HTML to XHTML Transitional Issue

This was improved from the old <br /> to <br> </br>.

But before, it was still in a lot of HTML Web pages. Then it gradually faded out towards XHTML.

I'm not sure this transition was as smooth as it should of been. It was disappointing, Web sites kept using outdated HTML in the past.

Sysmon v11 not logging ProcessCreate events for Win10 versions 1507 thru 1607

Hi all,

Anybody else seeing this?  With the below configuration in place (and many other similar variations), when I open and close an app, I get the ProcessTerminate events (ID 5) but never the ProcessCreate events (ID 1).  All other OSs seem fine (Win7/WS2008 through Win10-v2004).  These are all VMs; I have not yet been able to test a physical machine with one of the problem OSs.

EDIT: Dropping back to Sysmon v10.42 brings back ProcessCreate events.

I have confirmed this also occurs on physical machines.  I've check v1507 and v1607; both fail to log ProcessCreate events using even this simple config:

<Sysmon schemaversion="4.22">   <!-- Capture MD5 and SHA1 hashes -->   <HashAlgorithms>MD5,SHA1</HashAlgorithms>   <EventFiltering>   <!-- Events to include -->   <ProcessCreate onmatch="exclude" />   <ProcessTerminate onmatch="exclude" />   </EventFiltering>  </Sysmon>

Hi Dave

this is a known regression for Sysmon 11 on some older SKUs. We have resolved the issue for Sysmon 11.10 which was supposed to be published yesterday. I am going to chase Mark R. on this today but in the meantime if you would like a pre-release version ahead of the publication please ping me at syssite@microsoft.com and I can make it available to you.

Thanks a bunch for the confirmation, Mark.  I've reverted to v10.42 on those problem VMs and will wait for the official 11.10 release.  I'll reply here when I've tested it.

How to DUAL BOOT Corporate windows 7 (bitlocker and TPM 1.2) and Windos 10 (preferably with bitlocker)

Hi, 

I need some assistance with dual booting my laptop with windows 7 pro and windows 10 pro. I currently have one hard drive with 3 NTFS partitions (System, Windows 7 with bitlocker, and an empty partition) My laptop has a TPM 1.2 chip and has bitlocker enabled on the currently installed windows 7 partition. I would like to install windows 10 on the 3rd empty partition (would prefer to use bitlocker on this partition but it is not a requirement). My initial logic was to just run the windows 10 install and select the empty partition for the install. After I would turn on bitlocker in Win10 if possible.

Would my method work for installing Win10 on the 3rd partition or are there extra steps needed because of the TPM and currently encrypted Win7 partion?

If not what are the extra steps or can it even be accomplished?

Best Regards,

Rudy

Hi Rudy

did you ever manage to get this working, I am ready to try the same thing with 2 win 10 and 1 tpm chip on a desktop and a laptop

Hi, Rudy, Rob,

I have Windows 10 Enterprise (work OS) and Windows 10 Pro (personal OS) installed on two pertitions, and a common "Data" Partition as third one.

My Lenovo Carbon X1 has TPM2.0 enabled.

Turned on BitLocker on Work OS succesfully

When I logged on my Personal OS and turned on BitLocker (previously saved recovery key), after reboot, when I choose Personal OS, it asks me for Recovery key. When I type IT I get disk error and BSOD.

I can still login to Work OS, and when I tried to access Personal OS partition from it, it asks me for a recovery key and when I type it (it is correct and it matches identifier) it says that key "doesn't match the drive".

M3 BitLocker Recovery tool doesn't help either.

I don't know if this is a valid scenario but it is not working!!!

What i wanted to achieve is to have same hardware for different purposes (private and business), and to separate them with bitlocker (so I cannot access work drive from personal OS and vice versa).

Any ideas?

Hi Milpav,

I had the exact same scenario on my Razer laptop. Never found a resolution. Just checking to see if you ever found anything on this?

Any answer? Would like to do this with W7 and W10 with BitLocker for both. Years ago I was able to do with with Vista and W7 and even added an enhanced PIN. The instructions were on TechNet. Am hoping its much simpler as I can't recall how to accomplish this now.

Add the parameter "-Depth 10" to the ConvertTo-Json cmdlet.

