OK I decided to write this up after unsuccessfully being able to find all the required info I needed in one place. In this setup we will be using Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS as the OS. I have this running on a home lab ESXi server 8, on a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF CPU = Intel Core i7-3770 Installed Memory 16 GB I have some 10K SAS drives installed for the VM's If you have not already, navigate to  Get Ubuntu Server | Download | Ubuntu and download the 22.04.2 LTS ISO Next Lets create our VM that we are going to run this in. *Note Im using ESXi however you can probably do this in Workstation, Fusion, VirtualBox etc The main things to note on the VM creation. Set Ubuntu 64 bit as the guest OS Set your CPU relevant to the physicals CPU, I will be starting with 4 VCPU Set your Memory to as much as you can tolerate, I will be using 12 Disk Space - we are creating a 100G swap file, and the rest of the file can take up some room , so more is better if you can afford it Dont forget to add the U

Windows Management Framework 3.0 breaks Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010

-

Recently, Windows Update began offering the Windows Management Framework 3.0 as an Optional update. This includes all forms of update distribution, such as Microsoft Update, WSUS, System Center Configuration Manager and other mechanisms. The key bit here is that the Windows Management Framework 3.0 includes PowerShell 3.0.
Windows Management Framework 3.0 is being distributed as KB2506146 and KB2506143 (which one is offered depends on which server version you are running - Windows Server 2008 SP2 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1).

What does that mean to you?

Windows Management Framework 3.0 (specifically PowerShell 3.0) is not yet supported on any version of Exchange except Exchange Server 2013, which requires it. If you install Windows Management Framework 3.0 on a server running Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010, you will encounter problems, such as Exchange update rollups that will not install, or the Exchange Management Shell may not run properly.
We have seen Exchange update rollups not installing with the following symptoms:
  • If rollup is installed through Microsoft Update, the installation might error with error code 80070643
  • If rollup is installed from a download, the error displayed is Setup ended prematurely because of an error.
  • In both cases, Event ID 1024 may be logged in the Application event log with the error error code “1603”. For example, if you try to install update roll 5 for Exchange 2010 SP2, you may see the following description in event ID 1024:
    Product: Microsoft Exchange Server - Update 'Update Rollup 5-v2 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2 (KB2785908) 14.2.328.10' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Windows Installer can create logs to help troubleshoot issues with installing software packages. Use the following link for instructions on turning on logging support: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=23127
Our guidance at this time is that Windows Management Framework 3.0 should not be deployed on servers running Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010, or on workstations with the Exchange Management Tools for either version installed. If you have already deployed this update, it should be removed. Once you remove the update, functionality should be restored.

vSphere 7 - Specify a vmkernel adapter to use for NFS datastores Step By Step \ Walkthrough on a DVS

 Recently I needed to setup a NFS server but needed it to specifically be on a specific vmkernel adapter. I found this KB https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/50112854 however there were some things missing so I decided to write this walkthrough incase it helps any one else. First thing , remove all NFS mounted datastores if you haven't already. I ran through this on 7.0.2 however is probably the same for other versions. Step 1: This is going to be on a DVS, so we want to go ahead and create a port group to silo off our NFS traffic. To make life easy, we will just call it NFS Static binding and elastic port allocation were the defaults so I let these there. If you are VLAN'ing your traffic modify this info here, and complete the wizard. Next put your host into Maintenance Mode We are going to add a New TCP/IP stack to the host. First check that you have not already created one in the UI by opening a browser to the ESXi host, navigate to networking > TCP/IP Stacks SSH into your ES

Horizon View 2-factor Authentication for Free! with Google Authenticator or others

So after quite a bit of work on my proof of concept google authenticator server, a colleague pointed out that LinOPT has already created this, along a whole slew of other options. So after spending a couple of nights reading and testing I figured id post a simple walk-through to get this up and running in your environment. As mentioned in the title this is a Free solution , however if you are wanting to scale this in a large organization you would most likely want to explore their support contracts , this is a good fall back when things just don't work and this also help the developers keep this type of software free for the rest of us. To start off we want to create 2 objects in Active Director. The first is just a standard user account LinOTP will use to connect to your domain. You can put these any where in your domain as we will access them directly later. In my case i create one called 'LinOTP Svc' and put it in the default Users OU. Next create a Global or
