Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Outlook Displays "need password"

Hello Everyone,
We have Windows 10 and Office 365 in our organisation.
sometimes Outlook stops to receive emails and on the bottom right shows it need password. However, when you click on it nothing happens.
The workaround is:
1- disconnect account from "Access work or school"
2- Clear credential manager from Control panel

but the problem is it happens again after couple of days and it is very frustrating to go through above steps again.
Any help is much appreciated.

How can I modify this script so that it pulls the BCC emails from a file, a text file for instance?

SubjectDate = InputBox("Date to be added to the subject:", "Enter date")
MailTo = "email1@gmail.com"
From = "mainemail@someprovider.com"
Subject = "This is a test " & SubjectDate
Body = "Hi, This is an VBScript to send email, Regards, User."
Username = "mainemail@someprovider.com"
Password = "passwordhere"
BCC = "email2@gmail.com"

Email MailTo, BCC, From, Subject, Body, Username, Password

Sub Email (MailTo, BCC, From, Subject, Body, Username, Password)
 Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
 With objMessage
  .Subject = Subject
  .From = From
  .To = MailTo
  .BCC = BCC
  .TextBody = Body
 End With
 With objMessage.Configuration.Fields
      .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
      .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.mail.com"
      .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
      .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "mainemail@someprovider.com"
      .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "passwordhere"
      .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
      .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = False
      .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60

Hi Expert,

I am currently learning Windows server 2012 on Hyper V on windows 10. I am getting "We can't sign you in with this credential because your domain isn't available." I am trying to login using the domain account(first time) on Windows 10 hyper v which have joined the domain. Below are the method I have tried.

- On Interactive logon: Number of previous logons to cache, set the value of “Do not cache logons” to 0.
- Set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 on Windows
* On my Windows Server, I did an ipconfig/all and the DNS address is weird ::1 follow by 127.0.0.1 below as alter dns address
* On my server manager the DNS and DHCP server are the same IP address
* Windows 10 client on Hyper-V not activated

Appreciate if any expert can advise me on.

Thanks!

Visual Studio 2015, SSDT, Report Authoring, Windows 10

I am having a very difficult time getting my VS2015 installation to include SSDT and Reporting Authoring Extension (for Fetxchxml). I have tried suggestions from the web, Stack Overflow and downloaded several versions of SSDT and Report Authoring Extensions. I have uninstalled versions that didnt work, rebooted and tried again.

I am thinking that if I can get the versions from someone where all three components are working on Windows, I should be able to get this working. I have had this working on other laptops, older versions of VS and other operating systems.

My environment is:
Dell Latitude i7 | 64-bit processor | x64 processor
Windows 10 | Version 1803 |Build 17134.167
Visual Studio Professional 2015 | Version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3

As for SSDT, not having a lot of problems installing this; it is where I try to install the Report Authoring Extensions that I encounter problems. I am able to get the RAE wizard to run (to failure) using the advice from this link: http://meganvwalker.com/creating-fetch-xml-reports-using-visual-studio/

When the RAE install fails it tells me that SSDT is not installed; I have tried many versions of SSDT, SSDT-BI, BIDS and Report Authoring starting with the VS2015 versions (and earlier versions).

I am just spinning my wheels.

Thank you.

We require a Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) server without Active Directory in the environment. We have around 5 users.

Is this a supported configuration by Microsoft? I am not able to find anything online.

What issues if any will I encounter with this RDSH setup without AD?

Thanks

Background Pictures NOT Found

I had selected 2 pictures from pictures folder to be used as background. I do not wish to keep them as background. In another word I wanted to delete them from the location in which they are stored at. The problem is they do not show up in the default location for the background. See screen captures. How do I go about deleting them? The 2 pictures are 1.The Water Falls and 2.The Red Rose.

Thank you.

Hello, I have a Windows 2012 Essentials server (AD, DNS and DHCP). I installed a new Windows 2016 Standard and promoted it to AD. I am having all sorts of weird issues. For example, I am getting no SYSVOL and NETDOMAIN folder on the new server post promotion of 2016. I tried doing the auto and non-auth DFSR sync but with no luck.

Are there any known issues between 2012 Esse and 2016 Std? Should I do the 2012 Esse to Std upgrade? I have an OVL for it. I am just afraid to do anything with the old server as its unreliable.

Here is my DCDIAG output:

I remember that Windows Vista or Windows 7 used to have a way where a user could request or establish a remote support session with tech using a feature built into Windows where the remote tech could actually interact with the user's session while the user watches and the wasn't limited to viewing a locked computer screen.

Is this still available in Windows 10?

If so how can this be done?

