¿Cómo comprobar que las actualizaciones se instalaron correctamente en Windows Server 2025?
Hola. Estoy usando Windows Server 2025 y quisiera saber qué pasos recomiendan para comprobar que las actualizaciones se instalaron correctamente. Después de reiniciar el servidor, ¿qué herramientas o registros puedo revisar para detectar errores y confirmar que los servicios siguen funcionando con normalidad?Azure Update Management Centre (Preview) - Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender AV
Afternoon all, We are exploring using Update Management Centre and scheduling the update of our fleet of IaaS servers. Monthly patching is fairly easy to understand and deploy. Our dev machines are successfully patching. However, what is the implementation pattern for updating Defender AV signatures? In a WSUS deployment, this would likely be a separate job that runs hourly. However, UMC doesn't allow that level of frequency, nor does the maintenance Window accept anything less than 1 hour. Many thanks Paul

Unable to load large delta table in azure ml studio
I am writing to report an issue that I am currently experiencing while trying to read a delta table from Azure ML. I have already created data assets to register the delta table, which is located at an ADLS location. However, when attempting to load the data, I have noticed that for large data sizes it is taking an exceedingly long time to load. I have confirmed that for small data sizes, the data is returned within few seconds, which leads me to believe that there may be an issue with the scalability of the data loading process. I would greatly appreciate it if you could investigate this issue and provide me with any recommendations or solutions to resolve this issue. I can provide additional details such as the size of the data, the steps I am taking to load the data, and any error messages if required. I'm following this document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/mltable/mltable.mltable?view=azure-ml-py#mltable-mltable-from-delta-lake Using this command to read delta table using data asset URI from mltable import from_delta_lake mltable_ts = from_delta_lake(delta_table_uri=<DATA ASSET URI>, timestamp_as_of="2999-08-26T00:00:00Z", include_path_column=True)XXX virtual machines should enable Azure Disk Encryption or EncryptionAtHost.
Hello everyone, I'm facing issues related to a policy: Linux virtual machines should enable Azure Disk Encryption or EncryptionAtHost. Windows virtual machines should enable Azure Disk Encryption or EncryptionAtHost. After enabling EncryptionAtHost, it appears as encrypted in the portal. However, the policy does not recognize that it is encrypted and shows it as non-compliant. The same happens when enabling Azure Disk Encryption (ADE): the policy still indicates that it is non-compliant. Has anyone else experienced this?
Corrupted VT+ transaction files
We are a small accounting company using VT+ Transaction on a local drive synchronized with OneDrive for backup and file storage. A few days ago when we tried to open the application, we suddenly started receiving the following error messages: Run Time Error 0 and Run Time Error 440, and the program does not start. According to VT+ support the program files are corrupted and the data can only be restored up to the year 2022, as the more recent backups are also affected. Somehow the system is overriding our backups, which makes the latest ones unusable. Any advice what could cause that and how to resolve the issue. Thanks
Windows 11 automatically restarting after install security Update — With GPO and WSUS.
Hi everyone, I’m facing a strange behavior with Windows 11 devices that receive updates through WSUS and are fully managed via Group Policy. Here’s the scenario: We have a GPO configured as follows: -Configure Automatic Updates → 4 (Auto download and schedule the install) -Scheduled installation every day at 10:00 -Install during automatic maintenance → disabled -Active Hours configured -Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours → Enabled -Update deadlines set to 0 (to avoid any forced restart) -No other restart-related policies set in the domain Even with this configuration, after updates are installed, Windows 11 shows the following message: “Your organization manages update settings. We will restart and install this update at X minutes.” And then the device automatically restarts, even when: -a user is logged in -it is outside Active Hours -deadlines are disabled -no-auto-restart is enabled This behavior does not happen on Windows 10 — only on Windows 11.
Runtime installations on Azure Functions
We have a serverless requirement to run an ETL tool jobs from Azure Functions. The run time utility package for the ETL tool, would need to be installed on the azure functions, so it can run those utility tasks when invoked. Is there a standard way of installing a utility package every time the azure function is invoked? Note the azure function would be in python and python does not have an existing package to run informatica jobs.
Partial script not running while deployment
Hi All, I am deploying a windows VM in Azure using terraform and want to install some software while deployment so I thought about PS script extension.

Hello, I would like to use an Azure Machine Learning Compute Cluster as a compute target but do not want it to containerize my project. Is there a way to deactivate this "feature" ? The main reasons behind this request is that : I already set up a docker-compose file that is used to specify 3 containers for Apache Airflow and want to avoid a Docker-in-Docker situation. Especially that I already tried to do so but failed so far. I prefer not to use a Compute Instance as it is tied to an Azure account which is not ideal for automation purposes. Thanks in advance.
