If you host your Azure MFA User Portal outside of your MFA Server e.g. in a DMZ , the User portal server has to speak to this MFA server via SSL using the SDK and also via a certificate. Make sure the SSL of you MFA server is valid. It might be self signed internally on that server ( cannot be from the domain as the DMZ server can’t speak to your domain ) so you need to create a new one and transfer it securely to the User portal and install it on the Trusted Root Authority 

System.Security.Authentication

This certificate cannot be verified up to a trusted certification

Latency Threshold – I would say to start with 50-60 Seconds to avoid any false positives.

Failure Counter threshold –  I would suggest to start with 5-6 for the same reasons.

Admin Notifications – I would suggest to notify via SMS as well, in case email is down. But if you are doing that, you will firstly have to make sure you are syncing the Mobile numbers from AD using the correct AD Attribute in Mimecast(https://community.mimecast.com/docs/DOC-1478). Then you also have to make sure that you set that attribute up to be used as the mobile attribute for SMS notifications in Administration > Account > Account Settings > System Notification Options. Then, you also have to make sure that the admins that need these SMS notifications, subscribe to them. Guidance on subscribing here – https://community.mimecast.com/docs/DOC-2085. Further details on using SMS in Continuity Here – https://community.mimecast.com/docs/DOC-2104.

Affected Group – You have to select a group that covers all users. Otherwise when you get the notification, if you opt to start a Continuity Event from the dashboard, it will only affect the Admin group you have selected.

Recently a newly installed Vocus link was running 100mb Down but only 30mb up , multiple back an forths with support showed the link back to vocus was fine , however the speed was still bad.

Finally they told me the answer , the package ordered was not full 100mb up!

Best Effort Internet Access
VBU is delivered to site using Telstra Wholesale Ethernet Access (Fibre) Standard CoS (Class of Service) access tails. Note Standard CoS is 100% EIR (Excess Information Rate) which means, under congestion in the Telstra network, this traffic may be discarded. If the customer requires an Internet Service with continual sustained throughput or other medium to high performance requirements, please use Vocus IP Transit or Enterprise Internet rather than VBU.

Fix

Recommended VCT or VIE onnet service
or alternatively Telstra tail can be made premium.

Upgrade VCenter

In order to ensure protection is not affected when upgrading or replacing a vCenter, the vCenter database should be preserved

Upgrade then make sure Replication all comes back green

Upgrade Hosts

Before Upgrading the Hosts to the latest ESXi , double check the current version of Zerto supports the version you are putting on or you will get the error on Upgrade “VRA unsupported esx version”

Migrate all VM’s to other VPG’s , migrate 6 VM’s at a time

Once VM’s migrated , shutdown VRA and VRAH , restart upgrade host

You can migrated VCC machines to other hosts without effecting replication

Recently we changed the IP and Subnet of an exchange 2016 server. Trying to Open ECP Showed the Error :

Topology Provider coundn’t find the Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology service on end point

This is due to the Server Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology not starting

The service was not starting because of the new Subnet was not listed in Active Directory Sites and Services which meant Exchange was not sited aware

Add the domain and restart the server
