AnyConnect Error – ‘Failed To Get Configuration From Secure Gateway’
KB ID 0001354 Problem Saw this while attempting to connect to my ASA this week. AnyConnect Secure Mobility Downloader Failed to get configuration from secure gateway.

Cisco AnyConnect – Running ‘Logon Scripts / OnConnection Scripts’
KB ID 0001353 Problem I’ve seen this asked a lot in forums, and it came up on EE again today. I’ve never had to set this up in the past, but I’ve posted the links to the correct Cisco articles when people have asked. After the question was asked again today, I thought I’d take the time to write a decent article on how to do it. Why would you want to do this? You might want to map/reconnect a mapped drive, or...

Microsoft Exchange – Forwarding Mail To External Email Addresses
KB ID 0001350 Dtd 05/10/17 Problem Note: Below I’m using Exchange 2016, but the same approach will work for previous versions. There are a load of reasons why you might want to do this, but before you go off in this direction consider why you are doing this in the first place. For example, if the user requesting this does not need an Exchange mailbox, i.e. because they only use their Gmail account then it’s probably a...
Exchange Bulk Export / Import Mail Contacts
KB ID 0001349 Dtd 22/09/17 Problem I had to do this today and realised, it’s been so long since I did it last, I’d forgotten how to do it.
