My company bought DELL PowerEdge T640 Tower Server 3 years ago from DELL Thailand and we've got DELL EMC Windows Server 2019 Essentials RESELLER OPTION KIT along with it but we aren't sure that this key was activated on that device or not, and now, that device is installed by Linux OS for SAP ERP.My company plans to buy new DELL Server again so we need to check if this product key is still available. I called to DELL Thailand and asked them that "Can I check the activation" and "If the key isn't activated, can I use it with our new DELL Server" and they said they can't check the activation but Continue reading...

I run a gameserver on windows. The PC that the gameserver resides on automatically shuts down at night and wakes up in the morning. The program I use called Omega Manager, when started, normally launches a webserver on the localhost and starts a gameserver instance. I've created a task in task scheduler to execute a program called Omega Manager that I noormally manually launch from the GUI. It does execute because I can see the background process running when I log in, but the Omega Manager application doesn't launch the gameserver instance or the local webserver instance when launched from ta Continue reading...

Here’s a clearer version of your text: I am receiving the following alert when I try to log in to a server through Remote Desktop: "Remote desktop license issue: There is a problem with your remote desktop license, and your session will be disconnected in 60 minutes. Contact your system administrator to fix this problem." Previously, I could log in via Remote Desktop from this PC without any issues. However, starting today, I’m seeing this alert. Other PCs don’t have this problem when logging in via Remote Desktop, and even a new PC can connect without any issues. Additionally, I am able t Continue reading...

A Revolutionary Design That Fell Behind When the Surface Studio debuted in 2016, it aimed to redefine the desktop experience. Its standout featu…

Microsoft was accused in a U.K. lawsuit filed Tuesday of unfairly overcharging customers of rival cloud companies including Amazon, Google and Alibaba Cloud. The lawsuit alleges U.K. businesses are forced to pay more to license Microsoft’s Windows Server software on rival firms’ clouds than its own Azure platform. U.K. firms are owed more than £1 billion in compensation from the anti-competitive practices, according to the lawsuit. Microsoft Faces £1 Billion Lawsuit Over Alleged Overcharging for Rival Cloud Users Microsoft is under fire in a new £1 billion ($1.27 billion) lawsuit filed in the UK, accusing the tech giant of unfairly inflating …

Microsoft Teams seems to be the way most companies communicate with their employees these days. My previous job used it and my current job does as well, but most companies do tend to use Windows as their operating system of choice so I suppose it makes sense. Anyways, I never used Teams from an Administrator's point of view, but I've heard that certain tasks can be a pain to deal with in Teams. Have you ever used Teams in a administrator setting? Or have you simply used it from a user's point of view? I even thought about giving it a go for creating a community, but honestly it's probably best to stick with forums or Discord instead.

This just happened to me, I went and ate dinner while I was in the middle of posting over at Forum Promotion. My computer went to sleep after there was no activity, which is normal. I went to get back on my computer, I noticed the light on my keyboard was off. Again it's typical, so I hit enter on the keyboard and my computer had rebooted. I did notice that it's been wanting me to update my system, I'm guessing while my computer was idle Windows decided to install the update. Has Windows ever done this to you? Also I need to get into my computer's bios screen and see why it often will boot into Lubuntu after the computer restarts, I should have the boot options be set to …

When Skype was first released, it got 27 million users too quickly and it was a records number of users in 2011. Currently, Skype claims to have 300 million active users but I do not see a lot of people using Skype. I don't remember when I used this VoIP service last time. Why do you think stopped the growth of Skype. Why is Skype not as popular as it used to be in the past?

Hello. My name is Eglantina Kanina. I work as an IT Engineer in a company, and the company I work for organizes tenders for the maintenance of data center and network equipment.

However, I have a request from an operator who tells me that this type of certificate has been discontinued by Microsoft since 2019. The operator is asking whether it is possible to bring an engineer with an equivalent certificate, such as the MCSE: Cloud Platform and Infra Continue reading...

Hi Colleagues,I am in charge of a Microsoft CA with an offline Root and several online SubCAs. The SubCas use a YubiHSM2 to store their keys. The HSMs are directly slotted into the Servers, so there is no network in between. In general, the CA works as expected and the issuing of certificates works just fine.However, I now have a problem that I cant seem to figure out. Whenever my colleagues try to provision several clients with autoenroll certificates my "Failed Requests" fills with a bunch of different error messages (see attached picture). After a while (up to several hours) the certificate Continue reading...

With the end of Windows 10 support looming, Microsoft reiterates that the TPM 2.0 hardware requirement 'is not just a recommendation—it’s a necessity' for security. Windows 11’s TPM 2.0 Requirement: A Necessary Upgrade for Future Security When Windows 11 launched, many users found its stringent hardware requirements frustrating—particularly the need for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security feature. Older PCs without TPM compatibility were left behind, forcing many users to stick with Windows 10. While workarounds surfaced, Microsoft has made its stance clear: TPM 2.0 is now a “non-negotiable standard” for the future of Windows. What is T…
