Ever since moving to modern operating systems such as Windows 8 and beyond, I have found the Offline Files feature in the enterprise to be less and less of a value bringer and more of a support burden for the front line.

I noted on Twitter the other day that I had mixed feelings on getting a breakthrough on a problem that I had faced a couple of months ago by revisiting said problem with a fresh pair of eyes and a different point of view.

Not normally the application packaging type but some time ago it fell to me to package up some open source fonts and deploy them via System Centre Configuration Manager across the enterprise.

It’s quite common for members of one Active Directory security group to be replicate in another.

Access is denied is a truly wonderful error.

With a drop in testing and in it’s place, a variety of fast and slow rings to roll out updates to Windows 10 users globally, many are clamouring for the latest major revision to Windows 10 entitled ‘Creators Update’ (or for those with a liking for codenames or versions, that’s Redstone 2 and 1703 for you).

Windows 10 Creators Update was made available to the masses on Tuesday gone by.

I hit a brick wall today while smashing together various PowerShell code snippets for a script I am working on (that I’ll share later).

Now that the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) has been released to the masses in Windows 10 Anniversary Update and you have have installed the feature and had a play, What happens if you want to start from scratch and reset everything to a fresh state?

No no, the latest update to Windows 10 will not make you want to bash your head against a brick wall; Update 1607, otherwise known as Anniversary Update 1 (code name Redstone 1) brings a very surprising feature to the Windows landscape; Linux on Windows.
