I have a computer that's running quite slowly today.  I'm remoting into the PC, so I can't see what's going on first hand.

After loading up taskmgr and clicking on the Performance tab, I don't see any disks.

What comes to mind for you, here?

This box is running Windows Server 2016

Using Citrix with an existing VDI

I registered a Windows 10 Desktop at this location:
https://www.infosaic.com/

But, when I logged in, I found the Windows 10 Desktop was displayed inside a Web Browser. This is not what I had in mind...

If I have an IP address to my Infosaic VDI, can I then use Citrix to enable me to have a Full Screen version of this Windows 10 Desktop?

Thanks

I have been upgrading all PCs to Windows 10 and I have encountered 2 that would not upgrade to Windows 10. All the PC are the same make and model. But these two recieve the error on the image attached.

I cannot tell what is causing my Windows 10 computer to reboot every other night at 12 midnight.  We use a 3rd party patch management service (SolarWinds RMM) for updates, but they are not scheduled to install anytime close to 12am each day.  There does not appear to be any setting in Group Policy Mgmt that would cause it to reboot for any reason, either.  I do see a USER32 information event in Event Viewer showing the reboot, but specifies "No reason" for the cause.  How can I track the cause exactly?  Any ideas out there?  Perhaps there's more in the event log that I'm not seeing?  Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

Dear Experts,

My Domain Controller is a Windows Server 2012 Standard.
My Clients are mixed workstations of Win 7 Pro and Win 10 Pro since we are currently upgrading all clients to Win 10 Pro.

The upgraded Win 10 users were complaining that the computer will auto-lock in short period of time (about 20 minutes).
From the other side the existing Win 7 clients are not affected from the auto-lock issue.
If you leave the Win 7 client unlocked it will remain unlocked.
Same applies to Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller.

In addition please be advised that nothing was initially changed from Domain's Group Policy.
Once the Win 10 Client joined the Domain it would automatically receive this 20 minutes auto-lock.

I searched the internet to locate the correct group policy in order to increase the auto-lock from 20minutes to 60minutes.

I found an article indicating the setting "Interactive logon: Machine Inactivity Limit".
In order to test the setting, I entered 30seconds and I confirmed that the Windows 10 would now lock from 20minutes to about 40seconds.
Following I changed again the setting from 30seconds to 3600seconds (1hour) but unfortunately the auto-lock remains at 40seconds.


I have tried with no luck to:
- gpupdate /force domain controller
- reboot domain controller
- disable "Interactive logon: Machine Inactivity Limit" setting
- reboot Win 10 client

Under Group Policy Objects of the Domain Controller I have…

McKnife recommended the mmc snap-in for non-administrator policies in gpedit.msc and is working fine. The tutorial for exporting and importing the policies into another computer is not as clear or as simple as it appears.
also why does the non-administrator policies do not show up when you open up gpedit.msc?
is there another simpler solution to export the non-administrator policies to another computer?
all are windows 10 pro.

Hi Experts,

my exchange server 2016 restarts each night.
How to troubleshoot this ?
Where to look into ?

A customer of mine was running windows 7 and using a UPS Thermal 2844 printer to print out ups shipping labels.  They upgraded their computer to windows 10 and after that the thermal printer goes through the motions of printing but nothing shows up on the paper.  They Deleted the printer driver and re-installed with the latest update but that didn't help.  What do we need to do to get it to print?

Script to list logons on a specific domain controller, which the user actually logged onto that domain controller. Trying to look up examples and I just keep finding ways to find a specific user, I want all of the logons for the past X hours, of any user.

Hey Experts.  Spending a little more time putting together a script for this mini-project.  After copying the files to the network share, I want to delete out any folders that are older than 30 days (last line of code which I'm unsure of).  That should help maintain the size of the backup directory.  

$timeStamp = Get-Date -Format MMddhhmm
$destination = "\\fs01\\Backups\PRTG_Config\BACKUP_$timeStamp"
$source = "\\d10\c$\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Configuration Auto-Backups"
$max_days = 14
$limit = 30

$newerThan = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1 * $max_days)
If (-not (Test-Path -Path $destination)) {
	New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $destination -Force | Out-Null
}
Get-ChildItem $Source | ForEach-Object {
	Write-Host "'$($_.FullName)' ..."
	If ($_.LastWriteTime -ge $newerThan) {
		$_ | Copy-Item -Destination $destination -Force 
		Write-Host "  ... copied to '$($Destination)'"
	} Else {
		Write-Host "  ... skipped, too old."
	}
}

Get-ChildItem -Path $destination -Recurse -Force | Where-Object { !$_.PSIsContainer -and $_.lastwritetime -lt $limit } | Remove-Item -Force

Hey Experts.  Trying to get this script to back up only the files that have a modified date of 12 days or less/newer.  Help is appreciated as I've tried blending together a couple of scripts I found on the web.

$TimeStamp = get-date -f yyyyMMddhhmm
$Destination = "Y:\BACKUP_" + $TimeStamp
$Source = "X:\folder"
$Max_days = "-14"
$Curr_Date = get-date

Foreach($file in (Get-ChildItem $Source))
{
    if($file.LastWriteTime -gt ($Curr_date).adddays($Max_days))
    {
        New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $Destination -Force
        Copy-Item -Path $Source\*.* -Destination $Destination -Force 
    }
    ELSE
    { "not copying $file"
    }
}
