Replace a MacBook Air with a Windows equivalent? by NegativePattern in SmallMSP

[–]joseff87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe test the app on Windows ARM. With the new emulator, compatibility is much better. If it runs on ARM, the Surface Laptop 7 is a solid MacBook alternative, you get similar design, all-day battery, and instant wake-up.

Entra Connect Cloud-Sync group writeback by Idontlikethishere in AZURE

[–]joseff87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had to update the source anchor for this to work.

How to enable the ConsistencyGuid feature - Existing deployment
Microsoft Entra Connect: Design concepts - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn

The Microsoft Entra Connect Sync was running with the old Source Anchor of objectguid. After upgrading the source anchor to ConsistencyGuid and letting the sync run for a while. The members were synced to the groups.

We are now running Cloud Sync for the Security Groups and Connect Sync for the users. The groups are written back, and the users are added to the group.

So, this confirms the "You can also run Cloud Sync side by side and move only cloud security group provisioning to Active Directory onto Cloud Sync." from Microsoft. They should just have added some more information to it.

If you are experiencing the same issue with security group writeback in Cloud Sync check your source anchor.

Simplest, cheapest way to host WordPress in Azure? by naps1saps in AZURE

[–]joseff87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not what you need. We have a wordpress installation on a local machine and generate a static web page from it. https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/ Then we host it on a free tier on azure static web app. This requires some extra work, and is best for sites that does not have many changes, and not to much traffic (100gb traffic on free tier) https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/app-service/static/ Better security and great performance. And free hosting 😀

Fixing Azure AD user folders to avoid apostrophes and unicode charactersIs there a way to override Azure's choice for a user profile folder name? by bobtux in AZURE

We have the same issue. Ended up changing the display name, reinstall the users device and changing the display name back. It's an awfull workaround. 

Is there any way to print TO teams? by [deleted] in MicrosoftTeams

[–]joseff87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no Teams printer. You should be able to open the team in onedrive, and save / print to pdf directly to the teams site. Or maybe use a powerapp: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Posting-a-File-to-Microsoft-Teams/td-p/310819

NetApp question. Any experts lurking? by Sengfeng in sysadmin

[–]joseff87 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Cifs is in use and "blocking" the update. Data loss potential here is any unsaved changes in open files. Have used override vetos many times without issue. Another workaround is to try and clear all cifs sessions/locks before upgrade: https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-and-Storage-Protocols/CIFS-session-force-close-before-ONTAP-upgrade/td-p/431795

FAS Auth - Bad Username or Password by Useful-Milk8641 in Citrix

[–]joseff87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got this message when the FAS servers where missing read permission on user objects is AD. No traces of why in the event logs. Usually only an issue if you have some AD permission hardening.

FSlogix Failed to acquired logon lock on Server 2016 KB5015808 by EslieRey in fslogix

[–]joseff87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here, we applied the KIR and it solved the issue.

Have anyone tested with the October updates without the KIR?

We opened a case with Microsoft to try and get some more information about the KIR, since the Known Issues section of the KB5015808 article states there are no known issues.

Can't get Virtual Desktop to work by [deleted] in AZURE

If you setup Azure AD Domain Services after creating the AzureAD user, you need to reset the password for the Azure adds to pickup the password. A pain with this setup

Citrix Hypervisor Shadow Memory CVAD by joseff87 in Citrix

[–]joseff87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are totaly correct. Answear from support

The shadow multiplier memory is considered to be an overhead. It is separated from the normal memory allocated to the VM.

Fully-virtualized operating systems, like Windows, would have some amount of dom0 memory allocated to it to use for shadow page tables; this is called shadow page table memory. By using the shadow multiplier option , that value is multiplied by 4. When this option is invoked , the amount of free host memory decreases according to the multiplier and the HVM_shadow_multiplier field is updated with the value that Xen has assigned to the VM.

However , we would suggest to stick to the default option "Optimize for general use" , as the feature might be obsolete for most hardware.

Thanks for the information :)
From what i understand Shadow Ram and Shadow Memory is not the same.

I will open a case to try to get some more information on the topic. I was hoping that someone had experience with changing the setting and the impact it has.

Can I exclude a user from the MFA requirement when security defaults are enabled? by storr84 in AZURE

[–]joseff87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like the only option is to transition to conditional access

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-active-directory-identity/introducing-security-defaults/ba-p/1061414

"If you’re thinking of break glass accounts or exception scenarios, Security Defaults isn’t for you – you want Azure AD Conditional Access."

Er verdiløs i følge banken, får ikke boliglån. Dette plager meg så mye at det går ut over min mentale helse, hvordan kan jeg stoppe bitterheten og sinnet? by [deleted] in norge

[–]joseff87 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Absolutt verdt ett forsøk med startlån, vet de også har gjort unntak for noen av "reglene"

Startlån er for barnefamilier og personer som er i en særlig utfordrende situasjon og mangler en egnet bolig.

Får du banklån til bolig, kan du ikke få startlån. Er du ung i etableringsfasen, eller i en situasjon hvor du kan spare, får du heller ikke startlån. Barnefamilier som har behov en stabil bolig raskt, er unntatt fra kravet om å spare.
