Windows DevMode has a limitation of 32 characters. What this means is that printer names cannot be longer than 32 characters... 31 really.
Why does it matter?
When Excel queries the printers, it is given the printer name information from Windows. Windows DevMode is limited by design and will truncate the name after 31 characters. This information is then passed to Excel which caches the information for faster performance when printing. If the names are identical after they are truncated, Excel will not query the printer for new settings and the cached settings will be used.
Can you provide an example?
When changing printers in the print dialog, you may be switching from a printer that is set to single-sided printing, to another that is set as duplex. For this example these printers are named ThisIsATestNameThatIsReallyLong1 (SINGLE-SIDED) and ThisIsATestNameThatIsReallyLong2 (DUPLEX). Both are 32 characters long, with the only difference being the number at the end.
Your default is ThisIsATestNameThatIsReallyLong1.
When you open the print dialog and choose "ThisIsATestNameThatIsReallyLong2", the setting for single-sided does not change to duplex.
This is because in Excel's cache, both printer names were provided truncated from Windows at the 32nd character. The result is that the name for both of them is ThisIsATestNameThatIsReallyLong. Excel does not detect any change and there is no reason for it to query the printer for the settings that are already cached. Causing Excel's settings to remain as they were... single-sided.
When is it more possible to see this?
This in itself, is usually not a problem because printer names are typically not that long when they are local. However, when using a print server or IPP printers, this has been reported. This is because the printer name includes both the name you assign the printer as well as the print server information. These two fields can quickly use up 32 characters.
What can we do?
As this is the designed behavior of both Windows and Excel, I've listed some workarounds available below if you encounter this issue.
Workarounds:
1. Shorten the name of the printer (+ print server) to less than 32 characters.
2. Move the printer name differentiator to the front of the long name so that it is not truncated and Excel can then see the difference in the cached values.
3. Choose a printer that is named entirely different, then go back and re-select the one you'd like.
Alerta - Informações sobre os testes de bloqueio dos controles de ActiveX desatualizados no Internet Explorer
Qual é o objetivo do alerta?
Esse alerta tem por objetivo fornecer recursos que você pode usar para aprender e testar uma nova funcionalidade no Internet Explorer (testes de bloqueio dos controles de ActiveX desatualizados) que será ativado em 9 de Setembro de 2014.
Resumo
O grupo de produto do Internet Explorer (IE) anunciou na semana passada que, a partir de 9 de Setembro, o Internet Explorer irá começar a bloquear os controles de ActiveX desatualizados. Este comportamento será habilitado como parte do compromisso contínuo da Microsoft para oferecer um navegador mais seguro.
O grupo de IE destaca a importância de manter os controles de ActiveX atualizados porque muitas vezes software desatualizados são alvos de malware e falhas de segurança.
Os dados do último Microsoft Security Intelligence Report fornece detalhes sobre a dimensão do problema. Em 2013, os exploits da Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE) representaram de 84,6% a 98,5% das detecções em cada mês. Mais detalhes estão disponíveis no presente artigo: Manter o Oracle Java atualizado continua a ser um elevado ROI de segurança.
A nova funcionalidade para bloquear os controles de ActiveX desatualizados é instalada como parte da Atualização de Segurança Cumulativa para o Internet Explorer (MS14-051), lançado em 12 de Agosto de 2014. Os clientes podem gerenciar o comportamento desse novo recurso em seus ambientes utilizando ferramentas de gerenciamento existentes (por exemplo, modelos de política de grupo).
Como testar este recurso
Antes de 9 de Setembro de 2014, os clientes podem testar o recurso para entender melhor seu funcionamento e determinar o impacto em seu ambiente.
Informações sobre como testar essa nova funcionalidade foi adicionada ao artigo do KB para este recurso:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38414
It will not work with the earlier Windows Azure MP version 6.1.7724.0 found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11324
NOTE: You are on your own to turn Azure storage metrics on. This MP will not turn them on for you.
For additional reading on the topic:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh343264.aspx
By default this MP will discover if Blob, Queue, and/or Table metrics are enabled on any if your Monitored Azure Storage services. If metrics are enabled it will start collecting the following hourly metrics into the Ops DB and the Data Warehouse:
In addition to that, it will alert if Availability drops below 98% and/or PercentThrottlingError rises above 1%.
There are views for state, script events, and performance.
If you have any questions, comments, or requests, feel free to run them by me. I may add to this MP over time.

