Fix iPhone battery problem
A couple of days ago my iPhone 6s suddenly started loosing power. Rapidly it went from 80% to 1% (but 1% could last very long time).
It was fast to charge up, but again it rapidly lost power and went to 1%.
Since I could use the phone for a long time when it stated 1% I didn't think it was the battery that was the problem.
I did some (a lot) search and found this advice that could help, and it was much easier than resetting the phone and much cheaper than a new battery.
The article I found, was on a Danish part of "ON X" and it was started in 2012 but has comments right up till now from greatfull readers that has been saved by the tip:
Shutdown the iPhone
Remove SIM card
Power On iPhone and accept that there are no sim card inserted
Shutdown the iPhone
Insert SIM card
Power On iPhone
And - voila - problem is gone (ok, some had do to do it twice)

CCMexec stops right after it has been started
I my environment, I suddenly had a lot of inactive clients. I thought that it was strange, so I dived into the issue.
Looking at a client, I found that the ccmexec service wasn't running.
I started the ccmexec service, but it stopped immediately (later I found that, on other client the service stopped after 5 minutes - they would start a repair, and then fail and stop).
Then I looked into the ccmexec.log and found this:
Service settings instance is missing from WMI.
I tried a repair, but that didn't solve the problem.
Taking a deeper look into the log told me that the client had a problem with the ccm part of wmi.
I then tried to do a client push with the uninstall option checked - and now... Happy client again.
Looking at all my inactive clients - suddenly 10-15% og my environment - it seemed like this issue happened during the upgrade to 1602.

WSUS server broken after a windows update
Came to office this morning to see this in my ConfigMgr console:
Oh... what a MONDAY morning...
A check in the eventlog shows that some updates were installed during the weekend.
So - what now ? remove updates or.... ask google.
Ahh - I was not alone with this problem.
First, I ended up here: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/wsus/2016/04/22/what-you-need-to-know-about-kb3148812-part-two/
Well, I didn't install KB3148812, so this could not be my problem, but an update on the page pointed me to this site: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/wsus/2016/05/05/the-long-term-fix-for-kb3148812-issues/
And from here, I was pointed to the page for KB3159706, which I found was installed on my WSUS server: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3159706
As it stated... you needed a manual process to finish this update.
The command: "wsusutil.exe postinstall /servicing" fixed my problem.
After running the command I could start the wsus service again.

Reinstalling Management Point fails with "Not enough disk space" on SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 CU1
I have a SCCM server (level: 2012 R2 SP1 CU1) with SMS Provider- and Management Point role installed.
After upgrading WAIK to version 10, a reinstallation of all roles were initiated.
All roles installed fine - except for the Management Point.
Looking into MPSetup.log I found:
PreReq fails !!! ok, we look into CCMSetup.log:
Ok, the client installs ok, but the update fails with.... Not enough disk space - The installation requires at least 90MB free disk space ...
I have plenty more disk space than required....
Ok, I removed the MP role - and added it again.... same error...
After several hours of troubleshooting it turned out that there was a mismatch between the MP and the client version, that the MP tried to install (thanks to Microsoft Support and Kent Agerlund @ Coretech).
To solve this issue, I had to follow these steps:
1 remove the MP role from the server
2 uninstall ccm agent (ccmsetup /uninstall)
3 restart the server (just to be sure...)
4 install the MP role (this also install a sccm agent)
5 upgrade the sccm agent (ccmsetup /upgrade)
YES... now my MP was up running again.
(but the error message was SO far from error as it could be)
