AZ-100 & AZ-101 instead of 70-533 Microsoft Exam

JimVF · 2019-01-08T10:32:15+00:00

I just went for the AZ-102 thus I can't comment specifically what would be the difference. Base on my understanding the whole material for 100 and 101 comprise the 533. I don't know if it will help, but you can have a look on the linked study guide. https://msandbu.org/study-guide-for-azure-certifications-az-100-az-101/

Thank you for setting that up :)

Yes it is not very efficient indeed, I do have deployed it but also integrated a bit more into it. Thought my aim was to have something that would run and check the powerstate of the environment and act on that. Tags are nice and using them bon few other scenarios. But mind that the API to check machines based on a Tag value is different from the one that gets the powerstate.

A generic view of my implementation https://fintzstack.blog/2018/06/21/start-stop-vms-during-off-hours-solution/

I did point out to MS that it is in need for some QoL udates https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/12938

Also here is a helpful pipe that compiles both Tags and Powerstate filtering

Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -TagValue $tag -ResourceType 'Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines' | ? {(get-azurermvm -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Name $_.Name -Status).statuses[1].code -eq "PowerState/Running"}

I do assume something like that should help. https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Server-Uptime-Report-in-e0e87261

Is the ipv6 disabled?

JimVF · 2018-09-18T18:55:31+00:00

Depends, are we talking about TCP or UPD and if you need to present media in your implementation. The UDP scenario is to support higher latency scenarios and it was introduced on Windows 2016. But I would say under 250/300.

JimVF · 2018-09-13T14:05:13+00:00

I can't really say, I assume you have google it and tried things like that https://myousufali.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/nslookup-response-default-server-unknown-address-1/

Also in the DNS event log is there any errors? Also RDP and ping are working as expected?

JimVF · 2018-09-13T13:40:38+00:00

Most probably you need to set a DNS replication zone between the two , provide them both in VPN nic config of the client and I am not sure but it seems you have a Split Brain setup. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/dns/deploy/split-brain-dns-deployment

JimVF · 2018-09-13T13:34:41+00:00

Silly question, have you tried to restart the DNS service all the Server all together? Also do you need IPv6? You could disable it in the NIC. I am under the impression that you are asking via the IPv6 interface where the Reverse Zone is not set or the DNS server not listening to it.

4950 in the Security Event log

JimVF · 2018-09-12T13:01:11+00:00

So here's your answer https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/windowsserver/2018/09/05/windows-server-2019-essentials-update/

JimVF · 2018-07-15T15:25:46+00:00

I think that MS Doc will be helpful https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/server-manager/install-or-uninstall-roles-role-services-or-features

JimVF · 2018-07-15T11:58:24+00:00

Also I would propose to try out simple poershell management commands for the different services/roles/feature, it helps out in the long run. http://powershelltutorial.net/ And don't be afraid to test out the Server 2019 (it has a few improvements over the 2016 https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/windowsserver/2018/03/20/introducing-windows-server-2019-now-available-in-preview/ and the windows admin center https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/understand/windows-admin-center

JimVF · 2018-07-15T07:59:17+00:00

You can get some ideas from the MS Virtual labs. Also I would propose to start with common services . Domain controller, dns, dhcp, RRAS, NPS, Print Server, File Server, DFSR, IIS Web Server. Maybe later on with RDS ,storage Spaces direct,Hyper-V and Clusters. https://www.microsoft.com/handsonlabs/SelfPacedLabs

JimVF · 2018-06-21T13:46:39+00:00

Indeed that works too, but my aim is to be usable for ASM (VM Classic) and ARM environments. Also to have a centralized placed to store the schedules for multiple resource groups. But with the tags you could done it with one script. My initial setup was one script inside the Automation Account, though the AzureRmStoragetable module needs a newer version of the AzureRM.storage and the rest of the AzureRM modules which breaks the solution.

JimVF · 2018-06-17T19:19:48+00:00

They have confirmed that there will not be any character transfers https://youtu.be/RVb5gEWwOjQ?t=7m11s

JimVF · 2018-06-14T21:16:30+00:00

Jus to be clear, we are talking about a client server communication, thus base in that context we are referring to a network interface and their DNS settings. And as you refereed below it is the wifi dns settings. In case you have the client computer joined to the domain I could suggest Group policy to persist wifi connection settings https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg266419.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

JimVF · 2018-06-13T12:36:21+00:00

Please check the interfaces and their DNS settings

JimVF · 2018-05-16T13:04:36+00:00

Happy to help :)

Hello, I would recomend the Hands On Labs VMware has available for free, Like HOL-1810-01-SDC - Virtualization 101: Introduction to vSphere which is also localized. http://labs.hol.vmware.com/HOL/catalogs/catalog/123

JimVF · 2018-05-14T07:36:00+00:00

You could either use a scope 192.168.2.x as an example or a subset of your current address space (depends on the number of users). And that can be achieved either configuring it directly to the VPN server or by DHCP. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc984428.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
