WE ARE GETTING 611 ERROR - DIRECTORY SYNCHRONIZATION , password hash synchronization failed for domain

WE NEED TO KNOW what is the version of Azure AD Connect and whether it is compatible with Windows Server 2016 Domain Controller
as we just promoted new DC yesterday

Dear all,

My laptop (Microsoft Windows 10,  Enterprise 2016 LTSB, Build 14393). It's a Dell Latitude and a bit old but was working OK. Lately, it has been slow and displays erratic behaviors (strange processes, pop ups, power Shell down based on Event viewer, will come back to this in a second). Besides the Falcon Sensor Free trial and a paid version of Symantec End point protection, I've run different scans such as ESET  Online Scan, Restoro, I have done that for days with no luck so I think it could be a bad Windows 10 version.

Today when I checked the USERS folder in C, there was a new user! and there were traces of strange events on the event  viewer including the log on of this user (DAU1-2106).

On the other hand, I was installing Visual studio yesterday when the "log on" happened, can Visual Studio create a new user during installation?

I also tried identifying the username of the SID by using the wmic command in cmd and it was not found to be in the domain.



Please let me know if it's safe to attach the files on here as they can contain sensitive information of my network and user names, etc.


Thank you very much and I will check back in a few minutes.

Kind Regards,
D

I want to update my 4 Office computers to Windows 10 Pro.  I just want to update the OS from Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro and leave existing applications and data as is.

I thought purchasing would be very straightforward but I see many options and prices.

On Amazon I see a Win 10 Pro on a USB for $189.  I see other offers for Win 10 Pro OEM for much less.

Question:
Where to buy Win 10 Pro?  I want to get a good price but some of the prices I see are suspiciously low.

Is there a difference between the OEM version and the others?

I am running Windows 10 on my new Lenovo laptop.  All of a sudden, when I try to print from MS Office programs I get the following message (see below).  I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, and it prints a test page fine …. and also prints from the browser and other programs, just not from MS Office programs (which is where I print 95% of everything).  This is a serious problem, and I don't understand the error message (see below).  Please help.  


Oh, and the next window says "Printer Not Ready" …. but it is.

Thanks,

Phil

I’ve a group policy being applied from a demoted server, how can I remove it?

I am upgrading several Windows 7 Pro computers to Windows 10 Pro.  I have a usb drive that contains the iso image for WIndows 10 Pro and a program to mount the iso.  When the install has finished with updates it begins to install Windows 10 Pro and then says that the computer will reboot several times.  My question is, when can I eject the usb drive that is plugged in?  When the computer reboots it tries to boot to the flash drive.  Other than changing this in the BIOS, is there a time before the 1st reboot that I can eject the USB drive (or pull it I guess since I am not seeing a windows screen at the time of install) and it will not need to read any data from it, or do I need to go the BIOS route?

Setup a remote Windows 10 (1903) PC for a customer the other day.

All available updates were successfully completed, however shortly after I had to perform a PC Reset due to an issue with the system's network adapter defaulting to the "public" network profile rather than the set "private" profile.

The reset installation completed successfully and the user files were restored from backup.

I noticed no "new" updates were available, and the update history is empty, however uninstall updates does show 4 or 5 updates

I downloaded a .NET update (kb4516115) to attempt to install manually, but receive an error stating the security update was already installed.

Short of performing a clean install

Is there a way I can get the PC's update database to see what's installed and update itself
OR
Is there a way to force a re-download/re-install of all updates

I've already tried resetting the update tool with no change

My wife installed Holdem Manager 3 on her Windows 10 Home computer for my son.
https://www.holdemmanager.com/hm3/

We gave my son a limited account (Windows 10). When he runs the application, it asks for the admin's password which my wife entered. I don't know whether there is a timeout, but when he closes HM3 down, and brings it up again, it does not ask for a password if he didn't log out of Windows.

Since we are not giving him the admin password, we would him to be able to start the application without having us to enter the admin password.

I tried two things:
1) ~10 years ago, I succeeded in setting users rights to full control. So I did that for HM3.exe as well as the other applications in that folder. There were about 170 dll's, so I did not try to change them.

2) I tried the steps in this link, but the application did not start.

Any idea why this link might fail for HM3?


I found other links which I have not read yet:

Will any of these links work for HM3?

Thanks!

I have a new pc with win10. My old printer, an HP Laserjet P1606dn is connected to its network.
For a few days now, when I print a page, it prints an unlimited number of copies, so I have to stop it each time.
It even happens when I print from Notepad a file that only contains "aaa".
Very annoying Indeed.
Anybody knows how to fix that?

I've just had answers given and accepted to a previous question titled "Exchange Server in the Cloud".  A recap of my needs is just below.
1) Laptops must meet HIPAA compliance regulations.  This will mean tweaking the BIOS settings of each laptop and setting Windows 10 Computer Configuration to specific settings.
2) Laptops will join a "guest" wireless network at any facility they enter in order to reach their 3rd Party software vendor via an internet browser.
     a) This method may require an online VPN service to insure encryption of data transmitted while connected to the "guest" network . . . or,
     b) A personal Mifi device would be used if a "guest" network is not available.
3) End users will be using Office 365 and Exchange Server in the cloud for email transmissions - which would be hosted by any number of different vendors.

Although it would be time consuming, on any 1 laptop I can get a new one out of the box and handle all the tasks mentioned above.  However, I need to do this on at least 30 laptops now and numerous laptops in the future.

Using the same laptop Make/Model, is the following possible?
Create an image file using Microsoft's MDT which would automate all these tasks, i.e.:
1) Reset the BIOS to needed settings
2) Automatically install the online VPN service
3) Automatically install Office 365
