Have you installed vSphere with SQL Express and found that the database is nearly full? Did you think using SQL Express 2008 R2 would be fine because it has a 10GB database size limit, but found out it wasn’t? Well you have come to the right place. Let me show you how you can get Continue reading vSphere filling up SQL Express Database I’ve been working on the host configuration script as I do ESXi upgrades and installs for clients. I wrote a deconstruction of an AD script that has been very popular so I thought I would write another one. The first thing that the script does is gather information to setup the host. It will ask Continue reading ESXi Host Configuration Script – Deconstruction I passed the BCNE Exam on Thursday. I got the shiny PDF certificate on Friday, I may print it off one day… I have been doing more switch config over the last while, mostly related to storage, it is nice to have a current designation that reflects that. I’ve completed the migration of my site to EC2. It was with BlueHost. BlueHost did a sufficient job, but I found my site to be slow, primarily on the WP-Admin side. I set myself a decent challenge, get a Linux micro-instance configured for speed, move WordPress and make the whole thing better. I can say Continue reading Migration to EC2 When I was writing my script to get all AD users’ last logon times I was having an issue with changing the date output format. I posted my question and the version of the script I had at the time to the PowerGUI.org forums. I got an excellent suggestion from Jonathan Tyler and was able Continue reading Script deconstruction – Get all AD users’ last logon time I wrote a script to get the last time each computer logged into the domain. ##============================================================================== ##============================================================================== ## SCRIPT………: Get-AllComputerLastLogon ## AUTHOR………: Clint McGuire ## EMAIL……….: ## VERSION……..: 1 ## DATE………..: 2011_05_26 ## COPYRIGHT……: 2011, Clint McGuire ## LICENSE……..: ## REQUIREMENTS…: Powershell v2.0, Quest AD Cmdlets ## DESCRIPTION….: Gets all computer accounts’ last logon times Continue reading Powershell script to get all computers last logon time I wanted to see when all users in a client’s domain last logged in.

It was time to upgrade to ESXi 4.1 U1 and I didn’t want to run through configuring all the VM Hosts manually. This script will need to be customized for your environment. It prompts Continue reading ESXi 4.1 U1 Host Configuration Script I recently setup a new Citrix environment for a client. I wasn’t able to find a good setup guide for the Citrix Access Gateway, so I thought I would write one. The initial setup of the CAG is straightforward. Citrix has a video for the VPX setup, the physical appliance setup is similar. Once the Continue reading How to setup Citrix Access Gateway 5.0 with Active Directory One of my clients was having issues w/ BES after the Exchange server was rebooted. Aaron at work wrote a couple batch files to stop and start the services in the correct order. I’ve re-written the scripts in PowerShell below. I was hoping to use “Get-Service BES*” and piping it to Stop-Service and Start-Service, but Continue reading Restart BES 4.1.X services with PowerShell | ||||
