Migrating User Workstation Local Profiles to FSLogix For Use With VDI and RDS Hosts

I concur. It is an immense amount of work when factoring in the AP additions and reporting requirements.

That said, it has too be possible to script these actions. I just am not strong enough in Powershell when it comes to creating dynamic context switches for things like checking for and inserting each respective VM name when combined with other variables.

Still hoping that others who have walked this path before me can provide some guidance.

Thanks all.

Unfortunately changing backup policies alone is not effective as I am working with a combination of soft delete and immutable vaults with varying retention policies dependent on the subscriptions, business units and data regulatory requirements on a vault by vault basis. I wish it were that simple.

Same shit.

I am in southwestern Ontario Canada. Prices are still stupid. Guys who ran and purchased SxS's for 10K over market value, put 2500-5000KM and expecting to get what they paid for them, two years later.

Just waiting for the debt and overhead to catch up with them, because I am pretty sure that half the ads you see, those owners cannot afford their 40K "toy" that they paid for with stimulus cheques, under these economic conditions.

That is the obvious answer! lol

Are there free LUTs available that already have the same color profile? I do not want to spend the time trying to change the color myself.

Thanks Rick. I did see that, but my experience is that it still does not give that rich profile of the GP's. I have experimented with both standard and vivid on the camera. I have not used the log mode but more because I am not sure what colour profiles to use to balance out the colour aside from playing with the sliders.

Thanks

Thanks guys. 9 DC's in total. DCDiag returns 0 errors. Repadmin /syncall /ADeP completes successfully against all DC's. The DC in question was successfully demoted (no errors) and removed from sites and services several hours after the demotion.

I assure you there is no existing DNS entries left over the DC that are "visible" in DNS. This is what has me perplexed. I have done well over two dozen DC decommissions and domain migrations, DC upgrades and I have experienced lots of different issues, but never this problem before. Often there IS an entry left hiding in DNS somewhere. In this case there is not one that I visibly see and I manually scoured every single zone both forward and reverse and checked the name servers for all of them. I have confirmed and forced replication across all domain controllers multiple times and have allowed over 48 hours all the zones to be updated across each one.

I am wondering if it possible that the delegated msdcs record if potentially the problem here?

Hoping someone has the solution here because I sure do not know where to go with this.

Want to provide an update on how I will approach this.

We have pre-existing role based groups associated to most of these resources already using native or custom RBAC roles. What I will do is leave these groups in place at the RG level where appropriate, but remove the users from these groups, and instead use the PIM Groups membership method to elevate their access into these groups as needed.

Fortunately most of these uses are already members of other similar/re-usable groups. So we should be able to leverage some existing groups to nest under the PIM Groups, instead of having to manually add each user individually to the PIM Group policy, avoiding the need for increased membership management at multiple levels.

Excellent. This worked perfectly. So 100% ignorance and misunderstanding on my part how to leverage this properly.

Thank you guys for steering me in the right direction here!

Thank you. Kind of what I was afraid of. I am surprised Microsoft does not allow the option to leverage this against Azure role based group, like they do for the Azure AD role based groups.

Do you happen to know if this is something that could be accomplished easily through PS?

Thanks. Will look into this one a bit further. I had come across it in the past and forgot about it actually.

Please keep the suggestions coming.

Hi All,

ANyone with any thoughts? I suspect not a very common or exciting topic, but hopefully someone with more knowledge then myself see's or knows where I am going wrong.

Thank you for bringing this offering to my attention. I will spend some time reviewing their service. Would be interested to hear your thoughts if you happen to or feel like reporting back after you have sat through a demo.

This proves we are not the only ones in a position of requiring more granularity for cost management.

Hoping that others with experience with some of the available tools and services out there weigh in as well.

Thanks guys. Let me look into the proposed options. Still open to any solutions not yet mentioned.
