Creating a lot of VMs - Shared/Community Script
So, my need was a little different, so i´v customized a little bit, and there is!
## Based on "PowerShell Script to Create Lots of Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Virtual Machines at Once"
$parentpath = "C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1"
$baseVHDX = "\BASE.VHDX"
$vSwitchName = "EXTERNAL"
$VMName = "VM_"
foreach ($i in 1..200)
{
$VHDXfilename = "$parentpath\$VMName$i.VHDX"
New-VHD -ParentPath "$parentpath$baseVHDX" -Differencing -Path "$VHDXfilename"
New-VM -VHDPath "$VHDXfilename" -Name "$VMName$i" -Path "$parentpath" -SwitchName "$vSwitchName"
## Start-VM "$VMName$i"
}
After some time, my M630 and its 256 GB of RAM was fully loaded with 200 sysprep´d VMs

Hello,
Can you check the events under: Application and Services logs -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Server Essentials->Deployement
Also, Please check if there is some unresolved GUID under the built-in Administrator group or the groups of which the user with which you are logged in to configure Essentials is member of.

Is this a clean install or some form of migration, other DC's.

Can you also check Application events.
Do you see any Service Crashing event ?
There has to be something in event viewer.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that it is failed to install Essentials Experience role on clean installed Windows Server 2012 R2(belongs to WS 2008 domain) with error "an error occurred while configuring Windows Server Essentials. Please try again."
I want to confirm with you that if you want to add the Essentials Experience as a member server of WS 2008 domain. If so, make sure that the user account(which is necessary to entered in Administrator credentials section of Configure Windows Server Essentials wizard) is the member of the Enterprise Admin group, Domain Admin group and Local Admin group on the target server.
Besides, you may check the blogs below for detailed information about Deploying Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard/Datacenter with Windows Server Essentials Experience role in an Existing Active Directory Environment:

in that log I see the error: [916] 150723.032257.6909: ActiveDirectoryAdapter: Failed to get Sid for WSSGroupType RemoteAccess
the server meets the requirements. OS drive is 300 GB and total Disk Space is 3.5 TB
Any suggestions about the above error?

Here is another clue I just found... Every time I retry the configuration, it creates another group in AD called "WSERemoteWebAccessUsersXX" where XX is the number of the retry.
------------------------------------
Reply:
Remove all the group with "XX" there should be only 1 WSERemoteAccessUsers group.
Check all the members of this group is there any unresolved GIUD in there ?
is the user part of this group?
------------------------------------
Reply:
Just to update everyone... Turns out AD on the DC was fubar, and had been for some time. Did not affect day to day stuff, but was preventing any other server from being promoted or changing large swaths of AD. So we accelerated replacing the DC and migrated everyone to a fresh AD setup.
Unrelated, Forensit profile wizard is an awesome product and very reasonably priced... really saved a ton of time.
------------------------------------
Reply:
Glad you got it sorted and a very BIG thank you for letting us know.
Was there anything you did in particular to determine the AD state so it may be saved here eternally :)

Many "things" dont work
So, What should i do?
Group Lifecycle Management Solutions
Hello,
Looking to find out what options are out there for a group lifecycle management solution. Looking to get better control of the groups in AD. What I would like out of this solution is a web interface to create / assign ownership to groups, web interface to add/remove members of groups by end users, and really the key piece is a lifecycle on the groups so that a group owner must confirm on a periodic basis that the group is still required. I would also like to be a pretty much out of the box solution, I know FIM can do most of this but I am looking to investigate other products from other Microsoft Partners if possible.
Thank you for any assistance you may be able to offer.

planning to scale search at enterprise level multi server
Hi Team,
I am writing scripts to create Search Service Application in SharePoint 2013 at enterprise level with multi server in picture using powershell.
I have a small doubt with reference to New-SPServiceApplicationPool commandlet.
Does it creates the AppPool on all the servers in the farm or only on the current server. Why i am asking this question is I want to Create Search Service Application Pool and my search service Application will be scaled across multiple servers so do i need to run this across all server or running on one server is enough.
Thanks Basva
Every Windows Update KB##### should contain a Hyperlink to the corresponding support.microsoft page detailing the update. Please add this
Dear Microsoft developers/managers - if any of you ever come here.
I understand that you're making Windows 10 a service. Therefore, updates are "scary" and people shouldn't think or worry about them. However, this is the IT Pro forums.
I'm not installing a single update on my servers until I've had a chance to vet the update, wait a day or two to make sure it doesn't break anything. Knowledge is power, and right now you're really not making it easy to gain knowledge.
Right now on my Win10 insider preview VM, I see I have some updates available. If this was any other version of windows, there'd be a "support information" hyperlink that would take me immediately and directly to the support page, specifically for the update.
This is now gone. Just completely disappeared. I suppose I should consider myself lucky you haven't hidden KB numbers as well, as those might be "scary" for users and should be hidden too.
I have to copy that KB number, open up a browser, and paste it after https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/ in order to go where I want.
So, thankfully you still have the support pages we need. You just make it really hard to conveniently reach the information page right from the update. I don't want to have to spend the rest of my possibly-not-for-much-longer Windows-using life copying each KB number manually, and pasting it into a browser.
This doesn't make any sense. Why would you take this from us?

