Remote Desktop Profile keep deleting.

I have noticed one issue with RDS service. I created a user and noticed that the user kept me asking twice to configure his email account as it disappeared suddenly.

went through some troubleshooting and found that the user profile is missing under C:\Users on my RDS server user profile.

As per the google search it's a bug in RDS and the way to troubleshoot is deleting registry entry and login again. Even i was able to noticed that the specific user profile was in registry with ".bak"

the registry to delete is , Just right click and delete the Key and log in the user again.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

After i logged in i was able to see the registry with out .bak and now i could be able to see that the user profile is in my Users drive.

Thanks.

Create new Alias on Office Cloud mail 365.

Hear we go with another new topic,

We all must be wondering how we can save the license cost for number of email account hosted with cloud mail exchange.

Easiest way to save some money is creating an Alias ,

Alias can be given as an email account and it will attached to an email account.

say for an example i got a mail address call test@test.com.au and have an alias call career@test.com

When some one send mail to career@test.com.au it will come to my mail box test@test.com.au but i cannot reply from career@test.com.au

when i reply it will go as test@test.com.au.

lets see how we can setup this...

Login to office 365 mail portal

Click on Admin then go to users

It will take you users and you need to edit the user

Click on the Edit next to user name and add Alias

Now add the email you want for Alias

That is all. Alias is ready to use,.....

Domain Name Transfer

Lets have a look on how we can transfer a domain from one management to another user management.

Before you transfer you must have the following information

1) Domain Password : XXXXXXXX
2) Change the contact mail address : call to the previous company who manages the domain and ask to update the email address , This is where you will get the Authorisation code once the domain transferred. You need this code to complete the transfer.

Now go to GoDaddy.com , click on Domain and then Domain Transfer.

Enter the domain name you want to transfer.

Enter the Authorization code ( Domain Password)

Click Continue and Finish the Transfer.

Now login to your GoDaddy Account and go to domain . Click Transfer

Then click on Manage.

Now you have to login to the email account that you have updated to receive email notification from domain and find the information

Transaction ID: ‎XXXXXXXX

Security Code: XXXXXXXXX

Enter the following information below

Click Next

Click Finish , Thats all. Domain is Transferred
