May 11	accepted	Mysterious “fragmentation required” rejections from gateway VM
Apr 22	comment	Possible to re-establish trust with a 2003 R2 member server? This is what I normally do and it works on newer systems, but as mentioned, it doesn't seem to work on 2003 R2 member servers (I suspect in that version it only works for DCs...)
Apr 21	comment	Possible to re-establish trust with a 2003 R2 member server? Was hoping you weren't gonna say that.. :) I figured maybe there was a more "clean" way. In this case fortunately the member didn't have much of anything referenced in AD.

Apr 21	comment	Possible to re-establish trust with a 2003 R2 member server? @pauska Definitely wouldn't want to roll back a DC! No, it's just a member server, not a DC.

Apr 21	comment	Mysterious “fragmentation required” rejections from gateway VM Thank you for the good suggestion. I did get the firewall policy changed. It wasn't the root cause (as I'd figured,) but it did get more information onto the wire that was useful in finding the root cause.

Apr 18	comment	Mysterious “fragmentation required” rejections from gateway VM I wholeheartedly agree: a proper config should allow the ICMP replies. I can hopefully get the local firewalls involved changed. My concern, however, is that - at least if what I've read is true - it's very common for Internet firewalls to disregard this requirement. So even if we fix this locally, it may fail in production due to outside firewalls we have no control over. In a similar setup I had to use MSS clamping so I was figuring on having to do that here too. I'm still mystified as to how some packets worked while others didn't when they were all going over the same direct link.

Apr 17	comment	Stop Windows from switching to local computer for “administrator”? +1 very good points too. Both good answers but Dan not being as high rep, I figured to give him the mark. Problem I have is that we've (somewhat unwisely) ended up with permissions all over which differentiate between lesser Administrators and the master Administrator and changing things all over is a hassle. Good example where it's easy to ignore this sort of thing while the installation is small, and then when it gets bigger it's harder to fix it!
Apr 17	comment	Stop Windows from switching to local computer for “administrator”? Not a large operation at the moment but still a good habit to get into.. I give lesser admins separate accounts as it is.

Feb 21	comment	Adding vCPUs to an existing OS install Thank you for the confirmation. I had a feeling the warning was overblown. It'd be nice if they'd word it more like "may cause instability on legacy operating systems."
