We recently upgraded our SCCM clients (Configuration Manager) to 5.00.8634.1814.

We did this after upgrading the site to 1802.

After the upgrade all of the icons in Software Center are wacked out.  Prior to the upgrade, something was taking different sized icons and make them automatically appear the same.

In the new version, this functionality works in the List View option - all icons appear the same size regardless of their size.  In Tile View, which everyone uses, this is not the case.  The icons are not being adjusted for the view.

Has anyone else noted this issue?  Is there a setting somewhere I can click to resize?

I hope so.  So far it's that or I have to resize them all manually.

SIP and Primary SMTP domains do not match. Skype for Business 2015 client displays EWS not deployed.
Hello, I have an Exchange 2007 and Skype for Business 2015 Server on-premise solution deployed.
Originally, functioning fine with SAN certs using <company>.org domain for required certs on mail server and SfB 2015 Standard Edition solution (Standard, Edge and WAP servers).
Primary SMTP domain was <longcompanyname>.com  (domain NOT included in the SAN certs) and everything functioned fine including Conversation History and Calendar synch between Outlook (2007-2013) and Skype for Business 2015 client.
Fast forward a few years and....
New domain purchased and Primary SMTP for each user changed to <shortcompanyname>.com
NOW, Conversation History and Calendar do NOT synch with Outlook anymore.
Research appeared to state I can have this circumstance without issue after running 'Set-CsClientPolicy -DisableEmailComparisonCheck $true'
Ran the powershell command on the SfB Standard Edition server, rebooted test client and SfB solution. STill Outlook Integration Error and EWS not deployed in SfB client Configuration info.
Advice?

Help me with a powershell script.

I have a Hyper-V base server that has a total of 24 processors.

Is it possible to assign more than 24 total virtual processors among the Hyper-V virtual machines?

In other words, can the virtual machines share virtual processors?

Hopefully, someone can assist. Ideally this is the 2nd time I have worked with Azure APIs - in more of a sysadmin role vs Developer.

Essentially what I want is to export the Non-Compliance Microsoft Azure Policies to a HTML report, there is no currently way of doing this so worked on my own method.

Connecting to the PolicyAssignments API I have been successfully able to export the: Azure Policy Names, Azure Policy Descriptions however not the Non Compliant resources or policies. Essentially what I am getting back is a '0', which although is really nice! I know it not to be the truth!

Attached to this post is a screenshot of the HTML export I have managed to do, but don't understand why the Resources & Policies are all coming up as '0'.

This is the code I have so far:

$PolicyResults = @()
ForEach ($subid in $subscriptionId)

{

    $Headers = @{
        'authorization' = "Bearer $token"
        'host'          = 'management.azure.com'
        'contentype'    = 'application/json'
    }


    $url = "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/$subid/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/policyAssignments?api-version=2017-06-01-preview"


    $policies = Invoke-RestMethod  -Uri $url  -Headers $Headers -Method Get

ForEach ($policy in $policies.value) {

    $id = $policy.name
    $resources = 

Select all Open in new window

SSRS Report Builder - Export to CSV issue; Double Quotes exist for each record.

We have a report that is scheduled to produce a CSV file.
This file is consumed by another application and requires specific formatting in order to successfully process the file.
The following entry has been configured within the 'rsreportserver.config' file:

<Extension Name="CSV (No Header)" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">

The file that is being generated from this contains double quotes at the start and end of each record (see below).

Hello,
We have a Hyper-V cluster consisting of 3 hosts sharing 5 VMs. The disks are part of an iSCSI storage. One of our servers "server1" has its drive D on:
C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\HyperV\server1\Virtual Hard Disks\server1\DATA_5F06292E-D0FD-4D21-AD25-DFF18040CFD7.avhdx
We traced Volume1 to Cluster Disk 2 which has 6.8TB with 1.5TB free.

Is expanding server1 drive D volume the same as if this HyperV host was a stand alone?

Should I follow these steps here or are there any special consideration for a Hyper-V cluster?

https://redmondmag.com/articles/2016/01/04/expand-vm-storage-capacity.aspx

Also, I noticed some VMs have a lot of checkpoints, which are only visible from Hyper-V manager. Can I safely remove those? I am assuming they are tight up to our backup software Altaro which is not used anymore.

Many thanks for your help.

We are having an issue with Offline Folders disconnecting when saving from Office 365 2016 products. I'll use Word 2016 as the example. Word is version 1708 Build 8431.2250, Windows 10 pro is the OS, Version 1709 build 16299.431 Server is 2008r2 all updates. This seems to have started with April's Office updates.
Steps to reproduce: Open an explorer window to a location set to "always available offline", then open an existing word doc or create a new word doc an save it to the same Offline Folder synced with Sync Center that you opened in explorer, you should see the status go to offline. I've been able to reproduce this at will on multiple computers. The folder will automatically go back online in a few minutes.
I am able to drag and drop to the offline folder with no issues, and I am able to save from Adobe Acrobat Pro and Bluebeam among others with no issue. I only have a problem with Microsoft Office products.
Any help is appreciated.

So the more I read about this the more frustrating I find it. It seems the more simply people try to explain it the more convoluted the explanations get.

Here is a simple example of a scenario.

Server 2016 Xeon 2 CPU's 8 Cores each
So this is 16 logical processors

I have 4 Hyper V VM's
2 x DC these need a small amount of CPU but it cannot be allowed to fall below a certain threshold say 20% as it serves DNC / DHCP etc
1 x File server
1 x RDS with 5-10 users max

64GB RAM

The server should be fine for the small amount of users and throughput, it is some basic files and there are no heavy apps in RDS.

All the servers should be able to take however much free resources they want.

How many VP should I assign per server.

My reading leads my to believe give them all 2 VP's and set max  / min limits to protect other servers and HV will share out free CPU time efficiently. My experience is that this makes them sluggish and the thresholds do not allow for high overall system resource. I would expect RDS to need the majority most of the time but if I am running WSUS ora backup process overnight when RDS is not being used it should give up its resources.

Any help appreciated, also how do I know HV is using all LP's not queuing time for the same ones from different servers.

Hello i need help to figure out whats is going on with this please help.. i am building 2 VMs from hyper-v (Azure) as windows cluster when i go validate the cluster it brings the D drive offline on both the nodes and i see the error in the report as ( failed while verifying removal of any persistent reservation ) but i can manually bring the D drive online in computer managment, i tried to run the commands i seen online which is   Clear-ClusterDiskReservation -Disk but when i do that it would say failed to clear persistent reservation from disk . even i deleted both VMs and recreated new ones from Hyper-v (Azure) but it is still doing the same thing. i have also tried Diskpart to clear attributes in disk but none of this is working :/

Hello,

I have a testlab environment that has

A local DC (Server 2016) with ADSync to AzureAD
E3 trial subscription
Some Windows 10 Client machines on same LAN as local AD

When a user logs on the client machine, you need to enter username+password for desktop installed apps, such as onedrive and skype.
I dream about SSO and wonder if it can be used to make these desktop apps signin automatically
I'm looking for a way the user would only need to type the username+password for logon to the computer/domain, not to keep having to re-type it for each desktop installed application.

How can I get SSO working with Microsoft Desktop installed apps ?
