Virtual domain controller loses domain connection after reboot
Submitted by Shane Stewart on Tue, 2021-Aug-03
I have been seeing an issue where a 2019 virtual domain controller will restart and set its network type to Private instead of Domain. This seems to be due to the virtual server starting up so quickly and causes issues with various computers and programs connecting to the server.
If I restart the Network Location Awareness service the network interface immediately recognizes the connection to the domain and clients are able to connect.
Last month I experienced an odd issue that I thought I should share. I have an AMD Radeon HD7770 video card and recently updated the Catalyst Control Center software. Shortly afterwards I started noticing that it would take a minute or two for my sound to switch between my headphones and speakers. The issue was so annoying and problematic (issues with my VOip calls etc) I ultimately ended up reinstalling my OS.
Pretty much anyone I talk to these days asks me how to better manage their pleathera of passwords. While some people may only have a handful of these devilish strings of characters to remember, some of us have more than we could realistically remember if they were not managed properly. Sure you can always "Request a new password" on most websites; however there are some sites / systems where you cannot easily reset a lost password.
