Powershell 2.0 on Win 7 / 2008 R2

Is there a better way to non-recursively return the contents of just files
from a particular directory than the following:
** **
get-childitem c:\some\directory | where{!$_.PsIsContainer}
** **
?
** **
I only want the file contents of c:\some\directory. If there are
subdirectories, with or without contents, I don't want them or their
contents in the output. I've tested this and it seems to work, but I've
seen some Interweb posts talking about flaky behavior in get-childitem, so
I thought I'd ask.

Automatic private IP addressing (normally it is that 169… address you get when something is wrong with your networking) We are doing this using the alternative configuration tab under ipv4 properties that is enabled when you select DHCP. I’d like to be able to script this process and not do every computer in the office by hand. We’d like to use apipa to assign a static IP address to the wifi adapters; so that we can turn off DHCP in the office, and yet allow DHCP when not in the office. Thanks.

Re: Semi-OT: Vsphere shutdown
Thanks John, Robert and Kurt. I've got a full plan for how to go about the shutdown and restart. One physical DC will be the last to shutdown and the first to power up.

Re: Semi-OT: Vsphere shutdown
Thanks, Steven. We're a small shop and the team is one other person and me. We had our meeting to go through everything yesterday. I've already created the plan of attack and written out configs for devices to my PC and a USB stick. The SQL DBA says his db backups are OK and he's ready. The only parts I'm deeply worried about are our HP blade chassis and EVA SAN. There shouldn't be any issues, but they were installed during a period when I did not work at the company and I have never gone through the shutdown procedure for them. The procedure itself seems straightforward enough, but those spindles have been going for about 4.5 years and it could mean a lot of restore time if more than two in any disk group decide that they don't want to spin up again.

Re: Seagate STAR401 BlackArmor NAS 400
I have no experience with the Seagate NASes either.

I set up a small FreeBSD machine to serve IP addresses via DHCP, and that was dead simple. It is a layer2 VLAN, traversing our backbone, and terminating on our corporate firewall. However, there are now other tenants in our building, and the subnet is getting too much bandwidth and address consumption - the range I set up is completely filled, and the VLAN is consuming about half of our Internet pipe, which is far too much for my comfort. I suspect the other tenants are leeching. What I've read of captive portals seems to indicate that the portal is part of the firewall. I could be wrong about that, though. Regardless, the corporate firewall will not be allowed to be part of this solution. The only other alternative I see right now is to set up a password on the SSID, and have the front desk hand it out to guests, after mailing it to staff, and I'm getting pushback on that from my manager. Does anyone have some ideas I could pursue on this?

Re: OT: Speaking of Barracuda...
The Barracuda tech wrote back a while ago and informed that the behavior I'm seeing is indeed part of their intent scanning methodology. What kind of freaked me out initially, and alerted me to what is going on, was that last Friday my UTM firewall blocked the spam filter from downloading what the firewall deemed a virus. I thought, WTF is my spam filter doing downloading binary content from somewhere other than Barracuda? That's what precipitated this whole thing. So, the official word is that it's much ado about nothing. Pretty much what I expected, but I was a little concerned because I couldn't find any similar documentation out on the intertubez. Thanks to all who responded.

Re: Linksys exploit - what does this mean to my remote users?
Well, it looks to me like they've figured out how to get a root shell open on various Linksys routers. What that means, essentially, is that the attacker can make that little Internet-connected computer do pretty much whatever he or she wants it to do. Packet capture and forwarding of all your Internet traffic to an external server, spamming, you name it and it's theoretically possible. What isn't clear (at least to me) is whether the attack is successful from the outside. The demo is from the LAN.

To: sa...@samba.org, samba-techni...@samba.org, samba-annou...@samba.org Cc: j...@samba.org Samba Team Releases Samba 4.0 = December 11th 2012. The Samba Team is proud to announce the release of Samba 4.0, a major new release of the award-winning Free Software file, print and authentication server suite for Microsoft Windows clients. The First Free Software Active Directory Compatible Server == As the culmination of ten years' work, the Samba Team has created the first compatible Free Software implementation of Microsoft’s Active Directory protocols. Familiar to all network administrators, the Active Directory protocols are the heart of modern directory service implementations. Samba 4.0 comprises an LDAP directory server, Heimdal Kerberos authentication server, a secure Dynamic DNS server, and implementations of all necessary remote procedure calls for Active Directory. Samba 4.0 provides everything needed to serve as an Active Directory Compatible Domain Controller for all versions of Microsoft Windows clients currently supported by Microsoft, including the recently released Windows 8. The Samba 4.0 Active Directory Compatible Server provides support for features such as Group Policy, Roaming Profiles, Windows Administration tools and integrates with Microsoft Exchange and Free Software compatible services such as OpenChange. The Samba 4.0 Active Directory Compatible Server can also be joined to an existing Microsoft Active Directory domain, and Microsoft Active Directory Domain Controllers can be joined to a Samba 4.0 Active Directory Compatible Server, showing true peer-to-peer interoperability of the Microsoft and Samba implementations of the Active Directory protocols. Acknowledging the value of the interoperability of the Samba 4.0 Active Directory Compatible Server, Steve van Maanen, the co-founder of Starsphere LLC, an IT services company in Tokyo, said: Thanks to Samba4, I have two fully replicating Active Directory Domain controllers that boot in under 10 seconds ! It is nice to have alternatives, and Samba4 is a great one. Upgrade scripts are also provided for organizations using the previous Microsoft Windows NT Domain Controller functionality in Samba 3.x, to allow them to migrate smoothly to Samba 4.0. Suitable for low-power and embedded applications, yet scaling to large clusters, Samba 4.0 is efficient and flexible. Its Python programming interface and administration toolkit help in enterprise deployments. Created Using Microsoft Documentation = The Samba 4.0 Active Directory Compatible Server was created with help from the official protocol documentation published by Microsoft Corporation and the Samba Team would like acknowledge the documentation help and interoperability testing by Microsoft engineers that made our implementation interoperable. Active Directory is a mainstay of enterprise IT environments, and

