Rewriting post to make this more concise:  Any assistance is appreciated.

Configuration:  Netscaler MPX 9700’s pointing to StoreFront 3.15 VM’s (Windows 2012), pointing to XenApp 6.5.

Issue:  Authentication failure when trying to login thru both Netscaler and Storefront.  Narrowed down via troubleshooting, seems the StoreFront is not passing traffic to domain for authentication.

What is logged in Event Logs on StoreFront Server:

• Security Log:  
• Event ID 4625            Unknown user name or bad password.
• Citrix Delivery Services Log:       
• An authentication attempt was made for user: testuser that resulted in: Failed (Windows Error Code: 1326)  Password expiry information was requested but none was returned.
• StoreFront Splash error when accessing URL:  "Incorrect Username or Password"

DebugView log:  

• An authentication attempt was made for user: testuser resulting in: Failed (Windows Error: 1326)      
• Citrix.DeliveryServices.Explicit Warning: 0 :    
• Expiry information was requested, but none was returned  
• Citrix.DeliveryServices.Localisation Verbose: 0 :  
• ResXNamespacedResourceManager found value 'Incorrect user name or password' for key 'ExplicitCore:Failed'

 
   
Verified:

• I can telnet the Domain Controller's/Active Directory from StoreFront over port 389, success.
• Loopback to onUsingHttp is set in StoreFront.
• None of these attempts are logged on the Domain Controller itself.

Any additional thoughts on how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance.

using telnetlib in python to configure a router. i'm using cgi to display the python script to a browser.
i'm having trouble troubleshooting the code because cgi just display's an error screen 'internal server error'
so, i really don't see where i'm making the mistake. i can run the python script through the python interpreter, but that's just a hassle.

any suggestions on how to troubleshoot the output? i've tried using
print "Content-type:text/plain\n" as opposed to "Content-type:text/html\n" so as to just display the unformatted output without html formatting, but i still am not seeing where i'm making mistakes.

i know i can cat /var/log/httpd/error_log

but i guess what i'm asking is if anyone can give me some more specifics about what is actually going on.
i understand this:
telnetlib is a module that'll open a socket to the router or switch.  the physical and data link connection we're not going to see, the network layer is addressed by the ip which i have set to a variable and is here
host = "192.168.1.1"
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST, timeout=TIMEOUT)
any further specifics of communication is held within the actual module telnetlib -- socket or transport layer tcp settings.

the server 'sends' the message, encapsulated at what? layer 7 down through layer 2 as the data communications model/osi specifies.. it goes over the wire and over to the client which decapsulates the packet and sends it back up to the telnet application.

i understand i can't see…

Im am looking to setup a test environment for a Honey pot server/s and and looking for some open source application out there that might help. I have found the MHN Server and honey pot deployment but as im not an expert on Linux i seems to be hitting random errors (4-5 attempts to install so far) and have managed to resolve most of them BUT others experience with the applications would be very useful. I have trawled youtube and and followed the troubleshooting articles. Does anyone have experience setting this up locally and any build > instruction sets?

Thanks in Advance

I am trying to audit the number of pending updates for each server using Get-PendingUpdates found in the gallery, but this script fails to run on a some of our 2016 servers.

(script below)

Problematic servers pause indefinately whilst running the following line

$SearchResult = $UpdateSearcher.Search("IsAssigned=1 and IsHidden=0 and IsInstalled=0")

Select all Open in new window

Most servers run the query OK in 2-3 seconds, however some of our servers pause on is this line indefinitely:

Other key points:
Same problem using PSSession AND\OR locally using Powershell (running as admin).
Powershell.exe in taskmanager CPU% is 0. Private working memory 26,748 (doesnt move)

Our servers are all deployed from the same Server 2016 template so it doesnt make sense to me why some would be OK and others not.

