Windows 10 VPN before log in for domain users
How to create a VPN connection before logging in to Windows 10 I just thought I’d post a quick help guide for those struggling with remote sites that have no site-to-site VPN.

Solved – Dell PowerEdge R430 and installing Windows 2016 from USB
Today I got a delivery of a new Dell PowerEdge R430 and needed to install Windows 2016 Standard on it.

The ISO was 5.47 Gb so would not burn to a standard DVD and I needed to deliver this server to my client the following day.
