stop save to onedrive

Right-click Documents in the Navigation pane (I’m referring to the Documents library, not any of the folders listed below it) and select Properties. In the resulting dialog box, select the local location (probably C:\Users\yourname, where yourname is your login name) and click Set save location button.

System requirements for Hyper-V on Windows Server 2016

https://technet.microsoft.com/windows-server-docs/compute/hyper-v/system-requirements-for-hyper-v-on-windows

General requirements

Regardless of the Hyper-V features you want to use, you'll need:
  • A 64-bit processor with second-level address translation (SLAT). To install the Hyper-V virtualization components such as Windows hypervisor, the processor must have SLAT. However, it's not required to install Hyper-V management tools like Virtual Machine Connection (VMConnect), Hyper-V Manager, and the Hyper-V cmdlets for Windows PowerShell. See "How to check for Hyper-V requirements," below, to find out if your processor has SLAT.
  • VM Monitor Mode extensions
  • Enough memory - plan for at least 4 GB of RAM. More memory is better. You'll need enough memory for the host and all virtual machines that you want to run at the same time.
  • Virtualization support turned on in the BIOS or UEFI:
    • Hardware-assisted virtualization. This is available in processors that include a virtualization option - specifically processors with Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) or AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) technology.
    • Hardware-enforced Data Execution Prevention (DEP) must be available and enabled. For Intel systems, this is the XD bit (execute disable bit). For AMD systems, this is the NX bit (no execute bit).

Shielded virtual machines

These virtual machines rely on virtualization-based security, which supports several new features in Windows Server 2016w.

Host requirements are:

UEFI 2.3.1c - supports secure, measured boot

The following two are optional for virtualization-based security in general, but required for the host if you want the protection these features provide:

TPM v2.0 - protects platform security assets

IOMMU (Intel VT-D) - so the hypervisor can provide direct memory access (DMA) protection

Virtual machine requirements are:

Generation 2

Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, or Windows Server 2012 as the guest operating system

windows server 2016 hyper-v -- requirements

bit disappointed that I could not install server 2016 with hyper-v role on my old hardware

it is that SLAT is required for Server 2016 hyper-v, but that is not a server 2012 R2 requirement

differences between AAD and AD DS -- Azure AD and traditional on-premise AD DS

differences between AAD and AD DS
- no support for Group policy settings
- no OU or computer objects
- no support for forests ( rely on federation to extend scope)

- no forest AD trust

cisco dcloud is very interesting -- kind of a nice demo setup play ground

have trialed


Cisco ASA with FirePOWER for SMB Overview v1

Cisco ASA with FirePOWER for SMB Integrated Threat Defense v1

If I integrate the firepower with Fightsite online

then the firepower tab will disappear from the CISCO ASA, then click the link to goto the cloud

funny as a sales guy I can still open ebay (supposed to be blocked)
