On a Windows7 machine I am trying I can run a query to view all the scheduled tasks using schtasks.exe

This is fine but I would also like to filter the result set using something like

schtasks /query | where { $_.TaskName -eq "myTask" } 

The problem is I don't this schtasks returns a properly formatted list for the where function to work.

I've also tried:

schtasks /query /FO LIST
schtasks /query | format-list | where ....

those don't work either.

What would be the best way to query the schtasks on a local computer using Win7 and be able to filter them

Is it possible to use powershell to determine if/when the antivirus was last updated on a Win7 or Win2008 Server machine?

Am I missing something here? I am trying to configure Classic ASP on Windows 2008 Server SP1 and all the documentation points to an ASP option in the features view of IIS7.

I've got IIS7 open, Classic ASP is enabled but for the life of me I can't find a ASP option in the Features view.

Trying to work out the process of enabling SMTP server on a Windows 2008 Server. I've enabled the SMTP feature within the Server Manager but I don't see where to configure it.

Walk throughs appreciated.

Is it possible to run VMware player as a Windows Service so that a user does not have to be logged in to have the player running?

we want to set up 2 VMs (01 & 02) as primary license managers (L/M) and then clone them for local office WAN failure backup purposes. All clients across the network would point to the primary 01 & 02 L/M's and then in the event of a WAN failure, we would fire up the local "offline" clones with the same names as the primaries which would allow for local clients to continue working and then shut down the clones when the WAN connection was restore.

The clones have to be the same name and MAC address as the primaries for the license files to work.

Would there be a problem with the clones having the same name as the physical machine even though the actual machine cannot be reached because the WAN went down?

We currently have a small c# script that pulls a calendar appointment from Siebel OnDemand and mails it out to our users using smtp. This all worked before we migrated some users to Exchange 2007 this weekend. Now the .ics calendar file doesn't show up for those that have been migrated but still show up for those who haven't.

The Exchange team says there isn't a problem with our servers.

Has anyone seen this type of problem? Any solutions?

I would like to begin to upgrade my SOHO network to gigabit (from 10/100) and have heard a bit on Jumbo Frames.

What would be the best way to implement Jumbo Frames on a network? From what I can tell in order for it to work properly all network gear on the network must support Jumbo Frames. Is this true?

If I have specific gear (e.g. network printer) that cannot be updated to GB ethernet will this prevent me from enabling Jumbo Frames?

What are some of the gotcha's of enabling Jumbo Frames?

In an attempt to keep operating temperatures and fan noise down how can I clean out servers and desktops that have accumulated dust in their cases, heat sinks, and other crannies? Is there any way that I can slow the accumulation of dust in PCs on the shop floor? Bonus points for ways that keep server downtime to a minimum.
