SURFACE 2 REQUESTING A STARTUP PASSWORD WHICH I Hve never has or used help i canot get in
I recently had a supposed Microsoft team put up a constantly blinking and talking block on my surface 2 saying if I didn't take care of the viruses on my computer that microsoft would have to shut it down. So I called the number and received instructions to help me with the virus. what happened was they got control of my computer and proceeded to tell me if I didn't pay them 200.00 right now they could not fix my machine!! when I got in their face a little, telling them I needed my computer returned to where they first blocked it that is when they really got rude !!! Now I knew that they were not with your support people because your employees would NEVER speak to a customer the way they did to me.
I ended the call and my surface screen went all blue then a small box came on with this: " This computer is configured to require a password in order to start up. Please enter your start up password below" then underneath is has ok or restart that's it!!!! I have never had to have a startup password or used one in the entire 2 years I have had the Surface pro 2. please help me I know that the malware people did this to my computer hoping I would call back and pay them
. I will get all their info together and report them to Microsoft they are misrepresenting themselves and taking advantage of old people they think don't know any better then to let them In. I DIDNT!!!! THANK YOU L ALEXANDRIA DEFALCO 68YEARS OLD

NPS Network policy: multiple entries in "Tunnel-Pvt-Group-ID"
in Windows2012R2 Network Policy Server usually a single vlan ID is set in "Tunnel-Pvt-Group-ID".
There's the option to define multiple vlan IDs and I found out I've got a network policy defined this way. You may move the vlan IDs "up and down" like "if the first vlan ID assigment fails, try the second one" but I don't understand HOW a vlan assigment could fail.
Does anybody faced this before and could explain how it works?
thanks in advance
CCleaner leaves 500MB of windows.old behind.
I posted a similar thread some time ago about the same issue on an older preview build.
Too lazy to find it. So, I am posting it again. This time on on the current preview build 15007.
CCleaner removed most of the windows.old files but left about 500MB untouched and therefore windows.old folder was still present in the root drive.
I had to run the built-in Disk Cleanup to remove the folder and what were left behind. See screenshot below........

windows 10 always shut down after turning off windows defender
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11BUgtIl3EM&t=4s&list=LLNcEuL-dmvW4nTIxWFNum3g&index=3
after I turn the windows defender off using that (link above) method, my pc constantly shut down by itself though I have turn the defender on using link in its description. I also have format and reinstall windows 10 but it still happens. any help???
Reply:
Well why disable Defender? What anti-virus do you have? If other av installed that will (should) disabled Defender.
The reg key is a hack I would say, most likely Windows knows it has been changed and either thinking it has been compromised or it is broken shutdown.

The Adobe flush player plugin Vulnerabilities and back-end programmers' maliciousness
This software will not be scrutinized by an anti-virus or malware program. Hackers can write scripts that will not respond to your browser and have them run in flush plugin using the RPC function in Windows to hack into your device. The unresponsive script will have a similar function to a warm or Trojan virus but, being a scripts within a flash plugin, it the malicious program is undetectable to anti-virus, anti-spyware and ant-malware programs. The scripts will make your browser hang frustrating any heavy internet user.

Powershell: need example for try-catch-finally where finally is a must
My Example, Note: $ErrorActionPreference is continue
try { $value = 5 / 0 } Catch{ write-output "illegal operation" } $t = Get-Date Write-output ("operation is done at " + "$t") The reason is I need to know where -finally clause become necessary vs just put -finally clause no matter what.
Thanks

The purpose of the Finally block is to run code even if the Try block encountered a terminating error, which would otherwise abort the script. If you use $ErrorActionPreference continue, then perhaps there is no need for a Finally block, since execution will always continue (I assume).

assume you open a file in the "Try" block and then an error occurs. You can close the file in the "Finally" block.
There are many times when we want to always execute code even when there is no error.

