bsigrist's questions

I am working on my Office 365 Exchange instance with Powershell and am having trouble with a command that I know I've run successfully in the past. I have broken this command down into its sub pieces and run them all fine on their own but just cannot seem to make this ForEach loop work. What might I be missing here?

PS C:\Users\bsigrist> ForEach ($Mailbox in (Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox)) 
{ $cal = $Mailbox.alias+":\Calendar" Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity $cal 
  -User Default -AccessRights LimitedDetails }

        At line:1 char:108
        + ... cal = $Mailbox.alias+":\Calendar" Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identi ...
        +                                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        Unexpected token 'Set-MailboxFolderPermission' in expression or statement.

I am just beginning to use PS Remoting to administer servers but have run into a snag. When I am at the local server command line, I can run a command like

Get-DfsReplicationGroup

and the prompt returns back a list of my DFS Replication Groups. However, when I am in a remote PSSession to the same server, and run the same command, I receive an error

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: args
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-DfsReplicationGroup], ArgumentNullException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentNullException,Microsoft.DistributedFileSystemReplication.Commands.GetDfsR
   eplicationGroupCommand

I have tried entering a remote session from not only Windows 10 but also from another Server 2012 R2 machine that has the same roles installed. It seems like somehow the command is operating differently depending on where it originates. The remote session appears to be working for other commands (I can change directories, create and delete files okay).

I set up my remote PSSession by:

$cred = Get-Credential
Enter-PSSession Server1 -Credential $cred

What am I missing in my remote-session setup?

I can't seem to find if there is a traceroute command for VXworks online or specifically with a Shoretel phone. Once I telnet into the phone, I would like the ability to see whether packets from my VPN phones are taking the correct path back to my switch.

Our Shoretel 230 phones are not picking up time service correctly and thus, the time on the display is wrong. When I go to the diagnostics of the phone, they are using a wrong time server (old).

Here is the top scope of my dhcpd.conf. The instructions for Shoretel only are given for using Windows Server DHCP server - but I have found others online that have used dhcpd for use with Shoretel phones. The phones pick up the ftp server just fine - but don't seem to grab the NTP server. Any clues below to what I might have configured wrong?

ddns-update-style none;
deny bootp;
authoritative;
option wpad code 252 = text;
option ntp-servers 199.4.29.166, 38.229.71.1, 204.235.61.9, 72.20.40.62;
option shoretel-server code 156 = string;
option shoretel-server "ftpservers=192.168.**.***";

A branch office is about to move to a new office with possibly zero enclosed storage space. The technology resources we need to relocate include:

• Mid-tower server (file server)
• 24 port switch
• (2) small router/firewalls
• wiring termination/patch panel
• UPS

The main concerns are keeping this equipment out of sight for aesthetic reasons, noise and keeping the equipment cool enough to operate. Are there any freestanding cabinets that would fit this equipment and the requirements? The less expensive the better. Are there any other solutions that I am not be thinking of?

We are considering a change of email servers and Kerio Connect is attractive. However, I am concerned about calendaring functionality. I found an old forum post that states the question well:

"We want to create a single public calendar that everyone can see - using Windows XP/Outlook 2003/KOC 6.4.1. We want a way for people to put an entry in their own personal calendar and some how mark it so the entry auto add's or syncs with the public one. If an entry is private it wouldn't sync to the shared public calendar...

Has anyone ever heard of a way to do this - in any way with any software?"

This is a high priority feature, so if Kerio cannot do this, we may consider Exchange. Does Exchange provide functionality like that described?

I am working with local storage repositories on an installation of XenServer and I am trying to use the UUID to delete a SR made in error. When I look at the disks by-id here is the output:

[root@xenser111 lib]# ls -l /dev/disk/by-id

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 19 04:32 scsi-SATA_SAMSUNG_HD103SJS2AEJ1BZ502653-part1 -> ../../sdb1

However, when I look at the disks by-uuid, it does not show /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc:

[root@xenser111 lib]# ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 16 09:02 b1341321-038d-43e6-a194-0c3598f47152 -> ../../sda1

Why is this happening? Do I have to enact some command to populate the by-uuid directory? And how else can I find the UUID? (I have also used blkid to no use).

If it is relevant, /sda is a RAID 0.
