no consultation, no nothing.
they have a track record of this type of behaviour
the worst thing about it all
the way i've been treated
got told my services were no longer required by a consultant

the new mob they've gone with
first thing they asked me to do (yeah, I'm going to take notice of what they want)
can I remove the av off all hosts so their rmm can be installed
this, while i'm still managing the network

Yeah, this has been happening lately sorry to hear tha.

@jasgot I hope I am helpful

r does it give an error...it will usually perpetually spin or just show a white page. I fired up Chrome and same thing but if you wait long enough it MAY load but mostly the same thing.
I've tried a different Edge Profile and even used guest and in-private mode. Same results.
If I disable the network card on this domain joined PC and go on the Wi-Fi (which is outside domain), Facebook and Instagram work fine. As soon as I reenable the network card on the domain, bam, it stops.
I went ahead and upgraded another, domain joined PC in the office (with a different PC name) to Windows 11 and tried

What are you using for DNS on the Domain Controllers? Root Hints or Forwarders servers? And what are they now?

@eleceng said in The remote session was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers:

Getting error The remote session was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers to give a license.

This is on server 2016 and just doing RDP connection for setting up server roles not using terminal services or making a terminal server just connecting with RDP like you do desktop to desktop on the Lan, etc.

There are no CAL licenses applied yet.

Connect to the server as mstsc /admin or mstsc /console with the Admin user. Setup the roles, license the server and you will be good to go.

@eleceng Just make sure that you have an account that is not the built-in Administrator user as the only Domain admin and the GPO Policy applied only to certain OUs and not the domain root. Otherwise you will have a problem in your hands.

@eleceng DNS and DCs go hand in hand so while you could get away with it there is no reason to separate those roles.

@scottalanmiller Yup Facebook down

@eleceng said in WSUS Location:

Should WSUS be a separate server / VM or added as a role on one of the 2 domain controllers?

What's best practice, experience?

Best practice is a separate server and never a domain controller.

@scottalanmiller Slack is accessible at least in the East Cost, Same for Whatsapp, Twitter and Teams.

@gjacobse said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

We are having MS MFA issues....

Yes, they posted on that too.

@mattspeller It has been bad the last 3 weeks like real bad.

@scottalanmiller Isn't that still something close to that that VoiP.MS experienced? and granted they didn't have CLoudflare setup on their main site ahead of this.

@jaredbusch A lot of VoIP Providers have notified us that they are having issues with Inbound calls today for some reason. Dealing with that a lot today.

@gjacobse said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

ve been here 90 days.
So, that's
.AD
.OneDrive
.Teams
.Outlook
.Sharepoint

Not even HYbrid AD lol.... ?1 password and MFA would have kept the session anyway...

@jaredbusch Anything specific on the client's Event Logs for the printer or gpo deployment?

@gjacobse said in I can't even:

I was such a Curtis I'd have had my account locked and left the scene....

Yup...
