Configuring Windows 10 via GPO
Hello
I’d like to configure my Windows 10 to have zero unannounced installations. That is it must ask user or admin, first, regardless of what it’s installing.
Secondly I’d like to set the internet traffic in / out to zero bytes unless either initiated by user or admin or approved by user / admin.
I’ve spent a few days looking at individual policies and got pretty close but I’ve had to reinstall now cause Microsoft Security would not load at all after setting the previous set of rules.
If posted in wrong thread, please advise. Thank you for reading my help request

Combide data using the command readcell
Hi, I have discovered that I have some issues when combining the output data that were saved in a text file. I tried to use readmatrix but some data are lost.
For example, I have attached three text files that contains cell data with columns x row. The number of columns have a constant value of 70, and the number of rows it may vary from each file. When I have created a foor loop to read all the data and combine them in a global matrix, I realized that some files files are read as cell arrays and they are not separated like others and creates an issue when combining them. I was trying to spit the files and create some conditions for those cases but some data is loose and the number of columns are lost and creates an issue when I want to combine the data in a global matrix. I would appreciate the help.Hi, I have discovered that I have some issues when combining the output data that were saved in a text file. I tried to use readmatrix but some data are lost.

Vertcat tables with structure variables with different fieldnames
Hello! I’m having troubles when creating a table within a loop because some table variables are structure arrays that have different fieldnames. I get the following error :
Error using vertcat : Names of fields in structure arrays being concatenated do not match. Concatenation of structure arrays requires that these arrays have the same set of fields.
Example of my code :
%Inputs
ExampleTable = table();
Orig_1 = struct(‘m4ADG’,’folder_1′,’Group’,’folder_group’);
Orig_2 = struct(‘m5B0′,’folder_2′,’Group’,’folder_group’);
item = {‘charArray’,[1 1 1], Orig_1; ‘otherChar’,[1 2 1], Orig_2};

