Reset Terminal license on Windows Server OS

While Windows installed with Terminal Server role it does work without License for 120 Days on trail license, where within 120 days if the License server is not Connected the server will stop accepting connection with below error and event ID

error no licence

EventID: 1128
Source: TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager


The RD Licensing grace period has expired and the service has not registered with a license server with installed licenses. A RD Licensing server is required for continuous operation. A Remote Desktop Session Host server can operate without a license server for 120 days after initial start up.

The official solution is to Activate the RDS/TS CAL License server and point the Server to License server with User/Device License and will be resolve the problem

But if you want to reset the timer and again avail 120 days grace time  here is the solution

The solution was to delete the REG_BINARY in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM\GracePeriod
Only leaving the default.
regkey

Note: you must take ownership and give admin users full control to be able to delete this key.

After a reboot the server should be working again for another 120 Days

Enable guest network in unify ap without vlan

Within the Unifi controller software, go to Settings -> Wireless Networks.  Create the SSID you want to be the guest network, leave security open, and check the box labeled Guest Policy.  Don't setup any VLAN configuration because you do not need it.
Once you have done that, go to Settings -> Guest Control.  You do not need to use the guest portal option.  In the Access Control area, add the subnets you do not want guest wifi clients touching in the Restricted Subnets area.  
Once you have completed these steps, you have just created a guest wifi that users can connect to without the need to authenticate, and Unifi has restricted clients on that wifi network from being able to touch your production network...all without VLANs.
And the clients on the guest network would get an ip from your DHCP server as you would expect, and you can then filter the web traffic by content as you desire.

And one other thing, you need to allow dhcp Ip address on guest wifi so that guest client can get ip from dhcp, within Settings -> Guest Control you can add your entire subnet (i.e. 192.168.0.0/24) under Restricted Subnets and then add an allowed subnet for just your dhcp server (i.e. 192.168.1.5/32).


Result: - User can get Ip from dhcp but will not be able to ping any devices into the network.

Convert Windows Evaluation Version To Standard or Full Version

Sometimes we activated trial versions or evaluation copy of windows in order to test the windows or its functionality. But when we get into production, we cant really use the evaluation copy. In order to save our time and resource we can convert the evaluation copy to full version of windows without formatting the windows in below 2 steps.




Step -1.

Type Below command to get the details to which you can upgrade


DISM /online /Get-TargetEditions

here you will get Edition that can be upgraded to

Step -2. 

Type another command to change the edition from evalution to full

DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX­X /AcceptEula
Where (xxxx) will be your product key of the full version. This will restart the server.





And when the server is restarted you will get the full version of windows.
