IIS Windows Authentication 0xC000005E
Application is using IIS as the login portal, for internal users can login using 'Windows Authentication' and external users login using 'Form Based' authentication. Users from several domains are able to login, however every once in a while users connecting to the internal website are unable to authenticate themselves using 'Windows Authentication'. A temporary fix is to turn of 'Windows Authentication' and turn on 'Form Based' authentication'.
The following event is logged in the eventvwr on the IIS server: 0xC000005E = STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS
The strange thing is users from the same domain in which the IIS server is configured are able to login, users from other domains are not able to login, even with the correct username and password. However with form based authentication they're able to login.
DCDiag didn't return, also used Wireshark, but didn't see anything strange happening (Not an expert). Also NSLookup didn't return any errors and was able to ping the DC. Turned on Failed Request Tracing and didn't return anything specific except 401.2 not authorized message.
The application is using NTLM for authentication.
Don't have a clue to why this is happening? And why is the event logged on the IIS server and not on the client (No logon servers)? The user should authenticate against a DC right and the webserver shouldn't forward the request?
I'm trying to understand how the authentication process works so i can create a baseline (Wireshark trace) in case if it stops working again.

Hi,
It seems that there is no such group policy exists:

A menthod is to turn off Windows Search like this:

However it will affect all users so it is not the thing you are trying to find.

sorry to drag this up again.. I need a way to remove the search box from a group of machines (don't want to remove the feature by logging on locally, I want to deploy the change using CM).
Anyone know where in the registry the setting is held? Shocked there's no GPO for it!

Possible workaround (only tested briefly on 2008R2 in a locked down RDS enviornment, using a non-admin account)
Enabling these three policies leaves the search bar in place, but it also seems to have effectively disabled most of its functionality. Anything i type into the search box (including desktop, cmd, google, www.google.com, etc) now returns "No items match your search"
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar > Do not search for files
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar > Do not search Internet
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar > Do not search programs and Control Panel items
I have dozens of other policies in place, but I believe these three are what ultimately did the trick.

Try this open source Start Menu - it solved many of the issues we were experiencing with the generic W2K8 Start Menu and gives you the option to remove the search box... and can be easily managed via GPO Preferences Registry settings.

I have enabled those 3 setting above but you can still get to windows explorer by typing a single \
Probably a bit late for your purposes, but the ability to enter a single '\' and list the contents of the C: drive has to do with the Search Bar's ability to function as a 'Run' command. If you disable that, it will no longer work. That setting is here:
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar > Remove Run menu from Start Menu

Workgroup workstation can't resolve name for domain joined server, RDP only by IP address
I have a test environment that includes a hyperv host with a mix of Server 2012 R2 and 2008 R2 VMs all of which are joined to my domain.
I am having trouble RDPing into the 2008 R2 systems from a workgroup workstation. The 2012 R2s are not an issue.
Here's the specifics:
Workstation is pointing to my DNS servers for IPV4 (IPV6 is disabled on all systems)
RDP works with the IP but not the name (no name resolution)
If I disable the firewall on the 2008 R2 systems everything works. (Odd because I assume if this is a firewall issue I would'nt be able to RDP via IP either)
Any suggestions?

Hello Crismo16,
Does your DHCP setting on the network have the Primary DNS suffix of your domain or are you manually setting up your ip addresses for the workgroup machines.
Check if the names resolve using nslookup before disabling the Windows Firewall if not then you need to add an exception for DNS lookup connections (tcp/udp) on port 53 (dns).

Thanks for the response. I'm just using a SOHO router for DHCP. I have set the IP statically however but same result. I tried nslookup and no luck. I've also opened DNS ports in the firewall.

If these Windows Server 2008 R2 systems are DNS servers, then it makes sense.

XPS to PDF issues using Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac
Microsoft Desktop for Mac 8.0.18
Windows Server 2008 R2
-All remote desktop services components installed
-XPS Document Writer installed
OS X 10.9.2 Client
Issue: When connecting to a RemoteApp resource I am able to "print to PDF" through the application's menu. While logged in to a non-administrative user the XPS file will briefly show up on the OS X client desktop but never makes it to PDF form. Confirmed with a second program that uses XPS to write PDF files
This leads me to believe it is a permissions error somewhere in the remote desktop services host.
Any ideas?

So XPS to PDF will work with RemoteApp but not Remote Desktop Client.
Are you using a same user profile in connecting with RemoteApp and RDC?
Also can you do the XPS to PDF with remoting from a Windows system instead of iOS?

