The Idea is to Observe, Discover, Ponder, Propose, and Do.
Opened up Hyper-V today and all of my VMs where missing… umm what? So I tried to connect to a server (button far right) POPUP ERROR Error Text “Hyper-V encountered an error trying to access an object on computer ‘localhost’ because the object was not found. The object might have been deleted. Verify that
Working with some of my team mates this week, I was hearing about multiple machines failing the Fall Creators Update (FCU) 1709 with a Windows Update error of ” Feature update to Windows 10, version 1709 – Error 0x80242006 ” . Looking around the internet I see a lot of people hitting the common solutions
Hello all, In the past month I have done 3 separate talks about the new release of Windows 10 FCU (1709). The link below is the slides from the last talk: CTSMUG201710 – Fall Creators Update 1709 The 5 links below are the most useful but I call out a lot of good data below.
In the past year we have had a lot of Nomenclature Changes for Windows As A Service (WAAS). The following slide from Ignite 2017 really clears it up. Just like designer MUD in a SPA. How often Office and Windows updated? What versions of Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr / SCCM) supports 1709 next
Fall Created Update (2017 RS3 1709) will be removing some more security holes. I wonder if some of these are in response to the SMB1 fiasco (WannaCry for example). TLS RC4 ciphers. The SCCM Windows Hello deployed feature which has been replaced with the Registration Authority of Active Directory Federation Services SysKey.exe gone in favor

Once upon a time I wrote a Client Health repair script for Windows XP SMS and SCCM 2007 environments. By far and away the biggest issue was WMI corruption. The point of this script was to fix as much as humanly possible WITHOUT using WMI. No minor feat and you can see one section below
With the improvements to the control panel the Configuration Manager Control Panel Applet (CPL) has disappeared. To add insult to injury the default location of the SCCM client is not indexed nor in the system path. Open the Configuration Manager CPL c:\windows\ccm\SMSCFGRC.cpl SMS back from the dead 🙂 I always wondered if the files were
It came to my attention recently in a Twitter Post by Troy Martin that client health is still a thing. It is silly companies are trying to take your money to fix clients for SCCM by doing things that have been free since 2005 and which SCCM CB fixes really well. Here is a table from the
