July 31, 2023 Leave a comment

I am working on an Exchange migration project currently, and setting up some things in a lab. As part of that I am converting what was a Modern Hybrid setup with the Hybrid Agent, to a Classic Hybrid, using connectors and what not.

I was trying to use New-FederationTrust setup a Federation trust and received the following:

Unable to access the Federation Metadata document from the federation partner. Detailed information “The remote server returned an error: (426) Upgrade Required.”

July 6, 2023 Leave a comment

So, you want to automate the creation of Microsoft Teams Call Queues. You want to use Shared Voicemail and the target is a Unified Group. But wait, what’s this, invalid overflow action target?

Quick Fix: Office 2019 Volume License ODT Error

March 4, 2022 Leave a comment

Spent too long troubleshooting this, because I, like most men, do not read the manual.

Trying to deploy Office 2019 Standard Volume License using the ODT. Using a config file I created at config.office.com. After running the setup.exe /configure configure.xml command you receive an error saying unable to download a required file or similar.

Solution – remove en-GB from your list of languages.

en-GB is only supported in builds newer than 2108 and Office 2019 is currently on build 1808.

It says it here, I just didn’t think to check because I was using the Config tool to build the file.

Lesson learned.

I never thought i’d be writing about SBS 2011 again, but here she is, back from the dead.

I’m working on a migration SBS 2011 > 2019 and as per my guide i was trying to get a system state backup of the source server before making any changes. Well, the SBS had other ideas.

Running the command

wbadmin start systemstate backup -backuptarget:g:

Would result in an error ‘parameter incorrect’ after a few minutes.