Remote Blob Storage will not solve the problem of growing Content DB, right?
Hello, guys!
I have a web application with 2 site collections stored in a single Content Database. Recently I have noticed, that Content DB size have grown up to 100 GB and kept growing (now it is around 130GB). After some analysis I have found out, that we got a huge document library around 70GB at one of the subsites. So, being afraid of Content DB growing up to unsupported limit of 200GB, I decided to move all the binaries from Content DB to the Remote Blob Storage, but today I have noticed the following phrase at Software Boundaries and Limits whitepaper (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787.aspx): "If you are using Remote BLOB Storage (RBS), the total volume of remote BLOB storage and metadata in the content database must not exceed the 200GB limit."
Does it really mean, that my problem will not be solved this way?..
Are there any others opportunities to keep the Content DB from growth without restricting users to upload their documents?
Best regards,
Anton.
Reply:
If the users are uploading their documents, they must be saved somewhere. So content DB size will have to grow. What you can do, is to design strategies around to limit the size of the content database within 200GB.
1. You have two site collections within same DB. You can choose to move one of the site collection to new content database.
2. You can also choose to apply quota template restricting the maximum size of the content database.
3. Since one document library itself is of 70GB, you can move that site into its own site collection and have that site collection in another content database.
4. You should also communicate to end users effectively using document libraries and ask them to upload documents in different libraries.
5. You can also choose to ask users to use different document library/site for archival purposes. Its hard to say that they are using all documents for collaboration purposes actively.
Also supported size limit of content database has grown to 4 TB. But 200 GB limit is for best performance scenarios.
Hope this helps.
Thanks Mohit

RBS still counts against Content Database size, so you're correct, it will not resolve the overall size 'limits' of CDBs.
That said, general purpose (think Team sites) Content Databases can go as high as 4TB without guidance from Microsoft. All you must meet is a minimum of 0.25 IOPS/GB, preferably 2 IOPS/GB. See: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787.aspx
130GB is fairly small. 200GB+ is definitely supported by Microsoft.

PSCustomObject question on creation and behavior in ForEach loop
Please help me understand how this PSCustomObject is getting created, and why it has the (good) behavior it has in the following ForEach loop. After the line executes that populates $Computerobj, I see that this variable is of now of type PSCustomObject. Please explain what is occurring in this line. What is the principle of using 'Select-object' when there are no properties to select at this point?
Also, during each iteration of the ForEach, the PSCustomObject is populated with one-each of Name, Uptime and LastReboot. However; at the point the object/variable $ComputerObj is 'output' to the screen (last line of foreach), it only outputs the 'headings' ONCE, followed by just the dataset for each computer. How does PS know to do this?
$computers = Get-Content c:\temp\computers.txt
}
foreach ($computer in $computers){
$Computerobj = "" | select ComputerName, Uptime, LastReboot
$wmi = Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $computer -Query "SELECT LastBootUpTime FROM Win32_OperatingSystem"
$now = Get-Date
$boottime = $wmi.ConvertToDateTime($wmi.LastBootUpTime)
$uptime = $now - $boottime
$d =$uptime.days
$h =$uptime.hours
$m =$uptime.Minutes
$s = $uptime.Seconds
$Computerobj.ComputerName = $computer
$Computerobj.Uptime = "$d Days $h Hours $m Min $s Sec"
$Computerobj.LastReboot = $boottime
$Computerobj
}

