When you are registering Microsoft Azure Site Recovery server you might get this message:- The registration key has expired. Download a new registration key from Azure Site Recovery and select it. The downloaded file shouldn't be more than 5 days old. It's really difficult to find this key, it took me more than an hour to find. Here is the location:- Log on to the Azure portal and browse to your Recovery Services Vault. Browse to  Manage/Site Recovery Infrastructure  >  Hyper-V Hosts   Click the  +Server  button at the top. Click the "Download the vault registration key to register the host" button.

 Windows Server: File Server Resource Manager tasks: error occurred details: 0x8007007b I found this error after trying to save a task in the File Server Resource Manager / File Management Tasks: An error occurred while trying to persist changes to the file management task. Details: 0x8007007b, the filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect. What this means to anybody who doesn't speak Microsoft, is that you used invalid characters in your name of the task. Re-create the task with only text and numbers, don't use anything that is not text or a number. none of these:- 0x00000022 (quotation mark) 0x0000002A (asterisk) 0x0000002F (forward slash) 0x0000003A (colon) 0x0000003C (less than) 0x0000003E (greater than) 0x0000003F (question mark) 0x0000005C (backslash) 0x0000007C (pipe or bar)  This happened to me because I had created the task in Server 2008R2 and then upgraded to 2012R2. After the upgrade the File Management Task no longer works.
