I'm using the vMA5 to interface with my APC UPS's for controlled shutdowns when my power switches to battery. The shutdowns work as expected. My problem is during the restarts, I have my hosts starting properly, but the VMs need to start in a particular order (i.e. DC first, then Exch, then...

I have an HTA that I'm writing that writes and calls a PowerShell script. The PS script interrogates Exchange to find who has ActiveSync enabled. This is used later in the main script for looking at ActiveSync devices and controlling them. The PS script works perfectly when run as a...

I'm trying to determine how a script was launched then run a sub based on this. For example, if a script was launched by Task Scheduler then write a line into a log file saying 'scheduled launch' but if it was run manually then write a different line into the log file saying 'manual launch'...

I'm using Munin (www.munin-monitoring.org) to monitor my servers. It is a Linux monitoring tool, but there is a Windows module available. One of the items I want to monitor is how many records are contained in a certain table on an MSSQL server. I have a basic idea of how to connect from...

I'm working on optimizing some code I wrote and I have a question about storing a value in a variable vs looking it up multiple times. Just thinking about it, it seems that looking it up once and storing it in a variable is more efficient, but I guess I don't really know. The code below is how...

We recently got a new VP of IT and he wants us to remove the local admin rights of all our users. Unfortunately 75% of our users are field based and I can't get my hands on them easily. I'm hoping there's a way to remove the users from the Local Administrators group via Group Policy, I'd even...

We're pretty solid on our daily backups due to Veeam v4 :-) But we're now looking at options for doing monthly or quarterly offsite backups for disaster recovery. I'm curious to know what everyone is doing. We have about 4TiB of data to take offsite, I'm thinking there are 3 options, physical...

I have a 500GiB hard drive that apparently lost one of its partitions. When I look at it using Paragon Partition Manager, it shows it as free space. The user was trying to resize the Win7 partition with Paragon Partition Manager to make room for Ubuntu 9.10, it told her that it could not run...

I'm building a TimeStamp function for logging in a vbs app that I'm building. I don't want to use the Now() because that only shows to seconds, I want to show milliseconds. Some reading has shown that using the Timer() function may be better for my requirements. I wrote the below code, but...

I just installed the vSphere vCenter v4 and when the server boots, the vCenter services fail. As soon as I can get to the console and start the services, they start right up no issues, it's just on initial boot that they do not start. First error: EventID: 1000 Description: The description for...

I have searched for and not found any articles on how to set up a Linux (Debian Lenny) guest so I can use RDP to connect. I know, I know, why would I want to use RDP to connect when I could use VNC or anything else? I've got a Wyse WinTerm 3125 that only knows RDP and the Citrix ICA. When...

I'm looking for software to create/update my company's Org Chart. We have all the data (manager mostly) entered in the A/D fields and I'm now looking for software to pull that out of A/D into a functional Org Chart. Open source would be best, but I'll take any recommendations. Thanks, h

We are also a Blackberry BES 4.1 shop and I think it may be related to the Blackberries, but here's the issue: There is a folder in Outlook called Sync Issues, it has three sub folders Conflicts, Local Failures, Server Failures. These folders (mainly Conflicts) fill up and cause mailboxes to...

I saw Build 7201 is out in the wild, rumored to be the RTM. Anyone running this yet, any comments about it? h

I want to be able to capture the path my script is being called from. In VB6 I used app.path but that doesn't work in VBS. Thanks!

I need to copy my ESXi logs so I can email them out for analysis. Would someone please let me know how to do this? I can get to the CLI using ALT/F1 then "unsupported", but it's a pretty slim linux implementation and I don't know what all is available, i.e. will it load a usb drive? where...

One of my ESXi hosts halted last night and I need some help finding logs to try and figure out what happened. We do not have any enterprise tools (i.e. no vCenter, etc.). When I say halted, I mean that all servers that were running on that host were effectively non-existent, not responding to...

I am running Postfix for SMTP and Dovecot for IMAP & POP3. I'm looking for a webmail server to work with this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please include any pro/con comments you have as well. Thanks! h

I use a VBS loginscript which runs great. I am trying to add a registry entry because of an issue with how Win7 maps network drives. I have a couple of registry entries in my script, and three of them work but the new one for the drives issue does not. The three that do work are applied...