Hi Richard Mueller,
Continue is the default value for $ErrorActionPreference.
(5 / 0), this is a terminating error because the catch clause caught the error.
I still don't understand where there is finally clause because without it, my script will continue.
thanks
Liang
------------------------------------
Reply:
Jrv, please provide an example (with actual script) that demonstrated the finally clause is necessary. Without finally clause, the script will stop and won't execute remaining codes.
thanks
Liang

Reply:
Without the Finally the script will not stop.
Suppose you want to do some work in Try. If there is an error you want to continue but clean up the try effect. If the code succeeds then ther is no need to do anything but continue - no clean up is necessary.
If you search you will find hundreds of examples in C#, VB.Net, JavaScript, etc..
To use Try/Catch you must use ErrorAction Stop and only that.
If you don't have a use for Finally then just ignore it until you have code that requires it. It is an advanced technique that is seldom used in PowerShell.
\_(ツ)_/
------------------------------------
Reply:
I have not experimented with -ErrorActionPreference Continue, but if you are correct that it continues after terminating errors, then you are correct that a Finally clause is not needed. But of course, the rest of your script may not make sense if the terminating error results in something being Null that you later expect to use.
Without the preference, a terminating error stops the script, but first the Finally clause runs to clean things up. This could be closing files or gracefully closing Excel, for example, so things aren't hanging in memory.
I don't recall seeing the Finally clause used, and I have not used it myself. But then, I don't recall getting terminating errors. I generally use Try clauses to trap things I expect could happen, then use break to exit and abort the script, as it may make little sense to continue.

Are you migrating from Exchange 2003 ? Is there any older version than Exchange 2010 in the organization ?

Moved WSUS SUBDB to different SQL Instance. Config manager fail to synch with error Code 2168851714
Hi Team,
Due to some urgent requirement, we had to move WSUS DB (running SUP) from one SQL named instance to new SQL instance.
WSUS/SUP remains same only WSUS SUPDB is moved. No SUP role installation/or reinstallation is done after DB movement.
While synching from Config manager 'Synchronize Software updates' console , we are started getting attached error. I was going through some articles but seems those are not available now.
Could anyone suggest what should be done here to resolve the issue. I am sure its a unique issue and anyone from the team must have faced it... Any inputs will be appreciated. Thanks
Regards,
Reply:
Which Instructions/Guide did you follow to move the WSUS Database?
What happens if you try to open the WSUS Console?
Only one error code doesn't realy help...
- Edited by Michael-CM Thursday, January 12, 2017 9:52 AM

Reply:
The simplest thing to do is to remove the SUP, uninstall WSUS, Reboot, Install WSUS , install the SUP.
How did you tell WSUS that you moved the db? What rights did you grant the WSUS services on the new SQL instance?

Task sequence with Diskpart command
Hi all,
I am just wondering if anyone has used CMD within the task sequence to clean the disks in the beginning of the task sequence...
Due to the reasons that we're using Symantec desktop encryption, we required to clean disk (within diskpart) so that rest of the task sequence can run.
Cheers

Script launched by Group policy only executed after 7-10 seconds
Dears,
Could someone help to find out how I could resolve the following issue.
I'm running windows server 2012 R2 via a remote desktop connection. We have a login script that we would like to be applied immediately when the desktop is shown to the end users. Currently It takes between 7 and 10 seconds before this script is launched.
So the script is called via the following definition in the group policy. It creates an entry in the registry and this entry is executed only after 7-10 seconds.
General
| Action | Update |
Properties
| Hive | HKEY_CURRENT_USER |
| Key path | Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run |
| Value name | Runlogin |
| Value type | REG_SZ |
| Value data | <Path to the file>\Login.cmd |
I have already tried to put at server level the same entry in the registry manually, I have also tried to define a local group policy by using the logon entry (Computer configuration - administrative templates - system - Logon -Run these programs at user logon) but all my attempt failed. This simple script is just running after 7-10 seconds after the desktop is shown to the end users.
Does anybody already encountered similar issue ? Any tips is more than welcome.
