Wifi Configuration won't save on a Windows 10 Enterprise PC having UWF filter enabled - powershell

I have a machine running on Windows 10 Enterprise edition. The OS has UWF writer protection ON. The network configuration has been applied as per the Microsoft document hosted on the following URL.
Common Write Filter Exclusions
The issue that I am facing is with regards to the WiFi configuration as the WiFi configuration won't persist after system restart. Please suggest if I am missing something here.

Visual Studio Code on Windows server 2008

Can I install Visual Studio Code on Windows server 2008 ?
I am a developer but I sent the information to my administrators and they told me that the setup file crashes after launched
I get seput file from hee https://code.visualstudio.com/download
procesor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6142 CPU # 2.60Ghz - 2.59 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
64-bit
virtual machine
1 CPU - 2 cores
Windows Server 2008
First time answering here so bare with my vintage reply formatting. (also pardon that i couldn't capture screen due to server is on a intranet that not accessible on this device causing a long reply)
Being a unfortunate fellow that need to work on legacy Systems and Application frequently, i happen to have a fresh 2008R2 server recently setup by my team's Server Admin with following specs:
processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5220 CPU # 2.20Ghz - 2.19 GHz ,
OS: Windows Server 2008R2 x64 ,
RAM: 8GB
The versions that is able to install was 1.70.3,which is the same version that is the last supporting versions for Windows 7 as well,if you happen to need to work on devices using that OS version.
although i'm uncertain whether it is a VM or not, i'd like to point out a few more things that your question did not cover but need to consider:
The installer version (System setup vs User Setup)
aside from the x64 |x86 | ARM installer differences, as you've not mentioned which versions of the build and which exact setup installer you sent to your admin, i've first replied which build version successfully installed on 2008R2, which as of writing the latest build was 1.73.0 and on run,it pop up a error message as follow regardless of System/User Setup:
This Program does not support the version of windows your computer is running.
in our current case that we want specific previous versions installer, VScode FAQ on previous versions have a URL lists that enables you to download a specific build version of your preferred setup. For my case (and also refer below to exactly why this one), i've go for System setup, and i know the aprox. supporting version was ~1.70.0, so i used the link as below and replace the {version} to start:
https://update.code.visualstudio.com/{version}/win32-x64/stable
Active Domain, Multiple user sessions etc.
Per VSCode requirements page stated,
VS Code does not support multiple simultaneous users using the software on the same machine, including shared virtual desktop
infrastructure machines or a pooled Windows/Linux Virtual Desktop host
pool.
as im not sure do you work solo or do have fellow colleagues to code on the server at the same time, you might need to reconsider to install using user or System setup.
if your intentions are to use exclusively on a specific AD account, then user setup should probably be good enough.
however, if the intentions was to setup say a shared Remote desktop connections on the VM that allows multiple RDC sessions simultaneously for coding,programming etc., so you intend to install a system setup to allow all users on said server to be able to use VScode, then you might run into the problem the VScode requirements stated it does not support.
in addition, as i was remote connected as administrator , when using a 1.70.2 user setup ,a different warning message as follow was thrown:
This user Installer is not meant to be run as Administrator. If you would like to install VS Code for all users in this system, download the system Installer instead.Are you sure you want to continue?
as the installer itself also checks with the operator on this matter, your admin may have skipped on the exact reasons why the install failed and just told you the installer crashed.
if you absolutely need VScode to run on the server but can't install for reasons, the last resort (aside from going for alternatives like notepad++) is to Setup a Portable Mode builds on your own workstation/devices first, then upload the package to the server and use it from there.
i wouldn't go into too much detail in that as this reply already span for a starwars trilogy length but keep in mind, version limitations still apply, and whatever add-ons you need, you need to download them first before bundle it into the package to upload and run on your server.
Anyone that is a System admin or infrastructure architects , do correct me on my novice understanding on Server settings etc. as although i'm primarily a programmer, i did end up touching a lot more things that i'm not specialized into over the few years of vendor career work so there bound to be incorrect/inaccurate concepts i spilled. cheers.

