I’m in awe of his posts that take you thru topic from beginning till the end. No splitting, no hiding anything, everything on a plate, in a single post. That’s why I’ve decided to write a post that will take you on a trip on how to work with Event Logs, something that is an internal part of Windows Administration. If you’ve never worked with Events and you’re in IT you most likely should make an effort to find out what it is and how you can eat it.Wed, 20 Feb 2019 13:22:19 GMThttps://evotec.xyz/de/blog/powershell-everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-event-logsActive Directoryevent logseventsget-eventlogget-wineventmicrosoft windowPowerShellwindowswindows serverhttps://evotec.xyz/de/blog/active-directory-how-to-track-down-why-and-where-the-user-account-was-locked-outI’ve been working with Windows Events for a while now. One of the things I did to help me diagnose problems and reporting on Windows Events was to write PSEventViewer to help to parse the logs and write PSWinReporting to help monitor (with use of PSEventViewer) Domain Controllers for events that happen across the domain. It’s handy and I, get those excellent daily reports of what happened while I was gone.Thu, 24 Jan 2019 15:25:31 GMThttps://evotec.xyz/de/blog/active-directory-how-to-track-down-why-and-where-the-user-account-was-locked-outactive directoryevent viewerget-eventsget-wineventpowershellpseventviewerpswinreportingwindowswindows serverhttps://evotec.xyz/de/blog/windows-server-2019-desktop-path-for-all-users-cwindowssystem32configsystemprofiledesktopI’ve got a strange request a few days ago regarding users getting a prompt about their Desktop location pointing to…Tue, 22 Jan 2019 14:31:49 GMThttps://evotec.xyz/de/blog/windows-server-2019-desktop-path-for-all-users-cwindowssystem32configsystemprofiledesktopransomwarewindowswindows 2019windows serverhttps://evotec.xyz/de/blog/windows-2019-windows-license-expiredWindows Server 2019 is out now for a couple of months now, and some of you may be interested in playing with it. When you first install it, you can test it for 180 days (so-called Grace Period) after which you need to activate it with a proper production license.Sat, 19 Jan 2019 19:31:08 GMThttps://evotec.xyz/de/blog/windows-2019-windows-license-expiredexpired licenselicenseWindowswindows 2019windows serverwindows server 2019https://evotec.xyz/de/blog/windows-2019-how-to-add-language-packToday I’ve been setting up a new server on Windows 2019. By default, I install Windows with English version even if Client works in their language such as German, Polish or Swedish. While some people install Windows in a language they desire to work with, years of experience taught me that installing English and then adding Language Pack is the best way to go. All errors, windows events, and general troubleshooting is much easier if those are in the native English language. Each version of Windows made it easier to install the language pack and have that up and running in no time. In Windows 2019 it’s even more comfortable… or is it?Wed, 02 Jan 2019 13:38:16 GMThttps://evotec.xyz/de/blog/windows-2019-how-to-add-language-packwindowswindows serverwindows server 2019https://evotec.xyz/de/blog/update-module-packagemanagementinstall-package-unable-to-find-repositoryI was installing newest version of my PSWinDocumentation module on Windows 2016 when I noticed I can’t really get anything…Fri, 19 Oct 2018 17:04:49 GMThttps://evotec.xyz/de/blog/update-module-packagemanagementinstall-package-unable-to-find-repositorypowershellwindowswindows 2012windows 2012R2windows serverhttps://evotec.xyz/de/blog/microsoft-outlook-cannot-start-microsoft-outlook-cannot-open-the-outlook-windowWhen working on Windows Server 2016 on RDS session one of the users reported he cannot start Outlook.
