After installing the most recent Updates on their Domain Controllers, some readers have reported in the comments that they experienced that the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) process on their Domain Controllers continually increases memory usage making their Domain Controllers become unresponsive and even automatically restart…
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS, which builds on the now deprecated SSL protocol) allow you to encrypt Microsoft SQL Server network communication, which is essential for your security. In this post, you'll learn how to enable TLS on your SQL Server.

Back in 2019, when the .dev top-level domain opened, we picked up vscode.dev and quickly parked it, pointing at our website code.visualstudio.com (or, if you are from the Boston area like me, we "pahked it"). Like a lot of people who buy a .dev domain, we had no idea what we were going to do with it. And we certainly didn't anticipate that it would end up being the fulfillment of a mission over a decade in the making.

So you’ve learned how to automate tasks with a PowerShell script.
That’s great! But now you’ve got a disorganized mess of scripts and modules with a hodgepodge of manual script executions, scheduled tasks, and more. It’s time to bring some order to the chaos and implement the automation orchestration engine known as PowerShell PSake.

On Tuesday, December 8th, Red Hat and CentOS announced the end of CentOS 8. To be specific, CentOS 8 will reach end of life at the end of 2021, 8 years ahead of schedule. To really understand what that means, and how we got here, it’s worth taking a trip down memory lane, and looking at how the history of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, and IBM are intertwined.

The traditional implementation of Workstation Pro relies on direct access to specific hardware features of the x86 microprocessor.
These features, generally called Intel VT or AMD-V, are also used by recent versions of Windows that support Hyper-V. Also, it is not possible to run traditional Workstation Pro on a Windows host with the Hyper-V capability enabled because some Windows features like the virtualization-based security (or VBS), are built on top of Hyper-V. Therefore, a VBS-enabled Windows host is also incompatible with traditional Workstation Pro.

We are thrilled to announce the Windows Package Manager preview!
If you’re already familiar with what a package manager is, feel free to skip this paragraph. If you’re still reading, you’re going to love this! A package manager is designed to help you save time and frustration. Essentially, it is a set of software tools that help you automate the process of getting software on your machine. You specify which apps you want installed, and it does the work of finding the latest version (or the exact one you specified) and installing it on your machine.
Just about every developer has wanted a native package manager in Windows. That day is finally here. You are going to be able to winget install your way to bliss. One of the best parts is that it is open source. I had to pinch myself when I was able to winget install terminal, and then winget install powershell, and then winget install powertoys. You get the idea, and If you do not see an app you use, just create a new manifest, and submit a pull request.
