We are experiencing the issue mentioned here where the recent KB4467684 disables Outlook 2016 search on our Server 2016 terminal servers, preventing everyone from searching their inboxes. One workaround is to uninstall KB4467684, but then we lack the security updates. So the only workable option is to add the following to registry:
Create a new DWORD here: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search\
named  PreventIndexingOutlook and set the value to 1

This re-enables Outlook search after the update so that users can search their inbox. But now we have a second issue which may or may not be related. When they compose a new email and try to add an attachment, the Search Documents box in the upper right of the screen you see when browsing for attachments no longer works. This kind of makes sense because we just added "PreventIndexingOutlook" to the registry, but we cannot remove that key because then they can't search their inboxes.

I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and what the fix might be?

I have a few Win 2016 server vms that are having issues connecting to WSUS 6.3 which runs on Win 2012R2
The errors I get are
8024401f
8024401c

Logs show this

I am able to load this page http://WSUS.domain.com:8530/ClientWebService/client.asmx
with this result.

Client Service


You have created a service.

To test this service, you will need to create a client and use it to call the service. You can do this using the svcutil.exe tool from the command line with the following syntax:

svcutil.exe http://wsus.domain.com:8530/ClientWebService/Client.asmx?wsdl

You can also access the service description as a single file:

http://wsus.domain.com:8530/ClientWebService/Client.asmx?singleWsdl

Ive read so many articles about fixes in IIS< but none have worked, nor have there been and changes on WSUS server.
I have another WSUS on another domain and I'm having the same issue there.

On client side ive done the usual but no luck.

net stop wuauserv 
net stop cryptSvc 
net stop bits 
net stop msiserver 
Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old 
Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

The client gets added to WSUS but shows not yet reported.

Ive deployed the new 2016 VM from few different templates with same result.

I have some other 2016 vms, from same templates from a while ago, and those are not showing this error. So I'm not sure why these new ones are.

accidentally installed the DC role and promoted it on our Terminal server.
demoted and removed the role. now the Remote Desktop Management service will not start.

what would be the steps to resolve this? i'd prefer NOT removing the role and reinstalling as there are many remoteapp and other configs setup.

alternatively i have a backup i can restore from before the screw-up, however i'm not sure if that's advisable due to the promotion?

I am using Backup Exec 2016 and trying to back up a Hyper-V virtual Server 2016 with Exchange.  Backups were running fine until I installed Exchange 2016, I am now unable to backup that server.  I get the following error in Event Viewer on the host server and nothing in the virtual server:

A VSS writer has rejected an event with error 0x800423f4, The writer experienced a non-transient error.  If the backup process is retried,
the error is likely to reoccur.
. Changes that the writer made to the writer components while handling the event will not be available to the requester. Check the event log for related events from the application hosting the VSS writer.

Hello,

Recently installed 20 2016 RDS user CALs and since then nobody has permission to download any files from the internet, whether from online banking or other government sites. Error states the security settings do not allow it.  Before installing the CALs the users were working in grace period and all was fine.

If I use RD Licensing Diagnoser it says at the top
Licenses are not available for this Remote Desktop Session Host server and RD licensing diagnoser has identified licensing problems for the RD Session host server.

The Remote Desktop Session Host Server is in Per User licensing mode and No Redirector mode, but license server ……. does not have any installed licenses with the following attributes: Product Version:Windows Server 2016Licensing mode.

Looking at the licensing server info it says
Version                           Windows Server 2016
………………..
……………
The license server has the following licenses installed and available

RDS Per User CAL      Windows Server 2016     20 installed     0 available


I have already checked in the registry that the value 4 is assigned to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM\Licensing Core\LicensingMode

Also the name of the licensing and host server is correct (just one machine).

I have been looking for abut 2 hours now and am not finding anything helpful.

Please help!

Thank you

Alasdair Barclay

Unable to see shares when I access server 2016 through UPN path from any client/server on same domain. I believe it could be firewall rule SMB over TCP which is blocked. I can ping the server but can't access it.

I'm running Windows server 2016, trial version
error.png

i have windows 2016 server
I have data coming in on port 3299
When i hits the server i need to remap it to port 9013 as there is an app on this server which is listening on this port

is this possible/
There is not router, the server sits directly on the internet so it needs to be done it windows

Currently we are using AD on Windows server 2016 and Exchange Server 2016. We want to add Microsoft office online exchange 365 as a load balancer in DAG. It is possible?

Is there server specific coding needed for Web.config files  where the website is uploaded to a Windows server? Believe it or not; “Verio; my website hosing company does not know which version of Windows Server they are using --  they only know that it is Windows server!” Please look at my web config file and let me know if anything stands out.

OK so we have an in house marketing database that used to connect to a remote MySQL database on a Linux server. I decided to migrate to a MySQL server on our in house computer that also serves as the domain controller. everything is working fine except when I try to export a CVS. This was all operational when it was connecting to the Linux server prior. Please give me a hand guys!

The error that I am getting is below:
