I have two DCs throwing a 13555 when I do a net stop ntfrs and net start ntfrs
The third DC is throwing 13508.

@mlnews Eliminating it and stopping production are two different things. We didn't need laws to stop production of steam cars...

I tried:
ntfrsutl forcerepl dc4 /r "domain system volume (sysvol share)" /p dc1

but I'm not sure it did anything.

and that is the reason I started looking in to this. My group policies weren't working and files in sysvol weren't being copied.

So removed the DC that was causing a ton of errors. Now in dcdiag I'm down to:
Starting test: FrsEvent
There are warning or error events within the last 24 hours after the SYSVOL has been shared. Failing SYSVOL
replication problems may cause Group Policy problems.

as the only error in dcdiag.

no, in fact, dcdiag says:
DC1 failed test FrsEvent

I'm troubleshooting broken sysvol replication across 3 Server 2012 R2 boxes and a 4th that maybe 2008 R2. (It's offline right now.) When I go in to DFS Management, I see nothing.

Where do you go from there? Do you still follow the steps for forcing a sync of DFSR?

@coliver said in Intel NUC Skull Canyon Video:

Welp... that would be a great Steam Machine...

you caught the IR comment what else could it have been designed for?

@Jason The box was checked, and credential manager was purged. They don't have AADsync setup. It did not fix itself in two months.

We used the SARA tool and then pored over the logs. We found this line:
="'15'" Title="Possible problems due to non-default values specified under \RedirectServers" Text="Non-default server entries found under the 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office{2}.0\Outlook\AutoDiscover\RedirectServers' key. Please check with your administrator to make sure this is a desired configuration." GUID="620115" SSID="5f098891-0092-47b6-b3da-88599a1aaca2" P9="$CloudMbxRegistry_fCloudMbxDetected/Result" Cloud="{9}" SaraSvc="True" Weight="10000" Symptoms="Autodiscover" Pass="False" />

We opened up the registry and deleted the value HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Autodiscover
The two keys that were in there were:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\AutoDiscover\RedirectServers]
"autodiscover-s.outlook.com"=hex(0):
"autodiscover.hotmail.com"=hex(0):

With that said, it created the exact same values, but this time it worked when we created a profile. Not sure why that worked, but it did.

@dafyre Thanks for sharing! The script doesn't find a connection broker, but I can troubleshoot that. I hard coded it and it gave me 0 for everything, but I can see where you were going with it, and it's pretty cool. I'll play with it and post updates.

I used an earlier model of that kangaroo drive when I was building out scripts to image computers. I used the write protect switch when I was learning how to script diskpart....

Can anyone recommend a way to view historical data of RDS usage? Something that would show peak usage in terms of number of connected users and most RAM used?

The only thing I read is that it can only expand to 16 times what you start it at. If I understand correctly, if I want my server to be able to hit 80GB, I'll need to start it at 5GB.

Are there some reasons or special cases where you would not want to use Hyper-V dynamic memory for a VM? I have a couple RDS servers that could see a huge surge in the RAM they use if users pile on, but if they do, they will use one server or the other, but not both. I think dynamic RAM would work well, but haven't enabled it before.

I talked to a couple of the Colocation America employees at MangoCon. They are pretty much across the street from Google.

Welcome @JoshP_Webroot !

Are you using BFD?

RDPGuard has as free 30 day trial. As easy as it is to install, I would test it to see if it works.

I guess it depends what your time is worth if you want to try to script something.
