Re: Powershell question - property to determine group vs user, using Quest Get-QADUser
I think this should work for you:
$TheUsers = Get-QADGroupMember $GroupName | where {$_.type -eq 'user'} |
Select Name | Sort Name

I'm confused about something. I am writing a Powershell script, using
the Quest AD CMDLETs. I have a list of groups that I need to retrieve
the membership list for. But I don't want any group members that are
themselves groups (i.e., no nested groups); I only want users. And I
am not sure how best to accomplish this. At the moment, my script
loops thought my list of groups, and I get the list of names who are
members:
$TheUsers = Get-QADGroupMember $GroupName | Select Name | Sort -property
Name
I then loop through the returned user list and output individual user
accounts that are not disabled into a spreadsheet.
ForEach ($User in $TheUsers)
{
$Employee = Get-QADUser $User.Name
$DisabledUser = $Employee.AccountIsDisabled
IF ( $DisabledUser -eq $false )
{
$Cells.Item($CurrentRow, $CurrentCol) =
$GroupCounter
(I don't want to make the pipelining too complicated, in case the
other guys need to maintain this script in my absence)
And so forth. But what I don't know is how to determine that $Employee
is a person and not a group. I'm sure it's simple and pretty much
staring me in the face, but I'm not seeing it. Groups have no
AccountIsDisabled property, apparently, so any groups who are
members of the group I am searching are not falling through into the
section that formats the spreadsheet.
SO: when I do a Get-QADUser someuser, what property should I be
looking at to determine that someuser is actually a group? Then I
can modify my IF statement appropriately.
Thanks, and sorry for being such a n00b at this ...

Re: it.shavlik.com
I saw this on the Hey, Scripting Guy blog. It uses powershell to audit and install Microsoft patches, and it sounds like it may do what you need it to. I haven't personally tried it myself yet. http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2011/08/13/use-powershell-to-audit-and-install-windows-patches.aspx 2011/8/22 Paul Hutchings paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk I wondered if anyone uses this service? I'm looking for a low cost but reliable way of updating servers as I'm at the point where I have too many servers to want to log on to each one interactively and kick off patching, but don't really want to tell WSUS to automatically install patches, I want some level of manual control. Essentially I want WSUS with a deploy right now option, which it doesn't have. This service seems to fit my needs in that it isn't stupidly expensive and Shavlik are arguably the most trusted name in patching. I've tried it on a couple of servers and it seems fine, I'd appreciate any first-hand experiences though. Other than vmware Go Pro I'm not aware of anything similar that has published and reasonable pricing?

Re: De-duping recommendation
I should have been clearer. It's not so much a problem with the Quantum, as
it is that it wasn't speced out properly. They knew it wasn't going to be
able to meet future expansion needs as it was ordered, but they needed a
solution in place quickly, and it was what they could afford at the time.
I'm not the one who runs the backups here, but my understanding is that the
backups are not able to finish before the process to dedupe the data
begins. So the data is deduped, and then has to be re-hydrated so it can be
dumped onto tape. This drastically increased the amount of time to complete
a backup to tape.
Supposedly the answer to this is to add another shelf of disks. Adding
another shelf would bump us up from 11TB to 22TB of dedupe space. Our end
goal is to have 50TB of storage, which is what we were using to compare with
the Data Domain. We were comparing a new 50TB implementation of Data Domain
with the cost of upgrading the current Quantum implementation to 55TB.
The other part of the comparison, which played into the pricing, was the
replication of data from our remote locations to our new HQ building. Data
domain was willing to work with us through the use of an extended trial
period, where Quantum was not.
Hope that answers your questions, and clarifies my earlier statements. Like
I said, most of the decision was based on pricing.

3Par vs NetApp
Does anyone have any thoughts on comparing 3Par solutions with NetApp? We currently have NetApp, and we need to replace it. The price for the new NetApp is much higher than we want it to be though, so we are looking at other solutions. We are looking for 50TB usable space. How do the management apps compare between the two solutions? How easy is the 3Par to expand? (We are probably looking at the F400 series) Will 3 Par use SAS drives? I saw FC, SATA, and Solid State listed, but not SAS. I'm willing to listen to any thoughts that any of you have. Thanks!

