Some Notes on the Machines

This one works very well indeed. It does need a bit more technical intervention:

A customer had several of these errors being reported in Azure AD Connect. They were all users which had been converted to cloud-only. Several solutions are on Microsoft and related sites, none worked except this on the domain controller which has AAC:

1. Open administrative Powershell
2. To stop synchronization: set-adsyncscheduler -synccycleenabled $false
3. In the AAC Synchronization Service Manager, click Connectors
4. Right-click on the AD connector, click delete, choose “Deleted connector space only”, click OK
5. Do the same for the Azure connector
6. To restart synchronization: set-adsyncscheduler -synccycleenabled $true
7. In services.msc, restart “Microsoft Azure AD Sync”
8. Reinitialize sync: Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial

Here is how to add Send As permissions for a user, to a distribution list, in Powershell.

1. First, connect to the 365 tenant.

Install modules if needed:

Set-Executionpolicy Bypass -Scope Process 
Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force -AllowClobber
Install-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement -Force -AllowClobber

Connect to the tenant:

Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName adminuser@domain.com

2. Then make the setting:

Add-RecipientPermission -Identity distgroup@domain.com -Trustee user@domain.com -AccessRights SendAs

Here’s a search which got me to it, once logged into HPE.com.

You’ll also need a driver, which does not come with the SPP.

To get the link speed of all NICs in Powershell:

Get-NetAdapter | select interfaceDescription, name, status, linkSpeed.

This one makes sure general settings are likely helpful, and also deals with two common troublemakers:

# General
powercfg /change monitor-timeout-ac 0
powercfg /change monitor-timeout-dc 15
powercfg /change standby-timeout-ac 0
powercfg /change standby-timeout-dc 120
powercfg /change hibernate-timeout-ac 0
powercfg /change hibernate-timeout-dc 180
powercfg /change disk-timeout-ac 0
powercfg /change disk-timeout-dc 60

# Unhides and zeroes hidden "System unattended sleep timeout" which can cause problems
# including, sometimes, automatic unwanted logoff
powercfg -attributes sub_sleep 7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0 -ATTRIB_HIDE
powercfg -setacvalueindex scheme_current sub_sleep 7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0 0

# Disable hybrid sleep both AC powered and DC
powercfg -setacvalueindex scheme_current sub_sleep 94ac6d29-73ce-41a6-809f-6363ba21b47e 0
powercfg -setdcvalueindex scheme_current sub_sleep 94ac6d29-73ce-41a6-809f-6363ba21b47e 0

# Reapply current power scheme
powercfg -setactive scheme_current

Have not tested this yet, but looks very promising:

It also removes old versions.

Get-InstalledModule |%{if((get-module -listavailable -name $_.name).version -lt (find-module $_.name).version){update-module -name $_.name -force;Get-InstalledModule -name $_.name -allversions| where {$_.version -lt (get-installedmodule -name $_.name).version} | Uninstall-Module -force}}
