num), while the measure just returns an error. . .
This appears to be simple at first, but with more effort its becoming quite the challenge. Any suggestions would be most helpful. I can also provide the workbook if required.
Thank you!!!
Andrew S.

Certainly doable -- if a bit tricky.
You are going to have some "slope"... "The change in value per point". Ya?
Slope := DIVIDE(MAX(MyTable[MyValues]) - MIN(MyTable[MyValues]), COUNTROWS(MyTable))
For any given point, ... it's value is going to be... MinValue + Slope * Point#
The tricky part is the Point#. Probably the easiest way to get that is via RANKX(). And I'm terrible at using that function :)
MyRank := RANKX(ALL(MyTable), CALCULATE(MAX(MyTable[ID]))
MyValue := MIN(MyTable[MyValues]) + [Slope] * [MyRank]
I actually think the MyRank is not QUITE right, but I'm hoping this gets you close enough to make the last leap...?
------------------------------------
Reply:
Thank you Scott,
The idea was very helpful. With minor tweaks the code below is in working order:
LinSpace:=MIN(MyTable[MyValues])+[Slope]*[Rank]
Slope:=DIVIDE(MAX(MyTable[MyValues])-MIN(MyTable[MyValues]),
CALCULATE(COUNT(OtherTable[ID]),
ALL(OtherTable[ID])
)
)
Rank:=RANKX(ALL(OtherTable[ID]),
CALCULATE(SUM([ID])),

xs:token type in xml schema
Hi all,
I have seen in one of the schema from client...
there is referance as xs:token in it now sure what it is ? can any one tell ?
Schema looks like ...
<xs:simpleType name="PartTypeName">
<xs:restriction base="xs:token">
<xs:enumeration value="Party1" />
<xs:enumeration value="Party2" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
any help will appreciated.
Thanks..
Thanks and Regards, Nitin.
Reply:
xs:token is functionally equivalent to an "enum" in C#. This implies that the field PartTypeName can have either "Party1" or "Party2" as values. It will be treated basically as string type.

Networking completely broken in 10130?
Hi,
I posted this over on the Windows Insider forums, and have been told to also (instead?) post it here, so here goes:
so - it appears that networking is completely and absolutely broken in 10130 -- that is if you want to do anything other than turn your PC on and have it get a DHCP address.
I had previously had a situation that is discussed in detail here:
https://communities.vmware.com/thread/491560?tstart=0
That is - Windows 10 breaks the auto-bridge functionality of VMWare Workstation 11 (latest build).
No problem, though, because the work-around did work - create a bridge between a host-only VMWare adapter and the actual physical host adapter. All works.
At least it did until 10130. In 10130, the bridge doesn't work at all, and only the "host-only" connection is seen by the bridge, meaning the host loses all internet connectivity, as does the client.
Sadly, right-clicking on ANY network adapter (including, most especially the bridge) crashes explorer.exe. Epic fail.
The only way to get even part-way back to normal was to use device manager to delete the bridge, and both adapters, then device scan to re-find the physical adapter. I've also used vmware's virtual network manager to re-create the host-only adapter, but there is of course now no way to bridge them!!
HUGE regression in basic network control!!
If anybody knows any way to re-create the bridge (and have it actually work) please let me know!

The first thing to try to reproduce is the broken Network and Sharing Centre.
Note - I have tried this on a Laptop that is also running build 10130, and did not see the right-click issue, but the laptop does not have VMWare installed.
- Open Network and Sharing Centre
- Click on Change Adapter Settings
- Right-click any Adapter.
On my desktop PC, this always results in explorer.exe crashing and re-starting.
I'm going to try an sfc /scannow on the desktop PC in case it can resolve anything.
UPDATE: sfc /scannow had no effect.

I can view the network and sharing center but when i open network adapters i cant see any of network adapters i tried reinstalling them nothing happens my wifi adapter and lan card both are visible in device manager but not availbale in change adapter settings or else where.. i tried using a 3g cloud router still no luck its interface opens but when i click on connect nothing happens. i am stuck i tried to go back to my previous windows installation and everything was working fine but when i reinstalled windows 10 build 10130 i got the same issue cant even activate the windows. i was lucky enough to once get my lan card working and i activated the window the first time i had installed windows 10 but couldnt update anything then when i restarted my pc the lan card was not showing in network adapters and when i try to reinstall my lan driver it gives an error that lan card in deep sleep mode.
I am gonna go mad please help me whoever is reading this.....

