    I have been using Wyse thinOS clients but perhaps the same applies to Axel ones. In order to get the windows login screen you need to set your session to RDP security Layer instead of Negotiate or SSL. Server Manager > Remote Desktop Services > %CollectionName% > Tasks > Edit Properties > Secuurity > Set Security Layer to RDP Security Layer I have the requirement for connections only using Network Level Authentication turned off, but this might not apply for your environment/axel clients.

    There is the manufacturers 1 year warranty, I didn't ask many questions about extended warranty as I have one unopened tucked away should there be a break down.

    I moved all of my switches over to Ubiquiti a few years back, Went for the EdgeSwitch variants as at the time the UniFi switches were so new they were not with UK suppliers. I have had almost no problems with the switches since putting them in, I find them really robust and excellent value for money compared to others I had quotes for. Support can be a bit lacking with ubiquiti stuff, there is a really active support forum but getting anything in the way of answers from Ubiquiti themselves is really difficult!

    I've been using Microtik SFPs in my EdgeSwitches for a while now, the only quirk is that for one reason or another they don't auto negotiate and will only connect properly when I manually set the connection speed. You might have already done this but its worth checking.

    Thank you for your help working through this one. I do home m$oft patch this at some point so that it is more clear when these settings are applied.

    I have seen some online forum posts relating to Windows 10 with the Anniversary update installed stating that the same thing is happening to them, but interestingly they are reporting that the actual behaviour of the Widows update matches the GPO setting just that the GUI shows no changes and even indicates that automatic downloads and installs will take place. I will have to monitor this for a while as there are no automatic updates left for me to install right now.

    I have created the GPO with one policy object defined, to disable Windows Update, linked it to the OU where my server sits, and made sure in RSOP that the policy is applying. So far as I can tell everything is setup correctly.

    I have, multiple times (which is a pain in itself as it takes so long...I'm sure I read somewhere that we would be getting restarts which don't involve rebooting the hardware also) There are a few Technet forum posts with people looking to do the same thing as me and encountering the same thing where the GPO is seemingly being ignored, I'm watching them closely. I'm totally stumped, it seems like it should be a simple thing but I've spend days on this now.

    It seems I have missed something somewhere, I have set the GPO as detailed above and checked using rsop that it is being applied by the server, there are no other GPOs overriding this one, I have even changed the same setting to disabled on the local policy for the server but nothing changes. I do not get the orange text saying 'some settings are managed by your organisation' I am tempted to simply disable the windows update service but this doesn't feel like the proper way of doing it.

    I will give this another look, I assumed the front page would give me an indication that the setting had changed. thanks for the pointer.

    I guess I'll calm my itchy fingers for now then, I'll stick with Server 2012 R2 for the time being that way I can control when my server restarts without having to install a whole new service. Thanks guys.

    Hi All, I have been looking into upgrading my Hyper-v hosts from Server 2012 R2 to Server 2016. Everything seems to be in order except for one stumbling block - Windows Updates. I have installed Server 2016 with a GUI, not clustered and no WSUS, I cannot find a way of preventing Windows updates from downloading, installing, and most importantly I cannot find a way of totally preventing the server from rebooting until I manually chose to do so myself. With the existing 2012 R2 setup I either shut down the VMs and perform windows update manually or migrate the VMs to a different host and perform the updates, again manually. Does anyone know of a way to replicate this in Server 2016? Surely it must be possible to turn off the automatic updates...not everyone has clustering. I have configured this GPO setting but the Windows Update app didn't change. Thanks in advance
  13. AndiMarv
    Yes, that has been my experience. My previous 2012 R2 with windows 10 key was replaced with this one and my Win 7/8/10 clients are all licensed with that.

    I will want to activate server 2016 at some point so I've got the server 2016 key installed which activates the LTSB 2016 also.

    I make typos from time to time and have to do just this. I use powershell and run: Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -UserPrincipalName [email protected] -NewUserPrincipalName [email protected] be sure to change the users email address and what not in AD first and then manually sync afterwards...you'll be notified of any errors by email at that point.
