SharePoint 2010 on Windows 10: Solving COMException / Unknown error (0x80005000)

This is not a problem I expected to solve, but it happened anyway. A client is using SharePoint 2010 and I need a local development farm.

I started with the usual configuration requirements:
Add <Setting Id="AllowWindowsClientInstall" Value="True"/> to the Setup config

Created a script to make a new configuration database so that I dont have to join a domain
$secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString "MyVerySecurePassword" -AsPlainText -Force
$mycreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("mydomain\administrator", $secpasswd)

$guid = [guid]::NewGuid();
$database = "spconfig_$guid"

New-SPConfigurationDatabase -DatabaseName $database -DatabaseServer myservername\SharePoint -FarmCredentials $mycreds -Passphrase (ConvertTo-SecureString "MyVerySecurePassword" -AsPlainText -force)

The PowerShell script was generating the error.

The solution is simple - you need to enable IIS 6.0 Management Compatibility on the machine

The script ran and I now have a very old SharePoint farm to use

SharePoint 2013: Error updating managed account credentials

I encountered the following message when trying to change a password for a managed account: Error deploying administration application pool credentials. Another deployment may be active. An object of the type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAdminAppPoolCredentialDeploymentJobDefinition named "job-admin-apppool-change" already exists under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerService named "SPTimerV4".  Rename your object or delete the existing object. The error message is self explanatory - Rename your object or delete the existing object.  I choose the latter. Powershell to the rescue. $job = Get-SPTimerJob -Identity "job-admin-apppool-change" $job.Delete() Reset the password and all should be good.