HamzaFarooq,
Sorry to hear the situation.
If the previou version is working good, then currently please consider to stay on that build.
For Windows 10 build 10130, there is WIFI issue stated in this build. We should install Updates to make it work again.
If available, download the following KB and install it manually:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3069068?wa=wsignin1.0
Using Microsoft Update Catalog to download:
https://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=Windows%20insider%20preview
Based on what you have mentioned, it seems to be a little hard to check Windows Update at the current situation.
If you would like to reinstall Windows 10 build 10130, then please download the Windows 10 build 10130 ISO.
Or we may try to refresh/Reset.
For the Deep sleep mode, which in my opition it should be related with BIOS. Check at your manufacturer side and see if they could offer any further help.

I haven't started using Power BI yet, but one thing I am finding difficult is getting a definitive list of technology dependencies. There are now multiple BI components available that use various incarnations of Office / SharePoint and, despite the plethora of documentation, it seems to be hard to hard to figure out what bits work together.
For example I have read both that Office 365 is only a cloud based solution and, elsewhere, that it can be 'on premise'. If it is on premise, is it the same as Office 2013?
Does Power Bi work with both? What version of SHarePoint would the on premise version work with?
Does anyone know of a single document that presents clearly, which bits work where and with what?

So, it's been 1 year since nobody replied to this post. And i'm stuck also, as I have no idea how to "activate power BI" for my sharepoint. I don't even have it in the list of apps, under sharepoint sites...
Is it there where it should be? Did I not buy the right license for it? What license am I supposed to get in order to be able to use Power BI on sharepoint sites on an existing account?
I already signed up on the power bi website for a new account, and there I received a trial office 2013 pro plus, and a trail for power bi. But that didn't give me a license for sharepoint and for my mailboxes, as I already have an existing account with E3 licenses.
Thank you,

This probably belongs in its own thread as opposed to a reply to a moderator welcome message, but basically what you need to do is the following:
You should see Power BI for Office 365 listed in your health area
Next, go to your licensing for your user: Users | Active Users in left-hand nav and bring up the properties for the your user account and then click Licensing in left-hand nav. Make sure you check the box for the Power BI for Office 365 license. Note that if you already have a SharePoint Online Plan 2 license, you will need to click the drop down to expand the Power BI license section and then uncheck SharePoint Online Plan 2.
Now, a couple ways to get there. Go to the waffle icon in the top-left and choose "Power BI"
Over in the right-hand nav you should see a section called "Power BI Sites" and you should see a button for "explore site".
The other way is to go to your SharePoint Online site and in the left-hand nav you should see a link that says "Power BI".
A third way is to use the gear icon in the upper right corner and choose "Site Contents" and you should see a green "Power BI" icon.

Migrating from SBS 2008 to Server 2012 with Exchange running as VM
I have a client with SBS 2008. I want to upgrade their server to server 2012 and run Exchange as a VM using Hyper V. I use the term "upgrade" loosely. The main problem I've always had upgrading servers is that migrations tend to be problematic and creating a whole new domain means all new profiles on the workstations and spending hours and hours moving desktop and document items manually. So my question is in two parts:
What is the most efficient way to move my client from SBS 2008 to the configuration mentioned above? Should I migrate or setup an entirely new domain?
If I create an entirely new domain, what is most efficient way to move old profiles to new at the workstations?
Are there any software products on the market that could make this move easier?
Is there any technical documentation from Microsoft that shows step by step how to migrate this situation?
Thanks in advance for your time!