Can anyone offer any troubleshooting tips?. Possible causes.  Rebooting servers is not really an option at the moment.
Cheers
String

#Get All Assigned updates in $SearchResult
$UpdateSession = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Session
$UpdateSearcher = $UpdateSession.CreateUpdateSearcher()
$SearchResult = $UpdateSearcher.Search("IsAssigned=1 and IsHidden=0 and IsInstalled=0")
#Matrix Results for type of updates that are needed
$Critical = $SearchResult.updates | where { $_.MsrcSeverity -eq "Critical" }
$important = $SearchResult.updates | where { $_.MsrcSeverity -eq "Important" }
$other = $SearchResult.updates | where { $_.MsrcSeverity -eq $null }

Cisco Unity voicemail to email logs

We have a Cisco phone system and it is set up to send the user an email each time they get a voicemail.
Some users reports they don't get the voicemail emails and I want to start troubleshooting it by looking at the email logs.
If I look at our O365 email logs, Message Trace, I don't see anything from the phone system going to any user. I know it works for me so I looked at the O365 email logs for me but there's nothing there from the phone system.

Where would I find the log that shows me the email with the voicemail attachment?

SMTP settings in Unity are set to Port 25 and the SMTP Domain is "domain"-cuc1."domain".us
The SmartHost is set to our internal SMTP relay (nothing in those logs either)

Grateful for any help!

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013 model) that is currently running macOS Mojave (10.14.2) that is experiencing random crashes. This issue has been occurring for about a year now but has increased in frequency over the last month. When the issue first occurred it was only when it was removed from the power charger, now it is occurring on power or on battery. I have spoken with Apple Care about this and all they can suggest is that I take it into an apple store (unfortunately the nearest store is 100+ miles away). I have tried replicating the issue however I am unable to narrow down one specific action that causes the crashes - sometimes it is browsing the internet, sometimes it is typing a document in Word, sometimes it is editing a PDF, and sometimes it occurs when I just leave it sit for 30+ minutes.

Initially through online research I thought this was related to a battery issue. I opened the case and the LiPos were expanded so I replaced the battery. Unfortunately that did not resolve the issue. I have also tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC to no avail. Additionally I have tried booting into safemode but even in safemode I experienced a crash. There also does not appear to be any consistency to how frequently it reboots, some days I can go an entire day with only 1-2 crashes, other days it crashes every 10 minutes. I also wanted to note that this issue has occurred over the previous 2 OSX installations so it is not Mojave specific.

I have previous …

Anyone explain how Exchange 2010\2013\2016 work with IIS?

Are there any good websites that go into where the dependency lies?

Troubleshooting an issue with websense , (forcepoint version 8.4) on client windows 10 machine where access to the Exchange Management Console doesn't initialize when triton AP-endpoint is enabled, (when disabled it works as expected)

Is there a way to isolate the cause of this, thought it might be port or IIS related but not 100% sure, (3rd party have a call open with forcepoint but no updates from them so far)

Hello and Good Morning Everyone,

            Following some extensive troubleshooting, I am now able to fully access my friend's Windows 8 desktop.    At this point, I am wondering if there is a way I can configure Windows 8 so it will by pass the username and password requirement and go straight into the desktop environment.  At the moment, there is a screen with an email address, personally set up, along with a box requiring a password.  Once the password is entered, the HP Pavilion laptop takes me straight to the Windows 8 desktop environment.  Basically, I want to eliminate the login requirement and go straight to the desktop.  

             Any help regarding this question will be greatly appreciated.

            Thank you

             George

Hello and Good Afternoon Everyone,

            For troubleshooting purposes, I need to know how to access the BIOS settings of an HP Pavilion laptop running Windows 8.  Unfortunately, I can not locate the model number of this laptop anywhere on it.  Hopefully, the steps for accessing the BIOS for the HP Pavilion laptop are universal.

            Thank you

Good Morning Experts,

Mary Doe has publishing editor permissions to John Doe’s calendar.  She recently cancelled an appointment she created on his behalf, however, we have been unsuccessful in deleting it from her calendar.

The meeting attendees are also receiving several cancellation notices.  These seem to be sent sporadically, as the most recent was sent out yesterday, and Mary has not been sending them out.  

Last week, I was remoted into Mary’s computer to try and resolve the issues with this appointment.

I did a repair on her Outlook profile, removed her Outlook profile, tried to delete the appointment via webmail, and was not successful.

I also RDP into John’s computer this morning and did a repair on his profile, removed his profile, and also checked on Mary’s permissions to his calendar.

Everything seemed to be in order on his end.  Could your please look into this further, as I have run out of troubleshooting options?

Please, advise how to stop getting this cancellation meeting notices on user's mailboxes and explain what would happen if there are several scenarios

Provide step by step instructions with screenshots
