Valerie Plame Wilson's GoFundMe to Buy Twitter and Ban Donald Trump's Account

Of course this is a completely unrealistic concept....or is it?  Even if she can't raise enough to buy Twitter and bad Donald Trump's account, the money raised will go to a good cause - Global Zero.  Besides, contributing will make you feel GOOD while making a statement AND helping a good cause.

Enable and Set as Default TLS 1.2 on Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2

I had to ensure that TLS 1.2 is being used on a Windows 2008 R2 server, and was using a Windows 7 workstation to test it.  Just some quick notes on the whole process.

I had to update Windows 2008 R2 to Service Pack 1 as the first step.  Windows 7 must be on SP1 as well.

Microsoft KB 3080079 adds support for TLS 1.1 and 1.2 for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 2008 R2 SP1 but DOES NOT force use of it (see later steps):
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3080079

Apply KB3140245 to Windows 2008 R2 SP1 server and to Windows 7 SP1.  This KB gives the ability to set TLS 1.2 as the default protocol.  The article also explains how to set it as default on both Win 7 and Win 2008 R2:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3140245/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-a-default-secure-protocols-in

Enable TLS 1.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Win 7 SP1 after the above KBs are installed.  The article applies to Windows 7 SP1 also, though it doesn’t state that:
https://support.quovadisglobal.com/kb/a433/how-to-enable-tls-1_2-on-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx

Windows 7 and Win2008R2 TLS/SSL settings reference.  More info than you need to simply enable TLS 1.2, but might be useful:

Clear Disk Space Used by the System Volume Information Folder

Our monitoring system report that disk space on a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise server was very tight, less than 6GB free on a 136GB drive.  I checked the folders of the usual suspects that might be using large amounts of disk space, but none were using a large amount of space, and the Recycle Bin was empty.  What the heck?

I installed TreeSize Free on the server and discovered that the System Volume Information folder was using nearly 52GB of space.  Some searching showed lots of articles related to Windows System Backup or System Restore Points taking up lots of space in SVI, but that wasn’t relevant on this server.  I ran across this post, and one of the comments discussed Enabling and then Disabling Shadow Copies on the volume to clear out lots of SVI space.

https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/268151-system-volume-information-folder-is-massive?page=1#entry-6982763

I looked at the Shadow Copies tab of the Properties of the volume (right-click over the drive in Windows Explorer and choose Properties), and it showed that Shadow Copies was disabled, but showed 50GB+ in the Used column (I didn’t take a screenshot of that unfortunately, but the one below is similar).  After doing a bit of research to make sure enabling Shadow Copies is a safe operation to perform on a live production server, I enabled it.

After clicking Yes to enable Shadow Copies, I disabled it by clicking the Disable button and clicking Yes on the confirmation dialog.

After enabling and then disabling Shadow Copies, I re-scanned the volume with TreeSize Free,  The System Volume Information folder now took up only 3.0MB!
