In case you have a mix of private and public network profiles use this command.

Enable-PSRemoting -SkipNetworkProfileCheck - Force

SkipNetworkProfileCheck ignores any public network profiles so you can enable remote powershell successfully.

@syko24 free... and useless:

Limitations of the free license:

The free license is limited to five locks per day which means the free edition defends your system against five unique attacks per day. [...] The free license does not contain reporting (like the PRO edition does).

Also, no official support for Windows Server 2016.

@dafyre said in Kooler on DFS-R Issues:

With Starwind's coming Linux release (or has it already been released?)... Would this not be done in a Linux VM? That would eliminate concerns about licensing and such.

StarWind Linux VSA is released

There's no problem to install anything like us into parent partition, question was is it OK to use it as a file server with a free version of Windows

@wirestyle22 You can still do the following as well:

Maybe also move to DFRS instead of FRS, you would only use FRS if it is Server 2003 as part of one of your DCs

Possibly in the future but I have so many other things to focus on

most of what I have been working on for the last week should have worked...

When dealing with computers, should work does not always equal does work, lol.

@Tim_G said in GPO Path?:

@Grey said in GPO Path?:

So, what's the current method to add a single trusted site to my intranet zone in GPO, eh? And where do I modify all of the trusted sites/zones and activex now?

I was answering the above question. Of course these will say not configured, because you haven't configured them yet.

That's the thing though; there is configuration from the previous IT Team.

I should be able to edit that and I just can't. The path shown isn't there for me.

@Dashrender said in Windows Offline Files query:

I'm guessing those 8 people didn't make any offline updates to files in that folder, so Windows never checked to see if there were new versions.

They have Read-Only access to the network folder. Another group is tasked of updating it.

We are just starting to plan our hardware refresh. I'm seriously considering Scale. I like the info that I've seen so far.

We love ours, it has been great.

I'm still pulling down information..... I need a vibrant DR plan in place or decided on before I commit to a platform. It always seems to be overlooked as an afterthought.

Common approach is to get something like a Synology or a ReadyNAS and use the Scale HC3 built in snapshot and export backup functionality to push full image backups on a schedule out to the NAS.

Someone looking at this thread had a hard time figuring out how to open the registry editor after booting to CLI mode from the 2008 R2 media. from the command line, type regedit and hit enter, it will load.

Some folks are having a bad day. A real bad day.

Paging @KOOLER Will the performance of the appliances be as good or better than the native windows install?

It must be at least as good, why release an inferior product.

Nissan has GT-R cracking 0-100 in sub 3 seconds but it doesn't mean Nissan Altima doing same 0-100 in low 10s suck 😉 Every product has own target niche.

@Mike-Davis said in What should be in Powershell 101 and Group Policy 101 Sessions at MangoCon 2016?:

In the WPA2-Enterprise deployment session, I'll hit on how you push the cert and SSID to your domain joined devices to have the connect automatically to your WPA2-Enterprise SSID.

I like this idea.

Very cool, will have to toy around with this.

PS is really coming along

@scottalanmiller said in Add Active Directory User to Group using PowerShell:

When we work strictly from Windows Server Core installations we need to be able to do everything from the command line, even user management. Let's add a user that already exists into a group that already exists in Active Directory using only PowerShell.

To do this we have the handy Add-ADGroupMember PowerShell commandlet. This is very easy to use in its basic form, all we need is the name of the group and of the user that we want to add. In this case, I want to add user jane to the group "Domain Admins".

Add-ADGroupMember "Domain Admins" jane

That's it, jane is added automatically. This process, like most, is silent on success. To verify that all is as we want it to be, we can use the Get-ADGroupMember command to look up the members of a group.

Get-ADGroupMember "Domain Admins"

Can also do
Add-ADGroupMember -identity "Domain Admins" -members "jane" -WhatIf
to see if it gets added before actually running the command.

Good article. There is ZERO reason to have a GUI on a Domain Controller. Everything can be done through Server Manager on Windows 10/8

You mean RSAT 😉

Both? You can do a lot of directory management through Server Manager as well.

Ok, agree. Just don't like the Server Manager this much, ugly interface. I want to be sure WHICH drive on WHICH host I'm going to format for example. But that is just my personal opinion and I'm more or less a console fetishist 😉

But when it comes to ADSIedit or AD sites, you really want to have RSAT.

huh?

Those options are generally only there is RSAT is installed.
