The next-generation Volkswagen Jetta will debut in January 2018 at NAIAS in Detroit, but you’ll have to wait a bit more to see the GLI version our spies have just spotted roaming the streets. You can easily tell this is the hotter derivative of the compact sedan just by looking at the red brake calipers and dual exhaust tips at the back. The fact that it rides lower on bigger wheels is also a dead giveaway that we’re dealing with the sportier derivative.

In IIS 10.0, we introduced the IISAdministration PowerShell module which was a new way to manage IIS. This module included numerous improvements over the existing WebAdministration cmdlets
Unfortunately, folks who hadn’t updated to Windows Server 2016 weren’t able to take advantage of the new management cmdlets until now. I’m pleased to announce that we’ve now released this module to the PowerShell Gallery and is available for use on Windows Server 2012 and above.

If you notice that your WordPress hosting provider is not running PHP 7, but has it available to its users, you may want to consider making a WordPress PHP version change so you can benefit from all of PHP 7’s features. However, in order to avoid breaking your site, you should make sure all of your site’s themes and plugins are compatible. 
To check for WordPress PHP version compatibility, you can use another simple plugin called PHP Compatibility Checker.

The WordPress core uses .htaccess for two things: Permalinks and Multisite. This means that .htaccess is only required if you have enabled either of these features. Otherwise, .htaccess is entirely optional for default WordPress installations. Beyond the WP core, many plugins also use the .htaccess file for custom directives involving rewrites, redirects, custom headers, file compression, and much more. In many cases, such plugins add their .htaccess rules to your .htaccess file automatically, behind the scenes. 
So even if you haven’t enabled Permalinks or Multisite, your site may be using .htaccess rules added by WordPress plugins for various types of functionality. That’s one of the cool things about .htaccess: it can be configured and customized to improve your site’s performance, security, and usability. To help you get started, this tutorial provides a collection of .htaccess techniques that are useful for any WordPress-powered site. Combined into a blank .htaccess file, these techniques serve as a great starting point for creating your own custom .htaccess file for WordPress.

Let’s say that you have a GPO that is scoped to a specific security group. If you add a computer to this security group, you would normally need to restart in order for the computer to see that it is now a member of this group. To bypass this, you can delete the system’s Kerberos ticket and run GPUpdate. The computer will magically see its new group membership without a restart.
