Configure RD Web Access for users to reset expired password

With Windows 2012 or above, you have an option to configure RD Web Access for a remote user to change their password (current or an expired one). To enable the remote password change option, Go to the configured RD Web Access role. Open the IIS Manager console, navigate to servername –> Sites –> Default Web Site –> RDWeb –> Pages and open the section Application Settings. In the right pane, find PasswordChangeEnabled parameter and change its value to true.

Now, you can test by changing the password.

I would like to configure IPSec VPN at home connecting to our office PA Firewall

Q: I would like to configure IPSec VPN at home connecting to our office PA Firewall. What’s your recommandation?

A: You may want to try an SSL-based VPN. Check this OpenVPN http://openvpn.net for more details. It runs on practically every platform, can use pre-shared keys or an X509 PKI, and works perfectly behind firewalls; it uses one port, UDP 1194. It’s also a bit more “standardized” than IPsec-based VPNs, as the server and client are both the same program, and behave nearly identically on every platform, something that CANNOT be said for IPsec servers/clients. In my experience, OpenVPN is MUCH easier to setup/manage than the various implementations of IPsec.

How much free spaces do we need to delete a Hyper-V checkpoint?

 When deleting a checkpoint, it will merge snapshot files (avhdx) that will use 1.5 spaces. For example, if avhdx uses 1TB spaces, you may need 1.5TB spaces. The space combines size of the main VHD file plus all the snapshots that you are going to merge. Therefore, before deleting checkpoint, make sure you have enough free disk space.

You can see the snapshot’s size by right clicking on it, selecting settings and then clicking on the inspect button or by visiting the folder where your aVHDX files are stored.

Should we enable checkpoint on Hyper-v

Checkpoint uses a lot spaces, especially when a VM uses a lot spaces. Deleting these old checkpoints can be time consuming, stressful and occasionally downright ugly if you run out of disk space. We don’t recommend to enable it in a production environment. If you do take a checkpoint for some reason, be sure to erase it as soon as possible.
