I am trying to create a template in ESX that I can automate with PowerCLI. Everything works great so far, but because I have some specific settings, I had to create my own sysprep.inf. Now, the computername and the VM guest name are out of synch. I need to automate this for a sandbox enviornment, so I will constantly be deleting and rebuilding boxes. Thus, I need the VMhost name and the computername to be the same. Am I missing something?
I will preface this, with the truth that I know little about Macs :-)
I am trying to workout a way to block application installations (or executions) on Macs. We have a subset of executive users (meaning they "need" root on the box) who have Macs. However, the are installing applications like Skpe, that break our Corporate Policies. Does anyone know of a software to manage this? Preferably Open Source.
All, we are working creating a shared secret library in Sharepoint. basically the idea being, a user fills out a "Shared Secret" infopath form (AKA "What is your highschool mascot") and then that form is sent to a secure library that only the helpdesk can read. Currently it looks like our sharepoint admin doesn't know how to create a secured library. Has anyone done anything similar in sharepoint? Or does anyone know of some good tutorials for creating something like this?
I've been using the Striving Life website for his IIS FTP LogParser 2.2 queries. My only issue is that I can't seem to combine the two queries that bring back both successful login AND their account name. Can anyone help?
This brings back the users that have logged in
logparser "select cs-uri-stem, count(cs-method) from ex*.log where cs-method like '%USER' group by cs-uri-stem order by count(cs-method),cs-uri-stem"
This brings back all of the successful logins by IP
logparser "select c-ip, count(sc-status) from ex*.log where sc-status = '230' group by c-ip order by count(sc-status),c-ip"
As I said, I would like to have the best of both worlds. Thanks ahead of time!
We have had our Nagios installation up for a year, and we are now required to give some statistics on how much it has worked and what it has done in the environment. As such, I was wondering if anyone knows if Nagios also holds data records on how many alerts and notifications it sends out? I am not necessarily looking for reports on what it alerted on, but just some raw statistics for a powerpoint.
TL:DR
Can I extract how many notifications and alerts Nagios has produced in it's existence or between certain dates?
We are currently having some issues transferring large files (100-800 GB) from one Windows 2003 server to another. They are all virtualized and on SAN partitions so we are trying to narrow down the gap between Networking, ESX, or SAN. Preliminary testing does not indicate Network performance, so we are moving on to testing write/read speeds of the SAN partitions by the OS. My question is this:
- Does anyone have a good windows tool or CLI command to test read/write on a partition?
My network Admin asked me if I had heard of any opensource competitor to Ciscoworks and Solarwinds for Network Administration/Management. We have a full implementation of Cacti and Nagios for monitoring, but I haven't really delved much into the realm of Cisco/Checkpoint/HP procurve management. Anyone use anything that fits the bill?
