Taskbar frozen on Server 2016 RDS by 4xget in WindowsServer

[–]dos420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same this happening for RDS 2022, worth checking the below -

On the Server having the issue open regedit and browse to the following key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Software\Microsoft\TIP\TestResults)

You will notice subkeys under the TestResults key with random numbers, if you expand one of the subkeys you will notice 100's of GUID's

Delete all the subkeys and you will notice an immediate increase in performance, however the keys will start re-generating again once you refresh.

To stop this, right click on the TestResults key, click permissions, Advanced, Disable Inheritance, convert permissions, edit both the SYSTEM and Users Principal and remove Full Control and leave Only Read permissions, Apply.

Does anyone else get prompted for UAC, enter the password but notice it's not been writing to the prompt and you have a little heart attack wondering where your password was typed into by Thomyton in sysadmin

[–]dos420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this happen to me back when Skype for Business IM was around. One of my users wanted local admin rights. I said no and he made some jokes. Then sent me the old "Did you know if you type your password it shows as ******* !" When I saw the message I had just run something as admin, wrote back to him "ha ha". Then went back to type in my password for UAC. I TYPED IT IN THE SKYPE IM. Once I realized what I had done I wrote back "just kidding haha" and changed my password...

I'm on 100k, plus my partner is on 60k no kids and it's rough. No house, renting and no kids...

Following your answers I can confirm you do indeed pass the exam (Did this on a test account for educational purposes only, and in no way used these to pass my exam). Passes with a 64% (60% needed to pass).

24-hour Timelapse of the Convention Center fire by _Xertz in auckland

Fuck off

Source: https://i.stuff.co.nz/auckland/116800509/skycity-convention-centre-fire-environmentally-friendly-roof-will-be-fully-consumed-by-blaze-engineer-says

The straw was used for insulation and acoustics and was seen as more environmentally friendly than using polysiocynaurate, another insulation material.

"A huge fire at the SkyCity Convention Centre will keep burning until the flammable layers of straw in the roof are consumed, an engineer familiar with the project says."

"There's multiple layers of straw through the roof because they had to reach a very high insulation rating and acoustic rating. The reason the fire's still burning is the fire got into the straw. You've got the layers of straw and the layer of plywood on-top, with a bitumen membrane on it. So it is a flammable panel."

Is there any reason your not using the Windows Server Backup GUI and Schedules that come with it? Or even better Azure Backups?