Hi Tony,
Good to see that you are trying to learn PowerShell.
Q1. What is the principle of using 'Select-object' when there are no properties to select at this point?
A. You could say its another way of creating a PSObject in the fly. Whenever you use Select and mistype the parameter name it doesn't give you an error, but instead creates a custom 'NoteProperty' for you.
This is something similar to when you use Calculated Properties or Custom Property etc. That has many usages.
PS > Get-Process powershell | Select Tony,Auby | Get-Member TypeName: Selected.System.Diagnostics.Process Name MemberType Definition ---- ---------- ---------- Equals Method bool Equals(System.Object obj) GetHashCode Method int GetHashCode() GetType Method type GetType() ToString Method string ToString() Auby NoteProperty Auby=null Tony NoteProperty Tony=null PS > Get-Process powershell | Select Tony,Auby, @{n='Me';e={"Hello"}} | gm TypeName: Selected.System.Diagnostics.Process Name MemberType Definition ---- ---------- ---------- Equals Method bool Equals(System.Object obj) GetHashCode Method int GetHashCode() GetType Method type GetType() ToString Method string ToString() Auby NoteProperty Auby=null Me NoteProperty System.String Me=Hello Tony NoteProperty Tony=null You by now must have noticed that the expression before the pipe has little to do if you are not calling anything that its returning, using "" blank string is the easiest way to get a single value passed.
Try these:
Get-Process c* | Select Tony,Auby, @{n='Me';e={"Hello"}}
"" | Select Tony,Auby, @{n='Me';e={"Hello"}}
Here are some preferable methods to create PSObjects
Windows PowerShell: The Many Ways to a Custom Object:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/hh750381.aspx
Q2. it only outputs the 'headings' ONCE, followed by just the dataset for each computer. How does PS know to do this?
A. Its difficult to answer how it does it, basically it trys to guess based on some logic.But formatting is not always as expected, if you have multiple output types or PSObjects to show.
This article PowerShell Basics: Formatting does a good explaination on it.
Best way is the manually specify how and what you want. Simple way is to use
$Computerobj | Format-Table
Try out the following code, with and without '| ft' to understand more.
$Computerobj1 = "" | select ComputerName1, Uptime, LastReboot1 $Computerobj1.ComputerName1 = "Comp" $Computerobj1.Uptime = "200" $Computerobj1.LastReboot1 = get-date $Computerobj1 #$Computerobj1 | ft $computers = "a","b","c" "Hello" "Bing1" "Bing2" foreach ($computer in $computers){ $Computerobj = "" | select ComputerName, Uptime, LastReboot $Computerobj.ComputerName = $computer $Computerobj.Uptime = "100" $Computerobj.LastReboot = get-date $Computerobj #$Computerobj | ft } "Bing3" ComputerName1 Uptime LastReboot1 ------------- ------ ----------- Comp 200 8/7/2015 5:32:45 PM Hello Bing1 Bing2 100 100 100 Bing3 You would notice that, it only takes the first object 'headings' ONCE and ignores the valid values later. If type doesn't fit in, fits the type undefined ones to the first matching value

It does not remove it from the pipeline as you think but causes a pipeline to be executed one for every instance and then passed into the outer pipeline. Measure it and you will see a difference.
If you want to reduce data then do this:
$now = Get-Date Get-Content c:\temp\computers.txt | ForEach-Object{ Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName $_ -Property CSName,LastBootUpTime } | select CSName,LastBootUpTime, @{l='Uptime';e={$now - $_.LastBootUpTime}}
OR
$now = Get-Date Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName (Get-Content c:\temp\computers.txt) -Property CSName,LastBootupTime| select CSName,LastBootUpTime,@{l='Uptime';e={$now -$_.LastBootUpTime}} That reduces data over the network and in the pipeline. THe data formatting and calculation stage is separated as it should be.
I agree that sometimes we mightgain but , in general, the objects in the pipeline do not slow things down.. They are not passed directly but as references so there should normally be little or no loss.

But it is already collected. The memory manager will not help until the pipeline is ended. Why waste time on something that really doesn't help. If you have some strange requirement then this may be something to look at but don't make it a default design pattern.
Best Procatice for scripting. Use native methods so as to take advantage of all future improvements.
Example:
WMF 5 has now added significant improvements to COM activation. Those who may have imp[lamented questionable methods to optimize will not be able to take advantage of the WMF upgrade.

You are inventing a tuning rule that is not needed. The design pattern should be to place all data selection at the end of the pipeline. Placing it in the loop seldom creates more efficiency. As WMF become more optimized predictable design patterns will be better positioned to take advantage of the improvements.
I am not saying "never". I am saying don't let superstition complicate a script. Using the-Property argument of a CmdLet selects the properties at the source. Using a select just adds extra work and does not save memory as the objects have already been created.

Font rendering on Windows 10
Hello I recently updated to Win10 from win Win7. (Sorry my english but I'm italian)
I noticed immediately the different font rendering from the metro apps (start menu, edge, settings..) and the classic Cleartype still present but only in standard desktop app (firefox, Windows livemail, iexplorer, and all other NOT created for metro interface).
From what I read Cleartype use colored subpixel antialias, while win10 Matro app uses monocrome antialias.
IMHO Cleartype is better for a standard desktop LCD monitor, because DPI (PPI) is not so high even on a full hd 24 inch. Cleartype render always better on my monitor.
It's not good to se a new OS with a not omogeneous font rendering. Many desktop users will notice this bad fonts.
Moreover I now prefer Firefox to Edge because of that ...
is it possible to force somewhere cleartype also for the Metro Apps ?
If not, it would be good to have an option with an update to do that ...
Thanks