We have one user who keeps getting locked out of her account when trying to login to her computer. She can come in at the start of her shift, and she is locked out on her first try. The IT staff will unlock her, then a few hours later, we get a call from her that she is locked out again. We have rebuilt her profile on the local machine, still have the problem. We switched her to another machine, and she is still getting locked out. Over that last few weeks, we have tried having her call us before she logs in to check if she is locked out before she logs in. She is locked out and a few times, she isn't locked out, but then a few hours later, she is locked out. Changed her password, locked out using the new password after one try. I have also reinstalled Windows 10 and reinstalled all programs and files she needs on the off chance there is a program trying to login for her under an old password. This also did not fix the problem. We have checked event viewer and don't see under her username. We have also tried logging in for her using her credentials while she is standing there, and she will be locked out. This doesn't happen all of the time, but more likely than not it happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

We use Seagate STDR5000200 external hard drives for backing up our data on our systems each month.

These systems we backup data for would include Windows 10 Pro, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003, all systems are using BIOS.

The Seagate STDR5000200 external hard drive we have contains every piece of data for our business such as databases and Microsoft office files.

We prefer to keep our external backup drive portable so that we can bring our external drives offsite.

This drive is replaced each month at a time by another drive which contains backup data where we switch between two drives each month backing up our systems.

These external hard drives are formatted as NTFS.

These drives are recognised by all our PCs.

We have had a problem with these Seagate external hard drives where, if we have a backup running and the power of our PC goes off, the drive becomes corrupt and we lose our data.

This has happened with our Seagate drives more than once.

What would be the best external hard drive to use for backup of our system's data that is fail safe and portable?

Thanks,
Robbie

WinMail.exe for Windows Server 2016?

We've long used WinMail.exe on a Windows server 2008 to process outgoing emails from an app hosted on that machine. The beauty of WinMail.exe is that it runs as a service, or more precisely, it doesn't have to be actually OPEN and running on the server all the time.

We're now migrating to Windows Server 2016, and do not see any references to WinMail.exe there. Can someone suggest an alternative? Mozilla Thunderbird has been recommended to us, but we're not sure if it can run in the background.

Thoughts?

Hello everyone and thank you as always in advance for your insights, etc. Much appreciated.
Situation: We have a FFL/DFL at 2008 R2 with two 2008 R2 DC in place. We are moving to two new 2016 DC shortly and once all DC's are 2016 (we are decommissioning the two 2008R2 once the two 2016 are okay). I was going to raise our FFL/DFL to 2016, but cannot do it since our virtual environment (VMware 6.0) will not work , is not supported, with FFL/DFL 2016 because of this https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2071592 so I can only go to 2012R2. So the question is how does one raise the FFL/DFL from 2008R2 to 2012R2? Also is that process different from raising the FFL/DFL from 2008R2 to 2016 (just curious)? And does it make a difference that we have 2016 DC, but are only going to 2012R2 on the FFL/DFL (I am assuming that is okay). Finally, what rollback features are available in our scenario --> 2 x 2016 DC, 2008 R2 FFL and DFL that has been raised to 2012 R2 FFL and DFL? Cheers :-)

Setup Office 365 tenant. Got AD Sync working. Setup myemaildomain.co.uk.

Email in and out works.

Have used ADSIEdit to add proxyaddresses. Set my PRIMARY in capitals and this is reflected in the O365 user properties.

However, everytime we send an email.. it is xxx@xxx.onmicrosoft.com

I cannot seem to change it as it is reflected as xxx@myemaildomain.co.uk is the primary reply email address. And of course I can only amend local domain as this is an AD Connect setup.

scenario. Username AA, BB, CC. Domain @sausages.co,uk

UPN AA@sausages.onmicrosoft.com
I want AANAME@sausages.co.uk to be my reply.

No matter what I do, I get aa@sausages.onmicrosoft.com Even tried adding new UPN suffixes in Domains and Trusts.

Can you please advise?

Many thanks in advance

Minimum password length requirement not applied.
In a 2003 domain level, with windows 7 and windows 10 clients.
I have adjusted the default domain policy, that is linked to the domain, not an OU.
The minimum requirement is 7 characters, but when I require the user to change password at login they can enter 1 digit.

The GPO is applied, and Group Policy results confirms the value is 7, but still we can change with just 1 digit.
I have verified with another costumer, running newer servers that the GPO is correct.
I have also checked the other applied GPO`s to make sure they do not interfere with the password policy.

I am trying to add an exchange profile to Microsoft Office 2016 (windows 10). It picks up the email address, however, when it is authenticating it asks for the credentials, but does not accept them and pops straight back up.

So far i have tried; both repairs for office, autodiscover reg keys, checking autodiscover on dns host, Adding a Disable WAM keys, uninstalling office, removing from domain, windows updates.

I have managed to add the profile to Windows 10 Mail and it works.
