If you need to delegate Azure Bastion to a user without assigning too many rights, here are some tips for you:

• User needs to have Virtual Machine login or Virtual Machine Administrator Login on VM or Resource Group where the VM is located
• Read rights are needed on Bastion Resource Group
• Make sure to wait 5-10 mins after applying settings

By default, if you send a mail on behalf of a Shared Mailbox, the sent item will be saved in the user’s primary mailbox and not the shared mailbox. If you want to change it to expected behaviour, i.e. save the items in the Shared Mailbox, execute following command. This works in Exchange Online and Exchange OnPrem.

set-mailbox -MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled $True

set-mailbox -MessageCopyForSendOnBehalfEnabled $True

By default on an on prem Exchange 2013/2016/2019 environment, internal server names are displayed in the message header analyzer, which you would not want to expose externally.

This is how it would look like:

To remove that information, execute this command in the Exchange Powershell. Make sure you have the right Send Connector Name.

Get-SendConnector “Internet” | Remove-ADPermission -User “NT Authority\ANONYMOUS LOGON” -ExtendedRights ms-Exch-Send-Headers-Routing

And now this is how it looks like:

As a normal user without admin rights, you can theoretically kill the Windows Guest OS (for example if you are connected through Citrix or Remote Desktop Services) by safely removing the VMXNET3 adapter on the bottom right. This is very bad and is apparently “by design”.

To hide the icon proceed as folow:

With the VM powered off, click Edit Settings > Options > General and configuration parameters. Add row and then type devices.hotplug. As a value insert FALSE. You can then power on your machine.

Having performance problems when deleting one single file or folder? File Explorer takes 2-3 seconds to “calculate” something before deleting? Deleting automatic destinations might help you out. I had a case where this file was 4MB big, which is a lot for only text/paths.

Delete everything under:

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

The big file in question is f01b4d95cf55d32a.automaticDestinations-ms. You might want to delete this file only. But I deleted everything.
