Updating the Domain Credentials from Remote Desktop System

 Hi,

I have had so many opportunities when I had to change my passwords but I did not remember how to get the change password console in the remote system.

So without further adieu let me give you the shortcut to the password change console.

This works with Windows Server 2016 so I assume it will work with most of the newer versions.


The shortcut is [cntrl] + [alt] + [end]


So you will be able to see this console and then you just need to click on the Change a password option and the change password console will open up. 

Hope this helps you next time when you want to reset a password for your domain logon from a remote desktop system.


Thanks,

Tushar Kanti

Getting Lazy is Getting Comfortable or Getting Old

 Hey,

Been a month already into new year and I have not put in anything in my favourite blog. You know what I think after sometime we start to find happiness everywhere and that is where we start getting mature and start behaving matured. One we understand that we need to get money to pay bills and two we know where to get easy money(keeping a day job) and where to get real money aka investment in real estate, travel blogging, basically following your passion not limited to your study or bathroom :)


So we all have developed some basic skills (IT Support is not a skill we develop it's like we were enslaved into it), like Technology, Music, Art; and it is good enough to pay for our real bills but we have put in so much of planning small things that we are losing the larger picture. 

Or may be just me.. lol.. 

So you wana get up early and strech out and then you see the guitar giving you the sad stare and then when you start tuning the guitar to play you start to think that the code you left running in production last night might have completed and you will need to enable the job which you disabled to check the issues in the data consistancy. And trust me by the time you login to the VPN to connect you realize your phone is out of juice and just when you plug in the charger you realise that the socket is still broken which you had to fix but then you forgot to get the screw driver which was broken.. and on and on... and suddenly you realise your kid is up. 


You get it right that we have been amazingly undisciplined in our life so when we try to work on something i.e. we want to take a step ahead in our life with anyone of our so called passions we need to take atleast a couple to steps back and then revise things and then take a step forward. This has been a gift of the habbit of fast food generation that we are. We need things super fast but we do not realise that patience is one thing that we need to have in anything that we want to achieve. 


So I think we need to slice our life (hey not literally just a time slice will do)  and then use those slices to make most of it. We need to make sure that every slice is fun and we need to have more of it. 


So initially it will all be boring and slow and may be it will not make sense but I think it will work out pretty well soon. I used to play the guitar and I still am there but now I do not play to go somewhere I just play to play and to enjoy what I can do with it. Singing is something I have lost the touch but I miss that the most. I mean so many things to do in just one life. 


Of all the things that I have lost I miss my time the most. But it's just been 10 years that I been like this and I think I will turn around, stronger than before.
