You just can't do n-to-n mappings with OUs, and no one in their right loving mind is going to break it down in any organization of reasonable size.

I got our Ops team some new laptops with i7-6700HQ processors in them, and they are still telling me that Excel 2016 32-bit on Windows 10 is painfully slow. Apparently even adding a row will freeze up Excel for a minute plus. They're assuring me that they're avoiding every potential inefficiency (like following all these tips: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff726673) I'm about ready to throw up my hands. Ops is like 8 people who use Excel entirely to track performance of 500 employees, so they don't have a way to break these spreadsheets into smaller teams/tabs. Is there any other workaround? I was considering maybe spinning up a VM on a powerful server so their laptops act more as thin clients and they can brute-force the calculations. Either that or have them use Excel Online but they hate that and it can't use their Salesforce plugins (neither can 64-bit Excel)

Update on the GPO thing: MS updated the KB to confirm that the machine account is now used to read user policies and that you need to add read permissions for either Authenticated Users or Domain Computers to each policy you remove the default security filtering from. The behaviour change in this update will not be revised and this is the new normal. Nice of them to let us know that one in advance

MS16-075/KB3161561 is causing problems too, it's an SMB EoP exploit fix, but it's had the effect of randomly and sporadically cutting off access to SYSVOL/NETLOGON if you access it via your domain alias. Still works if you go to the DC hostname directly. Microsoft CLAM DOWN fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Jun 16, 2016 |

It was happening if we accessed: \\domain.fqdn\sysvol but not \\dchostname1.fqdn\sysvol Found out a bit more, this patch will cause this problem only if you have UNC hardening enabled as per https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askpfeplat/2015/02/22/guidance-on-deployment-of-ms15-011-and-ms15-014/ which of course, we do have it enabled

So ah... one of the patches from Patch Tuesday was pretty drat important. MS16-077 also known as "BadTunnel". "The nuts and bolts of how the vulnerability works haven’t been revealed but it has been described as a technique for NetBIOS-spoofing across networks that bypasses firewalls and NAT (Network Address Translation) devices." "This vulnerability has a massive security impact – probably the widest impact in the history of Windows."

Having a hell of a time trying to get Windows 2012 R2 installed on a DL380 G7. I can boot to the ISO from ILO and it recognizes all the drives. I even loaded the driver for the Smart Array P410i Controller and I always get the error: We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. I did all the steps from here: http://www.techazine.com/2015/04/22/installing-windows-2012-r2-on-proliant-dl380-g7-without-smartstart/ But it didn't take, same error. Anyone have any ideas I'm missing?

For anyone who is affected by the patch which breaks GPO evaluation you can run this as an EA and it will crawl the forest for items missing the read permission and add it.Powershell Script posted:CLS

A question for anyone successfully using MDT to perform an upgrade from Windows 7 pro to Windows 10 pro: Where did you get the Win10 media to import into MDT? I've used the official MS media creation tool to download .iso files, but they dont import into MDT. I found different .iso files on some MS 'techbench', those will import into MDT but then my task sequence fails with various vague error messages that I have so far been unable to solve.

I think you need to focus on the error messages. Any windows 10 media should be able to do the job. I would honestly just use the profile export function built into mdt and do a fresh windows 10 install myself.

The media creation tool won't give you the correct media. You need the VL media as it contains the required WIM files. Evaluation version will probably work? Swink fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Jun 18, 2016 |

The version I got from MS tech bench seems to work but now I'm running into what looks to be driver problems. For those of you doing this, did you make a new deployment share just for Win10? I stuck my Win10 images/drivers/task sequences on the same deployment share as all my Win7 crap but I fear that may be causing me problems. All instructions that I'm finding online are starting clean in a lab environment, I'm not finding much about running it in production.

Question about Dynamics\Salesforce. I know Salesforce is the go to CRM platform but any guess if Dynamics will grow\steal market share in the future using perhaps some sort of uncompetitive business practices? I guess my main question is will they be around 10 years from now? 20 years from now? The solution can now be offered in the cloud through Microsoft Azure VM, will that be big in the distant future? I am wondering if it's worth dipping my toes into...

# ? Jun 20, 2016 23:08 |

I may have an outdated perception of the two, but I've always seen Dynamics as a platform that can be used to build a CRM system on top of, whereas Salesforce is closer to being something that can be used out of the box. We use Dynamics CRM at work and it's poo poo, and this is after near enough 200k of 3rd party developer spend. Though that may be because we are trying to manage a software project without any software project management skills.

Ugh going to go loving crazy trying to figure this out, wonder if maybe one of you guys could help. I've got 2200 remote machines with ~10 LOCAL users each (they are all named the same across all the machines), and running server 2012 R2. 90% of these users have hosed up file associations for xls/doc type files, don't ask, it's awful and I'm pretty pissed the "project" team that caused this problem does not have to fix it. So, domain level USER GPOs are out of the question, which sucks because there's a group policy user preference item that would do exactly what I need. I've tried this: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com...ailto-protocol/ and it did add a reg entry for the program I selected, but did not seem to actually do anything useful, unless I'm dumb and did it wrong. Server 2012 and on hashes user registry hives so I can't just load hives, delete keys, import and unload, it will just return to what it was before (kind of). Anyone dealt with something like this have any ideas? I've got a microsoft ticket open, but uh they keep sending me "fixes" that are domain user GPOs. Switching to domain users is the end-game goal, but it's not a possibility at the moment.

That sounds awful and you have my condolences for having to support what sounds like an awful setup. I'm not familiar with what you mean by Windows 2012 hashing profiles and a quick glance did not bring up anything relevant, but cant' you just have a script that iterates through the relevant users in HKEY_USERS and sets the settings you need (or wipes it out and lets the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE settings take over or whatever you need to do)?

Internet Explorer posted:That sounds awful and you have my condolences for having to support what sounds like an awful setup. I can't find the info I found before, but, if I load a user hive as my admin account, then delete the keys, import the keys I want, and then unload the hive, log the user on, nothing will have changed (essentially), if I then log the user off, load the hive again, I see the same registry entries that were there before I hosed with it. I found somewhere that talked about how user registries are being hashed in windows 8/2012 which causes this not to work. Which means what you're suggesting won't work because it's essentially what I already tried.
