Connect website denies service

The Connect website exhibits a lot of delay and failed connections recently.

It's hard to file issues if a web request to Connect takes several minutes or isn't even possible because the Connect web server is shutting down the connection prematurely.


Still people out there alive using the keyboard?

Working with SQL Server/Office/Windows and their poor keyboard support they seem extinct...

container vs appv

any thoughts on App-v and Containers coexistence coming with Server 2016?

Could Containers replace App-V technology?


--- When you hit a wrong note its the next note that makes it good or bad. --- Miles Davis


Reply:

Containers and App-V are very different use cases. Containers is about back-end server applications and App-V is for delivering end-user applications.

Containers is a better approach for the same use cases that Server App-V was targeting.

I agree with Aaron.

Also, if anything takes over for App-V, eventually it may be whatever Microsoft is cooking up with Project Centennial but that remains to be seen.

just started to touch 2016 TP3 and containers (building lab).

If I understood correctly a container is portable "ball". So theoretically, it could be delivered to the client...

Don't have time to concentrate on this now. But want to have maximum understandable info before the lab will be ready.

Reply:

alternatively, since you're using the server-side APIs, you could've used the BCS APIs directly, instead of relying on the external list.

Also, keep in mind that BCS has number-of-record (item) limitations... so depending on the data, it may be VERY much more appropriate to use an ETL tool designed for such tasks.

SSIS + varchar(max) issue

I have a variable of type string in SSIS which I want to set using ExecuteSQL task which is returning XML as string varchar(max).  But when using varchar(max) the variable is not getting set and I found similar threads that SSIS doesn't understand varchar(max).  Now then I tried changing my SSIS variable to Object type, but still the varchar(max) string returned from the executsqltask is not being set!  I am looking if there is any workaround on sql server side (within ExecuteSQLTask) or SSIS side to solve this issue.  Please help.

Hi Mkp27,

Changed the ResultSet option of ExecuteSQLTask from FullResultSet to SingleRow and changed the data type of the variable from String to Object it seemed to solve the issue

Can you please explain what do you mean by "string returned is not being set in object type variable" ?

Configure the Execute SQL Task to save the value in an object variable (result set to full result set) and then use a for each loop to iterate through the object variable and save the actual value in a string variable.

[Forum FAQ] Copy selected list items URL to clipboard and send via email

Unable to reset the ADFS 3.0 Illustration back to the ADFS 3.0 default

Hi There,

I'd set the ADFS 3.0 Illustration page to a custom one. However, I now need to set it back to default.

The Illustration page was by default -> {[, System.Byte[]]}

However when I reset it to @{}. It didn't set it back to the above. And If I try setting it to the above, it gives a syntax error.

This is causing the Illustration 3.0 page to show as plain blue, without the default style.

Can you kindly help me restore it back to the default please?

Dhcp server installed but with error 0x800706ba rpc service unavalible

Hi all ,

Dhcp server installed but with error 0x800706ba rpc service unavalible is the error i get when i installed dhcp server on server 2008.

cant manage it at all.

Help Please...


Reply:

An RPC error is a classic error that can be caused by one of the following:

  • The computer is blocked by some sort of local firewall and/or antivirus service blocking necessary communications.
  • The machine may be multihomed (multiple IPs, unteamed NICSs, and/or RRAS is installed).
  • DNS Lookup errors: If the DNS addresses are set to use an ISP's DNS server, it will be very problematic and will cause other issues, too. ALL machine in AD must only use the AD DNS servers to insure everything works properly.
  • The "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper" service isn't running.
  • The "DHCP Client Service" is not running
  • The "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)" service is not running on the remote computer.
  • The "Windows Management Instrumentation" (WMI) service is not running.

To better assist, please post an ipconfig /all of this server, let us know if it is a DC, as well as any Event log errors in any of the logs. Please use the copy/paste function in the event viewer to post the full errors. This information will help us diagnose this issue.

Both DC, DNS. Al is working great except for the DHCP server role.

Same problem, different site? Was a standard followed when installing the system for your customer?

Can you run a net start and post it, please? Let's take a look at what's running, and rather actually, what services are disabled.

Is there an AV or security app in use?

FYI, for future reference, it's not suggested nor recommended to install Exchange on a DC. Here's why, ramifications, etc:

Hi Ace,

Same problem different sites.

Standerd followed : replaced old server 2003 dc and exchange 2003 with new server 2008 and exchange 2010.

used the same spec server at both clients. We use NOD32 AV.

