Windows 10: Clear out previous DC’s

Gents & GentessesWhen I run DCDIAG it reports an error for all the old DC’s that they cant be found. There have been more than a few. If I empty all the event logs they don’t show if I DCDIAG again. But after a while they all reappear.Where are they coming from?Do the event logs replicate between DC’s and therefore just bring back all the old logs?ThanksDarenC:\Users\dfriday>dcdiag /s:dcop01Directory Server DiagnosisPerforming initial setup:Identified AD Forest.Done gathering initial info.Doing initial required testsTesting server: Default-First-Site\DCOP01Starting test: Connectivity… D

Clear Pagefile on Shutdown


I've been looking into clearing the pagefile, and I found the following steps at a somewhat dated webpage:

1. In the registry editor, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
2. Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to the REG_DWORD value of 1.
3. Restart Windows.

I'm just wondering whether those steps are still valid, and, if so, does clearing the pagefile work as advertised?
