When creating a SQL Server maintenance plan, the owner of the plan is set to the user logged in when the plan is created. If another user makes changes, the owner does not change. Sometimes it may become necessary to change the owner (e.g. if the owner's account is being disabled or removed). You can manually change the owner through the SQL Server Agent's Job Activity Monitor but changing it there is only temporary: changes to a maintenance plan will reset the owner back to the original one. Changing the owner from within the maintenance plan is not possible through the GUI, but there is a way to make the change through T-SQL statements.

The following queries need to be run against the msd  ...

Using multi-factor authentication
The method mentioned below is deprecated and only works for non-MFA usage. If you are using multi-factor authentication, you will have to use the Exchange Online Remote PowerShell Module to connect to Exchange Online. Instructions can be found in this article.

Using PS remoting, the cmdlets for Exchange Online are imported through the internet, so first, you need to change the Powershell execution polic  ...

When using VMware vConverter Standalone 6.1 or newer, performing a P2V may fail very early in the process with the following error:

Error
FAILED: A file I/O error occurred while accessing ''.

You can work around the issue by enabling Use proxy mode on the Destination System page at the conversion wizard. As an alternative workaround, perform the P2V directly to a ESX host.

The reason for the error has to do with the ESX host's certificate not being trusted when performing a P2V to a vCenter.

If the Use proxy mode does not resolve your issue, please check whether the FQDN of the ESX host is resolvable on the machine running vConverter. Even when using strictly IP addresses, the FQDN still  ...
