Recently had a few Zerto Recovery Groups ( VPG’s ) came up with the state
Recovery is possible. (0%)
Connecivity to the VM’s where ok , and when I ran through the Wizard after Editing the VPG is came back with all ticks. A reboot of the server and SCVMM server did not clear the issue either
In the end we had to perform a “Force Sync” to resync the delta’s
Recently I was trying to get a WDS server PXE Booting using Legacy and UEFI booting. I followed the DHCP guide here Legacy worked however UEFI was not working. I double checked on the WDS server for the 67 Option with a file share and in
\\%IPOFSERVER%\reminst\Boot\x64
wdsnbp.com existed but no wdsmgfw.efi
Running a rebuild of the boot files also did not fix this for some reason , in the end I copied the file from :
\\%IPOFSERVER%\c$\Windows\System32\RemInst\boot\x64
and it resolved the issue
On the login screen click “Other User”
In the Username field enter .\
It will now show you the PC name as “Sign in to :”
On a machine with the latest of One Drive for Business installed, navigate to : %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive
Find the latest version number in the folder and open it then go to the adm folder and copy the .admx file
to \\domain.local\SYSVOL\domain.local\Policies\PolicyDefinitions and .adml file to \\domain.local\SYSVOL\domain.local\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\en-us\
Configure your Group Policies to the settings you want, but the one you’ll need for auto sign in is “Silently configure OneDrive using Windows 10 or domain credentials“. ) This will set : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive] “SilentAccountConfig”=dword:00000001.
and also it will set Modern Authentication:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OneDrive] “EnableADAL”=dword:00000001
So you’ve found an issue in a Package in a Project for a DataSynchronization in a Integration Services Catalogs ( .dtsx file ) that you want to edit?
Install if its not already on it and open SQL Server Data Tools
Click on File and New Project
Choose this Project
Choose “Intergration Servies Catalog” and Open the project
You should see the .dstx files on the right under
You will probably be given the files in a Zip file something like
SV9100_UC_Suite_AU_v4.5.4_R2
Extract this zip file
Download and install 7zip then extract UC_InConnect-4_5_4.exe to a folder UC_InConnect-4_5_4
You will now see the MSI file to install
UcConnector.msi
Move this file to a share on a server ( or DFS location if you have multiple sites ) and make sure Domain Computers has read Access to the Share and the security on the folder
Create a new Group Policy and add it to the Policy Assigned Apps
How apply this policy to the Workstations OU

Recently for a Chubb Company insurance quote, we had to answer
Do the managers of the site, Next DC, have flood prevention action plans in place? Please can you provide details of plans if known.
The answer took a while but was :
Extensive site due diligence was conducted prior to building M1, ensuring that it was built 1 meter above the 100 year flood line, outside of bushfire prone areas and in a non-seismic zone. The fire suppression system in a data hall takes 2 minutes to deploy after smoke is detected.
