Storage migration service operational log is empty
Hi I can not find logs for operational but only for debug and admin for Storagemigrationservice and storagemigrationservice-proxy. I justy disable and re-enable operational log from the gui and also from powershell but nothing change. There is some trick in the registry? I find the registration in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\StorageMigrationService but there is a edb and their relative logs that are not txt format. I need to trace the duration of the past process because I need to sync the migration in scheduled manner10Views0likes1CommentWindows Server 2022 File Server Cluster | Network Teaming
Hello Microsoft Community, I have a Windows Server 2022 File Server Cluster (all physical nodes) running with SMB shares. At present, it is not configured with NIC teaming. We are planning to setup NIC teaming. I am going to add an additional network adapter to achieve this. Since this is a production file server server. It tried to perform NIC teaming in a test environment. Upon setting up network teaming, File server clustered roles do not come online and fail. It registers an Event ID 1049 about duplicate IPs despite the fact that I have deleted old network adapter via device manager (show hidden devices). New network adapter comes online without any previous knowledge of IPs. When setting up old IP scheme on a new individual network adapter, File server clustered roles come online successfully. However, setting up the old IP scheme on teamed network adapter, it registers Event ID 1049 about duplicate IPs and roles shows a status of Failed instead of Stopped. What would be a best way to achieve network teaming on an existing file server cluster without setting up the cluster from scratch?3Views0likes0CommentsIssue with winlogon on Remote Desktop Services:
We are investigating intermittent session establishment failures on Windows Server 2019 servers used as CyberArk PSM / RDS hosts. At unspecified intervals, new privileged sessions fail to establish or are disconnected during the initial session/logon phase. The issue is intermittent and affects new sessions. Existing sessions may continue to work. The strongest and most consistent correlation identified so far is: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Operational – Event ID 36 Application / Microsoft-Windows-Winlogon – Event ID 4005 We observed that TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager Event ID 36 can occur without a subsequent Winlogon Event ID 4005. However, every observed Winlogon Event ID 4005 is correlated with TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager Event ID 36 in the same incident window. This suggests that Event ID 36 is a consistent precursor or required condition for the Winlogon 4005 cases. Environment Operating system: Windows Server 2019 Role: CyberArk PSM / RDS session host Issue type: intermittent failure during new RDP/PSM session initialization Impact: affected users cannot establish privileged sessions or are disconnected during session startup Similar issue exists on previous windows server 2012 R2 and was fixed : August 16, 2016 – KB3179574 (During virtual channel management, a deadlock condition occurs that prevents the RDS service from accepting new connections.) https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/august-2016-update-rollup-for-windows-8-1-and-windows-server-2012-r2-d472b5d5-4b3a-8e6e-c22a-f62fed604caf I'm looking forward for any ideas how to resolve this issue.

Hello, We bought licenses with these part #'s MFR# P73-08495 and MFR# EP2-25187 which, according to searches on the internet, have downgrade rights. We need to get downgrade keys for server 2022 standard. Our reseller referred us to Microsoft for this. Could someone help? The activation portal does not give us an option to do this and a microsoft support agent told us to make a post here which seems weird to us. We don't know why they couldn't help us via the phone.

Hi Everyone, I am facing an issue in a Hyper-V Failover Cluster environment where Live Migration intermittently fails due to a service logon-related problem. The environment was previously working normally, but now whenever we attempt to Live Migrate a VM between cluster nodes, the migration fails unless we manually run “gpupdate /force” on the Hyper-V host first. After running gpupdate /force, the migration works temporarily, but the issue returns again during the next migration attempt. This makes it appear that some policy or permission is not being applied consistently on the cluster nodes. During troubleshooting, I attempted to add “NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\Virtual Machines” to the “Log on as a service” policy under Local Security Policy > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment. However, the account does not appear or resolve in the Object Picker when trying to add it manually. At this stage, I am trying to understand whether this is related to a domain GPO overwriting local policy settings, a Failover Cluster permission issue, or something specific to Hyper-V virtual machine accounts. Has anyone encountered a similar issue where Live Migration only works after running gpupdate /force? Also, is there a correct method to add “NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\Virtual Machines” to the “Log on as a service” policy, or should this permission already exist by default on Hyper-V hosts? Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.33Views0likes1CommentSecure Boot update still pending on deadline day
After checking the registry keys on 2x VMs which run services for a number of important customers I found they both have: UEFICA2023Error 2147942750 Apparently this means they're pending a reboot. https://blog.mindcore.dk/2026/04/secure-boot-certificate-update-intune/ I can't reboot the VM inside working hours, can they be rebooted after the deadline or do I need to disable Secure Boot on the VMs?

