KB3038314 Causing issues with lists in IE

I am seeing issues with KB3038314 It seems it is causing more than just install failures, I'm seeing that KB3038314 is cuasing performance issues in ASP.Net lists/ General large lists IE 9.0 and 11.0 affected.

If we remove KB3038314 the issues go away.

Update: If your list code executes slowly it's time to inspect your code.

Microsoft Security Advisory 3062591

This is really simple and really cool.



Microsoft Security Advisory 3062591: "Microsoft is offering the Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) that provides a solution to the issue of using a common local account with an identical password on every computer in a domain. LAPS resolves this issue by setting a different, random password for the common local administrator account on every computer in the domain. Domain administrators using the solution can determine which users, such as helpdesk administrators, are authorized to read passwords.
Compromised identical local account credentials could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker uses them to elevate from a local user/administrator to a domain/enterprise administrator. Local administrator credentials are needed for occasions when logon is required without domain access. In large environments, password management can become complex, leading to poor security practices, and such environments greatly increase the risk of a Pass-the-Hash (PtH) credential replay attack.
LAPS simplifies password management while helping customers implement recommended defenses against cyberattacks. In particular, the solution mitigates the risk of lateral escalation that results when customers use the same administrative local account and password combination on their computers."

Battery drain issue after 5.0.1 Lollipop update on LG G Watch running Android Wear.

I applied the 5.0.1 Android Wear update yesterday and charged  the G wach overnight...

From 7 AM to 2:30 PM I am now currently on 18% battery.. I haven't used the watch more that normal and Wear Battery Status isn't showing excessive usage..

I'll keep an eye out on this issue.

Next day update;
I've now removed instaweather and dislock

Fully charge and ready to go Wearbattery is now telling me that my watch is should last until tomorrow 4PM. This is much better than yesterday's performance.

6/01/2015 - update -
I've been using the LG G watch since the update and battery usage has gone back to normal. I also have a second LG G Smart watch which didn't suffer from the same issue post upgrade.

Get-CMDevice slow to retrieve many objects

I've found that if you use Get-CMDevice to get many objects it can take up to 20 minutes to return a result. It may look like it's not working but it is collecting data from SCCM, Just not fast like when you use the WMI query.