The value "10" is just an arbitrary choice in this case. It just exceeds the depth of the nested data.

Basic Windows/Server VM for dev/sandbox purposes

Basic Windows/Server VM for dev/sandbox purposes

Can someone please tell me the cheapest yet reliable way get my own development/sandbox windows server?

It doesn't need to be crazy powerful or have 100% uptime but good enough to setup an instance of Microsoft Identity Manager (which would require AD, IIS and Sharepoint). 2019 preferably but 2016 would be fine.

Its hard to get a straight up answer on this especially from Windows Azure online chat - wish you could blame on the fact that you are talking to a robot but nope. 20 min convo and nothing...

thanks!

Very easy to set up on a well configured laptop.  You would get a laptop with Windows 10 Pro which allows for the installation of Hyper-V.  Then you could create multiple VMs using Microsoft's evaluation media for the server operaating systems.  I don't know if there is an evaluation copy of SharePoint (could ask in the SharePoint forum), s you might have either purchase a copy or obtain a Visual Studio or MSDN subscription.  Your laptop should have enough memory to configure each of the VMs to at least 4 GB of memory if you want some reasonable performance.  You should be able to get by with 2 GB of memory for AD.

If you want to get the last day of the current month, you add 1 month and deduct the current day number. Optional you can remove the time part:
  • DATEADD("d", -DAY(GETDATE()), DATEADD("m", 1, GETDATE()))
  • (DT_DBTIMESTAMP)(DT_DBDATE)DATEADD("d", -DAY(GETDATE()), DATEADD("m", 1, GETDATE()))

Booting a virtual machine using a wim file generated in workbench

I am trying to boot a virtual machine using a windows 10 wim file that I enhanced using Microsoft Deployment tool's Workbench. I created the task sequence and updated the image but when I boot the virtual machine and put in my domain credentials and the box comes up tell my to pick a task sequence, there is nothing there to pick. The task sequence just doesn't seem to come along with the image into the virtual machine.

Everything is on the same machine, Workbench, the image too but the task sequence doesn't make it through.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but what?

Eager to learn what I missed.

Thank you

SearchOCR.ADMX error after installing Win10-1803 ADMX templates

I've already submitted this to MSFT via Feedback and resolved my issue for now, so this is basically informational for anybody coming across the same thing and searching for a resolution.

After installing the Win10-1803 GPO Templates, I'm presented with the below error:

Resource '$(string.Win7Only)' referenced in attribute displayName could not be found. File \\SysVol\...\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\SearchOCR.admx, line 12, column 69

I searched the folder on my PC where the files were installed. There's no SearchOCR.admx file in the new download, but there is an ADML file. After reinstalling the old and new ADML files, I found that the old file has a line for Win7Only, where the new one doesn't.

After reverting to the Win10-1511 SearchOCR template files, it's working normally again.


Reply:
I am having this issue as well. I still have the SearchOCR.admx from 11/14/2015 in my PolicyDefinitions folder. The .adml file in en-us was updated in 5/3/2018 version though. I reverted to 1511 and error fixed for now. Thanks.

I thought my Win10 RS4 would have the file, but neither SearchOCR.admx nor SearchOCR.adml is there for some reason.

However, Win10 RS5 (17666) does have them. So I looked at the hash for RS5's SearchOCR.adml and compared it to the same file provided in the template download. They're the same. Therefore, RS5's SearchOCR.admx should be its match, and it's working for me in testing on a Server 2016 domain.

For anyone who wants it, or just wants to look in it, here it is.

Organize your templates in "source folders". One for each template source you have (Operating System, Office, possibly Adobe or Firefox...). Then update the source folders, delete existing templates in PolicyDefinitions and re-populate from your source folders.

The SearchOCR.admx are not packed in the new PolicyDefinitions and so i deleted this file and the SearchOCR.adml.
If Microsoft doesen't published it, i think it's not longer needed.
For me that works.


------------------------------------
Reply:

So i have done a little digging on this... the SearchOCR.ADMX file is only installed in the PolicyDefinitions folder if you have the "Windows TIFF Ifilter" option installed. If you have ever dont this on an old version of windows and then copied it accross to the Policy Definitions folder then this will be an old version of the file as it wont be updated using the ADMX/ADML bundel that Microsoft publishes. 

