Revisiting my Blog

I have spent a decent amount of time over the years, trying to convince myself to spend some time on my blog.  I have updated the OS of the VM that runs it.  I have migrated from whatever platform I started on (I think I had two different ones going at one point.) I have… Continue reading Revisiting my Blog

Pull DHCP info using PowerShell

This short script will get all the DHCP servers authorized in your Windows domain, and pull all the scopes and IPs. It exports these to two separate CSV files. $DHCPServers = Get-DhcpServerInDC If (Test-Path -Path $env:TEMP\Scopes.csv) {Remove-Item $env:TEMP\Scopes.csv} If (Test-Path -Path $env:TEMP\Leases.csv) {Remove-Item $env:TEMP\Leases.csv} If (Test-Path -Path $env:TEMP\Leases.csv) {Remove-Item $env:TEMP\DNSExport.csv} foreach ($_ In $DHCPServers) {… Continue reading Pull DHCP info using PowerShell

DNS PowerShell one liner

This is a “one liner” that pulls all the DNS Entries for a particular zone, including the IPv4 and IPv6.  If you don’t care about the IPv6, you can remove that segment of the code. Get-DnsServerResourceRecord –ComputerName <DNSServerName> –ZoneName <YourZoneName> | Select-Object DistinguishedName,HostName,@{Name=’IPv4Address’;Expression={$_.RecordData.IPv4Address.IPAddressToString}},@{Name=’IPv6Address’;Expression={$_.RecordData.IPv6Address.IPAddressToString}},RecordType,Timestamp,TimeToLive | Export-Csv $env:TEMP\DNSExport.csv –NoTypeInformation It is amazing how much you can do… Continue reading DNS PowerShell one liner

Still not there

A while back, I said I was making progress on migrating this blog to Azure.  In case you care, I didn’t. I was really interested in doing so for a little while, but got busy on other things, and … lost interest.  I am interested again, so maybe this time I will make it. The… Continue reading Still not there

Strange Reboots

This isn’t going to be a terribly helpful post, but I do think it is interesting.  I have a server that is exhibiting some strange behavior.  When I copy a file to the server it reboots.  At first, I thought this was a specific file, but later determined that it didn’t matter what the file… Continue reading Strange Reboots

StorSimple Virtual Array

I really like Microsoft.  As a company, they don’t always do things the way I would like them to, but overall, they make products that meet a need. We operate in a (mostly) centralized infrastructure.  Our file servers are (mostly) in our main office.  I have a few virtualized StorSimple appliances that I use in… Continue reading StorSimple Virtual Array

Back Up!

So after several months of not being accessible, my blog is once again available.  I know that there are thousands of people (or maybe just me) that missed my blog while it was down.  So I would like to have some grand reason for being down so long, but the simple fact is, we made… Continue reading Back Up!
