TFS 2018 (on-prem) unable to load static content - tfs-2018

Using Chrome or MS EDGE we notice some resources are not being loaded when various pages on TFS are requested by browser such as seen below:
Impact of this:
We notice missing icons on the UI most often like this:
Our version of TFS
We have seen this post and tried to reach out to the contact for the hotfix, however have not had a response back.
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/338655/tfs-2018-update-3-attempting-to-load-from-static2s.html
Any assistance for this issue would be appreciated!

Found a post on the internet (I can't find the link now) that we implemented.
i.e. Add the TFS service account the Group Policy rights for "Impersonate a client after authentication" (seen under Local policies > User Rights Assignment)
A restart of the server or services is required, afterward.

Adding an exception to IE proxy settings to allow connection to Exchange Online

I'm hoping someone can help. Any advice appreciated.
Summary:
Internet access was recently blocked for domain admin accounts. However various scripts we run, while logged into our admin accounts, create a remote connection to Exchange Online using Connect-ExchangeOnline.
Internet access is blocked via a group policy which applies proxy settings to IE for any connection except local.
What I've Tried:
I've tried adding various Microsoft domains to the exceptions list within the GPO to no avail- see the official list I used here. I've added a few test exceptions (google.com) etc which do work after a gpupdate.
I am using the -PSSessionOptions switch with IEConfig as the -ProxyAccessType.
When I try to connect I'm receiving a generic error as expected: "New-ExoPSSession : An error occurred while sending the request".
The domains I've added to the exception list are (I realise some of these are contradictory but just wanted to cover all bases as fairly new to this): *.outlook.com; *.outlook.office.com; .outlook.office365.com; .outlook.; *.office365.com; *.microsoftonline.com; *.onmicrosoft.com; *. *.onmicrosoft.com
Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing? Any advice appreciated.
Cheers.

Dynamics 365 CRM Portals. Rich-text editor missing

I work with Dynamics 365 Portals.
The rich-text editor is missing, how do I get it back?
I (my user) have all four webroles, including administrator. I am logged in. I have tried to clearing all cashes and reboot the portal itself. My coleagues are also unable to see it. Nothing works.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Few things to check.
There should only be a single Authenticated web role and a single Anonymous web role. You don't need to assign these web roles to your user, they are applied automatically by context.
Check you have a web page access control rule setup to grant change, that is linked to your Administrator web role.
Make sure you clear the server side cache.
Sorry, I do not have enough reputations to comment.
I am assuming that you don't see the front side editing tools.
9 out of 10 times, this is typically to do with the cache not clearing properly. Could you changing something on the webpage and check if the cache is clearing properly and the newest webpage content is surfacing on the portal?
Also, by default, the "Administrator" web role is associated with the appropriate "Website Access Permission" to provide you with the front side editing capability. If for some reason, the Website Access Permission is not associated with the Administrator web role, even if you belong to the Administrator web role, front side editing capability will not work.

Verification by Card always shows Session Expired on Azure

Whenever i try to register for Azure Free Trial, i feed all information and as soon as i land on Verification by Card page, it loads and then instantly shows me Session expired. I tried using different ID, different network and also different city to perform the action. Azure support does not work and googling doesnt help much either.
Is anyone else experiencing same or i am only one with such a problem.
I have also attached the screenshot of the issue.

I would assume only two thing could cause this.
1. The Browser.
Can you do a clean fresh install of your preferred browser? Maybe there is a cookie issue. Microsoft has a notorious browser past. Are you using IE? If not true installing IE.
2. The Site's Code
Nothing can be done there. Just call Microsoft Support.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Tim
I doubt there's a global access issue with Azure, but you can double-check the status here.
It looks like a trouble with your current device configuration.
Check that your clock is correct. Your browser may remove cookies or
reject certificates because of wrong clock.
Check your browser-specific settings for limitations and security measures like disabled Javascript or enchanced security. It's also worth checking the addons and extensions for the same reason.
If you're on Windows, check Internet Settings or try to add the site to Trusted Sites list. A few months ago I had to add Microsoft sites to the Trusted Sites list on Windows Server box to solve a similar issue.
The simplest solution would be to try another device.
I had the same problem. Trying different approaches to solve the issue ultimately had the same outcome...I couldn't create an Azure subscription when logging in using my O365 credentials.
Working with Microsoft Support the approach that successfully worked for me was to open an InPrivate Browser session. Navigate to https://account.azure.com/, which causes a credential challenge, which you should use the O365 credentials. Ultimately a successful outcome.
BTW> I could only engage MS Support by submitting a Support request. MSFT were responsive in that I was contacted within 60min, with a suggested resolution.

Sharepoint 2010 local - login

I am trying to setup a local Sharepoint Server 2010 for testing purposes. I have never worked wih SP before, but it is per request from a client. And I am a strong fan of "learning-by-doing".
Everything is setup fine but when I try to access the Central Administration site it keeps asking me for user and password and I have no idea what that is. Is there something I am missing somewhere or forgot to set up. I have enable anonymous login in the IIS settings but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
I am logged in with my standard Windows user "Morten".
are you using Domail Controller Active directory user to login ?
IF yes then check that your PC is available in Domain Controller
also check ,
Go to IIS > Your SIte > Right click on your site and go to advanced settings > Check for the Idenetiy under Process Model Section .
It should same as your login.
Let me know the outcome

How do I create a web page in CRM that talks the web service for both IFD and On-premise?

We have three servers that all share the same database. One server is internet facing.
I have a web page in an IFRAME in CRM that talks to the CRM web service using the standard method of connecting for on-premise. When this IFRAME is displayed through the IFD with users logged in through the forms authentication element, you are asked for login credentials.
How do I get around this?
EDIT
The IFRAME that targets the CRM service is on four servers. Two of the servers are used for IFD and On-premise use. The other two are for on-premise only. They are all in the same domain. All of the users are internal users that can log in through the web if they are using a customer's computer or a machine in an Internet cafe and therefore can't use the VPN.
A few questions to better understand you issue. Is the iframe which targets CrmService on the same IFD server? Is the IFD server on the same domain as the rest of the servers? When you say users are logged in are you refereeing to local domain users or external users?
I suspect the problem is not the services, but the IFrame. When you authenticate to MSCRM via on-premise you are doing Windows Authentication, and when you should the IFrame that authentication request is done again. Since the browser knows everything it needs this is all handled transparently.
When using IFD, you are not using authentication on the web server level - you are doing it using forms based which is on the application level. You IFrame though is still wanting authentication, and thus the iframe prompts for authentication.
If you were having a service problem, the IFrame would display and what ever action triggers the service call would fail with a 400 or 500 error.
So the question comes in how do you build a web page that can cater for windows authentication and forms based? Well that is easy in MSCRM, first make sure you are not running authentication on the web page - set it to anonymous. That ensures no more popups, then make sure you use the CrmAuthenticationToken code to get the token and use that for all calls. You should not be setting the .Credentials property of the service itself.
Assuming you're deploying your page within the CRM website (and not its own virtual directory) then here is pointing you at the SDK article for what Robert mentioned:
See the SDK topic titled: Authentication from an ASPX Page.
In my experience you should always use the CRMImpersonator in your web pages within the CRM website.
Now if you've got your own page running on its own website:
You'll want to see the Discovery service and obtaining a CRM Ticket for accessing the services.
