Event ID – 4227 - TCP/IP failed to establish an outgoing connection Event ID 4227



Check if decrease TcpTimeWaitDelay and increase MaxUserPort could help to solve the issue.
1. The location of the TcpTimeWaitDelay is:
HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters. Add REG_DWORD named TcpTimedWaitDelay, we may set the value to 30 seconds, by default, the value is 4 minutes.
Here is the detailed information about TcpTimedWaitDelay:
2. Then we may use command netsh int ipv4 set dynamicport tcp start=10000 num=20000 to expand dynamic port range.

Failover Cluster Step-by-Step Guide: Configuring Accounts in Active Directory

Failover Cluster Step-by-Step Guide: Configuring Accounts in Active Directory


Steps for troubleshooting password problems with the cluster name account

Use this procedure if there is an event message about computer objects or about the cluster identity that includes the following text. Note that this text will be within the event message, not at the beginning of the event message:
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
Event messages that fit the previous description indicate that the password for the cluster name account and the corresponding password stored by the clustering software no longer match.
For information about ensuring that cluster administrators have the correct permissions to perform the following procedure as needed, see Planning ahead for password resets and other account maintenance, earlier in this guide.
Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. In addition, your account must be given Reset password permission for the cluster name account (unless your account is a Domain Admins account or is the Creator Owner of the cluster name account). The account that was used by the person who installed the cluster can be used for this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477.

To troubleshoot password problems with the cluster name account

  1. To open the failover cluster snap-in, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Failover Cluster Management. (If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.)
  2. In the Failover Cluster Management snap-in, if the cluster you want to configure is not displayed, in the console tree, right-click Failover Cluster Management, click Manage a Cluster, and select or specify the cluster you want.
  3. In the center pane, expand Cluster Core Resources.
  4. Under Cluster Name, right-click the Name item, point to More Actions, and then click Repair Active Directory Object.

Require Users to Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to Approve UAC Elevation


Require Users to Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to Approve UAC Elevation

 When I try to use Ctrl-Alt-Del with my on-screen keyboard, I get an error message about clicking my user tile. What and where is this user title?




Resolution:

 To use the commands available when you press ctrl+alt+del click your user tile and choose an option

If you are getting this error, you are probably trying to reset the password and this should help:

 This procedure is the only one which worked for me on a Windows 2012 R2 RDP session:


  1. Click Start.
  2. Type osk (to bring up the on screen keyboard)
  3. Hit enter.
  4. Once the on screen keyboard is open, hold ctrl+Alt on your physical keyboard, then click on the del key in the on screen keyboard.
  5. Minimize the on screen Keyboard.

How to fix a compromised (hacked) Microsoft Office 365 account



Verify that the users machine is not compromised

Make sure the user has anti-malware software installed, running and that it's up-to-date.

  • Remove mailbox delegates.
  • Disable mail forwarding rules to external domains.
  • Remove global mail forwarding property on mailbox.
  • Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on the user's account.
  • Set password complexity on the account to be high.
  • Enable mailbox auditing.
  • Produce Audit Log for the admin to review.
Resolution Steps: 

Issue – O365 user unable to send emails due to “Potentially Compromised Account’ Error.

Resolution: 

  1. Login to O365 Admin Portal
  2. Go to “Exchange”  in Admin Centers
  3. Now go to  “Protection”
  4. In Protection Page Search for the Restricted User
  5. In the End There is “Actions” Section Click on Unblock – This will allow user to send out emails
