• Remove Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) from a WS2012 R2 with PowerShell.

  I decided to tear down my Azure Lab IaaS and ASR infrastructure and rebuild it. The process involves removing the ASR configurations, Recovery Vaults, S2S VPNs, VNets and Azure VM running as a Azure based Domain controller for resilience with on-premise infrastructure and Azure deployed Apps.

• Force Disable of Azure Replication from Orphaned On Premise Hyper-V Virtual Machine.

  After successfully stopping and removing protection for one of my replica virtual machines in Azure Site Recovery, I observed that the on premise primary virtual machine replication status changed to a failed state.
