My daughter is the red-head at the far right. My favorite part is when they do the large loop... if you watch closely, my daughter is the only one that does the spin before going around...
One of my current projects is helping with the removal of a legacy DNS server. I am reviewing Wireshark logs to determine which devices are statically set to utilize the old DNS servers. These devices range from servers and workstations to printers, digital senders and ILO servers. Each device should be logged into, and updated with the new DNS server IP address.
I have been working on a number of projects lately where I need to touch most of the servers in our environment; be it changing DNS servers, or querying event logs, I needed a way to get every live server out there.
The attached script will query AD for all servers, then if pingable, it will attempt to gather more info via WMI. The final result is output to a CSV file in the C:\ root of the local computer.
Server name

Last Service Pack # applied (not patch version)
MAC Address, IP and DNS configuration for each active NIC
Yesterday, a woman (who wishes to remain anonymous) was the first person ticketed for driving while eating. She had just bought a cheeseburger in the drive-thru lane at In-n-Out Burger. Officer Smith pulled her over for reckless driving when he stopped our driver leaving the establishment, maintaining control of the car with her knees and holding the burger in one hand and tring to get a sip of her chocolate shake.
In an IT group that I belong to, someone asked for predictions for the industry in 2008. I responded with a list of my top 5 predictions for 2008. For your consideration, here is my list of predictions along with a short description of why I think so.
This last year has seen a lot of changes in our household. We started 2007 with a wonderful Monterey vacation only to return to a pink slip. I then spent the next 7 months hopping between one short term contract position to another. August I started a long-term contract that I have been enjoying.
Expanding on my code to query single printer information, I found I could pull all networked printers from Active Directory(AD). This will help in cleaning up the naming standard for all our printers. Hopefully making DNS cleaner by using a single standard for host(A) records. Final file is written to c:\printer-info.csv. The attached script will return the following:
We recently finished a project updating the naming standard for all our Windows AD accounts. Once completed, I found that approximately 3% of the accounts had the alias field set to this old naming standard. Googled high-and-low, I could not find a simple script to set the alias field. So...
