WordPress Linux Web App Poor Performance

Posted on 3rd November 2022 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

Having to host, upgrade and manage WordPress is not really my main job. The various posts over the years will provide a small clue that other things take up most of my time and are my day job. Life was certainly easier when TechNet was still around as a dedicated team ran the MSDN and TechNet blog platforms and provided all of the infrastructure support. All I had to do was write the posts.

Most Popular Blog Posts For 2020

Posted on 31st December 2020 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

Well, good bye to 2020. That was some year to put it mildly…

Again, we see that on-premises content has been reduced and the overall focus is Office 365 and Hybrid. AD FS certificates keep on expiring and so do WAP, thus those articles remain popular as ever.

Back In Business

Posted on 17th March 2020 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

Well, finally we are back online! It's been a long sorry saga over the last couple of years for the MSDN and TechNet blog platforms. In some ways this is not a new phenomena for bloggers at Microsoft. Things have not always been easy. Initially the culture was not so open and allowed staff to share externally. Really, it was not all that long ago when FTEs were able to sign up and create a blog… Read the rest “Back In Business”

As previously noted, there is more of a demand for Office 365 and Exchange Online content. The steps to run a manual sync cycle was the most popular post.

So Long and Thanks For All the Fish {Possibly}

Posted on 5th June 2019 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

Earlier on this year you may have noticed a "not found" error page when visiting some of the older TechNet or MSDN blogs. If you were lucky, you would have received the graphic shown below. If not, then you would have had a nice and cryptic result code...

This was due to the blog team removing those blogs which were not moved over to the new TechCommunity. Only product group and team blogs were … Read the rest “So Long and Thanks For All the Fish {Possibly}”

Blog Code Examples Not Running Due to Smart Quotes

Posted on 31st March 2017 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

During an excellent trip to see a local customer *, it was noted that some of the script examples on the blog were not working as expected. The post we were looking at was the Check Exchange 2013 Schema and Object Information in AD. When the sample commands were copied, the Exchange administrator was not able to immediately use them, even after editing to suit their environment.

Most Popular Blog Posts For 2016

2016 is done, and that is a wrap! As in previous years, it’s always fun to take a look back and see what content was popular and compare trends to prior years…..

There is an increased requirement and demand for both Azure and Office 365 content. The steps to run a manual DirSync/AAD Sync/ AAD Connect surfaced to the #1 position. The RDC Manager post remains a perennial favourite. Exchange on-pre… Read the rest “Most Popular Blog Posts For 2016”
