Cloud Admin Notebook: How to run Office365 powershell session with one click

If you are managing many companies through the powershell as me, it’s easy to switch to other consumer by accident. So you can run your connection and in the last step enter password for different company which ends in redirection to another Office365 tenant, not that one you have needed.

Also, it’s time waste to enter credentials twice everytime you need to logon to different tenant.

I propose you to keep your credentials in files encrypted and prepare separate scripts for every tenant.

Super Tuesday: A Patch Tuesday We Won’t Forget – Palo Alto Networks BlogPalo Alto Networks Blog

Sometimes “Patch Tuesday” comes and goes with little excitement or fanfare; yesterday was not one of those days. In just one day, Oracle released patches for 154 new vulnerabilities, Adobe issued updates for Flash and ColdFusion, and Microsoft released 24 patches of their own. On top of the sheer volume of patches, we learned that three of the Microsoft vulnerabilities were being exploited in targeted attack campaigns.

The Secret Bottleneck of VDI

For years, organizations deploying VDI for the first time have felt the sting of the most common issue that plagues virtual desktops: inadequate performance from shared storage.  The storage infrastructure that has worked well for decades when used for servers is found to be dramatically lacking when virtual desktops are deployed to it; for that reason, VDI has received many black eyes (and in some CxO offices, a permanent bad reputation) and that has been very difficult to overcome.

Disable Offline Files in Windows 7

Offline files in Windows are a set of features that essentially give users the ability to work with files off of or outside of the network.  So for example if a user had a laptop that had a mapped drive or network share and were to take their computer outside of the network, the features offered by offline files would allow this user to continue working with these files.