Hi all, We have two domain controllers running server 2019 with Domain Functional Level 2016. We have one user who has been with us for almost a year, and they were suddenly getting a message in the last week that username or password were incorrect even though we confimed they were not. They were able to initally switch to another user and re-enter their username and log in, but now it won't allow that. On the domain controller I see events for the user Audit Failure 4768 with Result Code 0x6. This result suggests the username doesn't exist which isn't true. The account isn't being locked. Has anyone seen this before and know what the issue might be? thanks jm45Views0likes1CommentWindows Crash During NVMe Over TCP Disk Disconnect
While evaluating the Windows NVMe Initiator, we have observed that disconnecting an NVMe disk frequently results in a Windows system crash. This occurs during the disconnect operation and appears to be reproducible in our test environment. Questions: Has anyone else encountered similar behavior? Are there any known issues related to NVMe/TCP disconnect handling? Are there recommended troubleshooting steps, logs, or diagnostics that we should collect to help identify the root cause? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.26Views0likes1CommentMultiple Namespace Detection in Windows NVMe Over TCP Initiator
We are evaluating the Windows NVMe Initiator and have observed an issue with namespace handling. Our NVMe subsystem contains multiple namespaces. When we connect to the subsystem over TCP and establish connections to all namespaces, they are all shown as connected under the controller. However, only one namespace (shared block device) is exposed and accessible within Windows. Based on our testing, it appears that the initiator may be mapping only the first namespace associated with a given Friendly Name. We were able to connect another subsystem, whose friendly name was different. Questions: Is support for multiple namespaces within a single subsystem currently available in the Windows NVMe Initiator? If so, are there any configuration requirements or known limitations related to namespace discovery and mapping? Is the initiator expected to expose all connected namespaces as separate disks within Windows? We would appreciate any guidance or clarification on the expected behavior.27Views0likes1CommentStatic IP Issue with Windows Server 2022
Hi Community, I installed my first Windows server to learn about the server and Active Directory. I installed Windows Server 2022. I configured a static IP and disabled IPv6. Then I installed Active Directory/DNS. After the reboot, the system is up, and I can access the internet and ping hosts. However, there is a world icon (No internet access) instead of a computer icon (internet access). In the static IP config, it replaced the DNS with 127.0.0.1, I know it'll use the local host as DNS. When I click on Network & Internet settings and Troubleshoot, I see an error 'DHCP is not enabled for "Ethernet"'. The only way it goes away is if I change the static to automatic. How can I fix this issue? Thanks, Also, I added forwarders such as 1.1.1.3 and 1.1.1.2 to DNS.110Views0likes2CommentsWAC vMode fails validating SMB
Hi Reviewing vMode and try add a Hyper-V 2025 (non hyperconverged) cluster with a FC SAN. Fails on Validating "SMB port accessibility". Have gone through firewall settings and opened all neccesary ports that i can find mentioned. Even tried without FW turned off without any success so hit the wall now. WAC vMode is installed on a vm running Win2025std and in same domain as the cluster (and hosts) i try to add. Probably some obvious thing i have missed so any suggestions?24Views0likes0CommentsCertificate Error Connecting to only to some of the Cluster's resources
Latest version of WAC, winrm configured to connect over HTTPS. No issues connecting to the servers that are members of the cluster, or clients and other servers in our AD. No issues connecting to the cluster Dashboard (I can see health, CPU usage, etc.) and some of the resources (such as Drives, Volumes, Servers). Configuration -> Settings or Security works fine. It's only when I go to some resources, such as virtual switches, GPU's or a handful of others that I get errors connecting to member servers; Specifically, the error will state that for each server: Connecting to remote server servername.local failed with the following error message : The server certificate on the destination computer (servername.local:5986) has the following errors: