The first option that I like to use is the modern SharePoint custom list. Not only you can build your form quickly by creating new columns and metadata, but you also get all the bells and whistles, courtesy of SharePoint list. You get versioning, views, ability to sort and filter. Moreover, most checklists contain simple YES/NO checkboxes. The modern interface of a custom list allows for a very cools way to fill in this info.
Another option to build a checklist is to use a Task list web part. Used mostly for project scheduling, you can also use it to create checklists. Also, you can enable email notifications and create subtasks as well. I cover all these features in great detail in this post.
Windows Server Build Checklist Template
Another option that is similar to the one above, but with a slight variation, is to use the Planner checklist option. In the option above we used each task in Planner as a single checklist item/task. This option is different. Each task within Planner allows you to build a checklist inside of a task.
Another option is to track checklist via OneNote. Besides being a superb note-taking application, OneNote also allows you to build cool-looking checklists as well that users can check off with a click of a mouse. This is done using To Do Tag functionality.
This is a pro tip based on our webinar for our Baton Rouge IT support healthcare customers, Using Office 365 Forms for physician offices. Microsoft Forms is a web-based application within the Office 365 suite that allows users to build quick checklists, forms, polls, and quizzes.
Everyone knows that an out-of-the-box Windows server may not have all the necessary security measures in place to go right into production, although Microsoft has been improving the default configuration in every server version. UpGuard presents this ten step checklist to ensure that your Windows servers have been sufficiently hardened against most cyber attacks.
This general security checklist can serve as a starting point for organizations to improve the security of their servers and environment. As the technology behind cyber security is always evolving, it is important to regularly maintain and upgrade their security systems.
With both VMware vSphere and vCenter and Citrix XenServer and XenCenter installed and basic configuration completed, the next step is to create a Windows Server 2019 master image. After we build the Server 2019 master, we can start building the Microsoft infrastructure servers. For this article, I used Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition.
Add detailed server information to the application discovery template (see mobilize-application-questionnaire.xlsx in the attachment for this pattern). This template includes all the application-related security, infrastructure, operating system, and networking details.
Identify server groups such as web servers or application servers, and add this information to the application discovery template. Select the tier of the application (web, application, database) that each server should belong to.
Ask the network team to get the inbound/outbound traffic rules for the source and destination servers. The network team should also add existing firewall rules, export these to a security group format, and add existing load balancers to the application discovery template.
In this article, we will show how to update (install) new GPO administrative templates (admx) in the Active Directory domain when upgrading a Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016/2019 build on your devices. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle []).push();
Then open the Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc), create a new GPO, and make sure that it has the policy settings from the new Windows 10 build. If you want a GPO with new settings to be applied to the specific Windows 10 builds only, you can use the GPO WMI filters.
Configure the policy, assign it to clients, update the GPO settings on them and make sure that the new settings have been applied.
Installing a New Administrative Template in an Active Directory DomainIn the same way, new administrative templates are installed. For example, you are going to use GPO to manage Edge Chromium settings on user computers. There are no administrative templates for Edge Chromium both in Windows 10 2004 and in 20H2. You will have to download Edge Chromium policy files manually and copy the admx files to the PolicyDefinitions directory on your domain controller.
Techs can apply shared templates to a ticket. If the ticket requires a tech to complete a set of tasks that are not included in your checklist templates, you can manually add a checklist in a ticket. Any changes to a template (such as editing the template, selecting an item, or deselecting an item) are recorded in the ticket history.
When you create a new Web Help Desk ticket, the ticket may include several child tickets that require techs from HR, Facilities, and other areas of your organization to complete service requests. For example, the ticket may include a request type called New Hire that automatically generates child tickets for setting up a workspace, computer systems, and cube for the new employee. To ensure that all tasks are completed, you can create a checklist template that includes a checklist items for each service request and apply the ticket to the parent request type.
A checklist template can include up to 30 required or not-required checklist items. After you create the checklist template, assign the template to a request type. When a new ticket is created with the targeted request type, the checklist items are pulled from the template and added to the ticket. This process helps you ensure that all tasks associated with the parent ticket (such as child tickets) are completed by the assigned techs.
When you create a checklist template, you can assign the template to a request type when you create the template. If you skipped this procedure, you can assign a template to a request type at any time.
The Windows OS Optimization Tool for VMware Horizon (OSOT) helps optimize Windows 10/11 and Windows Server 2019/2022 systems for use as VDI or RDSH server VMs. OSOT includes customizable templates to activate or deactivate Windows system services and features, according to VMware recommendations and best practices, across multiple systems. Because most Windows system services are enabled by default, OSOT can be used to easily deactivate unnecessary services and features to improve performance. For more information on the Windows OS Optimization Tool for VMware Horizon, see Optimizing Images for Horizon.

Checklists can comprise templates or automated scripts, patch information, Extensible Markup Language (XML) files, and other procedures. Checklists are intended to be tailored by each organization to meet its particular security and operational requirements. Typically, checklists are created by IT vendors for their own products; however, checklists are also created by other organizations, such as academia, consortia, and government agencies. The use of well-written, standardized checklists can markedly reduce the vulnerability exposure of IT products. Checklists can be particularly helpful to small organizations and to individuals with limited resources for securing their systems.
AWS WAF Partners help customers develop, build, and integrate a secure infrastructure based upon specific needs and industry regulations. The scalability of having AWS WAF enables AWS customers to focus on more security and compliance requirements and less on the high availability of additional servers in their Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
While a restaurant may have a custodian or clean staff who cleans at the end of the day, many cleaning tasks need to be done throughout the day to ensure a tidy and safe dining atmosphere. It's important to build small cleaning tasks into the duties of a server so that the restaurant stays neat throughout a busy day of service.
Assign servers to stations and assign side duties to stations, so servers know what to do in addition to their core responsibilities. Don't forget to assign opening and closing duties. You can find examples of these throughout this article and in our server opening and closing checklist.
Use a task management tool, like 7tasks, to create a shift checklist based on shift time and station. Download 7shifts' free restaurant server checklist for inspiration and customize it with tasks that are unique to your restaurant.
Windows Server Hardening Security Checklist (Windows 2016 / 2019 / 2022). In this blog, we will talk about server hardening. Furthermore we will also prepare a checklist subjecting area that require protecting the server against the most common exploits.
Cyber attackers always try to access the data and resources held on the servers. Hence, to protect it in real time, we have penned down a few controls and processes one must always implement for server security. Our general security checklist will help pinpoint vulnerabilities and errors, increase security awareness and improve the security of your servers.
My last post has not appeared yet but I found the issue!From this page: -us/windows/security/identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-deployment-issuesSection: Identifying Server 2019 Key Trust Authentication IssueInfo: The other indicator of this failure case can be identified using network traces. If network traces are captured for a key trust sign-in event, the traces will show kerberos failing with the error KDC_ERR_CLIENT_NAME_MISMATCH.Solution: This issue was fixed in Windows Server 2019, build 17763.316 (KB4487044). Upgrade all Windows Server 2019 domain controllers to Windows Server 2019, build 17763.316 or newer to resolve this behavior.Note: My Server 2019 was reporting as 1809 build 17763.107 even though it reported as having completed all available Windows Updates. I sourced KB5005568 (2021-09 CU) from =KB5005568 and installed it manually.My server now reports Version 1809 build 17763.2183.Pretty happy to find that one.Cheers 2ff7e9595c