Solution for slow login and logout on a terminal server
Of course, this may not solve your particular problem, but if you check this out, you will be able to immediately tell if this is your problem.
I recently had a Terminal Server that when people logged in, it just about crippled the server, and it was also extremely slow to log out. It turns out that there can be thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of HP keys in the following locations in a terminal server environment. They are dynamically added when users log in due to their local printers. Over time, they add up, and can cause great problems. So you can determine if you have the problem by just checking those locations.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hewlett-Packard
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\Install\Software\ Hewlett-Packard
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\ Hewlett-Packard
Even after deleting them, which can be done safely (if you have any doubts, export the key first, then test), eventually the problem will return, so here is my solution:
Create the following registry script in the C:\Windows\system32 directory and name it CleanupHP.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Hewlett-Packard]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\Install\Software\ Hewlett-Packard]
Create the following registry script in the C:\Windows\system32 directory and name it CleanupHP_User.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hewlett-Packard]
Then create the following batch file in the C:\Windows\system32 directory and name it CleanupHP.bat
regedit /s C:\ Windows\system32 \CleanupHP.reg
Create the following batch file in the C:\Windows\system32 directory and name it CleanupHP_User.bat
regedit /s C:\ Windows\system32 \CleanupHP_User.reg
Open gpedit.msc and go to Computer Configuration>Windows Settings>Scripts and add “C:\ Windows\system32 \CleanupHP.bat” to the shutdown scripts.
The go to User Configuration>Windows Settings>Scripts and add the second script C:\ Windows\system32 \CleanupHP_User.bat to the logoff scripts.

On Windows 2003 Server or Windows XP, you can install the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service to help close down sessions more quickly when you log out. It closes open file handles, remaps them to the default user, and runs as a service, set to automatic. It starts and stops itself as needed, but does not run continuously. It is not necessary on Server 2008 and Windows Vista and later as it has since been incorporated into the OS as the “User Profile Service”.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=1b286e6d-8912-4e18-b570-42470e2f3582&displaylang=en (Note: The documentation correctly states that version 1.6d will not operate on 64-bit versions, but if you look closely, they are actually up to 1.6g as of this writing, which does support 64-bit.)
I have not yet tested this, but I am hoping that this is also why Microsoft and Windows updates may take so long.
All the best,

Looking into slow application installations (all installations using msiexec.exe process) I found myself gazing at a couple off HP registry entries which where completely out of proportion. Its probably by design for the HP UPD to fill up those entries with all the uid for HP printer products, but come on HP, you make it that my servers crumble and feels like coming to a halt when I try to install the simplest of applications. Even so, printing is also a hasle! I've worked with HP printers for more then a decade now, but this UPD is a total F*cK*p! seriously HP, get your act together and right some descent printer drivers.
I stumbled on this post, which I found to be most helpfull and also comfirming that I am not alone who is facing this problem.
We all know printers are evil, but bad printers drivers are its mothers!
Cheers Kevin.

KCotreau,
You are right on target!
I found over 4700 entries under HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/SOFTWARE/HEWLETT PACKARD.
I exported a copy of the HEWLETT PACKARD folder and then deleted the folder all together.
Installations and uninstalls were taking up to 3 hours. After deleting this folder, less than 5 minutes.

