Recently, our systems administrator has just finished migrating our workstations from an old domain to a new domain. But this caused an issue wherein most of the databases are not accessible. I've done several workarounds from stackoverflow and non of them worked. The solution that worked is to add my new domain user to the databases using SQL Server Authentication (sa) and set my new domain user as dbOwner.

Hello, We noticed lately that our WPF Projects menu items and Visual Studio menu items are left aligned rather than right aligned. However, not all desktop were affected by this issue. Further research led me here Windows 10 Drop-Down Menus Are Aligned To The Left in which you have to execute a shell command shell:::{80F3F1D5-FECA-45F3-BC32-752C152E456E} via Windows + R command. This will open the Tablet PC Settings with Right-Handed radio button checked. Changing it to Left-Handed then Apply will change the menu items alignment to the right. Visual Studio Menu Items Are Now Right Aligned

Good evening team! While I was doing an inventory of my Dell laptop's disk space, I found out that it has an unallocated size of around 70 GB and my C:\ primary drive is running out of space. My goal is to extend the C:\ drive with the unallocated space so that I can install more softwares and similar applications. My journey started with the Disk Management to extend the primary drive. Unfortunately, the Extend Volume feature is disabled. I started looking for answers in forums and tried some recommended free partition software to solve my case. But still no luck. After several hours of research, I finally extended my primary drive using a partition tool called MiniTool Partition Wizard . The tutorial to add extend a primary partition using unallocated space is presented here How to Merge Unallocated Space in Windows 10 for a Large Partition . Look for Case 2: Add Unallocated Space to Partition Windows 10 for the specific steps. Cheers!
