What is the best Australia Azure region for New Zealand customers ? the Microsoft rep did know something I don't know

 The Microsoft rep Elizabeth told me that most New Zealand clients use Microsoft Australia South East region


so Australia South East then


microsoft arc ? what is that ? it is a new service ... here is the answer from a Microsoft rep

 a Microsoft rep told me use bing to search for the arc. It will tell me what the Microsoft Arc is

Azure Arc

demote a windows 2016 domain controller

 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/deploy/demoting-domain-controllers-and-domains--level-200-


unless it is the last, do not tick force


Server Manager offers two interfaces to removing the Active Directory Domain Services role:

  • The Manage menu on the main dashboard, using Remove Roles and Features

    Server Manager - Remove Roles and Features

  • Click AD DS or All Servers on the navigation pane. Scroll down to the Roles and Features section. Right-click Active Directory Domain Services in the Roles and Features list and click Remove Role or Feature. This interface skips the Server Selection page.

    Server Manager - All Servers- Remove Roles and Features

The ServerManager cmdlets Uninstall-WindowsFeature and Remove-WindowsFeature will prevent you from removing the AD DS role until you demote the domain controller.

Server Selection

Remove Roles and Features Wizard select destination server

The Server Selection dialog enables you to choose from one of the servers previously added to the pool, as long as it is accessible. The local server running Server Manager is always automatically available.

Server Roles and Features

Remove Roles and Features Wizard - Select roles to remove

Clear the Active Directory Domain Services check box to demote a domain controller; if the server is currently a domain controller, this does not remove the AD DS role and instead switches to a Validation Results dialog with the offer to demote. Otherwise, it removes the binaries like any other role feature.

  • Do not remove any other AD DS-related roles or features - such as DNS, GPMC, or the RSAT tools - if you intend to promote the domain controller again immediately. Removing additional roles and feature increases the time to re-promote, as Server Manager reinstalls these features when you reinstall the role.

  • Remove unneeded AD DS roles and features at your own discretion if you intend to demote the domain controller permanently. This requires clearing the check boxes for those roles and features.

    The full list of AD DS-related roles and features include:

    • Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell feature
    • AD DS and AD LDS Tools feature
    • Active Directory Administrative Center feature
    • AD DS Snap-ins and Command-line Tools feature
    • DNS Server
    • Group Policy Management Console

苏东坡 - 水调歌头•明月几时有

 水调歌头•明月几时有

明月几时有,把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年。
我欲乘风归去,又恐琼楼玉宇,高处不胜寒。起舞弄清影,何似在人间
转朱阁,低绮户,照无眠。不应有恨,何事长向别时圆?
人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,此事古难全。但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。

苏轼在黄州写下 ---- 念奴娇•赤壁怀古

大江东去,浪淘尽,千古风流人物。故垒西边,人道是,三国周郎赤壁。
乱石穿空,惊涛拍岸,卷起千堆雪。江山如画,一时多少豪杰。
遥想公瑾当年,小乔初嫁了,雄姿英发。羽扇纶巾,谈笑间,樯橹灰飞烟灭。故国神游,
多情应笑我,早生华发。人生如梦,一尊还酹江月。