Get tailored insights with our Advisor Well-Architected assessments
For cloud applications and mission-critical workloads, organizations trust Azure to drive innovation, scale operations, and keep their business competitive. As cloud environments grow more complex, however, companies strive to build secure and reliable cloud infrastructures while maintaining cost-efficiency—but achieving this balance can be daunting. We understand how important it is for our customers to implement better applications through curated guidance based on the needs and demands of their organizations, which is why we’re thrilled to announce Advisor Well-Architected assessment in Azure, now in public preview.
Advisor Well-Architected assessments are self-guided questionnaires that provide tailored, actionable recommendations to optimize Azure resources and align with Azure Well-Architected Framework (WAF) principles. The assessments contribute to enhancing system performance, resiliency, security and cost -efficiency while ensuring operational excellence to maximize the returns from cloud infrastructure. And when complemented by the FinOps framework—a set of best practices for optimizing cloud costs, enhancing operational efficiency, and driving business value—your organization can proactively identify cost-saving opportunities, avoid overspending, and ensure that your cloud solutions are both technically sound and financially sustainable.
In this blog we’ll introduce you to the benefits of the Advisor Well-Architected assessment capability and show how assessments can help you achieve optimal infrastructure performance.
What are the business benefits of Advisor Well-Architected assessments?
Advisor Well-Architected assessment provides curated guidance after a comprehensive review of your cloud environments based on your organizational goals. The recommendations produced by this assessment not only help address potential issues before they become critical but also help you design systems to ensure maximum resiliency and availability to support business-critical workloads.
Here are some key benefits:
Holistic view: The assessments provide a comprehensive view of the workload’s architecture, allowing customers to improve various aspects such as resiliency and performance efficiency.
Tailored recommendations: Customers receive tailored recommendations based on the Azure Well-Architected Framework to enhance their workloads. These recommendations are actionable and come with supporting links to assist in implementation.
Continuous improvement: The assessments are designed to be part of a continuous improvement cycle, helping customers to regularly update and optimize their workloads.
Integration with operational processes: Recommendations can be exported and integrated into the customer’s operational processes, aligning with the workload’s software development lifecycle (SDLC) for ongoing improvements.
Prioritization of tasks: The assessment helps workload owners and stakeholders to prioritize tasks based on the assessment’s findings, ensuring that the most critical improvements are addressed first.
Decision tradeoffs: The trade-offs within the Azure Well-Architected Framework represent a strategic benefit, as they encourage a comprehensive approach to designing and managing cloud workloads. By understanding and balancing the interplay between the five pillars, customers are equipped to make informed decisions that align with business objectives.
The assessment experience is your companion in the journey towards excellence in cloud workload optimization. The recommendations help reduce unplanned outages, avoid bloated bills, maintain compliance with industry regulations, detect vulnerabilities, boost performance, and ensure operational excellence, thus optimizing your cloud infrastructure. That makes assessing your workloads not a luxury but essential due diligence to ensure an optimized cloud infrastructure.
What is Azure Well-Architected Framework and how does it interconnect with FinOps?
The Azure Well-Architected Framework (WAF) is a design framework that can improve the quality of a workload and spans five pillars of:
Reliability: Design systems to recover from failures and meet availability targets.
Security: Protect applications and data from threats with a layered defense approach.
Cost Optimization: Maximize business value by balancing cost and performance.
Operational Excellence: Run and monitor systems to deliver business value and continually improve processes.
Performance Efficiency: Design systems to scale and adapt to changing requirements while maintaining efficiency.
FinOps is a cultural practice and operational framework that brings together technology, finance, and business teams to drive financial accountability and maximize the value of your cloud investments. The FinOps framework and WAF complement each other by aligning financial management and operational excellence in cloud environments.
The FinOps Framework focuses on understanding, optimizing, and managing cloud costs, while WAF provides best practices for building and maintaining efficient, reliable, and cost-effective applications on Azure. Together, they ensure that organizations can achieve financial accountability and technical excellence in their cloud infrastructure.
FinOps comprises four key domains:
Understand Cloud Usage & Cost: Gather and categorize cloud cost and usage data for comprehensive understanding.
Quantify Business Value: Connect cloud usage and cost data to the business value it generates.
Optimize Cloud Usage & Cost: Ensure efficient cloud resource usage and cost-effectiveness.
Manage the FinOps Practice: Enable continuous improvement in FinOps adoption and organizational alignment.
The “Optimize Cloud Usage & Cost” domain is particularly crucial for the purposes of the Advisor Well-Architected assessment, as it focuses on ensuring efficient use of cloud resources and cost-effectiveness. This aligns with the WAF’s cost optimization pillar, which emphasizes designing cloud solutions that maximize value while minimizing expenses. Both frameworks advocate continuous monitoring and adjustments to achieve optimal financial and operational efficiency.
How do I use Advisor Well-Architected assessments?
Running a WAF assessment on Azure Advisor is a simple, straightforward process.
Sign in to the Azure portal and select Advisor from any page.
Select New Assessment in the Assessments page
3. Select the subscription, workload (optional attribute), assessment type and enter a name for the assessment. Select Next.

Random window scaling / DPI issues when running GE Viewpoint as a published app in AVD
This issue mostly if not exclusively occur when running the desktop client of AVD. The web version seems to work much better, but we need the desktop client for resolution and multiple screen support reasons.
Within the application when I click on a sub menu (the problems happens throughout the application not only in this one area) for example as shown below:
The resulting popup window sometimes does not render correctly as shown below, it gets chopped off and when you hover over the edge of the pop up it is as if it is in a different place.
If you do find the edge and resize it, the window does render as expected and you can then move on (shown below). The issue appears to be random but happens for multiple clients, laptops and desktops, docked and not docked. We have also tried multiple versions of the AVD desktop client including the beta version available in the Windows Store.
Appreciate any help.

Microsoft Project Professional custom fields error before publishing
I am experiencing strange behavior in Ms Project Professional. It is related to certain custom task fields. When I open a project, the fields show #ERROR (error). After making a minor change to the project, such as displaying an additional field and publishing, the error disappears. This behavior would not be a problem if, after publishing the first time, the error disappeared permanently. Unfortunately, the error persists. That is, I close the file, open it again and again the fields show an error, which only disappears (temporarily) after making a small change and publishing but reappears every time the file is opened. I tend to think it’s related to a formulation that depends on two other columns with rollup. Due to the calculations I have to do I can’t find an alternative solution. Has anyone seen this behavior before? Do you have a good explanation? any alternative solution?

