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.

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?

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…

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...

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...
