I need help troubleshooting a problem with a PowerShell script that queries remote logged on users and then logs a selected user(s) off.

Here's the script -

Function YesNo
{
    Param($provide)
    $a = new-object -comobject wscript.shell 
    $popup = "Do you want to Select the servers to scan ?"
    $intAnswer = $a.popup($popup, ` 
    0,$provide,4) 
        If ($intAnswer -eq 6) { 
            $answer = "yes" 
        } else { 
            $answer = $null 
        } 
    return $Answer
}
Function DisplayInfo
{
    Param($Servers)
    cls
    write-host
    $count = $servers.count
    write-host $count -ForegroundColor Yellow -NoNewline
    write-host " servers selected to investigate." -ForegroundColor Green
    write-host "The total of servers in the AD is :" -ForegroundColor Green -NoNewline
    Write-Host (get-adcomputer -filter {Operatingsystem -like "Windows Server*"} | select name).count -ForegroundColor Red
    Write-Host 
}
Function Selection
{
    #$servers = (get-adcomputer -filter {Operatingsystem -like "Windows Server*"} | sort name | select name).name
    $servers = (get-adcomputer -LDAPFilter "(&(objectCategory=computer)(operatingSystem=Windows Server*)(!serviceprincipalname=*MSClusterVirtualServer*)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))" -Property name | sort-object Name).name
    if (yesNo -eq "Yes")
    {
        $servers = $servers | out-gridview -passthru
    }
    return $servers
}
 
Function DoIt
{
    Param($Servers)

Hi EE,


One user can't log into a Sharepoint 2010 site they are AD authenticated but when they try to sign they get a invalid credentials message. I have recreated the user in Sharepoint User administration no luck and double-checked their group assignments in AD and office 365 no issues.

How would troubleshoot this issue what logs would consult, any guidance is welcome?

Cheers.

Hi:

In Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018, upon copying the URL from the GP's Publish OData window, the end user gets the http 404 error.  

After trying every troubleshooting document out there in cyberspace, no joy.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have a user who has a former employee's mailbox listed within their Outlook.  The former employee's mailbox is listed as "unlicensed" in Microsoft 365 admin center.  When the user clicks on the mailbox to try to access it, they receive the error "Cannot expand the folder.  The set of folders cannot be opened."  We want to remove this mailbox from the user's Outlook.  Unfortunately the user isn't in the office very often, so I have forgotten exactly which troubleshooting steps we've already tried.  Additionally, I don't have a lot of recent experience with Outlook troubleshooting and none at all with Exchange administration in Outlook 365.  I remember though that it wasn't an obvious fix (hence this post).  Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have 4 Hyper V VMs that have started showing Source = disk / Event ID 11 (The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\DR0) once I adjusted the paging file size on each

(I believe that is when it started - either that or pretty coincidental). I put the paging size back but the errors continued - again - that may not have been the catalyst but a coincidence.

The host machines show no issues/errors and Dell OpenManage (OSMA) reports all is well from a host perspective.

I am troubleshooting latency in a 3rd party app that is run on these servers and found this error in the Windows logs. It may not be related but I'm curious. Looks like there are multiple instances of it every 10 -45 minutes.

Any ideas?

As part of an MS Word automation, I am using ADODB to read from a .csv file into an array, then immediately after than a different procedure uses ADODB to read from an Excel file.   See code snippets below.

Everything works great for me, but one of my users is encountering an "Automation Error, the object invoked has disconnected from its clients" error.  The error happens in cases where they do this import twice in a row.  I can't reproduce that error on my machine, so having a hard time troubleshooting.

My tool uses a string variable saved to the Registry to remember the root of a "contentlibraryfolder" from which is accesses different types of files for many functions.  Notice in the code snippets below that the CSV import does not access the contentlibraryfolder (the CSV is on the local machine), however the second snipped where it  reads in an Excel file DOES use the contentlibrary.  I suspect this may be where the error is happening.  Here's why: When the user sets the content library location to point to a  remote server (\\XXXXXX\ContentLibrary), things work fine with no error.  But when the user points to a content library on their local machine (which has an identical copy of the library files and folders), the error occurs the second time.  