Re: 3Par vs NetApp
Thanks for the input. We're trying to get a meeting scheduled with 3Par, I'll make sure those are both on my list of things to ask. We do have a number of Solaris machines, as well we Windows machines. And expandability is always a concern. On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 12:03 PM, Maglinger, Paul pmaglin...@scvl.comwrote: Not familiar with 3Par, but if you are running a mixed environment of Windows and UNIX machines sharing the same files make sure your new solution works as well as the NetApp does. The only downside to NetApp that I see is that to expand your storage by adding physical disks, you have to have the free rack space for the new drives and then move the data over to them. HP EVA systems you can replace physical drives one at a time – slow because it has to level each time, but effective if you don’t have the spare room.

Even with the weak economy, companies will find it harder to recruit savvy workers if they don't let them use their favored technology. I'd like to know what this guy was smoking when he wrote this. In the US, with an unemployment rate of over 10%, if you turn down a job because the company won't let you use your favored technology then it is the company that has benefitted from you turning down the job!

Re: It hurts when I stick a fork in my eye!
IMO using that sort of language during an interview is unaccetable. If it can't be said on tv at 8pm, then it shouldn't be said in an interview. You want to put your best foot forward, and f this or f that during an interview is completely out of line. I don't have a problem with cursing, and I do it quite often.

Orion APM vs SCOM

Re: Orion APM vs SCOM
For right now we're looking at about 35 Windows servers. We have about 20 Unix servers, but I'm not sure that whatever we implement will be used on the Unix servers. In about 2 years we will be consolidating 4 other locations to our location. This will mean taking on some of their hardware, but I'm not sure how many machines that will ultimately end up being. We do have a small Blackberry environment, as well as Hyper-v...and there are serious talks about implementing MOSS and OCS. I'll take a look at Spotlight.

Smart Card Logon and Tumbleweed Desktop Validator
Is anyone here using smart cards for logon? If so, are you also using Tumbleweed DV? We are looking into enabling smart card authentication at one of our locations, and my boss's boss has asked me to put together a Visio document showing the logon process. We would be using Tumbleweed DV and I am trying to fit that into the Windows logon process. I found this document from Microsoft: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd277377.aspx#EDAA The document is from Windows 2000, but I don't think much has changed with the smart card authentication process. This is also the only document that I have been able to find from Microsoft which applied to what I was looking for. My hunch is that Tumbleweed DV would fit in right after step 4 and before step 5, to verify that the certificate is still valid. Would someone be able to verify that I am correct? Or if I'm wrong, tell me where it should fit into the process? Thanks for the help!

While I never had a conversation with Bob, I do remember the name and his
many posts. As well as many others, both Michael's, Andrew Baker, Sherry
Abercrombie and Erik Goldoff are in my older memories. I have a bunch of
e-mails archived in Lotus notes (nothing to get at them with anymore) and I
left that job with Notes in 2000 and it seems as I had been a part of the
list for 2 or 3 years by then. I took 2 or 3 years away from the list
and not long after I came back ASB quit posting. I followed an old link
recently and Andrew's Ultra Tech II web site is still active. The oldest
post in this current archive is from 2004 and all in a g-mail account - I
still search things there often.
There are a bunch of folks on this list from whom I have learned many
things. It's been a great 10 years. Thanks for the memories.

Re: UAC--argh...
Have you tried assigning permissions via an elevated command line or powershell? On Wed, Jul 15, 2009 at 12:41 PM, Miller Bonnie L. mille...@mukilteo.wednet.edu wrote: So, I’ve been trying REALLY hard to just get used to UAC with WS08, but now that we have some actual file servers coming online, using windows explorer to assign permissions is driving me absolutely batty. Example: While logged on with a domain admin account on a WS08 SP2 member server, I create a folder on the root of the hard drive (let’s call it E:\Files). Then, we remove inherited permissions and strip the list down to administrators and system full, and sometimes add domain admins with full, since that is the group here who can work with user files. Then, we assign the permissions for domain groups who need access. Folder can be shared out with Everyone Full, but the sharing isn’t really part of the problem. What I’ve listed above, which is fine on WS03, never seems to be enough permission for UAC, and I’ll get “access denied” errors when trying to apply permissions. If I add my account explicitly (the domain admin I’m logged on as), it then works. But if there is a subfolder (let’s say E:\Files\Butterflies) that I’m not added onto, then applying higher level permissions will make it stop and bark about permissions for that subfolder. There can be a lot of subfolders, and it stops on each one. Leaving the “everyone” permissions or creator owner on there when setting up the folder seems to help sometimes, but then you end up with more permissions than we want on something, and with creator owner there seem to be added permissions. Explorer.exe can’t be run in “compatability mode” so I can’t set it to run elevated, but I find that if I run it as administrator I seem to still have problems—it’s almost like each time you change the focus in explorer it re-evaluates your credentials. Do other people have this trouble, and if so, *what are you doing to handle this?* Here are some options I see: 1) Assign explicit permissions for administrative accounts on all files and folders—yikes! Would this work with a domain group, as long as it’s not domain admins (or something else in administrators)? 2) Log on with THE local administrator account when we need to work on permissions. (Yuk, getting prompted for domain credentials every time we need to browse the domain to add a group. Also bad having multiple admins logging on the same account all the time). 3) Suck it up and wait for R2, because they’ve made this “better” somehow? 4) When creating a folder, leave permissions at the “default”. Add groups that need access, and restrict the share-level permissions to just those groups (another yuk, especially since we are really getting away from sharing out every folder). 5) Something else? I was reading up on UAC on technet ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709691(WS.10).aspx), but I’m not sure if I could gain or lose anything by doing something like disabling admin approval mode or changing the elevation prompt for administrators. I’m concerned that this might really negate the security benefit of having UAC in the first place on a server. 6) Turn off UAC—honestly, I really don’t want to do this unless there is no other option. -Bonnie ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

