When you don’t want to enable SSL offloading so both internet facing web site and the one behind reverse proxy are access over SSL you will receive domain name mismatch.
The solution is simple. Either:
When I created a site-to-site connection in Azure Networks (classic) and tried to connect to the gateway from my on-premise VPN server running on virtual Windows Server 2012 R2 for the first time I found the following error in Application Event Log:
CoId={guid}: The user SYSTEM dialed a connection named {name} which has failed. The error code returned on failure is 797.
Solution: in RRAS -> Ports -> Properties: WAN Winiport (IKEv2) make sure you have at least 1 port enabled.
Next error I got was:
CoId={guid}: The user SYSTEM dialed a connection named {name} which has failed. The error code returned on failure is 663.
Solution: in the same settings make sure you have Demand-dial routing connection (inbound and outbound) enabled.
Happy routing!
I don’t use Windows Store apps often, actually I don’t use them at all. I just like when the default MSN Weather compactly is present in the Start menu and shows current location’s temperature. Just for fun.
But recently I ran into a frustrating issue when all Store Apps (including the Store itself) constantly minimize to taskbar immediately after the launch.
What I’ve tried and it didn’t help:
sfc /scannowALL APPLICATION PACKAGES on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTpowershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppManifest.xml((Get-ChildItem "HKLM:SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAppxAppxAllUserStoreInboxApplications") | Get-ItemProperty).Path | Add-AppxPackage - Register -DisableDevelopmentMode%LocalAppData%PackagesWhat actually helped:
wsreset from elevated consoleWhen you manage a windows server in core mode you can’t just open Control Panel -> Programs and Features to see whether or not particular application is installed.
Here’s the command for it:
wmic /node:server product where "Name LIKE '%name%'" get name,version
To uninstall it:
wmic /node:server product where "Name LIKE '%name%'" uninstall
Nkre: the later might not always work, probably depends on how its uninstaller was written.
This cmdlet is tricky to find in Google because searching for install powershell using powershell won’t give you much. So here it is:
Install-WindowsFeature PowerShell
or
Install-WindowsFeature PowerShell-V2
P.S. How to find exact name of particual Windows Feature to install?
Get-WindowsFeature | findstr PowerShell
Here’s the initial function in C#:
public string BuildQuery(IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>> args)
{
var coll = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(String.Empty, _urlEncoder);
foreach (var arg in args)
{
coll.Add(arg.Key, arg.Value);
}
return coll.ToString();
}
First I rewrote it in F# the following pretty naïve way, and forgot about it for a while:
member this.BuildQuery(args : IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>>) : string =
let coll = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(String.Empty, urlEncoder)
for arg in args do
coll.Add(arg.Key, arg.Value)
coll.ToString()
But today I recurred to it and rewrote in a better way:
member this.BuildQuery(args : IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>>) : string =
let coll = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(String.Empty, urlEncoder)
args |> Seq.iter (fun arg -> coll.Add(arg.Key, arg.Value))
coll.ToString()
Here’s a brief summary of the official documentation:
git config --global diff.tool bc3 git config --global difftool.bc3.path "c:/program files/beyond compare/bcomp.exe" git config --global merge.tool bc3 git config --global mergetool.bc3.path "c:/program files/beyond compare/bcomp.exe"
Don’t ask me why BC4 has the shortcut called BC3 still. Go figure. And happy merging! 🙂
If you’re trying to request a certificate from a non-domain joined computer using Certificates console (CertMgr.msc or CertLM.msc) then you need to install on the server that hosts your Certificate Authority the following components:
(maybe you need just one of them but I’ve installed both)
and then enter its URI in the following format:
https://dc.example.local/ADPolicyProvider_CEP_Kerberos/service.svc/CEP
That’s it, folks!
This week’s problem was to make working Remote Desktop Gateway located behind a NAT. Here’s the lessons learned:
The computer can’t verify the identity of the RD Gateway.
or if you put it to current user’s Trusted Root Certification Authorities:
Your computer can’t connect to the computer because the Remote Desktop Gateway server address requested and the certificate name do not match.
Your computer can’t connect to the remote computer because the RDG server is temporarily unavailable.
That’s all, folks!
After you uploaded a vhd and before you can start really using it you must mark it as a data disk or as an OS disk using the following command:
Add-AzureDisk -DiskName 'myvhd.vhd' -MediaLocation http://example.blob.core.windows.net/container/myvhd.vhd -OS Windows
