Vitualization vs Cloud
Reply:
Virtulization is one of the features of cloud. You can build your own private cloud or public cloud or hybrid all will need to be in a virtualizated environment. That said to really benefit from Cloud , you need to use the features like pay as you go, Auto scale up and scale down, Pay per service etc

Is this a joke - personal blacklist
So I have an IP never listed as blacklisted any where in the world.
Mail server with a perfect score and no problem sending whatsoever.
And then I send to an Exchange mail server:
Access denied, banned sending IP.
Next thing I do will be to ban everyone with windows platform to visit my website, if not whitelisted manually
Thank you very much Microsoft for creating problems where there isn't :D

This should be normal. The Version of Windows Defender that ships with Windows 10 1607 is indeed 4.10. The latest Version of System Center Endpoint Protection, which provides the Management Layer for Windows Defender on Windows 10, is however 4.9.
Windows Defender and SCEP are actually two different things on Windows 10. As said, SCEP provides the Management Layer for Windows Defender on Windows 10.

DFS Backlog Check and Alerting script
Plagiarized most of this (credit to Kamal - no last name posted that I could find). Shared this before but I added some email alerting if the backlog count is over 1000. Sharing again for others.
Pulls all the DFS replication folders and groups on domain. Checks all directions. I set this up on one of the DFS servers to run ever 2 hours. Takes about 10-15 minutes to run but so far so good. This does require the firewall to be open between the DFS servers (or from where you run the script). This would not run on my computer since DFSRDIAG uses dynamic RPC ports. Best best is to just run it on DFS server. If you have any issues I would make sure that dfsrdiag works locally.
Also other issue I ran into - the scheduled task - cant use a regular user because it needs WMI etc access on all DFS Servers. Easiest solution is to make your domain user a member of the local admins group on the servers. If one of the DFS servers is a DC... well then it would need domain admin rights. I found a few articles on giving a regular user access to dfsrdiag... and none have worked. Couldn't get around it.. the user you use for scheduled task needs to have permissions on all DFS servers.
Also not sure why this shows that half the script is comments but it isn't...

WMI Offline Files - last sync date
Hello everyone
I'd like to use the Offline Files WMI Provider Reference (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb309180(v=vs.85).aspx) to query when each user on my domain last connected and synced their offline files. I'm struggling to figure out how to do this though. Has anyone managed to do this before?
Regards
Scott

So we have our users on active directory, but most of them work remotely.
Each of them has a "home folder" mapped on their AD profiles as a "Z:" drive on their laptops. They store their documents, work etc. in this folder (similarly to the way home users use their "my documents" folder), and are expected to periodically connect to the VPN to allow the folder to sync. This is to make sure their files are backed up if their laptops get lost/stolen etc. It works really well when they actually remember to perform the sync.
Rather than manually trying to figure out if each of them (there are more than a hundred) has synced every day, I want to write a PS script to run through each AD user and check when they last connected and synced. The offline files WMI provider seems like a good place to start, but I'm struggling to figure out how to:
A) loop through all users on AD
and
B) once I have all the users, check the last offline-files sync date for each of them

So far I'm just iterating over the WMI classes available manually (using WMI explorer). I've also fiddled around with some C# code using LDAP connections, but I suspect that is the wrong direction.
Manually checking directory last-updated times could be an option, but it doesn't make sense if they haven't actually made any changes on their local machines - it then looks like they haven't synced.

