When going to Settings -> Accounts -> Access work or school, og push the “connect” buttom. I could just see that the popup, asking for my mail address, just popup, but then disapear again very quick.
Starting a powershell with administrative rights, and type in the command
If you have vmware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-v, you can expand a disk, from the hypervisor console, very simple. But afterwards the partition the servers is not expand. It is always a good idea to create a Snapshot/checkpoint before. Just remember, that the disc can’t be expanded in Hyper-v when there are a checkpoint. So first expand the disk in Hyper-v and then create a snapshot.
To do this you first need to rescan the disk for change
echo "1" > /sys/class/block/sda/device/rescan
Replace sda with the disk name. Then you can run fdisk -l /dev/sda, to see the disk information, if you got an error on the top like in the screenshot below
Then you need to repair the disk partition table.
parted -l
After you have check the partition table, you need to delete the old partition, and recreate it
This is done by type fdisk /dev/sda
In the fdisk, you type d to delete, choice the partition, in the example is two. (Beaware that this guide can only be used to expand the last partition on the disk, if you have multiple) Then you type n to create a new one, and just goes for the default once settings. In the end type N to not remove the signature.
Then you w to save the settings
Then we just have to resize the ext4 information on the disk, this is done by the command resize2fs
Afterwards you can check that the server have been expand by the command df -h
You can use this command to see the status of the Raid Controller and Raidset.
storcli /c0 show

Here you can see under PD List, that drive 252:3 14 stand as UGood. Thats the new disk i have put into the server, and have been detected by the raidset.
To include this disk into the array that you see under VD List, you need to do this
This will add the disk to the raidset. This can takes hours and even days, if you have a big raidset. You can check the status with this command:
storcli /c0/v0 show migrate
Controller = 0
Status = Success
Description = None
VD Operation Status :
===================

------------------------------------------------------------
0 Reconstruction 2 In progress 9 Hours 52 Minutes
------------------------------------------------------------
DG=Arrays | Slot=Drive Bay No|VD=Virtual Drive/Logical Drive|EID=Enclosure Device ID
Here you can see that it will take 9 hours and 52 minutes to complete the Reconstruction
When it done with the reconstuction, the command from before will output this:
VD Operation Status :
===================
-----------------------------------------------------------
VD Operation Progress% Status Estimated Time Left
-----------------------------------------------------------
0 Migrate - Not in progress -
-----------------------------------------------------------
And then you can check the array with the command from the top of this guide
storcli /c0 show
After this you need to change the partition table, and then expand the volume.
If you ever need to see the status of a running jobs, this TSQL can be very helpfull
SELECT sj.name

WHERE sja.start_execution_date IS NOT NULL
AND sja.stop_execution_date IS NULL
If you wan to know the sync status of a always On availability group database replication, this command can be used:

If you ever have installed a new Exchange server in an Active Directory orgainisation that allready have an Exchange server (That’s not so often anymore), you may have discovered that users get Certificate warning in Outlook, unto you have changed the URL’s to match the certificates.
It copy the settings of all IIS url’s to the new Exchange server, when it found it in Active Directory. So run this script before the start of the installation, and you will not receive the certificate warnings after the installation.
