For some reason Firefox 59 on windows 10 (1709) under parallels started to misbehave and displayed address bar text and background all black.
On some pages the page was inverted with blocks of black and some flickering was noticeable as well.
After some frustration and lots of trial and error I disabled hardware acceleration when available option under Firefox preferences which did the trick.
Force quit windows service which failed to stop using service.msc
Windows 10 has option to display everything in gray-scale.
It can be switched on and off by keyboard combination of CTRL + WIN + C key
It is possible to activate it accidentally if you have keyboard with CTRL and Windows key right next to each other since CRTL + C is to copy.
Hope this helps someone else who ends up in the gray-scale world of windows 10.
During my exchange 2010 to exchange 2016 migration I run in to outlook connectivity problem which made it impossible to connect.
There are hundreds of similar issues on google unfortunately none of them solved the problem until I found two solutions on separate blogs and combined them and here is my final fix:

If user has a lot of emails which they need to delete here is a command which can help at the server end:
Search-Mailbox -Identity “User Name” -SearchQuery “Received:<$(’12/31/2013′)” -DeleteContent

what worked for me was to change it to 0 first and then change it to -1
If set to 0 it will force user to change password on next login. (If user doesn’t have flag set to Don’t Expire Password)
If set to -1 the password change date will be set to current date and time.

error when trying to create new GAL using:
New-GlobalAddresslist “new GAL” –ConditionalCustomAttribute1 “STAFF” –IncludedRecipients “AllRecipients”WARNING: One or more global address lists were missing from the Active Directory attribute. This is likely caused by
using legacy Exchange management tools to create global address lists.
Active Directory operation failed on server1.domain.local. This error is not retriable. Additional information: The name ref
erence is invalid.
This may be caused by replication latency between Active Directory domain controllers.
Active directory response: 000020B5: AtrErr: DSID-03152C47, #1:
0: 000020B5: DSID-03152C47, problem 1005 (CONSTRAINT_ATT_TYPE), data 0, Att 907ff (globalAddressList2)
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [New-GlobalAddressList], ADConstraintViolationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 8E376CCD,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.NewGlobalAddressList
the most likely problem is corupted entry.
This can be tested using power shell script on AD server:
$ad = [ADSI]"LDAP://rootDSE";
$domain = $ad.rootDomainNamingContext;
$obj = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,$domain");
$count = 0;
$Gals1= $obj.GlobalAddressList;
foreach($g in $Gals1)
{
$g= $g.ToString().ToLower();
if($g.Contains("cn=deleted objects"))
{
Write-Host $g;
$count= $count +1;
}
}
Write-Host "$Count corrupted GAL entries found in property GlobalAddressList";
$count = 0;
$Gals2= $obj.GlobalAddressList2;
foreach($g in $Gals2)
{
$g= $g.ToString().ToLower();
if($g.Contains("cn=deleted objects"))
{
Write-Host $g;
$count= $count +1;
}
}
Write-Host "$Count corrupted GAL entries found in property GlobalAddressList2";you will get output something like this:
cn=default global address list\0adel:cc665233-b490-477a-a972-60fdd6d991ef,cn=deleted objects,cn=configuration,dc=domain,dc=
local
1 corrupted GAL entries found in property GlobalAddressList
0 corrupted GAL entries found in property GlobalAddressList2
If you find corrupted entries (make sure to have full system backup) you will have to remove them using ADSI edit on domain controller.
Using ADSI edit connect to configuration:
configuration\ Services\ Microsoft Exchange (right click / properties)
depending on the listed corruption look for GlobalAddressList or GlobalAddressList2 and click edit.
Remove corrupted entries.
This helped me to fix creating new GAL.

for some reason I had parental control enabled on network user with local admin rights.
it wasn’t possible to remove them using system preferences.
to remove it I used terminal command:
sudo dscl . -mcxdelete /Users/username
