Afternoon all, im looking for a little advice on the Microsoft ATA solution. I have a client that has asked me to review the tool and implement it the network if appropriate. At present we have this in a Proof of Concept environment but i am having trouble getting anything to report back that is of any use (it notes new machines and users etc..)

Microsoft seem to have very little information on the tool and have not managed to come back with much useful information (they just keep providing web links to articles) we have the following setup in place at present:

Center Server: Virtual Server 2012 R2
Light Gateway: Virtual Server 2012 R2
Light Gateway: Azure Server 2012 R2
Light Gateway: Virtual Server 2008 R2

We have had limited feedback from the console on things that are happening within the network (but we did receive today on exposed credentials in clear text) so we know it is reporting things back. I wondered if anyone had used this before and could expand on the following:

• How long is the learning period for the system

• Will i be able to track access events (user/engineers accessing servers/shares they shouldnt

• User account privileges (can i see if someone is given additional rights)

• New administrator level account tracking

I would like to know how useful the system is in auditing the local network to offer feedback on potential security issues or will i need to review somthing like ManageEngine AdAudit?

Hi All,

Can anyone here please share some steps and procedures in how to deploy Windows 10 (Win10_1607_EnglishInternational_x64.iso) to my new bunch of HP laptops ?

ISO file name: en-gb_windows_10_multiple_editions_version_1607_updated_jul_2016_x64_dvd_9058848.iso

From what I know is that WDS+MDT is free can be deployed on any Windows Server 2012 R2. But I do not know how and where to start ?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if SCOM 2012 R2 extends the SCHEMA of AD when installed?  If so can someone point me to the documentation on removal?

Thanks

Hi,

I have found various posts here and online but cant find one that can do everything I need in one report. I would like to create a SQL Reports for SCCM 2012 to show the following information in one report

PC Name
MS Office Version installed
MS Project version installed(if installed)
MS Visio Version installed (if installed)
MS Visual Studio Version installed (if installed)


I have had a look at the post below but when I select Office version 2010 it brings back 5-6 entries per PC

Hi,

I have an issue on SharePoint 2010 Foundation and the Quick Launch. We have a list of several sites on the Quick Launch that not every user has access to. For example, we have 2 sites called '2.0 Pondfield' and '5.0 Rheola'. User A has no access to either site, however, '2.0 Pondfield' shows on the Quick Launch but '5.0 Rheola' doesn't for User A. When I check the permissions for User A on each site, they have no permissions on either site. So why does one site show on the Quick Launch and the other doesn't? I've recorded a quick video to show this issue and you can download it on the link below.

Hi Guys could you help me with my server storage.

I have one server which is ruuning out of space.

This server runs mainly sharepoint 2013

Question is could I delete these files which are on the image below ?

Thank you

I have Lync Server 2013 running on Server 2012 R2. All of a sudden the Lync Server Control Panel isn't loading anymore. Attached is an image of the errorI am getting HTTP Error 404.4-Not Found page.
Detailed Error Information
Notification:MapRequestHandler
Handler: not yet determined
Error Code: 0x8007007b.

I have been able to log in just fine in the past but when I tried the other day I am getting the error. I have verified that Lync is 100% up to date as of now. I looked through the event log and haven't found anything that would point to an error. I'm sure it is a setting somewhere in IIS but I cannot find where. Someone please help

Some time ago I setup a test SP server, was a basic setup and used it to demonstrate some nice look sites and functionality to my bosses. The test server somehow drift into a production server along with all the mistakes and bugs. The server works, users are able to access what they need to, there are no work flows or anything fancy, we use it purely as a internal company info hub, new employees, general notifications and then we have our company's training manuals and quality management policies on it as well, these make up the biggest portion on SP and are also the most important.

Now it has recent been requested that Apps be added but the gremlins have shown me that this will not be allowed. I can't remember everything that was done to this system or what was added, removed, broken, fixed, etc. and I have a feeling it might take me longer to figure out than to actually just build a new SP server.

How would I go about installing a new SP server, keeping it the same name and not have to recreate all the content on the current server and ofc not drag any of the problems along with it?

Background - XenApp 7.6 on Windows 2012. Lync Server 2010 with Skype for Business 2016 client.

Trying to run Skype for Business 2016 client against Lync Server 2010. Microsoft says this scenario is possible if the server is running February 2015 Cumulative Update (4.0.7577.710). The server has been patched. I can open the client and login, however I receive a generic error message, see attached, that will not go away. If I click OK, the error message keeps coming back. The client works other than this error message. I cannot find any info in the event log on the Citrix server, the Lync server or any useful info in the Lync client logs.

Anything else I could look at that might help me with this issue?
Thanks.

My company recently migrated from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 and they made the decision to not migrate the My Site data. I have a broken WebPart that is using the QuickLinkManager object to create a link to a individuals My Site. Can QuickLinkManager write to something else beside My Site or does anyone have an idea for a workaround?

Thanks for the assistance

My company recently switched from SharePoint Server 2010 to SharePoint Server 2013, but for now it is the 2010 Emulation Mode. One of the older (created on SharePoint Server 2007) Visual Studio SharePoint projects does not work after the migration and I need to rewrite it. Eventually we will shut off 2010 Emulation for a pure 2013 environment so my question is - will a SharePoint 2013 Project work on a SharePoint 2013 Server emulating SharePoint 2010 and once we shut off the 2010 Emulation, will it still work?

I realize that we should be using an edge server and in time we will.  However, we are just basically using lync 2013 on a single server for messaging only.  Not interested in any audio visual yet.  This has been working for months now just fine, however the server took a unplanned power outage and was shut down unexpectedly.  After getting everything back up and running, I can only get lync working internally but not externally with messaging. Given me a DNS issue.

As a note, my exchange server was affected as well, but ended up I need to set the binding back for the SSL to the port that fixed that.  No such luck with Lync.  I am positive the topology is correct as it is working internally and even double checked everything.  I checked the AD DNS for the SRV record and it works.  I know it is something simple, but no idea what to look for at this point.

Hello all. I have a little situation here that I need some help with. I have a Windows 2012 Remote Apps server setup for remote sessions (not remote desktops).

I then had one of my DBA's write a MS Access front end that requires each user to launch a unique copy of the front end. How can I go about setting up and publishing an app where the server will copy the front end file and use that unique copy for each user?

I tried writing a .bat file that copied the file from a shared location to the users profile and then launch the front end, but when I publish it, I can connect to the remote app website, launch the .bat, but it runs that .bat file on the local machine and not the RDS server.

An example of my script is:

-----------------------------
xcopy "\\server1\share\frontend.accdb" "\\server1\users\%username%\desktop" /Y
Start "" "\\server1\users\%username%\desktop\frontend.accdb
----------------------------
