Introduce Yourself.

Hi - thanks for adding me. I'm male, in the UK, and the wrong side of 75. Been working in IT since the 80-column card days through minis, mainframes, PCs, etc. Lapsed Systems Manager, lapsed MCSE. Kind of ashamed I can't resolve my own problem but hoping someone can shed some light.
 
Welcome aboard.. one of my certs is about to expire, a lot of them are old, doesn't matter..
 
Hello world. I am just a power user. Well, in reality, I wanted to become part of the forum in my frustration on where Windows is heading. I do not see true improvements to the OS. I do not understand the architectural decisions being made by the MS team on the OS. I need to stick with it for work reasons and not keen to switch to Apple either.
 
Welcome to the forum, Aurel! It's great to have a passionate .NET (C#) coder like you onboard. Your willingness to contribute and collaborate on tools or projects is fantastic.

If you're looking for inspiration or collaboration opportunities:
  • Check out ongoing threads in the Programming and Scripting section for discussions on utilities, tools, or potential project needs.
  • Feel free to share tools you've already built—community feedback is invaluable.
  • Let the forum users know what areas or domains (e.g., automation, data processing, system utilities) interest you most for potential collaboration.

Looking forward to seeing your contributions—happy coding!
 
Hi, I'm new to the forum. maybe the wrong place to post this. anyone dealing with KB5014754 and the May 10, 2022, update KB5013944?
I manage a small environment with less than 100 users and have a redundant pair of Sever 2022 DC's . For the users in AD I use password based authentication - no certificates. I checked certmgr and did not find any references under "personal" either. The DC's were migrated from 2012 R2 in Aug / September of 2023 and I do not have the May 10, 2022 update installed.

Should I leave the environment as-is since my understanding is that Microsoft is not mandating certificate-based authentication at this time, or am I at risk if I do nothing. TIA

Hi quark,
Welcome to the forum and yes of course this is the wrong place but you asked so my advice is assume Microsoft will find a way to fuck up your environment sooner or later as they turn things off without testing or even letting you know

Are you at risk (aways) = yes but what to do about it needs a plan ie, move to a better sever or lock your current one away... Both

Also goto the forum server section open a new post and give us what details you can including budget , special needs etc... there are lots of experienced managers happy to take a look
