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!

If a user has left, their license gets removed and their OneDrive for Business account gets automatically deleted for a period of 93 days. If you try and restore a user, and un-delete their OneDrive, you run into a problem as restoring the account atomically creates a new empty OneDrive. Restoring gets you this error:- Restore-SPODeletedSite : A site collection with the same Site Id or Path already exists. You have to permanently delete the new empty OneDrive account, then restore then old deleted one back:- To delete permanently the newly created (empty) site:- Remove-SPOSite -Identity https://xxxxxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/xxxxxxxxx To restore the automatically deleted (full) site:- Restore-SPODeletedSite -Identity https://xxxxxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/xxxxxxxxx

Our server has several network cards. If you ping the server name, you get the wrong IP address (instead of the management IP you get the IP address of the internet facing address, which is not routed internally). First, I removed the "register this connection's address in DNS" option in the network card, and ipconfig /register DNS. This worked for 1 day, but after 1 day the old IP address came back again. Fix: In DHCP, make a reservation for the address lease. In properties, remove the tickbox "Enable DNS Dynamic updates".  Problem solved!
