Great built-in Windows command line tool to use if you want to purge backup files older than… say one week.
Batch file I create to to delete .bak (backup files) older than one week:
forfiles /P “<Path to files>” /S /M *.bak /D -7 /C “cmd /c del @PATH”
From here, I set up Windows ‘Scheduled Tasks’ to run this batch file every night. Works great!

Check if the server certificate has the private key corresponding to it. Refer the below picture:
If private key is missing, then you need to get a certificate containing the private key, which is essentially a .PFX file. There is a command that we could try to run in order to associate the private key with the certificate:
C:\>certutil –repairstore my “1a 1f 94 8b 21 a2 99 36 77 a8 8e b2 3f 42 8c 7e 47 e3 d1 33”
Note: 1a 1f 94 8b 21 a2 99 36 77 a8 8e b2 3f 42 8c 7e 47 e3 d1 33 is the thumbprint of the certificate. Open the certificate and click on the details tab. Scroll down to find the thumbprint section. Select the thumbprint section and click on the text below. Do a “Ctrl+A” and then “Ctrl+C” to select and copy it. Below is a snapshot for your reference:
If the association is successful, then you would see the following window:

When you try to activate Windows Server 2012, you receive an error message that resembles the following:
Activation Error: Code 0x8007232b

Where xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx is the placeholder for your MAK key
When installing Exchange 2013 in an environment with Exchange 2010, there is no link or application for Exchange Admin Center. Open a browser and type https://<Servername>/ecp/?ExchClientVer=15, this will give you direct access to the Exchange 2013 server, not on the Exchange 2010 server where the mailbox may reside.

When installing SBS 2011 in migration mode it replicates Active Directory during the install. If it fails the SBS 2011 installation won’t complete. When looking at the File Replication Service in the Event Viewer, and you have NtFrs errors preventing replication, it won’t finish. Change the registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesNtFrsParametersBackup/RestoreProcess at StartupBurFlags to D4. Then go to command prompt and stop the ntfrs service “net stop ntfrs”, when it stops, restart it, “net start ntfrs”
Check the File Replication Service event logs and see if the NtFrs event logs are Information now instead of Error.

If you want to replicate ntfrs to another server use “D4”, if you want to replicated from another server use “D2” in the registry.
Look for the “pdc32.dll” and the “wps32.dll” within the WindowsSystem32 (and/or WindowsSysWoW64) directory and rename them to *.old. Then run the Nsetup again to correct this issue.
