My 2010 report card

One thing that I look forward to is the evaluations from my classes.  Microsoft utilizes Metrics That Matter to allow students to provide feedback about the course, content, training provider and yours truly.  Below is the summary data of my performance as compared to other MCTs for 2010.  As you can all see below, I am well above average.

Statistically speaking, that is a 96% approval from my students.

Student comments from 2010:
“Jason has presented classes I have attended in the past and he is a good instructor and knows his material well.”

“I don't know how he could have improved. He really was great at providing examples, and his understanding was excellent.”

“If Jason doesn't know the answer to any of my questions he will find out and I will get "the email". I am always happy with his answers.”

“I appreciated Jason's control in a trying environment. He was able to walk us through keeping the Hyper-V environment working for these labs. Jason also brought real world examples to each of the modules to explain many of the concepts.”

“Jason was an excellent instructor.”

“Excellent instructor and very knowledgeable!”

“He did extremely well. One of the better instructors that I've taken classes from.”

“Listened, responded, tried to involve the group. Researched questions relating to the topics of the class. Involved teaching style.”

“Very pleased with the instructors knowledge and presentation skills. I felt that his ability to provide real life examples allowed me to learn more about this subject, opposed to just standing up there and giving a power point presentation. Even though this was only a 3 day course, the instructor was very personable and very willing to help or find a solution to a question.”

“Jason did a great job. He was very helpful and you can tell he really loves his job.”

“Did a great job!”

“Excellent, as usual”

“He knows his stuff and was able to engage in a conversation/discussion as needed for clarification.”

“Great Instructor.”

“Maybe the best instructor I have ever had.”

“Very good teach style. Highly recommend.”

“One of the only issues I had with this course was that it was not a server 2008 R2 environment. Jason was able to help me overcome this by stating how you would do a task in both R1 and R2 scenarios.”

Sticky Key problem between Windows Server 2012 and LogMeIn

This week I instructed my first class using Windows Server 2012 accessed via LogMeIn and discovered a Sticky Key problem every time you press the Shift key. Here is my solution to resolve this.  First off, in the Preferences of LogMeIn for the connection to the Windows Server, click General . Change the Keyboard and mouse priority to Host side user and click Apply at the bottom. On the Windows 2012 server, open the Control Panel – Ease of Access – Change how your keyboard works . Uncheck Turn on Sticky Keys . Click Set up Sticky Keys . Uncheck Turn on Sticky Keys when SHIFT is pressed five times . Click OK twice. If you are using Windows Server 2012 as a Hyper-V host, you will need to redo the Easy of Use settings on each guest operating system in order to avoid the Sticky Key Problem. Updated Information: March 20, 2013 If you continue to have problems, Uncheck Turn on Filter Keys .

Where did a User’s Account Get Locked Out?

Updated: May 15, 2015 When this article was originally published, two extra carriage returns were add causing the code to malfunction.  The code below is correct.   My client for this week’s PowerShell class had a really interesting question. They needed to know where an account is being locked out at. OK, interesting. Apparently users hop around clients and forget to log off, leading to eventual lock out of their accounts. The accounts can be unlocked, but are then relocked after Active Directory replication. This problem is solved in two parts. The first one is to modify the event auditing on the network. The second part is resolved with PowerShell. The first part involves creating a group policy that will encompass your Domain Controllers. In this GPO, make these changes. Expand Computer Configuration \ Policies \ Windows Settings \ Security Settings \ Advanced Audit Policy Configuration \ Audit Policies \ Account Management Double click User Account Management C...

How to run GPResult on a remote client with PowerShell

In the past, to run the GPResult command, you would need to either physically visit this client, have the user do it, or use and RDP connection.  In all cases, this will disrupt the user.  First, you need PowerShell remoting enabled on the target machine.  You can do this via Group Policy . Open PowerShell and type this command. Invoke-Command –ScriptBlock {GPResult /r} –ComputerName <ComputerName> Replace <ComputerName> with the name of the target.  Remember, the target needs to be online and accessible to you.
