Azure Information Protection Client Dogfood Tool

[Adrian Caspersz]

<rant>

I found this advertised as a product in WSUS.

Are they eating their own dogfood - or are the customers?

I noticed this new welcome message the other day ...

"We're happy that you are here"

... and remember an old slogan

"Where do you want to go today?"

Er, Home ...

Well, anywhere away from

A similar issue exists in Server 2016, I'm chasing down and can't find a
reason whey this hasn't been quashed ...

maybe, as post #8 says, "you might consider simply living with the error
message; it appears to have no negative consequences"

Is it causing you a problem? From what I've read of the link you gave,
it's just one of many errors that Windows (in fact, any OS) throws in
normal day-to-day operation without any deleterious effect.

Hi Mike,

Just my delirious style of OCD in trying to master a clean system. You
are right, I routinely ignore other things but found this one came of
interest since it's visible in the Administrative Events view, whereas
others are sanely buried...

I've also just been through a Server 2016 (evaluation) 'Best Practices
Analyser' session also with an aim to get configured things in ship
shape, and think that Microsoft are now giving recommendations on how
best to break their technology - not fix it.

For instance, an example BPA recommendation tells me 'SMB service should
be set to on demand'. So I do that, restart and I receive the subsequent
recommendation 'SMB service should be running'.

Digging further, I think BPA recommendations have been left set as
baked-in for Server 2008 SMB 2.0 practices, maybe don't apply for SMB 3.0

Why am I chasing jobs in this? :-|

I wish you luck with that, especially now that M$ has control of updates
in Win10. Presumably Swerver 2016 does/will also auto-update, a
sysadmin's nightmare if ever there was one.

:)

thou canst break something which is already broken.

Lovely. Consistency in inconsistencies.

Presumably you have the hair shirt and flail ready and packed?

Surely there are special rules for companies with professional admins?
I mean, you can understand MS taking control of maintenance at home,
where PCs are all owned and run by muppets like us ...

You've obviously come across a higher class of admin than I have. :)
