Windows Server 2016 RS3 stop FRS support

June 20, 2017, 11:49 pm technology

Hi everyone

A small update, now we must be sure FRS SYSVOL share are migrated to DFRS to allow a 2016 DC RS3 to be able to dcpromo.

) https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4025991/windows-server-2016-rs3-no-longer-supports-frs

Windows Server 2016 RS3 can no longer be added as an Active Directory domain controller (DC) to an existing domain that is still using File Replication Service (FRS) for replication of the SYSVOL share.

Hard Exchange Migration (2007 to 2016)

June 16, 2017, 4:07 pm technology

Hi everyone

Today I will discuss a nonstandard way to migrate a Exchange 2007 to a Exchange 2016.

As we know it, we must say goodbye to Exchange 2007 because it mo longer receive support

The bestpractice is to install a 2010 to do a two step migration, but in some case if you can't, you could do a one step migration (for small customer)

That imply this;

You have to save all users email in PST.

On the server by exporting all data via the Exchange CLI.
or, PC by PC by exporting each account.

I suggest to go PC by PC if you want to backup the Outlook autocomplete cache

There will be a downtime in the email flow.

The step;

Do a good backup
Redirect the SMTP port to the new server, even if it does bot exist yet. The goal is to stop new email receiving.
Backup all users email, don't forget shared room/ressource mailbox.
Uninstall Exchange 2007
Install Exchange 2016
Re-add all user to the new server from Exchange ECP
Enable circular logging. (for the restoration step)
Restore all user email by importing their PST.

The good side;

Uninstalling the Exchange does not remove the user email alias, thus its easy to readd all user back if you happen to not have a name policy for the alias.
Mailing list and contact stay in your Active Dirwctory after the uninstall.

The bad side;

To unistall I had to flush the public database link from adsiedit, as you can't uninstall even if the public database is empty.
For all my contact and mailing list I had to take back the ownership of those object in the Active Directory to see them back in Exchange.

Thanks, that resume how to do :)

Force a user logout when a machine has been locked for a specified period of time

April 5, 2017, 1:10 am technology

Hi, today I will talk a small tip to force a user logout when a machine has been locked for a specified period of time.

The specific question I seen that I want to answer was;

There are machines in a shared lab. Sometimes someone will lock the machine with the intention of coming back, but for whatever reason they do not. Currently the machine is powered off so another user can use it.

What would be nice would be to set a timer, say 20 minutes, then have a button display that could allow the next user to claim the machine. It should logout the current user and present the login screen to the next user.

Is there a Group Policy setting or perhaps some other means (Windows Credential Provider) to force a user logoff when a machine has been locked for a specified period of time?

That small tip is handy for internet cafe or in any case where there is shared computer.

First of all, in a case of shared computer, a local administrator can force a logoff or a normal user can switch the user in that windows with the option switch user

For it's a workaround, but it would be to create a local planned task with a on idle trigger with a 30 minute condition and the task will run shutdown /l

If someone wonder if the tip will happen if someone watch a movie, and the computer is not locked, then we can validate on technet, and no, as;

Task Scheduler checks for an idle state using two criteria: user absence, and a lack of resource consumption. The user is considered absent if there is no keyboard or mouse input during this period of time. The computer is considered idle if all the processors and all the disks were idle for more than 90% of the last detection interval.