While editing the ADML file will fix the problem, you are only fixing it for one language. My recommended fixes is to either 1. Delete the SearchOCR.ADMX file if you dont use any of the policy settings or 2. Install Windows TIFF Ifilter on a computer running Windows build 1603 (server or workstation) and copy that SerchOCR.ADMX file into the central store. 

Hope it helps...

Hello Clarence,

I tried to find any relevant info regarding a change of RemoteApp icon published via RD Web in Windows Server 2012, but found nothing.

You gave me at least some hope that I will find a solution, so looking forward to seeing some hints here.

Hi,

Based on my internal test, I am afraid that it seems we couldn't directly change the RemoteApp icon in RDWeb, but there is a workaround as below:

---On one Windwos 7 or Windows 8 client, open Control Panel and open RemoteApp and Desktop Connections.

---Type the right URL, such as https://RDWeb FQDN name/rdweb/feed/webfeed.aspx.

---When the connection finishes, the published RemoteApp icon will locate at c:\users%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\RemoteApp and Desktop Connections\Work Resources\

---Right click the specific RemoteApp you want change icon and click Properties.

---Under Shortcut table, please click Change Icon and select the icon you want.

Regards,

Hello,

I tried the workaround, but if I am not mistaken, it changes an icon just on Windows 7 (8) client, on which I setup RemoteApp via RD Web feed.

But I would need to change an icon on RD Web page, i.e. an icon that is seen by all users when they log on to RD Web via a web browser.

Regards,

Hi,

Based on my test, I think below steps can achieve your goal:

---Please prepare a .ico file you want, such as a (bing.ico file). You can search *.ico on the C drive and find the icon file you want.

---I suspect you have published a Wordpad on the Windows Server 2012 Connection Broker server, then locate to C:\Windows\RemotePackages\CPubFarms\RemoteApp_applic\CPubRemoteApps.

---Under this folder, we can see that the published WordPad ico file(such as wordpad.ico), then copy the specific ico(bing.ico) file you want to this folder, and rename the bing.ico file to Wordpad.ico.

---Restart the Windows Server 2012 Connection Broker server and try to reproduce the issue, this should works.

Replacing a corresponding icon in C:\Windows\RemotePackages\CPubFarms\RemoteApp_applic\CPubRemoteApps changes an icon for RemoteApp on RD Web Work Resources page. Great, it solved my situation, thanks for your help.

I have got one more problem connected to RD Web Work Resources page. In the past I did a few configuration changes in RD Web Server and RemoteApps (renamed a server, removed all published RemoteApps from QuickSessionCollection, then I re-added Remote Desktop Services - option Quick Start - role) and as a result I have a redundant Remote Desktop RemoteApp on my RD Web Work Resources page. This Remote Desktop RemoteApp is not present on QuickSessionCollection list and in addition it opens Remote Desktop to a server with a wrong hostname - i. e. to a hostname before I renamed the server. I would call this RemoteApp as a 'left-over'.

Wouldn't you know, how to remove it?

Hi, Have you restarted the Connection Broker server to have a try? Besides, do you mean there is only one server which has installed RDS/RDWeb/RD Connection Broker roles? Regards,

The Connection Broker server was restarted several times, but it didn't resulted in redundant RemoteApp disappearing. Yes, all Remote Desktop services reside on one server/host.

Hi,

In Windows Server 2012, there is a new feature for the RDWeb, that is we can enable RDWeb logging which is very helpful for troubleshooting problems with RD Web page.

