Keep Ras connections…

Ibland kan man behöva behålla en vpn förbindelse även om man byter konto… när man tex joinar en domän….

Då finns en register nyckel som gör just detta… (omstart krävs tydligen!)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
”KeepRasConnections”=”1”

KeepRasConnections: REG_SZ
Range: 0 or 1
Default: 0 (disabled)

After searching i could not find any decent answer to from where and why.
But when running procmon while logging on a user, it turns out that those icons are being generated out from the same icons in the all users profile so to prevent this Deny Read access to those shortcuts in there.
To do this with Group Policy, open the policy that is being applied to the Terminal servers and Expand Computer configuration.
Browse down to – >Windows Settings -> Security Settings
Right Click ”File System” and select ”Add File” and add the files listed below.

Placering av ADMX filer.
CentralStore

When you use a central store, the GPMC reads the entire set of Administrative Template files when you edit, model, or report on a GPO.
Therefore, the GPMC must read these files from across the network.´┐¢
The central store consists of the following:
A root-level folder, which contains all language-neutral .admx files. For example, create the root folder for the central store on your
domain controller at this location: %systemroot% \sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions

Subfolders, which contain the language-specific .adml resource files.
Create a subfolder of %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions for each language that you will use.
For example, create a subfolder for United States English at this location: %systemroot% \sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions\EN-US

PolicyDefinitions folder in the local computer.´┐¢
.admx files are stored in this location: %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions
.adml files are stored in this location: %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions\<ll-cc>

where ll-cc represents the language identifier, such as en-us for English United States

Windows update stopps at 3 of 3 at 65% dangerous workaround

På en klient kör följande
runas /noprofile /domain\administrator password cmd
Detta startar en lokal cmd process som domänadmin på klienten
Ta nu ner Psexec från denna site https://download.sysinternals.com/Files/PsTools.zip
Packa upp.
I ”Admin” cmd fönstret starta följande kommando
c:\pstools\psexec.exe \\server c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
Nu tar detta en liten stund och en ny cmd prompt uppstår.
skriv whoami för att kolla så du verkligen vart rätt (admin)
Nu är du PÅ servern lokalt och jobbar…

Farliga delen! (Sabbar windows aktiveringen nämligen……..)
Kör följande
cd c:\windows\winsxs
takeown /F pending.xml
rename pending.xml pending.old

Vänta…
Kolla på servern så den ändrar status från 3 of 3 65% till applying settings.
I Detta läga resettade jag servern.
Vid omstart kom jag in direkt.
DOCK vart nu servern INTE aktiverad och krävde att få ominstalleras. HUA….

”Windows must be reinstalled to activate. Please insert the Windows CD or DVD to begin reinstallation”

Fix:
Högerclicka på CMD.exe ock välj ÔÇÿRun as AdministratorÔÇÿ

net stop slsvc (Stoppa tjänsterna …)

cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing
rename tokens.dat tokens.bak
cd %windir%\system32
net start slsvc
cscript slmgr.vbs -rilc (Tar en stund…)

Omstart ! (enligt info tydligen 2 ggr …)

I mitt fall gick detta inte …
Beslöt då att försöka återställa pending.xml igen, så gjorde samma sak en gång till, dock fanns då en ny pending.xml.7126127612 fil..
Döpte om även denna ,,, omstart…
Samma fel.

Logga in lokalt igen en gång..
Via remote som ovan återställde den utsprungliga pending.xml filen och startade om..

NU kom ”3 of 3 65%” tillbaka men gick igenom…
Jag kunde efter en minut eller så loggain i windows och fick då igen aktivera windows (vilket nu gick).
Frid & fröjd… so far….
