“Use default gateway on remote network” on Windows 10

When creating a VPN connection on a client machine default settings for VPN is “Use default gateway on remote network”. Currently, on Windows 10 the TCP/IPv4 properties are greyed out because of some bug 🙂 The problem is that you cannot change those IPv4 settings in classic Properties window. Here is a simple solution:

 

  • Navigate to “C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk”
  • Open “rasphone” in text editor (eg. Notepad) and you will see well-structured config file divided by connections
  • Find you VPN config part and change the following value “IpPrioritizeRemote” to zero
  • Reconnect!

SharePoint 2013: System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException 500

Running out of memory is a well known bug for SharePoint 2013 search service specially because of noderunner.exe processes. Last week we had an issue with term set navigation change because of the following error: “system.servicemodel.serviceactivationexception 500”. Simply you cannot change anything. We have temporarily killed all noderunner.exe prcoesses, but it still failed.

 

Temp solution:
Enter the Windows Services list and just restart “SharePoint Host Search Controller”. After that make you should make your changes.

 

The same bug causes problems with editing SharePoint site in SharePoint Designer, simply you cannot open it. It is resolved in the same way.
