I have a client who is slowly going to O365 and has asked us to pick up where another consultancy left off. Some objects were not syncing with O365, even though the OU was included in the AADConnect config. First issue was easy - the UPN suffix on a number of objects had not been…
Continue readingRecently, my staff an I have been subjected to a bunch of phone call spam from http://www.parallels.com I'm getting calls from a UK number, + 442033276423, asking us to partner.... the first time, it was "no thanks", subsequent calls have been met with less friendly suggestions, and then a block. Still, no company with decent…
Continue readingAmazed that this exists, even more amazed that its only just been found... or at least publicised that its been found. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/09/07/spoof_an_ethernet_adapter_on_usb_and_you_can_sniff_credentials_from_locked_laptops/

Assuming it works, and the performance is ok, ill be signing up. Although its unlikely at release, it would get even better if I could play my one and only PS3 store game, Super Stardust HD. Microsoft have right royally fucked PC gamers by forcing "Play anywhere" games to be…
Continue readingI wrote previously about how good the 550 is for a $200 phone. Sure, its a little slow sometimes.... but overall, its very good. Lately, my battery life has been quite diminished.... as per all batteries once they get a little older. Went online to find a new battery, bl-t5a.... could only find them from…

Unfortunately, the integration services version doesn't seem to be exposed via properties exposed…
Continue readingHad a situation recently when building a 2012 R2 RDS farm that the message "Licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host is not configured " kept appearing, even though the licensing server was activated etc. and the server was configured to use it. Thankfully, this site had the answer http://www.tbngconsulting.com/blog/bid/404182/Licensing-mode-for-the-Remote-Desktop-Session-Host-is-not-configured $obj = gwmi -namespace…

Continue readinghttp://www.pcgamer.com/tim-sweeney-thinks-microsoft-will-make-steam-progressively-worse-with-windows-10-patches/ I think he is spot on. Games for windows live was a disaster, UWP is un-configurable. Currently, in my opinion, the reason why people use the windows platform is that it is (or maybe was is more accurate) flexible, partly natively and partly because of the huge array of software and hacks out there…
Continue readingHave had a few clients request scripts to automatically set assign licenses to users in Office 365 – Generally pretty simple. Recently I had a client ask to disable a particular service within a license – again, not all that difficult – unless you want to actually check if a license/service is already configured and…
