When you plug in a fortiextender , it will take the default route by putting its distance as 5

To change this back to secondary , change the Distance of the interface to over the default ( 10) or reduce the primary distance to under 5

If you setup a Forward for a user to an external user , and a external party email’s that user , then this counts as external to external which is an external Relay which is not allowed most of the time due to spam.

In order f0r this to work in Mimecast you would need to add the external recipient in this case ‘[email protected]’ to the ‘Relay’ profile group in administration> directories> profile groups, as the below default blocked sender policy is set to ‘take no action’ on this group and allows an external sender to send to an external recipient as long as the recipient is in this relay profile group.

Recently had a customer where the PC would install windows via MDT but Litetouch would never appear to install the applications

A closer look and we deployed a new AV Sentinelone which did not like the below script

I changed the deployment of Sentinelone  to after MDT had finished and it fixed it

Need to change ASP to use TLS 1.2 as Microsoft of EOL TLS1.1 and rejecting emails occasionally to remind you of this! 

Upgrading the .net Framework to 4.6 and over will fix this

This the web.config file for this :  

<system.web>
<compilation targetFramework=”4.6″/> <!– Changed framework from Under 4.5 to 4.6 or 4.7 –>
<!–Added this httpRuntime –>
<httpRuntime targetFramework=”4.6″ />
</system.web>

Trying to change a zerto VM’s recovery network however the new Network I created in vmware wasn’t showing

If you use Zerto Cloud Manager you will need to add the Resource to the Organisations Cloud Resources

After upgrading a RDP Broker server ( and webgateway )  from 2012 R2 – 2019 and then the session host ,  trying to connect to the Collection with the file from the web interface I was greeted by the error

“the remote resource can’t be reached”

The collection only contained one session host , testing out the connection to that session host individually worked

I then tested the RDP file downloaded from webaccess again and it worked which means the sessionhost seemed to need more time to register or reboot the servers again!

Recently I was using the script here to upload a VHD to Azure for Deployment to a VM

Upon the upload or the file

New-AzVM -VM $vm -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -Location $location

i got

ErrorCode: InvalidParameter
ErrorMessage: Required parameter ‘storageProfile’ is missing (null).
ErrorTarget: storageProfile
StatusCode: 400
ReasonPhrase: Bad Request

The script needs changing , I removed the need for the Azure Image and it does it directly from the uploaded VHD
