If you are annoyed by the Notification Manager for Adobe Creative Cloud and/or are using VDI and want to get rid of it, use this PS one-liner:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers *AdobeNotificationClient* | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers

With PowerCLI it is very easy to get a list of provisioned storage for a list of VMs:

Get-VM | Select-Object Name,@{n="ProvisionedGB"; e={(Get-HardDisk -VM $_ | Measure-Object -Sum CapacityGB).Sum}}

You can combine this with other cmdlets to limit the search to a specific folder, datastore, etc...

To get a complete sum of all the VMs, add | Measure-Object -Sum ProvisionedGB at the end.

When configuring a provisioning link (e.g. for 3CX) in DHCP server on a Draytek firewall, and are using certain phones (particular Snom), you may run into the issue where the firewall is complaining about illegal characters when attempting to add the link through the web interface.

The solution is to configure the option through the CLI. Log in using either telnet or SSH (whichever is enabled), and type:

srv dhcp option -e 1 -i 1 -c 66 -v http://192.168.1.10:5000/provisioning/ajehdukzidueh/cfg{mac}

Take particular care to the -i option, which defines the LAN subnet to be used: in this case, 1 references LAN 1 on the Draytek.