The SSL certificate contains a common name (CN) that does not match the hostname. The one oddity I see is that .local is being added to the end of the server name. Also, servername will not contain the domain extension, just the name. Here's what I've checked so far: DNS is correct for the member servers and the cluster, both with Host (A) and PTR entries, can be pinged and resolved. As far as I can tell the certificates are setup correctly, no issues connecting to the member servers individually, or the cluster at first. The AD entry for the cluster is in place with the correct permissions for the cluster's service account I've read that .local is appended if the server/cluster is not part of AD, but that's not the case. We have two additional clusters and this issue does not appear on them. I also have not been able to identify any obvious differences between the setup of the two fully functioning clusters and this one. In the Event Viewer on the WAC server, under Applications and Service Logs _> WindowsAdminCenter, I can see Error Entries ID 304 for each member server with a similar message as above: Unable to create PowerShell session on node, status: 400, error code:PSRemotingTransportException, error message:Connecting to remote server server.local failed with the following error message : The server certificate on the destination computer (server.local:5986) has the following errors: The SSL certificate contains a common name (CN) that does not match the hostname. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.. As a side note, opening a remote Powershell session to each member server via WAC works fine and by contrast, in the WAC Event viewer there will be corresponding Information entries list the server's FQDN. Here's an example Category: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Diagnostics EventId: 2 SpanId: 50d2635d1f6eb737 TraceId: b8c8e1de80ac2f84f1230c5ec3305b38 ParentId: 3e0619ce2c5decca ConnectionId: 0HNMB39BE0AS7 RequestId: 0HNMB39BE0AS7:0000009F RequestPath: /api/PowerShell/nodes/serverFQDN/invokeCommand Request finished HTTP/2 POST https://WACserverFQDN:6601/api/PowerShell/nodes/serverFQDN/invokeCommand - 200 - application/json;+charset=utf-8 230.3283ms It seems that when it comes to accessing only some of the cluster's resources WAC no longer has the member servers FQDNs, and I'm not sure where to look for changing that. Anyway, any guidance would be appreciated.23Views0likes0CommentsOut of Band Cumulative Updates Question
I installed March 2026 Cumulative Update on a new server instead of April due to some RC4 changes to test something. I noticed that after the update installed in the event viewer it thinks the June 2026 update was installed. I don't see the June update under installed updates but shows up in update history. The build version of the server matches with the March 2026 update. Is this a weird side effect of installing a superceded update? I'm having trouble understanding what is going on.34Views0likes0CommentsBLOG: Windows Insiders - State of vbscript deprecation June 2026
While I greatly appreciate the decision of vbscript / cscript / wscript removal, with security and hardening in mind – I would also appreciate if Microsoft could be actively using the vNext release channel, preparing for feature removal. With this blogpost, I am sharing my point of view on the state of dependencies I am seeing in this regard, focusing on a way forward towards the full removal of vbscript. My findings show, that there is a quite some action required, and this stands a bit contrary to the announcement, Microsoft intends removing the optional feature of vbscript by default with the upcoming release - anticipated by fall 2027. Given my lessons learned from Secure Boot CA2023 exchange initiative, Microsoft guidance, foremost PowerShell based scripts, tooling and dashboards have been released quite late, looking at the timeline, considering the impact and scale customers had to deal with, and consequences for their security posture if they are not ready and done, with first certificates to expire soon. Taking this learning into account and and projecting it to vbscript deprecration I come to the following conclusion: SMB customers, enterprises, Microsoft Products, see below, are required to be updated or replaced, in order of adopting this change. I believe there is quite some communication and learning curve required for users, admins, enterprises and OEMs in adopting the implicated change and including changed workflows and automation processes. Looking