Dell iDRAC: the difference between "Embedded OS deployment tools" and "Remote OS deployment"

I'm considering getting a collection of Dell PowerEdge servers. Dell documentation is pretty poor (no surprise there) and I have trouble figuring out if I can go with iDRAC Basic or if I need iDRAC Express or Enterprise.
My need is to install Ubuntu Server (minimal install with SSH is enough). After install all I need is SSH and possibly a remote "reset" button. I can install the OS before taking the system to server room so I don't really need remote OS deployment tools. However, the server does not have a graphics adapter. Is it possible to install Ubuntu with just iDRAC Basic or do I need additional hardware?
#iwork4dell Remote OS deployment implies Virtual Console (like VNC) and Virtual Media (using a remote ISO like a local DVD). These are Enterprise license features. OS deployment tools are are the driver pack that is stored in flash on the server and made available during OS installation to support new hardware on older OSes.
The iDRAC is an integrated VGA adapter so all the Power Edge servers do have a video adapter in them unless you disable it in BIOS. If your willing to attach a keyboard and monitor to the server basic is all you need. You can also upgrade the iDRAC with a license key after purchase.
See http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20440743
and http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/idrac-spec-sheet.pdf
IDRAC is possible, just you can open gui of idrac and then launch on the online server. You can add the iso file on virtual server.

Installing windows OS on ISCSI sever or san storage using IPXE BOOT

Hi good people,
I'm trying to make a diskless PC client and install the operating system on a SAN Storage. As of now i'm using windows server 2012 R2 and it will serve as my DHCP/WDS and SAN server. So I found a video from yourtube on "Bjørn Jentoft" channel with the title "Hyper-V: Windows installation to ISCSI disk" I followed all the steps and configurations but it didn't quit work for me. But I keep repeating his video to look if I miss something on the configuration steps, but when I checked everything it appears that I didn't miss anything based on what he showed on the video tutorial. By the way he used HYPER-V on his tutorial and I'm using physical machines.
Thank you.

Integrate Lan drivers for windows server 2012 r2 for Intel NUC with MDT

I am trying to install windows 2012 r2 via MDT to NUC . However I am having problems with the network driver. Intel did not write support for windows server into the driver. I have found posts on the internet on how to modify the .inf file and to disable driver signing. But this is a manual process and defeats the object of mdt.
this link on how to hack manually
http://foxdeploy.com/2013/09/12/hacking-an-intel-network-card-to-work-on-server-2012-r2/
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure which version of the NUC you're using, but I'm running the D54250WYK in Windows Server 2012 R2 flawlessly:
Right click the network card in Device Manager and go to "Update Driver"
Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
Select "Intel" under manufacturer and "Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I218-LM" from the list. (If the driver isn't in the list, try downloading and installing the latest Windows 8.1 x64 NUC network drivers.
Looking at the spec sheets, I'm guessing the I218-V (on the NUC) and I218-LM are the exact same hardware with a different device ID. The I218-V's SKU is specifically to disable Windows Server support.
Note: You can probably follow the same instructions if your NUC has the I217-V Network Adapter (I217-V installed as I217-LM) or some other integrated network adapter following the same naming schema.
I installed windows 10 on my NUC to see what drivers were used then selected them on windows 2012 r2 and it worked just fine. In my case the NUC7i7BNH uses the Intel Ethernet Connection (4) I219-V

Windows Phone 8 Emulator- Deployment Error

I am using Visual Studio 2012 in Windows 8. I have set up Windows Phone 8 sdk and everything was working fine until I made some changes to network settings. First I was unable to connect to internet through the emulator. But I managed to set up internet connectivity by sharing the physical connection with my USB modem. However now I'm having problems in launching the emulator which has been working absolutely fine before. When I run the emulator separately (via Hyper-V manager) everything is okay and I can connect to internet but the problem is when I launch the emulator from Visual Studio 2012.
A related question can be found here [1] but the answer is not what I am looking for. Is there a way to fix this issue without running the emulator on a virtual machine?
Thanks
1 Windows Phone 8 Emulator Deployment Issue with Internet
When I ran into this it was caused by my anti-virus software. Specifically, the 'AVG network filter driver' was enabled for the Hyper-V virtual adapter. Unchecking this option fixed the problem for me.
Interference from other virtualization or networking software and drivers outlines specifically which items should be checked for the virtual adapter.
The debugger runs over a TCP/IP connection so if you've changed the HyperV network settings it's possible you've isolated the VM from the host so it cannot open a connection. Try and reset the connection back to it was before you changed it to get the Internet working and this should re-store your debugger.
Edit the .VMX file in your virtual machine folder
vhv.enable = "TRUE"
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = “FALSE”
and save it.
A little late, but I had to face the same problem and found this solution (all the other solutions didn't work for me)
1.go to network and sharing center
2.go to change adapter setting
3.go to v Ethernet (internal Ethernet port windows phone emulator internal switch)
4.right click it and enable it(if already enabled then disable and enable it again).
