I am trying to run the Lignering Object Liquidator (LoL) on my Domain Controllers. But some DC's are Server Core and don't have .Net installed. So I have to run it on a DC with a GUI and connect to the DC with server core. But then I found this error message:  "Failed to create event log subscription to target DC". win rmquickonfig reports WinRM is already set up for remote management on this computer. So I tried turning off the firewall altogether:- Set-NetFirewallProfile -Profile Domain,Public,Private - Enabled True And run the LOL again.  That worked! Of course don't forget to turn the firewall back on again immediately afterwards.

 If you have a server running in Azure you cant log into anymore. You can use the Serial Console to get into the server. But there are not many commands, espeically if you can't log into a command prompt. I wanted to set the network adapter, as it had lost the Gateway. Here is the command to see the network adapters config: SAC>i Net: 4, Ip=172.22.10.9  Subnet=255.255.255.0  Gateway=0.0.0.0 As you can see, the Gateway has been set to 0.0.0.0 To set a new Gateway, issue the command: i 4 172.22.10.9 255.255.255.0 172.22.10.1 Where the number 4 is the identified for the network adapter. Now I can ping my VM again!
