Noob question: I'm moving a domain to a new server. When I export the SSL Cert from IIS, does it remain active on the host? I just want to make sure the export process doesn't remove the certificate from our site before I'm ready.
I am supporting a legacy Paradox 4.5 for DOS system. Our users connect to a single terminal server (Windows Server 2003) to run Paradox. We frequently need to boot everyone out of the system. Our Paradox Admin will attach to each remote desktop session, log the user out of Paradox and logout of Windows.
I would like to automate this process.
Closing the DOS window without shutting down paradox can lead to data corruption. If I can send keystrokes to the app, I can shut it down gracefully.
1) How can I send keystrokes to an existing DOS window from Windows? I have seen vbscript examples and sendkeys but these seem to be used to control windows when the window's handle is available. I need to control a window that is already open.
2) Is it possible to automatically execute the keystroke send when remote desktop idle logoff is executed?
We had a situation recently where an elastic IP address assigned to a production server mysteriously became disassociated from that server. We have had this same thing happen in the past to other (fortunately, non-production) servers. We have several admins in the console, but no one is owning up to the mistake. Is there some way to audit AWS console activities?
The CEO wanted everyone in the company to view a 5 minute video. I signed up for a corporate account with Vimeo and hosted the video there. We sent out a global email with the link at 9:30 this morning. By 9:45, we received a dozen complaints of stuttering video, slow loads and failed loads. Vimeo performed fine, but everyone going through the corporate proxy had a problem. We have a 50Mb pipe from the ISP and 1200 employees at the corporate office plus 500 more worldwide.
How would you have handled this differently given our infrastructure?
I'm looking for practical answers, not just technical solutions. In the future, should we announce to small groups at different times? Host the video internally for the corporate office? Open to all suggestions.
