As I posted previously, I am working on moving all of my websites to Azure. I started with the easiest one, which is a static page. So far, I have moved it, and it is now reachable via HTTPS, but not without the ‘www’. While that isn’t important for that particular site, it is important… Continue reading Let’s Encrypt
Skip the www (part 2)
Many moons ago, I figured out how to get my websites to be accessible without the www subdomain. When I recently moved one of my three websites to Azure, I didn’t immediately solve that problem. As the website isn’t ever visited and isn’t important, this isn’t an issue, but I do want to solve it… Continue reading Skip the www (part 2)
TWRAM
I currently own 3 domains, one of which you are visiting now. Another domain I own is much less useful, and really was the result of a joke. I have until now hosted it on a Windows Server, and wanted to move it to Azure. It isn’t a very complicated as it is just a… Continue reading TWRAM
What is this CI/CD thing? Let’s do a tutorial!
Well, according to Wikipedia, CI/CD is: In software engineering, CI/CD or CICD generally refers to the combined practices of continuous integration and either continuous delivery or continuous deployment. CI/CD bridges the gaps between development and operation activities and teams by enforcing automation in building, testing and deployment of applications. So, of course I get what… Continue reading What is this CI/CD thing? Let’s do a tutorial!
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
