@dbeato said in Exchange Database and User Login Report Marriage:

@Texkonc So you don't need the Mailbox status and all that? I just don't understand that requirement?

Yes I do, but I also need these other attributes.

@DustinB3403 said in Veeam Licenses Quandry:

If you aren't sticking with Hyper-V, what are you considering? ESXi, KVM, XCP-ng, Scale? This could have an impact if you need Veeam at all.

Scale is on the list for sure.

After I finish the damage control or real accounts getting nuked, I am going to test that theory. but I have a 90% hunch.

@Texkonc eww, that sounds like no fun.

My money is on SC getting confused and accepting some changes and push out some old ones.

Yeah after my limited experience with this, not sure I would ever trust using a non-DELL drive.

At least on a production system.

@texkonc said in Import New-PublicFolder -Name in bulk:

Long story short, the previous guy left no documentation. I did find his template file however. Now I just the EMC shell syntax.
We have public folder data to add.
For example I have 95 lines of this just for this one year in a CSV.
New-PublicFolder -Name 910002 -Path \Projects\1991
New-PublicFolder -Name 910007 -Path \Projects\1991
New-PublicFolder -Name 910008 -Path \Projects\1991
New-PublicFolder -Name 910009 -Path \Projects\1991
New-PublicFolder -Name 910010 -Path \Projects\1991
New-PublicFolder -Name 910011 -Path \Projects\1991
New-PublicFolder -Name 910012 -Path \Projects\1991
New-PublicFolder -Name 910013 -Path \Projects\1991
New-PublicFolder -Name 910014 -Path \Projects\1991

Looking at this, it doesn't show how I could use a CSV instead of manually typing it in.

I have 8 years to add like this. So I know he did it, I just have no idea what syntax he used to have Exchange shell grab from the CSV.

$myData=import-csv -Path "C:\Path\to\my\file.csv" foreach ($line in $myData) { New-PublicFolder -Name $line.NewFolderName -Path "\Projects\$($line.projectYear)" }

In the above examplethe CSV file would have a column named "NewFolderName" and another column named Project Year

(It can have other info, it only gets used if you need it)

This points to the same place that others have pointed out, but seems to have two values 4 and 900, I'm assuming it's to set the type.

-confirm:$false did the trick. Adding to each line, thanks!

Creating them as a resource seems like it will be the better move going forward. Public Folder support in o365 has been sketchy at best. Even with resources, you may have to drill in using powershell to change some of the options, but it works.

Logged into old profile and looked at the recovery details. But strange it only worked correctly for some

Count me in.

@dbeato said in Using DFSRMIG to move to from FRS to DFSR for Sysvol:

@texkonc Seize the FSMo Roles (If any) from the old AD DCs and then as @JaredBusch cleanup AD.

Roles were cleanly moved before shutdown. No seizing necessary.

@Texkonc said in OSX and PPTP:

If you are a windows shop with RRAS and you have OSX endpoints, prepare for Doom!

RRAS was "never use PPTP" with Windows 2000. It's only an issue for shops set up before 1999.

For the Over the Air piece I built a Zbox media center computer with Windows 7 and Media Center on it and a USB TV tuner hooked to an antenna. I bought a media center remote and that setup worked pretty good. At the time I tried XBMC, but at the end of the day it was easier for me to get everything running under Windows.

If you tag everything correctly, you could use ML as your platform - https://mangolassi.it/tags/networknerd blog. I haven't written as many as I would like, but hopefully the ones I have are helpful to others.

Actually I am all for that idea 🙂

All our blog are belong to you?

Something like that. Free Content!!!
