Ill give these a go today!

Afternoon, Hoping someone knows how this can be done... I have a family member who to put it bluntly cannot see much. I want to create a script (icon) that they can double click on the desktop that will make the screen huge so they can see things better. Then double click another script (icon) that makes the screen go back to normal size. So.. Script 1: Makes the screen large Script 2: Turns the screen back to normal size I have tried this by creating two user accounts on windows 7 and changing the resolution on one account. But it doesn't work, as it changes it for both users. Any help you be GREAT...

I can't help with the actual operation, but I cannot take codeine either and after an 11 hour operation i had they sure gave me some impressive pain killers. So don't worry about the pain. I've also got a scar from my throat all the way down past my belly button, you learn to live it pretty quickly. Think of the positives of the operation. PMA, and good luck!

Simple things I would check first: Has anything been installed in the last 24 hours? Has anything been changed in the last 24 hours? Loop back - check switches Disable AV - On the servers (briefly - not ideal but it will flag if thats the issue) is your SAN/NAS nearly at 100%? DNS records working? Forward and reverse replicating? If you can't find anything from the above: Look through Server logs Wireshark the network Start to isolate the ports/servers and the network after hours to narrow down which part of the network is causing the issue

Thanks for the responses guys. Still seems so strange that MS don't have a simple set of RDS lock down GPO's. I'm not best pleased to / or that confident going to low levels in regedit this late into the project and with a 200k RDS system as well. Its been to UAT, and QA so these will just a few bells and whistles!

Sorry C drive is already done as well. Thank you though

Good Afternoon, Im starting to lose the will to live with this now so thought I would sign in for some much needed help. Please see the image attached. I am trying to disable OR hide the below icons from file explorer for an RDS farm using server 2016 (RemoteApp) but most GPO's I have used so far have come from windows 10 'How To Guides'. So I am pretty sure you guys in the Education field will have already locked down your win 10 machines / networks using the group policies I'm searching for so any help would be GREAT...

@Ageekin10 its a strange one, its an external bit of software coming through a new RDS system and is been accessed globally but on an internal network. There are to many changes to the system and DB to make it a usual .exe roll out with shares. Also means i got the play with some new Dell FX2 kit with 3.something TB of Memory and 120 core processors!

This is what I ended up doing to resolve the issue: I copied the default domain policy into a new OU where the RDS servers are - removed the the AUP message (set to not configured) located here "Computer Configuration" -> "Policies" -> "Windows Settings" -> "Secuirty Settings" -> "local Polices" -> "Secuirty Options" -> "Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on" Rebooted the RDS web access server, job done and working. @Ageekin10 - We have chosen to remove the AUP as the users are accessing these remote apps internally so have already accepted the AUP once on log on, so need to do it for a 2nd.

Good Morning All, I am building a new 2016 RDS Farm on VMware. When the users log into the RemoteApps section is makes them accept the AUP on the Web Access Server. SO... long story short I need to disable the AUP policy appearing on this server and want to do it via Group Policy anyone know where this GP is? I cannot seem to find it. Thanks

Found them VMware website - products - downloads - VMware Vcenter Server Appliance - Update Bundle Incase anyone else has the same issue.

Good Afternoon, Ive just migrated a vCenter system from 5.5 to 6.5 (not as hard as I thought it would have been). Problem now is I want to update this again to the latest 6.5.x version. Using the update manager on the web interface or on the vCenter Server Appliance (log on and then updates) nothing appears more than: 6.5.0.14000 Build Number 7515524 Where I get the the newer updates please? Any Ideas? Thanks

Good Afternoon, Will a business premium O365 licence enable this feature? or will i need to purchase an enterprise licence CAL? Cannot seem to find the information required on any MS pages...

@Michael the upgrade is server 2003 to 2012. They have 2016 boxes though for RDS, Its a strange set up! Booming business / Forgotten IT.

Licensing is the reason for not using 2016. Thanks for the great insights! We all have different thoughts on the above! If it was straight forward we'd not be doing the job! A clean install will 99% be the way forward for me on this on this! However with a multiple files shares / software / sch tasks it will not be as straight forward as I hoped.

Really confused at the "do not upgrade suggestions". If the option is there, its the quickest and safest way to go! Take a snapshot of the system Upgrade Test Revert back to old snapshot (downtime is in the seconds) If this were an upgrade from 08-12 or 12-16, I'd not think twice. Ive seen it go right and wrong in the past, but why not use the tools if they are there? Interested in everyone else's views on this? (Currently testing the upgrade paths in a VM lab, Ill report back).

File shares / live environment / time / cost all play a part in this one! What I'd give to be back in an education setting, where we have planned downtime, and time to plan something! not a few days and over 10,000 users worldwide accessing some of the data on these servers! Then time zones come to play for data copying / replicating!!! reboots / switch offs etc

There 32bit Server 2003 Standard!!!! Looks like its proper migration...

Good Evening, Short side note - got a small ish job on for a company I know very well (evening type of job). Im sure the question has been asked many times before but I can not find the answer and know you people will know) System DC's - 2003 Multiple other servers from 2003-2016 VMWare 5.5 (will be upgrading this to 6.5 as well, but thats "quite straight forward")- 99% virtual system / hooked up to multiple SANs etc Question Can I direct upgrade from server 2003 R2 to 2012? Not the DC's they just want a couple of servers there are running a few bits of software on upgrading. Both are currently virtual machines. I know I can create a new server, move the file shares across, software etc. But was wondering if there is a direct path? Can not seem to find a straight answer.

@Steve21 That code does work! However this countdown one doesn't? any suggestions as to why? Knew I should have learnt code in the years as a NM... ar options = {   useEasing: true,   useGrouping: true,   separator: ',',   decimal: '.', }; var demo = new CountUp('myTargetElement', 0, 4165, 0, 2.5, options); if (!demo.error) {   demo.start(); } else {   console.error(demo.error); } From - https://inorganik.github.io/countUp.js/

@NotSoFast - Wix - I needed a site up in a day and did the job! until now...

The site I'm using will only except HTML code Thought I'd found it here: https://bootsnipp.com/snippets/5K6WW but it doesn't run!

Afternoon All, Im trying to get something like the below but in HTML not Javascript: https://inorganik.github.io/countUp.js/ Same size even same colour will do... Can anyone point me to where I could find the code online? As im not really a coder and by the looks of my google searches I'm not doing well online either!

Good Morning All, Im trying to work out if this is even possible! and if it is how? so I'm trying to: Send a mail merge out with the following: Email address Body text File (but the file is unique for each email address, its a PDF) Any ideas? or sites to point me in the right direction?

Thank You.... I do a lot of charity work for the Teenage Cancer Trust So Ill put it in there but also an animal charity Tom.
