How to find latest Microsoft Knowledge Base articles for Windows 8 and Server 2012

Wed, 03 Oct 2012 23:00:36 +0000

A great resource I am using for years already to proactively read through the Microsoft KB’s is kbupdate.info a monitoring system that scans the entire Microsoft Knowledge Base every night. Now that Windows 8 and Server 2012 are out and Microsoft starts publishing KBs for it, you can track them easily via kbupdate.info

Below just some random KB’s I found interesting to know about.

Remote Group Policy updates are visible to users
ADM files are not present in SYSVOL in the GPMC Infrastructure Status option
Unpredictable behavior if you migrate a roaming user profile from Windows 8 to Windows 7
You can only log on as “Other user” when the “Do not display last user name” Group Policy setting is enabled in Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012
Group Policy preparation is not performed when you automatically prepare an existing domain for Windows Server 2012

Most companies put storage limits on their users mailboxes. To avoid full mailboxes, some periodic housekeeping is required. This can be done by either using the archiving function or by deleting content manually.

To identify calendar entries with large attachments, select your calendar, select View, then Current View, then Outlook Data files. Then click on the “size” column to sort the calendar entries by size.

You should now see the calendar entries sorted by its size and start deleting those items that are not needed anymore.
