Increase the size of user profile disk in my remote desktop server
Hi all experts. I have a server for remote desktop services purposes, Windows 2016 standard, and domain joined. It is configured using User Profile Disk, and the maximum limit is set to 5GB. I want to increase the maximum limit but I can't do it under the collection's properties because that field is grayed out. My questions: How to increase the maximum limit? Please guide me and let me know how. Can I increase the maximum limit for 1 single user only? If yes, please let me know how. I found some info from the web that this can be done by the Diskpart command, is it true? If I follow the Diskpart method, do all user profiles encounter data lost? I need your guidance and input, I appreciate it. Here are some images:RAM Memory Leak Issue
Good morning. I am experiencing issues with an updated installation of Windows Server 2016. The task manager reports 8.1GB of memory used (which normally tends to grow indefinitely), and I can't figure out what is using this memory. The growth is about 1GB per day. However, no processes appear that justify the 8GB of RAM used. Even using RAMMAP, I can't find anything significant... On the server, additionally, we have SentinelOne as antivirus and Apache-Tomcat. Thank you for your help.
Configure RPC packet level privacy setting for incoming connections not show in group policy
Hi, it's about the group policy setting in windows server 2022, I have downloaded Windows Server 2022 Security Baseline.zip from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55319 Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit 1.0 and imported SecGuide.adml and SecGuide.admx. I can see the MS Security Guide folder in local group policy editor, but there is no setting for "Configure RPC packet level privacy setting for incoming connections", I also try to find from All Settings, there is no such setting. Could you advice how to config it to let it show in the group policy editor or GPO. Thanks.
(Another) Issue with RADIUS authentication for some users
Hi I thought I'd found the solution to our problem in this Tech Community thread from 2021, only to find that there was only one reply. Our NPS logs looks very very similar to those described in that 'DenverCoder' post, here's a screenshot to illustrate (the working one is in green, and shows the full AD path to the user account in AD, and the Network Policy name): We use NPS servers as part of the solution to provide MFA for our staff VPN. It works perfectly for about 127 out of 130 staff. but three of them don't even get an MFA prompt. Just now I thought I'd found a 4th victim, as she'd tried about 20 times today, only to succeed about an hour ago (not sure what inspired her to try again) Looking at the Event View on the NPS shows events 6273 (“Authentication failed due to a user credentials mismatch. Either the user name provided does not map to an existing user account or the password was incorrect.”) and 4625 (“Failure Reason: Unknown user name or bad password.”) To me it looks like it's failing to recognise the user's group membership (you have to be in the AD group for the MFA to work, otherwise you ain't coming in bruv!) All suggestions gratefully received.DNS Issue - nslookup resolve to random localhost ip

Windows Server 2025 Public Preview - Windows Update issue
Hi there, Is Windows Update expected to work with the Windows Server 2025 Public Preview from Microsoft's Evaluation Center? I deployed the 26100.1.240331-1435.ge_release_SERVER_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us.iso image but can't update through Windows Update. Similarly, the Windows Security app and Microsoft Edge browser won't update. I'm inquiring because post-installation, the Microsoft Evaluation Center advises updating Windows via Windows Updates. Thanks, AJProblems with DNS Replication after upgrade
I created a new A/D Server 2022 to replace my A/D Server 2012. The install completed and the FSMO roles transferred fine. However, I cannot manage the A/D GPO. In looking at the logs, it appears that DNS cannot replicate. Password hash synchronization failed for domain: mrc.net, domain controller hostname: MIDSRVR01.mrc.net, domain controller IP address: 172.16.1.43. Details: Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.SynchronizationManagerException: Unable to open connection to domain: mrc.net. Error: There was an error establishing a connection to the directory replication service. Domain controller hostname: MIDSRVR01.mrc.net, domain controller IP address: 192.168.99.12 ---> Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.DirectoryReplicationServices.DrsCommunicationException: There was an error establishing a connection to the directory replication service. Domain controller hostname: MIDSRVR01.mrc.net, domain controller IP address: 192.168.99.12 ---> Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.DirectoryReplicationServices.DrsException: There was an error creating the connection context. ---> Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.DirectoryReplicationServices.DrsCommunicationException: RPC Error 1722 : The RPC server is unavailable. Error creating the RPC binding handle The original A/D Server 2012 is multi-honed and it appears DNS is trying to use an IP Address on a private segment 192.168.99.12 which isn't available to the new Server. The new server is on segment 172.16.1.x. If I look at DNS, the server IP addresses appears in this order. How an I make the 172.16.1.43 the primary address? How can I change the IP address to point to the other segment?
