I've recently had a problem where after running low on space on the C: drive tried to redirect the c:\users \username \AppData folder.

We've been doing some testing on the recently released Windows Server 2016 And came accross a worrying problem that DCPromo shows "Windows Server Technical Preview" as the domain and forest functional levels when you promote a Windows Server 2016 machine to be a domain controller After a quick look on the Microsoft knowledge base it appears that this is a user interface problem in that no-one checked the strings before the final release of the production version of Windows Server 2016.

We often find that in the course of our work we come across answers to problems and will generally blog about them or post them as answers on sites like Microsoft.com or Stack Overflow. We generally attribute the code that we paste to our product and put a backlink to our site, some forums like Microsoft don't seem to mind as long as your posting relevant content and valid answers and I thought StackOverflow didn't mind either so happily worked for free for them pasting our source code into answers given a product mention. Other forums won't allow this and your post won't appear which is fair enough. That was until I started getting quite arrogant emails from StackOverflow.