Powerpoint
RPC server is unavailable.... Please help!
Hi All,
Just a bit of a background before I dive into the issue itself... I have been looking to perform an asset audit on end user machines, and I had the idea to use a script in CMD to check the details I need and can be subtly run over the network without the need to go to the physical machine. This script worked on some machines however on others I was greeted with the error:
Node - computer1
Error:
Description = The RPC server is unavailable
I ran the same script on a different machine and received the same error, on both machines and our server I checked to see if the RPC services where running and they were. The machines I were ping-able as well so I know they are both on and connected to the network. I'm not sure if its an issue with the way Windows firewalls are configured, or whether there is an issue with the RPC service on the server.
Please help!
Thanks In Advance
Zak
Powershell on scheduled task fails with "The last run of the task was terminated by the user 0x41306"
Hi, i have created a script that i schedule to run a few times a day copying files around servers.
Sometime the same script might be running 2-3 times at the same time.
Sometimes the schedule task that runs the script failes with the error:
"The last run of the task was terminated by the user 0x41306"
Nobody has stopped the task.
Could it be because they are running at the same time?
Is weird because most of the time they don't fail and i know they run at the same time ( i set it for testing to run simultaneously)
Thanks
Reply:
Hi,
It sounds like the Script is returning that error code for some reason.
This error message is actually a code for the task scheduler (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa383604%28v=vs.85%29.aspx):
SCHED_S_TASK_TERMINATED 0x00041306 The last run of the task was terminated by the user. So if the PC is shut down whilst the script is running, that would also cause this error.

Hi, I know that is a code for task scheduler, but the thing is that the server wasn't restarted and nobody terminated the task.
The tasks call 1 powershell script that moves files between servers.
Is is possible that if multiple tasks call the same script at the same time it returns this error?
Thanks
------------------------------------
Reply:
It is possible to have more than one instance of a script running. But if the script does something like "delete the logfile that is already in use by the other process", that could be the issue. What is your script doing other than hust copying files?

Hello,
I'm having the same problem with a weekly backup task on different HyperV servers. Strange thing this does not always happen on the same machine.
According to me it's caused by the a "condition" see tab in the properties of you Task.
Mine had to do with "Power" setting. Start only if the computer is on AC and stop if the computer switches to battery.
Server had a communication problem with the UPS, so the server switched sometimes to Battery and back.
Just uncheck these (or other according to your situation) and try again.
regards
Koen

Hi,
Your Task is triggered in user context and if you have „stop task if it runs longer than: " than the User stops the task after that time. Check the "stop setting" under Advanced settings or try giving the task a bit more time.

Hi ,
Try these settings and ensure that you provide the right user credentials with "Change User or Group"

Hi there,
Try and run a transcript on the scheduled task, hopefully this will give you more information as to what is going wrong.
$dateStamp = [datetime]::Now.ToString("ddmmyyyyHHmm") Start-Transcript -Path "$env:TEMP\ScheduledTaskDebug_$dateStamp.txt" ## Code Goes Here, Use '-Verbose' where possible. Stop-Transcript

Why I couldn't get MVP
Hi. so many times I have answered in forums. Uploaded few contributions and Scripting codes. Made changes on some wiki articles. Last year tried to nominate myself as MVP and nothing has changed. I would like to ask, do I need to prepare video lessons to get MVP or to answer in forums enough for nomination? Since I have started to answer on some questions I didn't receive any MVP status. Although I know some other colleagues has got MVP 3-4 times. And from their activity I see that they only have answered few questions and prepared 1-2 videos. Again I would like to ask "DO ALSO I NEED TO PREPARE VIDEO LESSON or LESSONS TO GET MVP" or ONLY FORUM ACTIVITY ENOUGH?
Thanks.

Hi Khalid,
These thoughts are just personal but I think that Microsoft looks at a high level of consistent work across an entire year.
You may want to look at the MVP Search page (https://mvp.microsoft.com/en-us/MvpSearch) and see what current MVPs are doing. They may regularly operate a blog or video channel. They may host a user group, train, or lead webinars. They may write books or answer online questions.
If your goal is to become an MVP, stick with it and emulate those who are successful. But do not make your focus all about the MVP. Focus on helping others - building a community - improving yourself. If you are awarded an MVP, awesome! If not, you will get a ton of experience and get share your knowledge with many others. Either way, you win!
Good luck!
Joseph
