  • SRM - Unable to uninstall due to UAC

    Feb 18, 2015 Site Recovery Manager
    Share on:

    I was trying to remove SRM 5.1 from our environment and kept getting an error that UAC must be disabled. Even though UAC was set to “Never Notify” SRM didnt like this. To fully disable UAC run the following command from an elevated command prompt and then reboot the system. 1REG ADD “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System” /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f Note: You can also avoid this by doing the uninstall as the builtin local administrator account

  • Unable to Configure Event Database in vRealize Operations View Broker Agent

    Feb 6, 2015 Horizon View vROPS
    Share on:

    I was in the process of getting vRealize for Horizon configured, and as I was going through the broker agent configuration for the life of me I couldn’t get the eventdb portion to work. Everytime i entered in the user name and password, I would receive the following error. FAILED (Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 88.) I knew it wasn’t a password issue as I was able to logon to SQL Manager with no issue, and the Horizon View EventsDB was working fine, so I went on a google search to try to hunt through logs.

  • PowerCLI - Troubleshooting Multiple Default Servers

    Jan 29, 2015 PowerCLI
    Share on:

    I use a customized version of http://www.virtu-al.net/vcheck-pluginsheaders/vcheck/ by Alan Renouf to connect to multiple servers. However a coworker of mine was trying to run it, and the script would only return data from the 2nd vCenter we were connecting to. Doing some troubleshooting we noticed their DefaultVIServerMode was set to single. This means that only a single servers connection will occur at once. Changing this setting is very easy, there are 3 scopes, but only one really needs to be set.

    I had a need to enable CPU and Memory hotadd to many virtual machines prior to a template being updated, doing some research there is no easy way, however there are some functions out there to do it.

  • Updating Trend Micro Deep Security Manager Certificate

    Dec 19, 2014 Trend Micro
    Share on:

    So going though v7, v8 and v9 of the certificate guides I continued to have some issues getting the certificate to work and the steps never included ways to add subject alternative names. Upon further research I have identified a good step by step to replace the trend micro DSM certificate and include subject alternative names using a Microsoft certificate authority. Stop the “Trend Micro Deep Security Manager” service If not already created, create a folder on the root of C:\ called “certs” Go to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\Deep Security Manager and create a new folder called …

  • Identify DirSync Distribution Groups in Office365

    Nov 19, 2014 Exchange
    Share on:

    So after recently implementing directory sync i wanted to make sure any new groups were properly set up in active directory. Unfortunately i was unable to find any commands so thanks to MS Support I was able to find a way to identify these. You would think it would be under Get-DistributionGroup but it is actually under Get-MSolGroup. After connecting via remote powershell you can run the below command to see all that are not synced.

    Share on:

    So I have been working in a few situations where i have wanted to use Horizon 6 published (RDS) applications but having to either launch the Horizon View client within a VDI or have users be forced to logon again has been a deal breaker. Upon further research i finally found the right combination of settings to allow users to launch the RDS Hosted Applications via a Shortcut and automatically login to the view client making this process seamless.