forward to the next Windows Insider and esp. Windows Server Insider vNext builds! Both Windows Insiders and Windows Server Insiders, also including ISV and OEMs may assist in reviewing and validating the new workflows required - assuming vbscript deprecation is in effect, as planned. Without further ado, I am sharing my observations in regard to VBScript deprecation. I will try to keep this blogpost updated as soon I am aware about public facing changes. Third-Party AMD Chipset drivers so far is one of the major non MSFT related blockers. Suggestions: Microsoft should initiate talks with AMD and other ISV and OEMs fixing their dependencies, also offering other solutions, see below. Currently AMD Chipset drivers silently using vbscript calls checking for OS and HW platform compatibility. The installer fails when vbscript optional feature is removed. OEM, ISV and Enterprise Potentially affected: expected dependencies for imaging, deployment and management workflows. Related or unrelated to Microsoft products. LOB apps custom Office Integration logon and logoff scripts setup and installers Recommendation: Please observe vbscript related events in Windows Event Viewer at scale using PowerShell, Remoting or Windows Event Subscriptions: VBScriptDeprecationAlert Event ID 4096 VBScript is scheduled for deprecation. Our telemetry indicates that your system is currently utilizing VBScript. We strongly recommend identifying and migrating away from any VBScript dependencies at the earliest. The following process has been detected as using VBScript. The associated process tree and call stack are provided below to assist in identifying the scenario in which VBScript was invoked. Microsoft Windows Server and Client OS affected: slmgr.vbs / printer management vbscripts / product activation logic and UX, setup.exe, slui.exe Office 2024 LTSC affected: slmgr.vbs / ospp.vbs / Office deployment toolkit / product activation logic Microsoft has placed a new PowerShell based script into the respective OSPP folder. This script however is rather offering on checking licensing and cannot activate the Office product at this time. Microsoft 365 Business, Enterprise, Home, Family Affected: ospp.vbs despite being subscription based will also trouble with activation once vbscript is removed Sconfig Related to product activation. no changes so far, relies on external changes. The script itself is safe to comply with the change, now it has been reworked and updated using PowerShell , starting Windows Server 2022. WinRM Affected: the whole WinRM configuration command, e.g. winrm qc Windows Server Roles and Features: KMS / ADBA Potentially affected as they rely on slmgr for adding and removing CSVLK keys. Windows Server Roles and Features: IIS legacy IIS extension management. Windows Server Roles and Features: WSUS related deployment and configuration scripts. System Center Products incl. ConfigMgr there might be depencendies for OS deployments in regard to OS imaging. ADK, esp. Windows Imaging Tools and VAMT 3 potentially affected. Need to adopt changes in regard to activation and other operations. Suggestions: Recommending all these scripts being converted using Claude or Copilot from vbscript to PowerShell. Providing a serviceable PS modules, especially for printer management, product activation, which enables enterprises to automate their activations and printers, even though Microsoft is going to remove vbscript. The modules should be improved for existing day two adminstration tasks and workflows. slmgr, in particular, had some nuances that were tedious such as identifying and removing (stale) activation keys. Existing tools like slmgr and other will not work well in remoting. They do something but their interactive parts and outputs are reserved for interactive user sessions. Example: you can use slmgr in a remote PowerShell session for installing and activating a key but therer is no result return to the shell. Combining slui.exe and slmgr.vbs into aforementioned improvements in functionality and syntax. Consider support for PowerShell 7 in WinRE and Offline Setup phase. Many thanks for your consideration!

But the installed file version is different and therefore our scanning tools report these installations as "vulnerable" After applying patch KB5094128 the version of \windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe is 10.0.20348.5256 Does anybody know if the information in this .csv is wrong?2.2KViews2likes4CommentsWindows Server Datacenter: Azure Edition preview build 29602 now available in Azure
