How to Infrastructure.

We have all come across it.  It's a problem as old as the computer itself.  Ever since those first few engineers sat around the PC and said, "Hey Frank, I can'y log in.  What's the password?"  I am of course talking about local admin passwords.  For what ever reason your local admin password will eventually leak out and when it does, it spreads quicker than rumors of free donuts in the break room. You may have combated this with a script that you run once a year that changes the local admin password.  The problem with this solution is that if a machine is turned off or remote then it won't get the script run against it.  You could put the script into a logon script but then your sticking a clear text version of the script onto your network somewhere. "Well, I just use GPO to deploy my passwords using Group Policy Preferences." I hear you say.  This I will agree was an excellent solution until https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/se...

Trying to log into your fancy new exchange 2013 management page and it keeps showing you the old 2010 one?  There is a quick and dirty way around this.  Stick the version of the page you want to see in the address bar.  So if your exchange server is called mailsrv then you would open your browser and enter the following: https://mailsrv/ecp/?ExchClientVer=15 That will force the page to be the 2013 version and not that dirty old 2010 version. As with anything you get from the Internet, use the above at your own risk.  Just because it worked for me doesn't mean it will work for you.
