123. Troubleshoot hybrid authentication issues Let’s talk now about issues that we could have involving hybrid authentication. So, we’ve connected our on-premises domain, maybe, with Azure AD Right. So, we’ve got a synchronization service that’s running between our machine on-premises and the cloud. And of course, our users are supposed to synchronize., maybe, we have a situation where a user is not synchronizing, and it could be because the user has an invalid character. For example, if the user has a space in […]
119. Restore objects from AD recycle bin Let’s talk now about a very helpful feature that we have in our Active Directory with AD DS called the Active Directory recycle bin. Now, this feature is a great feature, but I will warn you that it’s actually not turned on by default. The recycling bin assists you where if a user account or something gets deleted, you can simply just go in the recycling bin and delete that user account. But it does have […]
116. Troubleshoot disk encryption issues Let’s talk about the concepts now of dealing with disk encryption involving a virtual machine. There isn’t really too much here to worry about as far as troubleshooting this particular problem. There’s only a couple of things that can come up here that you can run into. So, if we look at portal.azure.com, we’ll click the menu button here. I’m going to go to Virtual Machine and I’ve got one virtual machine I’ve got set up here called […]
114. Troubleshoot VM performance issues I’d like to now talk about troubleshooting performance issues with your virtual machines that are being hosted in Azure. So, the first thing we have to do, of course, is have a virtual machine, which I do have a virtual machine called Windows Server two. But I could always have added one by going to the menu button, going to virtual machines and clicking to create a virtual machine. But I’m going to click on my win server […]
112. Troubleshoot deployment failures I’d like to get in the concepts now of troubleshooting deployment failures in the Windows environment. So, first off, let’s make sure we understand the installation. The real key to understanding how to troubleshoot a deployment installation of Windows is to understand a little bit about the different phases and the fact that it generates logs during these different phases. So, essentially what happens here is you let’s say you format the hard drive and then the setup runs. […]
110. Troubleshoot hybrid network connectivity Let’s get into the concepts now of troubleshooting hybrid installations. So, in this situation, you want to think about the fact that you’ve got your on-premises network, maybe, Microsoft Domain, you’ve connected into Azure with Azure AD Connect and, maybe, there are some synchronization issues. You’ve got users that aren’t synchronizing into Azure AD Connect. In this case, I have my Azure AD Connect has been disabled and I want to show you some different errors and things […]
106. Collect performance counters to Azure Now I’d like to show you how when we’ve set up our log analytics workspace, how we can actually collect performance counters from a server that has been connected. So, in my case, I have actually already installed the agent on the log analytics agent on my NYC-SVR1 and here I am on portal.com. I can click my menu button, go to resource groups here and I’ve got a resource group called Log Data RG. I’m going […]
104. Manage event logs Now, one of the most common and probably one of the oldest systems that we have had in the Windows world when it comes to monitoring things is actual logs. Right. And the system that Microsoft has had for so long is called Event Viewer. Event viewer is our event log or system log or sis log. There’s a lot of people call it in the other operating systems. It’s very similar concept to that. And event viewer is […]
