Create D365 FO (Dynamics 365 Finance & Operation) env from LCS with out sample data

LCS is a great portal to spin D365 FO for Demo and testdev sites.
while spinning by default the demo data will be loaded, which is great.
but if you do not need demo data, then there is a way not to load the demo data from the beginning as once env created hard to clean up the demo data.


while creating the env, go to advanced setting, as below.



select None in customize SQL Database Configuration.

with this you can ignore demo data in your demo/devtest env.

azure an authentication error has occurred. the function requested is not supported RDP

come across this error message while doing RDP


"azure an authentication error has occurred. the function requested is not supported RDP with IP"

there is an MS article on this, you can do this on client machine and also do this on server.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4093492/credssp-updates-for-cve-2018-0886-march-13-2018


this is mainly for "Credential Security Support Provider protocol (CredSSP) is an authentication provider that processes authentication requests for other applications."


its better to settle this in server by applying the patches.


But if you have an environment where all VMs are affected, you have no choice than to work on a client machine and then connect to one server and then apply the patch in that server and rest of the servers.

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. rds server 2012 r2 setup

while setting up RDS in windows 2012 R2, I got below error
"Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection."


I have noticed, I have logged in as domain admin, not sure why that was behaving like that.
when I added another account and added that account as local admin and then all ok.


hope this will help someone.

Azure VPN (Point-to-site) connected, no internet connection

while I was setting up azure VPN, I did it. but noticed while connecting to Azure VPN, my internet in browsers stopped working in my office N/W. but both worked in my home N/W.


the issue I found is the client address space that I am using in the Gateway.
I was using 10.8.0.0/24. if I use 192.168.0.0/24, I was able to connect to internet while VPN connected.


here is how you change. just login to new portal and change as highlighted. difficult to do in old portal. can use script though.
