Windows 2012 R2 hangs at splash screen after reboot on Esxi-5.5
It turns out this is a known issue and VMware has released KB2092807 to address it. Each processor has a TimeStampCounter (TSC) which is essentially an odometer that counts how many cycles the processor has run since its last reboot.

1.             Web Client: Settings -> VM Options -> Advanced -> Edit Configuration
2.             monitor_control.enable_softResetClearTSC


Set the value to "true" as shown in the following snapshot.

Legacy Windows XP clients must match the Certificate Common Name in Outlook for (RPC over HTTP) Exchange 2013

Image
In this post I am going to discuss these two topics a bit further as this issue will impact many organisations moving to Exchange 2013 for those still running Windows XP (despite the fact it is no longer supported) seeming Exchange 2013 only supports RPC over HTTP or MAPI over HTTP (out of scope for this article). To recap what I wrote about in the previous articles 5 years ago, for RPC over HTTP(s) aka Outlook Anywhere to work on any version of the Outlook Client on the XP, the MSSTD value must match the "Common Name" on the certificate. What am I talking about? Well let me show you...

How to Configure ActiveSync Virtual Directories in coexistence between exchange 2007 and 2013, when you have different external and internal namespaces

Image
In coexistence environment (exchange 2007-2013), we could set Exchange 2013 ActiveSync External URL to mail.yourexternaldomain.com and set Internal URL to mail.yourinternaldomain.com . And set Exchange 2007 Internal URL to  mail.yourinternaldomain.com  and set External URL to Null .  We could run the following commands. Set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -Identity "<CAS2013>\Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync (Default Web Site)" -ExternalUrl "https:// mail.yourexternaldomain.com /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync"    –InternalURL “https:// mail.yourinternaldomain.com /Microsoft-Server ActiveSync” Set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -Identity "<CAS2007>\Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync (Default Web Site)" -ExternalUrl $Null    –InternalURL “https:// mail.yourinternaldomain.com  /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync”