Oral Dose Not Exhibiting Absorption/Bioavailability in Simulation
Hello! I am trying to use this model "Estimating the Bioavailibility of a Drug" that I found here, to do a simultaneous fitting of my IV infusion and P.O. blood concentration time profile. I implemented a two compartment model as well. For some reason, when I am running a simulation the oral dose exhibits a bioavailbility of >= 1, even though I have the parameter F set as 0.2. I attached images of my simulation curve (green is oral dose), model diagram, ODEs, and dosing setup. I’m thinking it might have something to do with the way I set up the dosing, but please let me know if you have any advice on how I should troubleshoot this. I am using R2024a. Please let me know if I should include anything else. Thanks!Hello!

Simple Excel sum formula showing error
I have a simple Excel spreadsheet (summary) with multiple columns (approx. 48) summarizing nine rows of data linked from an adjoining sheet (upload). The columns total down with no problem. However, the rows totaling across are suddenly showing a #REF! error. I can see no such errors on my summary spreadsheet or on the sheet it is linked to.
I have been making changes on the linked sheet and verifying the column totals on the summary sheet after each change. I did not notice the error in the total column on the far right until it came onto the screen as I worked across. My formulas reference the range of columns from B to AT; for row 42, the formula looks like this: “=SUM(B42:AT42). The simple suggestion at MicroSoft Support that something in my cell reference was deleted or pasted over does not apply. Even if I had deleted a column, other than B or AT, it wouldn’t (shouldn’t) affect the formula.
As I said earlier, all my columns total down correctly and none is showing an error. The error is on every row, which seems odd. If I had done something anywhere, it seems it would affect not only the related row but also it should be affecting the related column. I’m sure I’ve done something to cause this, I just can’t figure out what. I continue to search.
One more thing I have other sections in this worksheet where rows are totaling across properly. If you have a suggestion share it with me.
Thanks for your time.

new outlook and ios outlook stopped connecting to my exchange account
I’ve been using New Outlook on a Mac desktop, MacBook Pro and Outlook ios on iPhone for years. Made no changes to any device, but suddenly outlook stopped connecting and updating across all devices and will no longer connect to myexchange email and calendars.
Outlook.com works perfectly. Legacy Outlook works perfectly on Mac desktopI can also use the account using apple mail and apple calendar.
I have run the gamut with Rackspace support and Microsoft support. We did everything: install,uninstall, screen share session. Everything on the server side shows green connecting normally. However, the iPhone or new Outlook on both Mac and MacBook just shows “downloading, this could take a few moments,” and there is no icon in the top corner showing my account info.
As this is the same on iPhone, Mac desktop, and Macbook, it isn’t device-specific but rather seems to be all Apple machines but only with new Outlook and iOS, and not legacy Outlook.
I’m told that regular msft support can’t help me furhter that I need to contact Outlook for Mac support using the contact support featlure in the app. Unfortunately, using that just gives me a blank white box. Attempting to use contact support through other apps like word, pptx, etc just gives me a the pinwheel of death and freezes up the program.
So, i”m on here trying to figure out how to connect with someone, anyone who can help me get this figured out and fixed.