To enable RD Web logging, do the following:
1. Logon to the RD Web server as an administrator and open an administrative Windows Powershell prompt or command prompt.
2. Change to the %SYSTEMROOT%\Web\RDweb folder.
3. Open the web.config file and find the section labeled <system.diagnostics>.
4. Modify the TraceTSWA value to 4:
<add name="TraceTSWA" value="4" />
5. Comments are denoted by <!-- and --> characters. To remove the comments and enable RD Web logging, modify the following line to remove the comments:
                <!-- Uncomment for file tracing
      <add name="FileLog"
       type="Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener,
       Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=8.0.0.0,
       Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a,
       processorArchitecture=MSIL"
       initializeData="FileLogWriter" BaseFileName="RDWeb"
       Location="Custom"
   LogFileCreationSchedule="Daily"
   MaxFileSize="50000000"
       CustomLocation="\Windows\Web\RDWeb\App_Data" />
      -->
For example:
      <add name="FileLog"
       type="Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener,
       Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=8.0.0.0,
       Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a,
       processorArchitecture=MSIL"
       initializeData="FileLogWriter" BaseFileName="RDWeb"
       Location="Custom"
   LogFileCreationSchedule="Daily"
   MaxFileSize="50000000"
       CustomLocation="\Windows\Web\RDWeb\App_Data" />
6. Reload the web page and reproduce the problem.
7. The log file will be created in the %SYSTEMROOT%\Web\RDWeb\App_Data folder and will contain the time and date stamp of when the log file was written.
8. Please share these logs to us.

Regards,

I enabled the logging, but didn't find any useful info in a log file, just that 'Remote Desktop' application (and others) was added.

My RD Web Work Resources page incorporates the following RemoteApps:


But RemoteApps Programs in Server Manager doesn't incorporate 'Remote Desktop' application (Windows Explorer is under My Programs folder):

In addition, when I launch 'Remote Desktop' application it opens Remote Desktop to non-existing host - RD Web server was renamed.

'Remote Desktop Connection' application (vs 'Remote Desktop' application) was added among published applications manually by me and works fine.

Where does 'Remote Desktop' application come from? How I can remove it from Work Resources page. It is quite confusing for users, particularly when it tries to open RD session to non-existing host.

Hi,

OK, now I understand your main concern is the redundant 'Remote Desktop' icon. Since there is not any suspected log in RDWeb logging, let's try to enable the RDMS UI Tracing on the RD Connection Broker Server.

When troubleshooting any problem with Remote Desktop Services installation or Collection Creation, or RD Connection Broker issues, the RDMS UI Logs should be enabled. RDMS UI logs must be enabled by using Event Viewer and adding a SYSTEM environment variable to the Connection Broker (RDMS) server.

To enable RDMS UI log and Event Logs, do the following:

a. Open an administrative CMD prompt and create a system environment variable named RDMSUI_TRACING and set the value to 1

b. Launch Server Manager from the same CMD window by entering servermanager and then pressing Enter.

c. Open Event Viewer, click View in the Menu Bar, and then click Show Analytic and Debug Logs.

d. In Event Viewer, navigate to the following path: Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\RDMS-UI\Debug. Right click on Debug log and select Enable Log.

e. Reproduce the issue and check whether there are any related event logs.

So I switched on Debug Log for RDMS, but the only error I was able to find is:

Component RdmsUI: Error in script execution on rdweb.domainname.tld : 

Component RdmsUI: Failed to fetch local DB connection string from server: rdweb.domainname.tld : System.Management.Automation.RemoteException: Property DBConnString does not exist at path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tssdis\Parameters.
   at Microsoft.RemoteDesktopServices.Common.DeploymentModel.ExecutePowerShellScript(String serverName, String script, Object argumentList, Boolean isLocalhost)
   at Microsoft.RemoteDesktopServices.Common.DeploymentModel.IsHighAvailabilityConfigured(String managementServer)

I do not have any idea if this is connected to my problem, because it appears in the log in times when I didn't log to RD Web. In addition, it doesn't give me any clue what I should do to narrow my situation.

Doesn't anybody have an advice of type - open a file/a registry key, check/delete a value?

Hi,

It seems the RDMS error log didn't related with the duplicate "Remote Desktop" icon.

From the previous screenshot, I noticed that the Windows Explorer RemoteApp didn't show in RDWeb, please try to hide all the RemoteApp and check whether the duplicate Remote Desktop icon still persists.

Regards,

The only thing i've found so far is a workaround (bodge) Script the launch using vbscript and use VBsedit to create an executable with your favourite icon embedded....

Get-RDRemoteApp -Alias "[The alias of your app]" | Set-RDRemoteApp -IconPath "[C:\your_icon_file.ico]" -CollectionName "QuickSessionCollection"

Example:

Get-RDRemoteApp -Alias "iexplore" | Set-RDRemoteApp -IconPath "C:\icon_file.ico" -CollectionName "QuickSessionCollection"

Works like a charm