SIMPLE QUESTION: CAN RDS REALLY REPLACE CITRIX TODAY?
Hello everybody!
Yes, I know there was a lots of discussions like this, but here I would like to review this from Enterprise perspective. What it means? Well, from the perspective of the large enterprise organization with more than 50,000 employees. I know RDS very well, and I know it works amazingly well for the mid-size company like 1,000 people because in average you are looking for 50-60 people login via RDS which means you can have literally one good server with 32GB memory and you are done. But what about when you have thousands of "Active" remote users?
I would like to start with one example. APP provisioning. Yes, it is easy to do. If the APP is actually installed you can use fancy GUI (and honestly I like new GUI from 2012 R2) to add (publish) an APP to users, or (if the APP is not actually installed - e.g. shortcut to external .EXE file, or just a WEB APP URL) you can use PowerShell instead. It is quick an easy on one server, but what if you have 20 or even 50 servers and you need to do this 50 times? Is that something can be automated?
Another thing. Yes, yes, I'm talking about Citrix Receiver. And Yes, I'm well aware that Microsoft bought iTap as basis for remote desktop apps so they came up to Android and Apple market with the client right away. And client not bad, I tried and I like it. Most important that client provides "APP streaming" feature when you actually don't have to get remote desktop - something that many administrators trying to avoid these days. Use APP publishing and streaming instead.
Just wanted to mention Chrome OS. Yeas this is special animal by itself. This is not Android, and it does not have a "free, vendor-provided" RDP client. But Citrix does have client for Chrome OS - it was launched last year, Google and Citrix did it together. What is the impact? Well, one of the possible options that is being considered is to use Chrome OS devices as Thin Client for Remote Access. Chrome Books are nice inexpensive replacement for expensive Windows Laptops, and Chrome Box is good replacement for more expensive Desktop computers. But missing RDP client makes this "mission impossible".
On the other hand I have a feeling that I might know why Microsoft won't really want to make a client for Chrome OS. Because if they do, guess what can happen? Large organizations like mine will buy a lot and Chrome devices (Books and Boxes) which defeat the main purpose - dominate the world of personal computing. So this is the big dilemma - release (and lose market to Google Chrome Things) or not to release (and lose market to Citrix because if company wants to use Chrome Things the only way is to have Citrix on the back).
So the bottom line question is: CAN RDS REALLY REPLACE CITRIX TODAY?
Any suggestions, thoughts or comments are welcome!
- Changed type Amy Wang_ Tuesday, July 21, 2015 6:14 AM Discussion regarding RDS Prospect
Reply:
yes
if you know the history of citrix you know that citrix leverages the underlying RDP engine and just adds its own overlay on top of it, costing you not only RDS CALs but also citrix licensing on top. the other big issue is being constantly stuck in the middle between both vendors when an issue arises.
as far as scalability and capacity I would say RDS without all the Citrix overhead should be even leaner and therefore perform better either on physical or virtual servers including high availability options for the broker and web front-end components.
printing and other device redirections have also improved greatly in 2012 R2 and will only get better in 2016 when the next server version is released although MS' main focus is now on Azure RDS which is a great solution on its own.
app publishing either through the web or the built-in remote app desktop connection has become very simplified in 2012 R2 compared to 2008 R2 where you had to package applications and digitally sign them. you can have your pool of RDS hosts and publish the same application across that pool as long as the app is installed in the same absolute path on all servers.
App-V is still around for app streaming. citrix itself no longer has a native app streaming option and is directing customers to go to App-V:
I haven't used chromeOS but I will say that 2012 R2 introduced the biggest cross-platform change with their RDWeb component which allows browsers other than IE to use the remote web apps feature, meaning no ActiveX required. some small limitations are still there if not using ActiveX but Firefox, Safari and Chrome can now use it:
http://www.rdsgurus.com/rds-resource/working-with-rd-web-access-in-windows-server-2012/
this may not be what you're looking for with chromeOS and I realize there is no RDP client yet even though Android and iOS have an RDP client so maybe something is in the works but you can use the web apps to work around it.
I've setup RDS environments from scratch at very large enterprises and can attest that it will absolutely replace citrix. I think the only companies still using citrix are corporations large enough to be able to afford it and do not want to risk breaking off their loyalty/partnerships with citrix - could also be that they stick to citrix because of their VDI component.
I would highly encourage testing RDS out in any case as every environment has its unique requirements but RDS has come along way to catch up to citrix and is very close in surpassing it in the rich feature set it brings to end-users

I am not sure how many of you has heard of or used the SharePoint 2010 Productivity Hub. One of the best resources Microsoft has put out in my opinion for Microsoft products in general. I know 2013 is just starting to ramp up, but I am going to get the fires lit so we can see this for the newest version of SharePoint. Microsoft, on behalf of the SharePoint community I ask that you continue to make available this great resource for SharePoint 2013.
Thank you in Advance!