Thanks I am aware of not supposed to run exchange on a dc. i am guilty :)

The wierd thing is , if i open dhcp mmc on the new 2008 server and add the other dhcp server that is still running on the 2003 server, it also doent display and make a red cross over the server as well error cannot find dhcp server.

On the 2003 server open the dhcp mmc and connect to the new 2008 dhcp server and authorize the server but it doesnt want to authorize.

Thanks for posting that info.

Exchange and DCs don't play well together.

As for NOD32AV, does that show up as Eset in Services?

Curious, did you exclude all of the Exchange folders, databases, trans logs, NTDS and SYSVOL folders from NOD? FYI, that's required if using AV on a DC and/or Exchange, or both.

Does NOD have some sort of security protection like a firewall, too? AVs with such features are known to cause problems.

I would like to test to see if NOD is causing the problem. Are youable to uninstall NOD32 AV? If so, please go ahead and uninstall it, restart, then try getting into DHCP.

On another note, I see Acronis is on here. Did you know that DC snapshots are not supported and WILL cause major AD issues if a DC is restored by using a snapshot?

Skype for Business Server 2015 Deployment - Step 2 "Setup or Remove Lync Server Components" complete but without green check mark

Some people may have a strange experience when running the Step 2 of Lync Deployment Wizard, everything was proceeding smoothly during the installation process and the result showed that the installation was completed (Figure 1) without any unexpected exceptions or error messages , but when went back to the main page of the Deployment Wizard, they found that the button still showed as Run and also the green check mark was not displayed.(Figure 2)

Some people tried rerunning Step 2, reinstalling the OS of Edge Server, removing Edge role in Topology, etc… , but the problem still persisted.

Figure 1

Figure 2


Solution:

Ignore it (step 2) and then run Step 3 "Request, Install or Assign Certificates" and Step 4 "Start Services".

After running Step 4, you'll find that all the Lync services are in running status. At this point, go back and rerun Step 2. Wait for the installation process to complete, and then you should see the green check mark to the left of the "Run Again" Button.

Microsoft's PowerShell "Verb Naming Rules"

In
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms714428%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

I find:


Verb Naming Rules The following list provides guidelines to consider when you choose the verb for a cmdlet name: ... ... Do not use the following reserved verbs or aliases.
These verbs are used by the Windows PowerShell language,
or by special case cmdlets provided by Windows PowerShell. o ForEach (foreach) o Format (f) o Group (gp) o Sort (sr) o Tee (te) o Where (wh)

What does this mean?  
Further down in that article I find discussion of the sense in which the verbs Format and Group should be used.


Reply:

All this is stating is a guideline to follow then you are creating your own cmdlets. When you open a fresh powershell session if you run Get-Alias it will show you all of the defaulted Aliases that Powershell is already configured with. This TechNet is just stating as a best practice do not use Verb that are already being assigned by default in Powershell.

Will.


------------------------------------

Hi Larry,

as Will said, this is merely a guideline.

The thing is, as many people write powershell snippets of varying quality and with varying care, it gets harder and harder to keep up with it all. As the number of available commands expands, usability declines - users find it harder to find the correct command and usage may vary wildly.

This trend was recognized early on and standardization was introduced, to reduce this issue. By using name standardization, a user can usually recognize by the name of the command what it will probably do. Specifically, by standardizing verbs, you can recognize just what kind of cmdlet/function you are using (For example, a function with the verb "get" may not do what you want, but it probably won't do anything harmful either). Binding expectations to verbs however will only work, if developers are using the same set of verbs. Thus this guideline. There is nothing that will force you to adhere to this rule, however importing a module with non-standard verbs will trigger a warning (it will function though).

So do yourself a favor and stick to this guideline.

Now about those special notes: You see, the core PowerShell cmdlets do not always adhere to the guidelines. In the paragraph you posted, they explained that this is intentional in these cases.
By reserving these verbs, they can later change any behavior around it, and tell you "we told you so" if you didn't heed the warning.

If you want to see the list of valid verbs, type this into a powershell console:

Get-Verb | Select -Expand Verb | sort

And you'll get an alphabetically sorted list.

Cheers,
Fred

Using PS V3 when I execute

  Get-Verb | Select -Expand Verb | sort

I get  Format and Group  in the list of Verbs.

