Hello visitor. Can you leave a comment and tell me what you were looking for? This article gets so much traffic and probably is not what you were looking for. I wonder what that is.
This is not a usual issue and in my case happened only once during some experimentation. But it still can happen. We have our AD objects synchronized into Azure AD via Azure AD Connect service. When you delete a user in your local AD, after a synchronization it is moved into Deleted users container in Azure AD (Admin center > Users > Deleted users). You can even restore a user via graphical interface in Office 365 admin center. Though i haven’t tried this, as this might not play well with our setup. But you can’t delete users from Deleted users in there. They will disappear after a 30 days period. If you still need to remove a deleted user right away, there is a PowerShell command for that. To do this you have to install Azure AD PowerShell Module, which i have mentioned here.
This game can easily be included among the party games (hence the part Party in the name). Because there is no lack of laughter or emotions during its play (sometimes very strong emotions though). This is my second game from Renegade Game Studios. I’ve seen its review long time ago, but when i saw it on my FLGS website with a discount and a very attractive price, i thought “Why not? It can be handy in my collection”. So far a few plays of it were truly fun. It can be hard though, especially for those having trouble imagining geometric shapes in their minds (like myself). But when using only the easiest level cards and with less strict rules, it can be also used with kids. It will help developing their dexterity skills and analytic vision, and maybe also cooperating skills 🙂 There can be permanent or temporary pairs of players during the game. Each pair must decide who will be the architect (telling what and how to build) and the builder (the one actually building the thing) during each round. The architect must also choose which card among ones he or she has will be built (there are 4 types of cards of varying levels of difficulty). And all this is spiced up with special rules cards, one of which is flipped before every round and dictates how things should work. Maybe the architect must remain silent and only use gestures to give the instructions. Or maybe the builder has to build it blindfolded. It will be hilarious either way 🙂 It can be very difficult to obey the rules sometimes and not put the right brick into builder’s hand or to be silent, when you shouldn’t speak. In time you start to see what works better in different situations, how you can better describe things when one or another rule is in play. When you become the builder, you start to realize how it was for another player, when you was the architect and vice versa. It’s a very simple game with a very few components and all the figures on the cards are fairly similar. So the freshness of it can evaporate quickly. Though, there are a few blank cards for those who want to create their own rules. The game can also be created with a few spare Lego bricks and paper sheets for figures and rules. But it’s a fairly cheap game, so it’s probably not worth it to invest time to build your won copy. Simple, but fun. Strong 7/10.
At some point in 2015 computers running Windows 7 or Windows Vista started having an issue with a very long updates check. It is probably affecting Windows 8/8.1 as well. Freshly installed Windows 7 machine can spend many hours or even days to complete a check, when it was just a few minutes normally. Machines with less resources wouldn’t be able to complete a check even when doing this non-stop for days. CPU usage would stay abnormally high during the check.
Issues with an expired Windows (AD) password was always a bane of system administrators/helpdesk operators. But Microsoft managed to get things worse by removing the nagging dialog asking you to change your password (present in Windows XP) and changing it to a subtle tooltip popup (since Windows Vista). So subtle, that even i miss it often.. As we are slowly transitioning to more mobile workflow (working from home, from mobile, in your browser) this will generate even more issues and users’ frustration with technology. So we looked into options to more actively remind our users about the eminent expiration of their passwords. I’m still puzzled why nobody at Microsoft thought about adding this option (to send a reminder via email/sms) to Exchange or Office 365. There are a number of paid tools on the web. Most of them do a lots of other stuff and password management and reminders is usually a single module. Same is true for ManageEngine’s ADSelfService Plus suite and it’s standalone freeware