Is there any way to fix the usability of Office 365?
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there were some tweaks to make office 365 actually usable. My eyes are pretty decent, but the colors (and even the darker themes) give me an insta-headache. I need to use office. The fonts for the headers and basically everything else is barely readable, despite the glaring whiteness. Thin lines on an excessively white background do no help with ease of reading.
In the meantime, I will see if I can do anything with my ease of access options on my computer and bide my time when I can return home to my installation disc of office 2010. I am this close to just giving up on Microsoft completely and going with apple. I have a iPhone and an iPad, and Microsoft is making staying with them seem less and less appealing. Please help. I'm so sick of this!
Building multi-platform application
Hi All,
My apologies if this is not the correct forum category.
I am trying to build a multi-platform analysis tool with Visual Studio. The idea is that the user can select the analysis criteria, and then the program will present the analysis information (i.e. charts, tables, maps, diagrams etc) based upon one or multiple databases. I am trying to build something interactive and engaging, although my programming experience is limited.
What are the best options, utilising Visual Studio, to support this project?
Many thanks in advance.

Hyper-V vs VMWare - The one and only reason why I still need VMWare
The one. And. ONLY. REASON. I still have to use VMWare Player over Hyper-V (spoiler alert: it's totally stupid). Is because I want to open an RDP session full screen across two, but not three, of my monitors. Since RDP does not allow for a full screen session with a subset of the total monitors available... the solution... use VMWare Player to run a VM across two (but not three) monitors, then within the VM... open an RDP session that is configured to "use all of my monitors for the remote session".
RDP advances over the last few years have been nice. I can create an RDP session using a specified resolution, a full screen, or all of my screens. But it does not allow for two of my three screens!
Why is this important?
Because I work remotely. And like any remote employee, I spend a lot of time in an RDP session. I also spend A LOT of time scouring the web for solutions to the day-to-day problems I'm faced with. Obviously I want the maximum amount of screen real estate for my remote desktop session I can afford, but I also want the best performance possible for my web browsing. Anyone who has ever tried to watch a YouTube video through an RDP session knows....not....to view a YouTube video through an RDP session. Therefore, to get the best of both worlds, my solution is this... dedicate two monitors to the RDP session, and keep one monitor for the local machine. That way I can do things like, I don't know.... watch a video, listen to music, browse the web without wanting to stab somebody, start a video chat... you know.... things otherwise impossible through an RDP session. RDP is great and all, and RemoteFX is really stepping up the game, but there's really no competing with the performance of a local session. The only way I know of at this point in time (7/29/2015 - Windows 10 launch day, and yes I tried this on Win10, and no, Win10 does not solve my problem) is to run a VM in the VMWare Player across two (but not three) screens, and connect my RDP session within the VM. The Hyper-V console provides no such options.
Microsoft gods.... please.... I beg you.... give me the ability to pick how many monitors I want to open my Hyper-V session in (or better yet... let me pick how many screens I want to open my RDP session in)... and I promise you... I will remove all VMWare software from my machine, and never look back. PLEASE!!
how to enable network discovery across vpn
Hi everyone,
I want to know wether there is a specific port number to allow a local computer to discover other computers in the same domain splitted by vpn. I'm working for symantec endpoint security software which uses the windows network discovery to search for computers in the network and deploy security clients to them. I have a customer whose using windows server 2008 r2. He is not able to search for a computer in the windows network but we are able to ping the computer even though it has a vpn inbetween, but if we search fir computer it dosent show it. I want know how to make the clients visible in the windows network search. Does it use any port number which he has to add to the firewall? Immediate reply would be helpful. Thanks
Revert back on defer windows update only for enterprise.
I am the IT Manager for a small company. I maintain the network and computers in the office and on the shop floor.
As it stands I can not upgrade to Windows 10 on any of my machines.
Being a small company and the only IT person for said company, I do not have time to constantly monitor and make changes to computers based on new features. I need feature updates to be deferred indefinitely as I only do refreshes on my boxes every 4 years.
Right now only large volume enterprise contracts get this option. This is simply not fair and a slap in the face to the SOHO community.
Windows update as a whole right now is a slap in the face to business and power users.

Large Number of Lync Conference Session Failures Every 3 Minutes
I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen this issue before. It's new to me.
A client of mine is experiencing extremely high conferencing session failures in Lync. Once looking into the conferences in question, it looks as though one specific users conferences are in question. A conference session for this users Lync meetings are attempting to be joined EVERY 3 minutes, 24 Hours a day with a Response Code of 486 and a Diagnostic Code of 34007. Here is a ScreenShot of 10 Minutes worth of these attempts:
This user is not experiencing any problems in joining meetings on his own and he is the only user listed as having unexpected conference failures.
My thought was to restart the AV Conferencing Service or reboot the Front End Servers but wanted to run this past some other first.
Any thoughts?