Hi,
I put the question to the MS crew responsible for developing training materials back in November last year, below is the response. I have put the question again and am waiting for a definitive answer, will get back to you as soon as I find out more.
===
We have approximately 30 courses planned
for the IW audience. One course, Introduction to Document Libraries, is already
available for download at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/redir/XT103693362.aspx?queryid=d7b98c09%2Da79d%2D4ac8%2D956b%2D8abfb41b7990&respos=1&CTT=1.
Additional courses will roll out between now and Februrary and cover blogs, team sites, public website, communties, docs & records, and social. I'd love to know what kinds of courses these clients are looking for. If the requests don't match what we have planned, we'll certainly revisit our list to see if we can provide what customers are requesting. <o:p></o:p>

Cheers

We also are very interested in the Productivity Hub for 2013. Ideally, it would be helpful to have an install package that would just update the SharePoint 2010 SP1 Productivity hub with the 2013 content. This will allow early adopters to get a look at upcoming technology. Is there a central place to keep track of new developments?
Thanks - David

I have just completed an upgrade of the Productivity Hub 2010 site to 2013 using a database attach method, as there is no direct upgrade.
Had to upgrade database then site. all appears to be working, a few cosmetic changes renaming security groups.
Just need to add some 2013 content, some of which is available here

Microsoft - how about an official statement? I still haven't found anything on this, maybe I just haven't found it but it would be nice to learn of any plans or Reasons not to provide a productivity hub for 2013 or 2016 (now that we are so close to that launch).
The concept is good, many people need it, use it, and many more would if they knew about it.

Error enabling NetFx3 feature offline Server 2008 R2
I have a software application I want to be installed after deploying Server 2008 R2 (any edition) but it requires .Net Framework 3.0 to be present. If I try to use DISM to enable the feature, it returns an error. This is the command I used:
DISM -IMAGE:c: -ENABLE-FEATURE -FEATURENAME:NetFx3 -SCRATCHDIR:c:\temp
and this is the error I receive:
Error: 0x800f080c
Feature name NetFx3 is unknown.
Using -GET-PACKAGES on the offline image shows NetFx3 is disabled. I tried to search for this already and couldn't find any solutions for 2008 R2.
Visio Web Part: Send Shape Data to document library
I have a visio web part with document categories like "network", "support", "system engineering",...
This visio web part has a connection to a document library.
When I click on the different names on the visio web part, the document library filters the documents.
Now i try to make a button called "any", that will clear the filter or send any categories in one string to the library.
Is that possible?!?
Thanks for your help
Sven

Phishy survey email
Today I received an email, supposedly from Microsoft, stating this:
Hello, Windows Insider –
We hope you're enjoying the Windows Insider Program.
We want to continue to provide the best Insider experience we can, so we're asking Insiders like you to take a few minutes and complete a short survey. This survey will help us update the Insider experience since the survey we sent out last year – and it includes several new questions to help us deliver even more of what's important to you.
Survey results are anonymous unless you choose to provide your name.
To proceed with the survey, please click the link below or copy into your Internet browser:
This was sent by "Windows Insider Program <windowsinsiderprogram at e-mail dot microsoft dot com>". I don't mind providing feedback, but the survey was hosted on instant.ly which I'm not familiar with, the link in the email displays instant.ly but actually links to microsoftemail.com and the first question in the survey is "what is your email address?".
It all seems fake to me and I'm ignoring the survey, even if it actually is from Microsoft.

By phishy I meant it seems like phishing, I didn't think it's actualy phishing.
My main annoyance with this is I receive this type of email almost daily, and I can't understand that of all the tools Microsoft has in the Insider program they chose a survey not hosted by Microsoft that starts off with asking personal information that Microsoft should already know since I provided it with my Insider registration.

OWA in "Offline" mode can also be used when you have no Internet connection. When you turn on "Offline" use, a local copy of your mailbox data is created.
