To map an Azure drive from a windows computer you must ensure that the value of registry key is 3:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\lmcompatibilitylevel
You can use this command to change the key from command line
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa /v lmcompatibilitylevel /t REG_DWORD /d 0x3

This is a post by brandon.lee published at https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2019/09/vmware-esxi-commandline-get-cpu-and-memory-information/ that explains several ways to get hardware info relative to your vmware esxi host
There are times with your virtual infrastructure running on top of VMware vSphere that you need to gather information about the physical servers you are running on. Have you ever wanted to know the details about CPU, memory, or other physical hardware? From time to time it is very handy to be able to gather some of these details from the VMware ESXi command line. Let’s take a look at VMware ESXi commandline get CPU and Memory Information.
This is an extract from a post at Microsoft Social Technet:
There are many scenarios where we need to get rid of some Emails from the whole server
1. Virus
2.Confidential Email sent wrongly – Got to remove it
3. Need to remove a Email with Specific subject from all the mailboxes
Exchange 2010 has Good features on Searching it and Remove it .
So Will Learn how to do that.
SMTP logging is diabled by default. You can read about it and how to enable it at these links.
Understanding Protocol Logging: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997624.aspx
Configuring Protocol Logging: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124531.aspx
Set-ReceiveConnector "My Receive Connector Name" -ProtocolLoggingLevel Verbose
Set-SendConnector "My Send Connector Name" -ProtocolLoggingLevel Verbose
And could see the logs on
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\TransportRoles\Logs\ProtocolLog
Apparently Exchange 2010 SP1 brought a 10 mobile device per mailbox limit. This is a problem if you are letting a bunch of folks hook their iPhones into a common mailbox to share the calendar. The mailbox gets the message:
You have 10 phone partnerships out of the maximum allowed 10 partnerships. After you reach the maximum, you can't create additional partnerships until you delete existing ones from your account. To do so, sign in to Outlook Web App, click Options > Phone > Mobile Phones, and delete any unused partnerships.
Fortunately, the fix is pretty simple (excellent full write-up here), if you just want to increase the number of devices for your default policy.
Alternativelly, you can remove all partnertships for a mailbox with the following command:
foreach ( $identity in Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics -Mailbox username | Select-Object -Property "Identity" ) {
Remove-ActiveSyncDevice -Identity $identity.identity -Confirm:$true
}
Also you can remove all device partnerships where synchronization date (LastSuccessSync) is more than 30 days ago:
$DevicesToRemove = Get-ActiveSyncDevice -Result Unlimited | Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics | Where {$_.LastSuccessSync -le (Get-Date).AddDays(“-30”)}
$DevicesToRemove | Remove-ActiveSyncDevice

This is a quick how to which will enable you to remove any disconnected mailboxes from exchange 2010, since the purge mailbox feature is no longer available. (Source: spiceworks).
This is and old post from Remko Weijnen with some comde to get information from Active Directory.
I had to lookup some users in Active Directory today which I received by mail. Offcourse I got full users name while I needed either samAccountName or full adsPath. Usually I write a small VBS script to do the lookup and paste this in Excel for further processing. But today I decided that an Excel function to do the lookup would be nice. So I wrote it.
The function is called GetAdsProp and allows you to search on a specific AD field in the whole AD tree and return the value of another field.
This version is able to connect with Google’s blogger.

These are the steps to remove the recovery partition in windows, thanks to https://superuser.com/questions/1073883/cant-remove-recovery-partition
cmd (this is called command prompt)
diskpart and hit enter
list disk and hit enter
select disk 'numberofdrive'list partition and find the partition you want to work with
select partition 'numberofpartition'delete partition (WARNING ONCE YOU DO THIS THERE IS NO GOING BACK) and hit enter , if it says "cannot delete a protected partition..." use delete partition override (Note you will also have to repeat these steps with the partition in front of the recovery partition if you plan on extending the system volume)
exit and hit enterRun the command esxcli system coredump file list until get a true value for both parameters Active and Configured.
[root@esx:~] esxcli system coredump file list
Path Active Configured Size
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ ---------- ----------
/vmfs/volumes/xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/vmkdump/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.dumpfile true true 3740270592
Then run the following two commands to remove de the dump file:
[root@esx:~] esxcli system coredump file set -u
[root@esx:~] esxcli system coredump file remove -f /vmfs/volumes/xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/vmkdump/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.dumpfile
Now you can remove the vmkdump folder.
If you need to change the system time for a VMware esxi 6.x server fron CLI you must use the following command:
esxcli system time set
Since the updates for ESXi v5.5 are no more accesible at VMware Updates page, here you’ll find a procedure for install then from esxi console.
This is an article by Marco van Baggun at www.vmbaggum.nl that explains how to change vmnic order on vSphere 6.x
Here you can check how to do it for previous versions.
Local traffic logs are disabled by default in fortigate firewalls. This logs can be enabled from console.
Check the following:
config log memory filter
get <<—lists all options
Make sure local-traffic logs are enabled. If not then:
set local-traffic enable
end
Enable "Log Allowed Traffic" and select "All Sessions" on the firewall policy.
Make sure you display logs from the correct location(GUI):
"Log & Report >> Log Settings >> GUI Preferences >> Memory/FortiCloud"