Anybody have an idea what might be going on?  Thanks for any pointers!

Hello.  I've been fighting with my new Netscaler (11.5.57.11 - Netscaler is a MPX9700 FIPS)/XenApp 7.15 (Windows 2016) environment a bit.  I am able to successfully get to the StoreFront site directly.  If I try to go through the Netscaler Gateway, I get a 'Cannot complete your request' error.

In troubleshooting, determined we also need to change the port for the acting STA's (Delivery Controller's) to use port 8080 instead of port 80.

I am able to telnet from StoreFront to the Delivery Controller's on port 8080.
I am able to telnet from the Netscaler to the Delivery Controller's on port 8080.
I have verified that the Delivery Controller's are listening on port 8080 by doing a netstat -t.

However - within the Netscaler console, Within the Netscaler Gateway under VPN Virtual Server STA Server Binding, this shows the connections as down.  I have included the port in the path.

(i.e.)

http://server.domain.local:8080

Any thoughts on what I am missing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a question for VPN peer IP address. I have a block of public IP addresses I can use. One of them of course is assigned to the public facing interface on my firewall. I need to set up a half dozen site-to-site VPN on the firewall with external agencies. What is the pros and cons of using the interface IP address as the VPN peer IP address for all the VPN sites v.s. using the different public IP address for each individual VPN sites? I am thinking maybe using unique IP address for each VPN peer makes it is easier for tracing and troubleshooting issues, but that's just my random thoughts. Is there a set standard and reasoning as to how you should assign IP address when there are multiple VPN peers?

Also, when it is necessary to NAT the VPN encryption domain (interesting traffic) to a public IP address, is it recommended to use an IP address other than your VPN peer IP address? It seems like using the peer IP for NAT works just fine, but I was told once it's not recommended with no clear explanation.

Thank you in advance for your comments!

I am moving from XenApp 6.5 to XenApp 7.15 and publishing my applications.  I think i have figured out the Delivery Groups and Application Groups, but not sure how to publish an application to 1 specific server.  We do this sometimes for applications that are only installed on a couple of servers in the farm vs all or for one specific to be used for Troubleshooting purposes.

I found an old post regarding using Tags to do this but don't really see how to apply that properly.  And didn't seem to be a resolved question.

So how do I duplicate this kind of Published App in 7.15?

Thanks in advance.

I have a 2008DC that I need to decommission.  I shut it down just to make sure it wouldn't cause any problems when I remove it and when I did that I had one developer that had issues logging in to any of the servers he normally accesses with his credentials.  He also couldn't access any of his mappings for Microsoft Visual Studio.  I'm not really sure where to start troubleshooting this issue

I just recently installed an Edgerouter 4. It was working for a week and now, I cannot get any device to connect to the Internet that's connected to the Edgerouter. I used the Basic Setup Wizard. I've updated the firmware to 2.0.6. I've plugged only the PC into Eth2 and also tried Eth3 and Eth4. The computer gets the IPV4 that the router gave it. I can connect to the router. I see that the router is getting a WAN IP on eth0. I see Tx and Rx on that interface. Right now it's at 10.4 Kbps Tx and 6.25 Kbps Rx. It shows connected but it doesn't matter what device I connect up to it--they cannot access the Internet. I've reset the Edgerouter 4 a few times and tried a few different configs in the wizard but everything doesn't get the devices on the Net. I can connect any device directly up to the CABLE modem and get an external IP similar to the WAN IP on eth0 and those devices can browse the Internet. Can you please suggest any other troubleshooting ideas? From the device, I can ping the WAN IP and get 1ms responses. If I try to use the Ping tool, it doesn't have any responses. It just says 0 packets sent and 0 received. Thanks in advance for your help!
