Recently trying to run a “Change VM Recovery VRA” command on a host , to migrate a VM to a new Host ,  selecting a specific VM and the new Recovery VRA , and it would not let me Select the Save ( no error either ) 

Opening up the VPG and Clicking Edit VPG , showed the VM had no “Recvory Volume Location” selected , even though the VM had been meeting its RPO.

I had to add this storage location and it start a Full Initial which then allowed me to migrate the VM

Recently we had a Mac not be able to access a Windows Samba (SMB) Share

Thinking a windows update could have caused some issue, we tested another Mac but it worked fine 

OS X Mavericks 10.9 brings a change of SMB2 instead of SMB1 , which can be disabled with the below command 

echo "[default]" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf; echo "smb_neg=smb1_only" >> ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf

This still didn’t work so we reverted back to SMB2 with the below

rm ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf

I used Telnet to make sure there wasn’t a network issue on port 445 ( Open Terminal , enter Telnet and open IP 445) which worked

I installed a trial of this on the Windows File Server which creates an AFP share , which worked by is 1000$!

We upgraded the Mac to the latest OS 10.14 ( for free )  and it solved the issues

When you install Windows using a Legacy Device is marks the Boot Volume with an Master Boot Record (MBR) label

I use easybcd to load all my ISO’s on a single USB which doesn’t support UEFI 

You need GUID Partition Table (GPT) for UEFI Boot

You can check this via Disk Management

Restart the PC into Safemode with Command Prompt

Run this command to make sure the drive can support GPT 

mbr2gpt /validate

Then Run this 

mbr2gpt /convert

After this you need to change the Boot Loader to use UEFI instead of Legacy

Recently trying to diagnose an issue with Radius 2fa, looking at the AzuraMFA Logs , I saw users trying to Authenticate with Mandarin Characters per below

Wondering if it was chinese hackers  , I tried a simple test using a username that does not exist in AD , which actually produces this for each login, so not to worry! 

NPS Extension for Azure MFA: NPS Extension for Azure MFA only performs Secondary Auth for Radius requests in AccessAccept State. Request received for User

NPS Extension for Azure MFA: NPS AuthN extension bypassed for User