I have wrote two VBS scripts to delete only these garbage registry keys by using regular expression. First is designed to run under user account during logoff process and the second is designed to run under system account during shutdown procedure. There are:
reg_del_hp_keys_user.vbs
On Error Resume Next Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001 strKeyPath = "HKCU\Software\Hewlett-Packard" Set objRegExp = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp") objRegExp.Pattern = "^[a-z0-9]{4,12}-[a-z0-9]{4,12}-[a-z0-9]{4,12}-[a-z0-9]{4,12}-[a-z0-9]{4,12}$" Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\default:StdRegProv") objReg.EnumKey HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Mid(strKeyPath, 6), arrSubKeys For Each SubKey In arrSubKeys If objRegExp.Test(SubKey) = True Then intRes = DeleteRegistryKey(strKeyPath & "\" & SubKey) Next Set objReg = Nothing Set objRegExp = Nothing Function DeleteRegistryKey(parKey) DeleteRegistryKey = RecursiveRegKeyDelete(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Mid(parKey, 6)) End Function Function RecursiveRegKeyDelete(parRoot, parKey) Const con_READ_CONTROL = 131072 Const con_KeyDeletedSuccessfully = 0 Const con_KeyDoesNotExist = 1 Const con_AccessDenied = 2 Const con_SomeOtherError = 3 If objReg.CheckAccess(parRoot,parKey,con_READ_CONTROL) = 0 Then If objReg.EnumKey(parRoot, parKey, arrSubKeys) = 0 Then If Not IsNull(arrSubKeys) Then For i = 0 To UBound(arrSubKeys) RecursiveRegKeyDelete parRoot, parKey & "\" & arrSubKeys(i) Next End If End If intResult = objReg.DeleteKey(parRoot, parKey) If intResult = 0 Then RecursiveRegKeyDelete = con_KeyDeletedSuccessfully ElseIf intResult = 5 Then RecursiveRegKeyDelete = con_AccessDenied Else RecursiveRegKeyDelete = Con_SomeOtherError End If Else RecursiveRegKeyDelete = con_KeyDoesNotExist End If End Function
reg_del_hp_keys_machine.vbs
On Error Resume Next Const HKEY_USERS = &H80000003 strKeyPath = "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Hewlett-Packard" Set objRegExp = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp") objRegExp.Pattern = "^[a-z0-9]{4,12}-[a-z0-9]{4,12}-[a-z0-9]{4,12}-[a-z0-9]{4,12}-[a-z0-9]{4,12}$" Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\default:StdRegProv") objReg.EnumKey HKEY_USERS, Mid(strKeyPath, 12), arrSubKeys For Each SubKey In arrSubKeys If objRegExp.Test(SubKey) = True Then intRes = DeleteRegistryKey(strKeyPath & "\" & SubKey) Next Set objReg = Nothing Set objRegExp = Nothing Function DeleteRegistryKey(parKey) DeleteRegistryKey = RecursiveRegKeyDelete(HKEY_USERS, Mid(parKey, 12)) End Function Function RecursiveRegKeyDelete(parRoot, parKey) Const con_READ_CONTROL = 131072 Const con_KeyDeletedSuccessfully = 0 Const con_KeyDoesNotExist = 1 Const con_AccessDenied = 2 Const con_SomeOtherError = 3 If objReg.CheckAccess(parRoot,parKey,con_READ_CONTROL) = 0 Then If objReg.EnumKey(parRoot, parKey, arrSubKeys) = 0 Then If Not IsNull(arrSubKeys) Then For i = 0 To UBound(arrSubKeys) RecursiveRegKeyDelete parRoot, parKey & "\" & arrSubKeys(i) Next End If End If intResult = objReg.DeleteKey(parRoot, parKey) If intResult = 0 Then RecursiveRegKeyDelete = con_KeyDeletedSuccessfully ElseIf intResult = 5 Then RecursiveRegKeyDelete = con_AccessDenied Else RecursiveRegKeyDelete = Con_SomeOtherError End If Else RecursiveRegKeyDelete = con_KeyDoesNotExist End If End Function Also I've wrote PS script to run via scheduled tasks on terminal server. In my environment it runs every week on Sunday. It does the same things as the second script above:
New-PSDrive -PSProvider Registry -Root HKEY_USERS -Name HKU $RegistryKey = "HKU:\.DEFAULT\Software\Hewlett-Packard\" $KeyOK = ls $RegistryKey -erroraction silentlycontinue if (!$KeyOK) { Write-Host "Registry key is not found." return } foreach($SubKey in Get-ChildItem $RegistryKey) { $KeyPath = $SubKey.PsPath if ($KeyPath -match "^.*\\[a-z0-9]{4,12}-[a-z0-9]{4,12}-[a-z0-9]{4,12}-[a-z0-9]{4,12}-[a-z0-9]{4,12}$") { Remove-Item -Path $KeyPath -Recurse } } Hope this will help anyone :)

Lync integration with Tech Tools
Hey There,
Has anyone done any type of lync integration with tech tools like Jira, Jenkins, Datadog etc? It's pretty easy to do integration using Hipchat or Slack but there doesn't seem to be anything straight forward with Lync......!
I could find one paid connector for Lync and Jira integration but I really want to know how to go about any third party (specifically tech tools) integration using Lync?
I'll appreciate if you could share your thoughts.
Regards,
Pushkal MishrA

Dear Pushkal
We have JIRA and Conflouence integrated with our Lync system and its not giving us any issues.
It is just that the end users will be able to only IM and look the presence in this, But its good since the end users no need to go and look into their Lync clients while doing their work in the JIRA,Confluence
YOu can integrated them on the addon tabs on both of the apps
YOu can decide on your authentication method FB or Windows

yesterday i updated my pc to windows 10 in that windows button, search and store not working please solve my problem
Assuming right clicking at Start button still works ?
If yes, try the following...............
Right click at Start button > select Command Prompt (Admin) > type powershell > press Enter > wait a bit.
At the flashing prompt, copy and paste this.........
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
> press Enter.
Ignore any error in red.
When finished, try Start Menu again.