Does that section of 
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms714428%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
that I quoted earlier that includes Format and Group as verbs we should not use really mean that we should not use Format and Group as verbs ?

Or perhaps, is there a "bug" in that article?

I understand the rationale for encouraging the use of standard verbs, but what I don't understand is why Format, Group and Sort should be avoided. 

The others, ForEach, Tee and Where are actually not English language verbs.


------------------------------------
Reply:

Hi Larry,

hm, good point there. As for English Language Verbs - the note-box at the top of the article describes the difference between PowerShell-Verbs and English-Verbs quite well, I think.

It might have been a good idea to remove verbs from the "accepted" list if we shouldn't use them, but based on historical Microsoft behavior this could still be a very valid exclusion. Many functionalities they reserved were never used, but sometimes they did in fact remember it.

Going through the list of verbs, I'd say ...

  • ForEach: Is a Powershell statement (foreach ($a in $b) and also an Alias (to ForEach-Object). This difference has already caused quite a bit confusion and they recommend not adding to it.
  • Format: This Verb is natively used only with the complex formatting system PowerShell uses. Expecting regular scripters to learn the ins and outs of it would be a bit much, and they may want to change the system at need.
  • Group: A bit stumped here, but its an SQL word and maybe they want to reserve it for when they implement LINQ-style features? Anyway, Group-Object provides for all the grouping features I ever wanted.
  • Sort: This is for good coding practice. Sortable objects should implement the IComparable interface, and then you can simply use Sort-Object.
  • Tee: Dunno, rarely used the cmdlet, never actually saw a need to use the Verb.
  • Where: Same as Group, they might want to reserve it for LINQ-style features. Same as Group though, the features of Where-Object already provide all the features I want.

If anybody has additional insights to provide on the individual Verbs, don't hesitate to add them or correct me :)

Cheers,
Fred

Lock screen widgets do not show info with corporate "require CAD to logon" domain policy

The machine with the enterprise edition is in a domain where "require CAD to login" is enabled. the machine is sucessfully activated.

In the lockscreen<  have the Calendar set to expanded view and the mail and weather to minimum view. No update or notification will come from the machine at all (visual or audio).

Took the machine out of the domain, rebooted and used secpol.msc to set the policy back to is not required. all the lockscreen widgets now work properly.

Never had this problem with Windows 8.1, just with windows 10. Is there some new domain policy that needs to be set? Do not recall seeing one. 

Any help would be appreciated..

Hi TJ,

This should be related with Windows Update.

I tested the "CAD" logon (disabled this policy) on Windows 10 with KB3081438 installed, and the lock screen works as expected, none-domain joined.

Please update and check to see if the update would make any difference at your side.

KB3081438 is applied with the PC restarted and the same results, the "press control+alt+delete to logon" is displayed above the time, however the next upcoming appointment or unread message count is not displayed below the time. This occurs on both the domain joined machine and on a non-domain machine if the policy "Interactive Logon: do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL" is set to disabled.

Version 6.4 was used earlier in the beta process...

Now the version is 10.x

That might me why you see this.

Not 100% sure if 10.x driver are supported in SP2 or you have to wait for vNext. I'll ask and get back to you.

The only current import workaround is to modify the driver, and sign it your self (you need to buy a certificate). I would wait until the fix from Microsoft is provided.

If you need to install a driver during the task sequence right now, you can just put them in a normal package, and call dism during the task sequence to stage them in the drivers store (during the WinPE phase).

But again, I would wait recommending until the fix from Microsoft is released which shouldn't take long.

I've applied CU1 to my 2012 R2 SP1 SCCM instance however I still can't import Windows 10 drivers. Can anyone else confirm this behavior? Note that I've applied the hotfix KB3084586 to correct the large driver package issue.

Environment is running on a fully patched Server 2008 R2 environment.

I'm attempting to import the drivers on the Primary and confirmed that the console is the updated version. Occurring across multiple models as well.

Seeing these errors in the drivercatalog.log (Driver is not applicable to any supported platforms, Code 0x80070661)

Where are you running the console? On the 2008R2 based site server? If so, try on a Win 8.1 (or Win10 even) client. Some driver import issues in the past (to my knowledge) had to do the OS version of the console.

Bingo Torsten! 

Applying KB2837108 and KB2921916 then restarting the Primary Site Server has fixed the issue.

Thanks and really appreciated.

I had attempted to import the drivers from my Windows 10 PC running a patched console install already Jason but thanks also for responding.
