Within PowerShell can't use something like Push-Location \\Server\Share\path or Set-Location \\Server\Share\path and then run the cipher command?

Hi @PhlipElder, thank you for your suggestion, I was able to RD from the server, and the firewall GPs are set to open, still having same issue. The server has windows essentials too.

Why not filter out the files that you don't need to rename? Summat like: (Get-ChildItem -Path "path\to\folder" -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.Name -contains '•'} | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.Name -replace '•',''} -verbose -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable daError)

@scottalanmiller said in Why the Windows 10 EULA Is Applicable to Older Windows Licenses: It then points out that the EULA is not valid only in the case where the source license is not genuine, so like a pirated copy of Windows 8. This entire portion of the EULA is exclusively for the purpose of Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. It has no purpose otherwise. It does. It also applies when you are installing a clean install of a previously legally licensed Windows 10 system.

Nice! I was thinking about doing this soon.

This is the provider I use to clone KVM guests with Terraform https://github.com/dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt

@Fredtx This has usually worked for me in the past.

@Oksana That's really awesome!

I went to MicroCenter tonight and was looking at laptops. I had a salesperson ask what I was looking for. I got a strange look when I said I wanted W10 Home cause it would get wiped anyway. I don't think she thought I was serious.

@wrx7m said in Server 2016 - Force Default Update Server to WSUS Server Via GPO: @dbeato said in Server 2016 - Force Default Update Server to WSUS Server Via GPO: This would have happened on Server 2012 R2 as well, dual scan has been around and causes a lot of problems as you noted. It is strange that I didn't have these issues in 2012 R2. I essentially copied the same GPO for 2012 R2 and made some minor changes to it to convert it for 2016. My 2012 R2 show the correct default service. Weird, I have various Server 2016and now 2019 with WSUS and while dual scan was an issue for me on Server 2012/ 2012 R2 not anymore.

@pmoncho said in Windows RDS User Profiles - Migrate, Recreate or User Profile Disks?: @Dashrender said in Windows RDS User Profiles - Migrate, Recreate or User Profile Disks?: Cool, then you should have it easy. FYI - Published apps still create a full profile on the RDS box, Just the desktop isn't presented to the user. If the application allows them to browse around, they could typically see the drive letters, the mapped printers, etc... that's why you still need to lock all that stuff down. Thanks for the info. I will keep that in mind. I was debating about using UPD's like @wrx7m and that was my interest in this post. Also, still planning out where to put Connection Broker, WebAccess and Licensing but that is another post. For local profile management, UPDs are a lot cleaner. If we are not putting them on a file server across the network then a second partition/VHDX is set up for that task to keep them separate. With the inclusion of FSLogix with RDS CALs/SALs now it's a no-brainer, IMNSHO, to set the project up on the FSLogix version. Storage management is another reason why UPDs on a network or separate partition make sense. Keeping a local profile on the C:\ of the session host is messy and can cause issues down the road with users coming and going. As far as the Broker/Gateway/Web put those roles on one VM but separate from the Session Host.

@IRJ said in Windows Server 2012 R2 - Share Auditing for Changes: I know you use wazuh.. Check this out https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/capabilities/file-integrity/index.html Thanks! Checking out setting this up. Hopefully, it will reveal the culprit.

@black3dynamite said in Hats off cmder: @Emad-R said in Hats off cmder: notepad= notepad++ I preferred to use Visual Studio Code instead. It's just a steam and video machine. The one-liner quick installs with chocolatey as he likely does is best in that case. No need to get fancy.

I have not dealt with this much, however I have seen sharing groups get their members removed completely.

Okay so figured it out with this guide. From Windows administrative Powershell ssh-keygen type C:\Users\<username>\.ssh\id_rsa.pub | ssh user@linuxserver 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys' Exit administrative Powershell Open Powershell ssh user@linuxserver Logged in.

@mary said in Windows HomeGroups, WorkGroups, and Domains - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer: Is there any alternative to home group now that it isn't available on Windows 10? Also why would you use workgroup instead of Windows Domain? Is it a cost issue? "Home Group" was just a fancy name for network sharing without AD on Windows computers.

@mary said in Windows Control Panel - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer: This may be basic but, can cookies damage your system in anyway? It's one of those things that a lot of sites require you to accept, and an average user just accepts them. So the cookie itself is just a text file. A tiny one. That's it. So the cookie itself does nothing. The issues are if the cookie has something in the text and a browser reads it and does something it shouldn't because of it. But realistically, that's not going to happen. The main concerns around cookies are that they help people to track you, but you need to be tracked. We've been conditioned to thinking that being tracked is a bad thing, but cookies are what lets us track you from post to post here in RoIT for example.

Pretty useful stuff. I played around with some of the commands on my laptop.

@mary said in Windows Task Manager - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer: Do any of you use task manager to troubleshoot what if there is an issue with a PC? I'm trying to get a sense of the steps people go through. Constantly. If working on Windows, it's the "go to" starting point to "see what is going on." It's not a once in a while tool, it's the "might as well just always start there" tool. It gives you a quick glance to see what the system itself is doing. If CPU or RAM is maxed out, or a process list looks crazy, that's almost always what is wrong no matter what it is that you came to look at! I mean if I'm looking for a missing folder of cat pictures, I don't open the task manager first. Nor if I'm installing a new printer. But if I am troubleshooting anything going on with the system, that's the first place to look. The Resource Monitor is also pretty fantastic.

@scottalanmiller said in Windows Firewall with Advanced Security - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer: @JaredBusch well it's good to be explicit that Windows Defender and Windows Defender Firewall are two different products. But also Windows Firewall isn't a real name, either. Windows Defender Firewall is the name of the Windows firewall. So using "Windows Firewall" or "firewall by Windows Defender" are essentially the same - lose descriptions of the brand name. All make sense. Good to remember that the pieces are discrete. The best full statement is "the Windows firewall is Windows Defender Firewall." True, but until Windows 10, it was simply called Windows Firewall. So that is a correct legacy term. Vista introduced the longer term Windows Firewall with Advanced Security in the MMC snap in. It stayed those two terms until Windows 10.

@mary said in Windows Administrative Tools - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer: Is there a list anywhere of the Windows command prompts, or do you usually look at the help to look at options? I realize the more seasoned IT person would have a lot of these committed to memory, but just starting out this is a bit overwhelming. There seem to be a lot of them to keep track of. Kind of. There are some built in tools to the shell itself, and some standard Windows tools that you can call. but keep in mind that you can add an unlimited number of additional ones, because all you are doing is calling installed applications. So while there are lists of the ones built in, most people have loads and loads of ones that are not.

@mary said in Microsoft Command Line Tools - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer: Can you remote in to restart a PC if it is frozen or are you stuck looking at what the user is? Depends on the tools at your disposal and where "you" are. You can remote in using tools like RDP, but if the user is frozen, likely that won't help. You can remote in using PsExec, PowerShell Remoting or SSH and those will often work if the OS isn't completely frozen. You can use tools like ScreenConnect or MeshCentral, they will allow for remote command execution through local agents. And DevOps tools like SaltStack will issue remote commands similarly. But it all depends on your level of remote access, what has been set up ahead of time, and how frozen things are.
