Just enabling Remote Desktop Connections from Advanced system setting does not work.
VirtualBox: Windows Server 2012 R2 fails to install

Please search for these events in Windows\System event log:
– 6009, 6005 and 6013
– 1076 for unexpected restarts
This applies to 2008 and 2003 server. I haven’t checked on SBS 2011 or Server 2012
IPv4 before IPv6
IPv6 stack which is enabled by default for quite some time is causing problems with the networks that have no IPv6.
You can experience timeouts and you basically wait much longer to do certain things e.g. updating something.

#precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100

Yes, unfortunately Live.com also called Outlook.com or Hotmail.com will not work properly with your Thunderbird.
Once an account is configured in TB, after some days their server will refuse to send emails asking you to log in to their web access to confirm that you are not a spam robot. After you log in still you have to type nasty long CAPTCHA to make them 100% sure.
As you can see Microsoft and Google free email service is becoming less user friendly.
Of course everything is with Your security in mind, but in reality it is not. They simply want to track you and also encourage users to their web access where expose to marketing.
