Removing Guest VM From Domain Upon Deletion

We use System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager to deploy VMs to our Hyper-V servers. We are starting to use the VM templates to automate our system deployments. These templates are configured to use a randomly generated hostname, and join the company
AD Domain.
The creation and joining of the domain are working correctly, but upon deletion of the guest VM is it not removed from the domain. Does SCVMM or Hyper-V offer a way to automate the removal of guest VMs from the domain upon their deletion?

There is no way to handle the "domain un-join" or the deletion of domain computer accounts.
The answer is to use scripts that drive SCVMM; find the VM, delete the VM, delete the computer account (running under credentials that can do this action).
If you drink the system center cool-aid - then Operations Manager is your friend.
Again, SCVMM / Hyper-V do not do this for you.  They really don't perform the domain join for you.  The VM is presented with an unattend.xml with the domain and user information to perform the join.

  • Can I remove download folder from desktop without deleting

    My Downloads folder has gotten on my desktop and now to remove it I have to put it in the trash and lose all my downloads. Is there something else I can do? It is already on my dock and in finder, but once I put the download folder from the desktop in the trash it removes my downloads from finder and the dock.

    Open a Finder window and navigate to your User directory (it will typically have folders including Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures). Click the arrow to the left of Desktop and you should see the Downloads folder that is currently on your desktop. Drag that Downloads folder (or the Downloads folder on your desktop -- they are the same) to the blank space in the Finder window below the other folders -- i.e., below Documents, Movies, etc.)

  • Removing unchecked songs from ipod, without deleting the files from itunes?

    I want to remove a large amount of songs from my ipod, without deleting them from my itunes.
    I unchecked them all in itunes, but accidentally synced my ipod without selecting "Sync only checked songs." But now when I sync it--even with that box checked-- it leaves all the unchecked songs on my ipod.
    I can't seem to just go into the music on my ipod and delete them either.
    Is there anyway I can automatically remove all the unchecked songs from my ipod without deleting them from itunes?
    (I know I can manually choose what to sync, but it would be a massive headache to go through 30 gigs of music to select the 20 I want on there....)

    Hey Emily,
    So the *Sync only checked songs and videos* option is still ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab correct? If so, what options do you have ticked from under the Music tab for your iPod? If it is set to only sync *Select Artists, Playlists, and Genres* try changing that to sync your entire music library. Then make sure to hit the Apply button to update the changes to your iPod.
    Any luck there?

  • How can I delete the guest network from my airport. It was fine until the last update. It says my whole name's guest network which I do not want everyone seeing. There is no guest network setting in my airport utility.

    How can I delete the guest network from my airport. It was not showing up until I recently upgraded the airport. It now says my name's guest network and I don't like my name showing on the available network list! I am using a Verizon wireless modem with the wireless feature off.

    Open AirPort Utility, go to the Wireless tab and remove the check from the guest network check box.

  • IPhone would not let me delete individual song from library, tried deleting album to remove music from local storage, now certain songs from album do not show in iTunes match on iPhone only on computer

    Upon completion of matching and uploading my very large library of music (+15,000), I wanted to see how iTunes Match worked on my iPhone. I started it and selected the first album in the list to listen to. I let it play the entire album and then decided that I wanted to remove certain songs off of the iPhone's local storage. Tried to delete the individual songs and it would not let me. So I figured that I would go back and just delete the album. After selecting delete I went back to listen to one of the songs on the album and realized that it deleted several of the songs from the iTunes Match completely. When pulling iTunes up on my computer the songs are still there but does not give me the option to upload to iTunes Match.
    I have tried turning off Match on iPhone and back on (doesn't seem to do anything cause when turned off the iPhone still displays the music.)
    Then tried power cycling. (Still shows the music)
    Then I tried power cycling again and resyncing the phone and the iPhone still shows the music as it was on the phone.
    How do I get the music to be accessable on the iPhone again.. I have been messing with this for the course of 3 hours now.. and any help would be appreciated!!
    iPhone 3GS 8GB

    Actually Michael I know exactly how to delete.. The iPhone would not let me swipe to the left to delete the individual song, so I went to the album view and did it there.. The issue I am having is a bug because it removed 3/4 of the albums availablity off my iPhone.. You post proved no help because it is basic troubleshooting which, if you read my post, I have already done.. I did however figure out how to fix my issue on my own.. Basically I had to remove the album from my iTunes on my computer and upload it again to iTunes Match..

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

  • I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

    I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)
    Let me explain:
    In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
    Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
    (I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

    I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • The Best Way to Restore a DC if it is removed from Domain

    Good Day,
    I have 2 Windows Server 2008 R2 DC's in my network and I am trying to upgrade 1 of them to Server 2012 R2. The DC being replaced is also running Certificate Services. To do this I will need to remove AD from the DC as well as remove CA and remove it from
    the domain. I plan on backing up and restoring Active Directory/Certificate Services to the new Server 2012 box with the new server using the same name as the old DC.
    I am worried about this transition because if something goes wrong I will have to not only restore from backup I will have to restore the computer object in AD as well.
    Would the best strategy be:
    Backup AD using ntdsutil
    Uninstall AD and CA from DC01
    Remove DC01 from domain
    ** failure occurs **
    Restore DC01 computer object in AD on DC02 using ntdsutil authoritative restore
    Restore full OS on DC01 from tape backup
    The problem I have with this is all of the setting in Sites and Services will still be gone because of the removal of AD from DC01. I am also thinking about simply taking snapshots of the 2 DC's as they are both Virtual Servers in Hyper-V
    Another Strategy (Not approved of as snapshot is NOT a backup):
    Snapshot both DC01 and DC02
    Uninstall AD and CA from DC01
    Remove DC01 from domain
    ** failure occurs **
    Revert back to pre-removal snapshot of DC02
    Revert back to pre-removal snapshot of DC01
    Any help would be awesome!

    Hi,
    First at all,
    we don’t recommend to
    install CA on a DC. This is because if the DC corrupt and need to demote, we need
    to uninstall the CA role first. If you want to install the CA on a DC, please follow below steps:
    Clean install a new windows 2012 server and add it to domain as domain member.
    Promote this new windows 2012 R2 server to DC.

    Backing up CAPolicy.inf only if we install our CA by using it.
    Removing the CA role service from this server.
    Restoring the CA database and configuration on new server.

    5. After that,  make the old 2008 DC offline for a while. If everything things are working fine, you can then demote the windows 2008 DC.

  • How do I remove personal PC from old business domain to join Windows 7 home network?

    I brought my own laptop PC into a business I joined, and they registered the laptop to their domain and upgraded my Windows 7 Home to Ultimate. It was a temp assignment, now I've left the company fo another assignment, but will work from home. I've
    upgraded my family PCs to Windows 7 to create a homegroup network, but I can't join this homegroup with my laptop PC, as I'm prevented from doing so while the laptop is apparently still on the domain.  How can I remove my laptop from this domain, since
    it doesn't apply any more?

    Hi,
    First of all , I would like to advice you that you must need have an administrator’s permission account of this laptop. If so, You need to leave your laptop from the domain, then you need to change the Network Location to Home Network.

    Hi RadarCat16,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be frustrating when you are waiting for content to download to your iPhone from the iTunes Store. There are a few steps I would recommend in this situation. Please read over and follow the steps in the attached article.
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder.  When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong
