The downside of a warm running home lab

-
One of the upsides of a homelab is the heat generated on cold days. The downside is that often means its not used during the warm summer (?) months.

Downside? Well if you have multiple Domain Controllers and most of them off during the year, you can get issues with replication when they all fire up again.

Error 8606 - Insufficient attributes were given to create an object. This object may not exist because it may have been deleted and already garbage collected.
Getting rid of lingering objects can be a pain. Step forward the aptly named LoL tool :)

Another issue may be tombestone lifetime. You can crank it up using ADSI edit and kick start the process again. Remember to reduce it afterwards.

These user counts are incorporated into the Lync ReportHTML  from the previous post: https://jc-nts.blogspot.com/2019/05/powershell-module-reporthtml.html While doing some housekeeping for a client, I noticed that the Interpreted User Type attribute in SfBO threw up some HybridOnpremSfBUserWithMCOValidationError accounts.

Polycom provisioning - and Zoom!

-
Updated June 2019 So I have a little downtime which means I need a little project. On my 'havent setup in the test lab yet' is a polycom provisioning service. So, off to eBay i head for some devices (naturaly) and i'm pleasantly surprised to find some VVX handsets at a very reasonable £30. On a roll, i head off to find some Trio conference devices. A step up from the CX3000 they replaced, these are nice pieces of kit. I just missed out on a trio 8800 and visual+ bundle, so with VVX501 in hand i setup a provisioning service. FTP server - filezilla - check exceptions in the firewall - allow the filezilla app through - check DHCP options (160 AND 161 for newer firmware) - check Create a config file for the MAC address (i only have a single device, after all) Remembering to disable updates from the Lync/Skype/Office365 service - I dont want a reboot loop as it updated and downgrades repeatedly. <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <...