Summary: Dia Reeves, aka the Scripting Editor, has some fun talking about working on the Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog.
Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. Today we have a guest blog from my editor, Dia Reeves...
Hello to all you Windows PowerShell scripters and fans of the Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog! I have been editing and publishing this blog since 2011, and I thought it would be fun to write a post that helps you understand my part in our process and shares some stats about our blog.
Maybe I will let Ed edit and publish my post!
Well, maybe not...
Although I have been a technical editor for 14 years, I don't mind admitting that I do not consider myself very technically oriented. In my only programming class, I sat in horror as all the other students celebrated with glee when "Hello World!" appeared on their screens. I finally summoned the instructor to help me. "You're missing a comma...See? Right here," he drawled.
Are you kidding me? Missing a tiny little comma? What kind of crazy person would want to do this all day, every day? (...she asked, winking at all you dev dudes and dudettes.)
Of course, the irony is that I now thrive on missing and misplaced commas...
misused semicolons...
misspelled words...
misplaced modifiers...
Stop me!
So I chose the path of an editor, not a dev.
The true value of an editor is mysteriously hidden behind the scenes. My main goal is to make writers look good with no one knowing I was there. For fun, I marked up a paragraph from a blog post so you can see the types of changes I make without the writers ever knowing (sshhhh):
This example simply needed a little punctuation and a little clarification, but publishing it as written would not have been the best plan.
Hey! I have a great idea! What if we could package simple issues such as those in a Windows PowerShell command? No one would ever need an editor again. Enter the best cmdlet ever, Get-Editor, and its nifty parameter -ClearConciseConsistent:
PS C:\> $edit = Get-Editor -ClearConciseConsistent
But alas, such a command could never replace the total logic in an editor's head. What the heck am I looking for aside from proper spelling, capitalization, and punctuation? The editor's head sees fascinating factoids such as these:
If all this sounds very mundane and unimportant to you, it should! Most of this is stuff that writers (or readers) should not have to concern themselves with...
One moment, please...
"Yes, Ed?"
"This just goes to show why having an editor is a good thing. Even when editors are writing, they can accidentally end a sentence with a preposition from time-to-time."
"Thanks for the excellent feedback, but I think I'll exercise my writer's prerogative and leave it."
Now where was I? Oh, yes...A writing hat is far different than an editing hat. Writers should feel free to ramble, knowing that a good editor will sort it out behind them.
Traditional writing and editing practices are a back and forth dance. The writer submits a document and the editor sends it back full of suggested changes. The writer takes the good and ignores the bad, then sends it back to the editor with more suggestions. And around it goes...
This collaborative effort is so much fun! But it is very time consuming, and things are moving fast in the computing world, including the world of Windows PowerShell. We post a blog and a PowerTip every day of the year, so it is easy to see that this traditional format will not work. Because we have worked together for several years and Ed trusts me (Ed added that phrase), in our model, Ed tosses me an article, and I edit and publish it. No reviews involved.
Editors also act as the writer's first reader. I provide a fresh set of eyes for a document that has been re-read and rewritten to ad nauseam. For example, check out this little surprise that I found in a script we were going to post. Every one of you dev types knows that the writer was exhausted by the time he wrote this, and he exchanged the values for .People and .Eater in the output:
He owes me dinner for catching that one.
Here is the user interface of the Telligent tool that I use to publish our blog:
It looks straight-forward enough, right? I dump in the text from the edited Word doc and the tool magically spits out a webpage. But if everything is not input appropriately, the formatting can be funky and the images won't be sized correctly. Don't even mention that the publication date might not be set correctly, or that clicking an improperly set link can totally engulf the screen with a new site.
Ed is a brilliant writer and he is taxed with coming up with two posts per day. Why should he have to deal with this tool? Luckily, I love messing with it. So he can focus on writing.
Did you know that publishing the Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog 365 days a year was originally classified as an "experiment"? No one knew if there would be interest in a daily blog about Windows PowerShell or if there would be enough content to write about on a daily basis.
But as the world of Windows PowerShell grows, so does the information Ed shares in this blog. In fact, everything is growing so fast that he has enlisted the help of many guest bloggers. I have been lucky to also edit the works of brilliant authors such as Sean Kearney, Richard Siddaway, Boe Prox, the Scripting Wife, and a variety of other Honorary Scripting Guys and guest bloggers.
The Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog has grown to be the number 1 blog on MSDN and on TechNet. Here are some interesting stats from our July 2014 statistics compilation:
Of course, I would like to attribute this growing popularity to excellent editing, but the main truth is that Ed has found a perfect formula for teaching people about Windows PowerShell in easy-to-read snippets and examples. I think we can conclude that our "experiment" has been successful.
If you are thinking that one reason for me writing this post is to illuminate the value of editing, you're right! A writer without an editor is like a doctor without a nurse, an anchorwoman without a cameraman, a rock band without a drummer. In today's world of instant publishing, anyone can write and publish a blog, but will people want to continuously read it? It needs to be clear, concise, and consistent. And guess what? Those are the three tenants of good editing!

More and more customers in the retail and manufactory space getting interested to Windows Phone. One of the reasons is an new feature called 
Assigned Access, which essentially provides enterprises the capability to manage the user experience of enrolled devices.
This means we as IT Professionals decide If hardware button are enabled, how the start screen looks like and which settings are available for the user.
All we need for this is to create a simple XML blob (read more here on how to create the XML blobs.) and then deploy it to the device over a Mobile Device Management solution.
Let me now walk you through the steps required in order to achieve this.
Mobile Device Management Configuration (Based on System Center Configuration Manager + Windows Intune):

(Special thanks to Mike Danoski, David Alessi and Michael Morales for their lab environment)
In my example the XML blob I used is changing the following:
Once the configuration baseline is deployed, all we need to do is to synchronize the Windows Phone with the MDM provider and then the Assigned Access profile should be applied:
One very important note for the end: This feature is targeted for companies who provide Windows Phone for their users, I do not recommend using this feature in a BYOD scenario without the confirmation of the user.