Creating a Local Network Virtual Appliance in Azure for Oracle Database@Azure
Oracle Database@Azure is an Oracle database service running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), collocated in Microsoft data centers. This ensures that the Oracle Database@Azure service has the fastest possible access to Azure resources and applications. The solution is intended to support the migration of Oracle database workloads to Azure, where customers can integrate and innovate with the breadth of Microsoft Cloud services.
For more information and to gain a better understanding of Oracle Database@Azure please visit Overview – Oracle Database@Azure | Microsoft Learn
Problem Statement
The current Oracle Database@Azure service has a network limitation where it cannot respond to network connections outside of its Azure virtual network ( VNet ). This limitation places constraints on extending integration to Azure services not located within the same Vnet. This issue also impacts network communication from on-premises that need to connect to the Oracle Database@Azure.
The solution is to leverage the deployment of a Network Virtual Appliance (NVA) within the Oracle Database@Azure VNet to overcome this network limitation. Microsoft and Oracle have collaborated on developing a design pattern to eliminate this network limitation, but for customers who are deploying to Azure regions where this pattern is not yet available, customers will have to deploy an NVA.
Deploying an NVA
The NVA consists of a Linux virtual machine (VM) and any supported distribution on Azure can be used. The NVA referenced in this article is not a traditional firewall, but a VM acting as a router with IP forwarding enabled and not intended to be an enterprise-scale Firewall NVA. This solution is only expected to help customers bridge the gap until the jointly engineered design pattern is available in all Azure regions.
The deployment of the NVA helps solve the specific scenarios outlined below:
where traffic inspection is required between Oracle Database on Azure and other resources
where native network support is not available
with resources that have private endpoints
resources on another Azure virtual network (VNet)
services with delegated subnets
connectivity with on-premises
Additional details on supported network topologies can be found within the following article Network planning for Oracle Database@Azure | Microsoft Learn
Scope
This article’s scope will review a network scenario within an Azure Landing Zone requiring an NVA. The deployment steps of the NVA and other ancillary steps required to complete the end-to-end implementation are included. The deployment steps of the NVA and other ancillary steps required to complete the end-to-end implementation. This article does not cover the hybrid connectivity from on-premises to Azure. That scenario will be covered in a later article; however, both share the same method of using User Defined Routes (UDR) .
Scenario Review
The Azure Landing Zone consists of Hub and Spoke architecture where the application layer is hosted in a Vnet specific for the application front end services, such as web servers. The Oracle Database@Azure is deployed in a separate dedicated Vnet for data. The Oracle Database@Azure is deployed in separate dedicated Vnet for data. The goal is to provide bidirectional network connectivity between the application layer and the data layer.
The following diagram is an overview of the scenario prior to implementation. The intent is to facilitate communication between the application layer and the data layer.
Before
Deployment
The steps provided in this article should be followed in the designated order to ensure the expected results. The steps provided in this article should be followed in the designated order to ensure the correct expected results. Please consult with either your Microsoft or Oracle representative if you have specific questions related to your environment.
Environment Overview
Hub VNet (10.0.0.0/16)
Hub NVA: 10.0.0.4
Spoke 1 VNet – Application Tier (10.1.0.0/16)
Application Server: 10.1.0.4
Spoke 2 VNet – Oracle Database (10.2.0.0/16)
Oracle DB Subnet: 10.2.0.0/24
Oracle Database: 10.2.0.4
Local NVA Subnet: 10.2.1.0/24
Local NVA: 10.2.1.4
Note: At the time this article was published, Azure Firewall is currently only supported by this scenario using an NVA. Third-party NVA’s also require the custom NVA solution to support network communication.
Create a Linux VM in Azure as an NVA
Set up a Linux VM (using any supported distributions on Azure) in the desired resource group and region as the Oracle Database@Azure using your deployment method of choice (for example Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, or Azure CLI). As a security recommendation, be sure to leverage Secure Shell (SSH) public/private keys to ensure secure communication.
Ensure the VM is in the same Vnet, but on a separate subnet from the Oracle Database@Azure delegated subnet as well as the dedicated Oracle backup subnet if it has been deployed
Note: Sizing is very much driven by the actual traffic pattern. Consider how much traffic (volume) packets per second are required to support the implementation. Starting with a 2-core general-purpose VM (D2s_v5 with 2 vCPUs) and 8 GiB (gibibytes) of memory including accelerated networking which can be used to gauge initial performance. High storage/IOPS performance SKUs are not necessary for this use case.
