Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 2203+ grey screen/ConnectionFailure in Eventviewer

March 19, 2023 by AJNI No Comments

Having grey screen issues with CVAD 2203+ and higher on Windows Server 2022 Terminal server? I had this issue occurring on Citrix 2212. Try running this script. It might help you out. Do a VM backup or snapshot before running the script, just to be sure.

$iddHwId = “VEN_5853&DEV_1003”
$pnpDispDevPath = “HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\SWD\RemoteDisplayEnum”

try
{
    $iddDevEntries = Get-ChildItem -Path $pnpDispDevPath -ErrorAction Stop| Where-Object Name -Match $iddHwId
}
catch
{
    Write-Output “Failed to query remote ID device entries”
    Write-Output $_
    return
}

if ($iddDevEntries.Count -eq 0)
{
     Write-Output “No remote ID device entries found.”
     return
}

$iddDevEntries | ForEach-Object {
    
    $devName = ($_.Name -Split “\\”)[-1]
    
    try
    {
        Remove-ItemProperty -Path $_.PsPath * -ErrorAction Stop
        Write-Output “Cleared values for $devName”
    }
    catch
    {
        Write-Output “Failed to clear values for $devName”
        Write-Output $_
    }
}

This saved my day:

Have you already heard of ChatGPT, AI and Language Models?

March 6, 2023 by AJNI No Comments

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence language model that has been trained on a massive dataset of written text, allowing it to generate human-like responses to a wide range of queries and questions. As part of the OpenAI project, ChatGPT is one of the most sophisticated AI language models available today, capable of understanding and processing natural language input in a way that was once considered impossible.

The development of ChatGPT and other AI language models like it has been driven by a desire to create machines that can more effectively communicate with humans. With the ability to understand and generate language, these models have the potential to transform many industries, including customer service, education, and healthcare. By enabling machines to understand and respond to human language, we can create more efficient and personalized interactions between humans and machines.

One of the key benefits of AI language models like ChatGPT is their ability to learn from vast amounts of data. By analyzing large amounts of text, these models can identify patterns and relationships within language, allowing them to generate responses that are both accurate and contextually appropriate. This has significant implications for areas such as natural language processing, machine translation, and text analysis.

However, the development of AI language models like ChatGPT also raises important ethical considerations. As these models become more sophisticated, there is a risk that they could be used to create convincing fake news or other forms of disinformation. Additionally, there are concerns that these models could be used to create biased or discriminatory responses, particularly if they are trained on data that reflects societal biases.

Ultimately, the development of ChatGPT and other AI language models is a significant step forward in our ability to communicate with machines. While there are certainly challenges and risks associated with this technology, the potential benefits are vast, and it is likely that AI language models will play an increasingly important role in our lives in the years to come.

Outdated Before Its Time: The Disadvantages of the Microsoft Cloud ecosystem

March 1, 2023 by AJNI No Comments

Microsoft’s decision to stop supporting Microsoft 365 services on Office 2016/2019 after October 2023 (which is this year) can be viewed as a cynical attempt to encourage users to upgrade to newer versions of Office. This can be seen as a ploy to generate more revenue for the company, rather than a genuine concern for its users.

Furthermore, the frequent updates and changes to Microsoft’s productivity tools can be overwhelming for some users. The constant need to adapt to new features and interfaces can lead to frustration and reduced productivity. Users may feel like they are always playing catch-up and never have the opportunity to fully master their tools before they are outdated.

Moreover, the cost of upgrading to a newer version of Office can be prohibitive for some individuals and businesses. For smaller organizations, the cost of upgrading may be a significant burden. This can create an uneven playing field, where only those with the financial resources to upgrade can fully take advantage of the latest productivity tools.

In conclusion, while the announcement that Microsoft 365 services are supported on “modern” apps may appear positive at first glance, the fact that Office 2019 is considered “old” is a cause for outrage. The frequent updates and changes to Microsoft’s productivity tools can be overwhelming, and the cost of upgrading can be prohibitive for some users. These factors can create an uneven playing field and may cause frustration for end users and solutions providers who cannot keep up with the pace of technological advancements.

My two cents: Microsoft is greedy and wants to maximize profit while showing the middle finger to customers and solution providers.

Outlook 2016/2019/365 Problems connecting to Exchange Online mailbox

January 3, 2023 by AJNI No Comments

One or a few users are not able to connect to their mailbox using the newest Outlook version there is? Well the issue might be TLS 1.2 not being active on the user’s side.

Just set this registry key and you should be good to go:

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

DWORD SecureProtocols 00000A80

HEX A80 or decimal 2688 enables TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, while decimal 640 only enables TLS 1.0 and 1.1.

Windows Server 2019/2022 Freezing/Very Laggy Taskbar

December 27, 2022 by AJNI 4 Comments

Having odd issues with the task bar/random task bar freezing on Windows Server 2022 RDS? Or explorer.exe using around 10% of the CPU for every user that is logged in? This might save your day. This issue occurs if you have MS Teams installed on the RDS.

First of all, export the registry path HKLM\SYSTEM\Software\Microsoft\TIP\TestResults\27641370 and look at the file size. If it is around 40MB in size, then you have the same issue.

To resolve the issue, delete the key and disable the TabletInputService service (Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service). Afterwards, take ownership of C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ink\TabTip32.exe and C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\TabTip.exe and rename both executables into TabTip32.exe.orig/TabTip.exe.orig.

After that, reboot your server.