Re: New IE zero day exploit in the wild
I've worked in EDU quite a bit, but never for an MD or a lawyer. But from what I've heard, I'd probably have to agree. The PhD's are above..but not too far above, the Lawyer, and below the doctor. Mostly because the PhD starts his/her research one year on $5 million equipment, and wants to make that equipment last for the next 15 years...which means you end up trying to support oold equipment! Not to mention, the PhD also doesn't like being told he's wrong. He does, after all, have a PhD and that makes him smarter than you in all facets of life.

Re: Bleep'n window server 2008 terminal server

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/virtualwifi/ *VirtualWiFi* (previously known as MultiNet) is a virtualization architecture for wireless LAN (WLAN) cards. It abstracts a single WLAN card to appear as multiple virtual WLAN cards to the user. The user can then configure each virtual card to connect to a different wireless network. Therefore, VirtualWiFi allows a user to simultaneously connect his machine to multiple wireless networks using just one WLAN card. This new functionality introduced by VirtualWiFi enables many new applications, which were not possible earlier using a single WLAN card. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

Anyone using vConverter from Vizioncore?
Is anyone using vConverter from Vizioncore for P2V conversions to Hyper-v? We aren't able to purchase SCVMM yet, but we have some servers we want to virtualize now. Looking at the prices on CDW, it looks like the price may be right. What has your experience been with it? Also, along these lines, I was considering downloading and installing the eval version of SCVMM. I thought I could use that to virtualize these servers, but my manager was concerned that once the eval expired the VHD's would expire as well causing the VM's not to boot.

Re: Windows 2008 Trial License to Volume License
My understanding is that CDW is correct. We were trying to do something similar here, downloading the trial edition and then using the Volume License key rather than the trial key. It wouldn't work. We had to figure out who we had to talk to about getting access to the volume license site and download the appropriate software (Win 2k8) and then reinstall over top. In our case we hadn't installed any services on the boxes yet b/c we wanted to get the licensing correct first. So, while it wasn't a problem for us, I can't promise you that it will not impact your environment. If you have a spare box you could load up the box, move the services off, reinstall the OS on the original box, and then move the services back.

We have a couple of servers that have been installed using the Windows 2008 trial copy that is available for download from Microsoft. This enabled the company to get the servers up and running as they would like. Now they have gone ahead and purchase volume licenses (eOpen), and would like to apply these licenses to these servers. When we try to add the license key to the servers, it ends up failing as an invalid key. After speaking with the rep from CDW, they stated, that since it was a trial media and not volume media, we will need to do a in place upgrade to get the licenses in place and activated.Now these servers are the production BES and Transport exchange servers, so I'm a little leery about doing this upgrade. Anyone know of a better way to get the license key updated, or what are the thoughts on doing this in place upgrade? Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Re: My OS is better than your OS
I haven't messed around with Windows 7 yet, but I'm pretty sure the UAC isn't going away. And I don't think you can blame the application compatibility completely on Microsoft. And certainly not the lack of drivers. Why is that not the vendors' fault for getting them out within a reasonable time frame? It seems to me that all we're really getting with Windows 7 is Vista SP3 or R2. You're getting a renamed OS due to bad press and agressive marketing by Mac.
