Have you tried turning it off and on again?
I ran into a rather bizarre issue recently. I’m currently in the process of replacing our existing 2012 R2 Domain Controllers with 2019 Domain Controllers. We have two domains in the forest with a parent / child relationship. I completed the upgrade of the parent domain without a problem. This obviously included running forest prep […]

You can select any of them and it seems to go through, but why are we getting the pop-up in the first place? Obviously this is not ideal for the user’s experience. These certificates […]
Let’s face it. Active Directory can get messy real fast if people aren’t cleaning up after themselves. The rate at which computers are rebuilt and / or replaced can clutter up any domain if not properly maintained. I’ve put together the following script to help identify old computer objects based on a few criteria: PasswordLastSet […]
In my organization we have a whole lot of Windows 7 workstations. We also have a team of technicians who log into multiple workstations throughout their day for troubleshooting / setup / whatever. As you’re likely aware (since you’re reading this) when a user logs into a Windows 7 computer, the workstation will register the […]
I received a ticket from a user stating the Translate button of Word 2016 was greyed out. I fired up my install of Word and sure enough, it wasn’t clickable.