As part of the deployment and monitoring strategy please consult Welcome | Azure Monitor Baseline Alerts for the proper Azure Monitor counters that should be enabled against the NVA to ensure performance and availability.
Enable IP Forwarding on the VM’s NIC (Network Interface Cards)
Go to the Networking section of the NVA VM in the Azure portal
Select the Network Interface
Under Settings, choose IP configurations
Enable IP forwarding
Enable IP Forwarding at the Operating System level
SSH into the VM.
Edit the sysctl configuration file to enable IP forwarding: sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
Uncomment the following line: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
Save and exit out of nano to apply the changes
Run the following command to reset the network status to forward network traffic without a reboot on the VM: sudo sysctl -p and hit enter. You should see the following line net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 will appear on the screen indicating the changes were made successfully.
Ensure that the local firewall on the NVA is not enabled or set to block traffic. This can be done with a simple check on the firewall by running the following command sudo iptables -L and hit enter. This will list any possible firewall rules.
Note: If there are rules disable them with the following command sudo iptables -F and hit enter. To ensure that the firewall is not enabled by accident run the following command sudo systemctl disable iptables and hit enter.
Ensure that the Network Security Group (NSG) on the NVA is allowing all traffic from the application Vnet and the Oracle Database@Azure delegated subnet.
Configure Route Tables
Oracle Database@Azure Vnet (Spoke)
Create a route table in the Azure portal in the same region and proper resource group (RG) where the Oracle Database@Azure is located. Give it a meaningful name.
Add routes to the route table:
Oracle Database Subnet: Associate the route table with this subnet.
From Oracle Database Subnet: Set the next hop for 0.0.0.0/0 to the local NVA VM.
Important: Ensure in the configuration of the route table that all route propagation is disabled. This setup ensures that all traffic to and from the Oracle Database is forced through your local NVA.
Configure Route Tables for the NVA in the Oracle Database @azure Vnet
Create another route table in the Azure portal in the same region and proper resource group (RG) where the Oracle Database@Azure is located. Give it a meaningful name.
Add routes to the route table:
NVA Subnet: Associate the route table with this subnet.
From NVA Subnet: Set the next hop for 0.0.0.0/0 to the HUB NVA (10.0.0.4).
Important: Ensure in the configuration of the route table that all route propagation is disabled. This setup ensures that all traffic to and from the Oracle Database is forced through your local NVA.
Route Configuration Application Tier
Route to Hub NVA
Create another route table in the Azure portal in the same region and proper resource group (RG) where the Oracle Database@Azure is located. Give it a meaningful name.
Application Subnet: Attach the route table to the Application Subnet in the application Vnet.
Route from Application Vnet: Destination: 10.2.0.0/24 (Oracle Database Subnet) Next Hop: 10.0.0.4 (Hub NVA)
Important: Ensure in the configuration of the route table that all route propagation is disabled. This setup ensures that all traffic to and from the Oracle Database is forced through your local NVA.
Route Configuration Hub VNet
Route to Local NVA:
Create another route table in the Azure portal in the same region and proper resource group (RG) where the Oracle Database@Azure is located. Give it a meaningful name.
Firewall Subnet: Attach the route table to the Firewall Subnet in the Hub Vnet.
From Firewall Subnet: Set the next hop 10.2.0.0/24 (Oracle Subnet) to 10.2.1.4 (Local NVA)
Please ensure if you have a Cisco or Palo Alto or other third-party NVA’s that there are no internal static routes that may conflict with the custom route table from Azure.
Important: Ensure in the configuration of the route table that all route propagation is disabled. This setup ensures that all traffic to and from the Oracle Database is forced through your local NVA.
When finished the implementation network flow and environment should match the following diagram:
Testing
The next step is to start testing by initiating a connection from the application servers via command line. If the application servers are Linux, install the MTR (My traceroute) binary to trace the traffic to the destination port without using Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and name resolution or deploy a test vm on the application subnet to test connectivity.
An example of the command would be the following: sudo mtr -T -n -P 1521 102.0.4. If the test is successful, you have implemented this solution correctly.
The second test is to install the Oracle components on the application servers to communicate with the database. Please review the Oracle Instant Client content Oracle Instant Client – Free tools and libraries for connecting to Oracle Database. Initiate a connection from the application server to the database. Ensure that the application can connect, read, and write to the database.
