en Passant not letting life just pass on by

I am working on a project to recover 30 individual days of email from a clients mailbox. This requires me to restore 30 days worth of backups to the Recovery Storage Group(RSG) on a specific server. I have quickly grown tired of selecting the name from the giant Exmerge list and worked out how to use a batch file to run Exmerge against the RSG.

Working on network workstations, I found I needed a method to tell when they came online. I wanted a script to email me so I could receive it on my PDA when the connection worked. This way I could be working in the wiring cabinet and hear it successfully connect.

Tired of searching through racks and racks of servers to not find what your looking for?

Tired of having to run back to your desk to remote into that server to insert a CD?

Utilizing the power of PSExec, you can eject the CD drive remotely without having to leave your comfy desk.


@echo off
if "%1"=="" goto end
echo Starting process to eject the CD on %1
psexec \\%1 -c "\\yourworkstationname\script$\ejectcd.exe"
:end