Re: Quick Sonicwall Question
I don't think that will work transparently, but I haven't ever tried anything like that. I think the SonicWall can differentiate between an account is authenticated via the SSO agent and one that is authenticated locally. Even if the account name is the same in each directory, the user will have to authenticate against the firewall somehow to experience the benefit of the dedicated filtering policy. What I did is create a generic local account called 'bypass' that bypasses all content filtering. All of my users know the associated password and can use it when running across a blocked site. The local login time is set to 30 minutes when using that account (quite lengthy, I'll admit), so eventually they go back to 'being themselves' instead of 'bypass'. That may not be an appropriate solution for your org, but it has worked pretty well for us. Anyone can bypass the filter, but they rarely do unless they need to. Having to positively input credentials, even generic ones, goes miles toward preventing unwanted Internet activity. And I work for a very small org., there's only 2 of us in IT, etc., etc., etc. On Fri, Sep 14, 2012 at 2:21 PM, James Kerr cluster...@gmail.com wrote: Heh guys, In other words, I doubt it. But, I haven't ever tried it. I know there are more then a few of you on here with Sonicwall firewalls and maybe you can answer my question. As far as content filter polices go, will local user policies override local groups? For example, if I have an AD security group that is assigned a certain policy but I have one user that's in the group that needs a different policy then the others can I just import his account into local users and assign that user the policy I want?

Re: Windows InTune
Which, apropos of nothing, reminds me of a recent conversation with the boss. We were talking about our virtualization infrastructure since our VMware licenses are up for renewal at the end of this month. He asked me if we should go with MS and the newest version of Hyper-V on Server 2012 instead of VMware. Long story short, I can't get a conversion done in a week, and Server 2012 isn't going to be generally available until September 4th anyway, so it's a non-starter for the moment. Next year, however... The question I have is how in the heck do I compare the direct costs of licensing ESX(i) and Hyper-V 2012. Obviously I know my annual VMware costs, and I think the Hyper-V bits are actually 'free'[1] in that they are baked into the OS, but it's the System Center licensing that I really don't understand. SCVMM? SCThis? SCThat? SCEssentials? SCWTF_Do_I really_need? If there is a concise guide out there about licensing this stuff for a pure Hyper-V-only environment, I would definitely appreciate a pointer. Thanks, as always, RS [1] I've got current VL versions of Server 2012 Datacenter that I could/will use if moving away from VMware. On Thu, Aug 23, 2012 at 10:50 PM, Michael B.

This is very similar to a situation I experienced the other day. It's all in a thread over on the Exchange list (Exchange 2010 AD Topology service weirdness). Unfortunately, I don't have a resolution for you.

Overview Microsoft Security Advisory (2719615) warns of active attacks using a vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services. Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office can be used as attack vectors. Description Microsoft Security Advisory (2719615), a Google Online Security blog post, Sophos, and other sources report active attacks exploiting a vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services (CVE-2012-1889). Attack scenarios involve exploits served by compromised web sites and delivered in Office documents. Reliable public exploit code is available, and attacks may become more widespread. Impact By convincing a victim to view a specially crafted web page or Office document, an attacker could execute arbitrary code and take any action as the victim. Solution As of June 22, 2012, a comprehensive update is not available. Consider the following workarounds. Apply Fix it Apply the Fix it solution described in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 2719615. This solution uses the Application Compatibility Database feature to make runtime modifications to XML Core Services to patch the vulnerability. Disable scripting Configure Internet Explorer to disable Active Scripting in the Internet and Local intranet zones as described in Microsoft Security Advisory (2719615). See also Securing Your Web Browser. Use the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) EMET is a utility to configure Windows runtime mitigation features such as Data Execution Prevention (DEP), Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), and Structured Exception Handler Overwrite Protection (SEHOP). These features, particularly the combination of system-wide DEP and ASLR, make it more difficult for an attacker to successfully exploit a vulnerability.

Re: Looking to grab this info at login
The school I volunteer for is an NWEA client. David, something to keep in mind is that not all schools have the ability to deploy login scripts administratively because they use workgroups instead of some type of domain. More to the point of how this thread is going, I wonder if what they're looking for isn't some gross measure of connectivity to the server delivering the tests. The product we use (MAP) is run from a file share on the LAN. The clients just have a shortcut to the executable on the server. Ping times to the test server and NIC link speed might be useful for some very basic troubleshooting or perhaps collecting statistics about how clients are deploying the tests. On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 10:17 AM, Kurt Buff kurt.b...@gmail.com wrote: Good stuff, but there's a big problem with #6... Getting anything like an accurate measurement of bandwidth or ping response times is going to be very time consuming, relative to what people want to see for logins. For instance, a single ping is going to be less than useless for measurement, because a first ping response is very likely to be slow or missing after first turning on the machine. Worse, if more than a couple of machines are being turned on at the same time, it's likely, depending on the environment, that the network will be much more saturated than during normal operations. Because bandwidth is so time-dependent, you'll need to take these measurements over time, and a login script just isn't the place to do this.

Re: Machine name with $ sign as username
In addition to the excellent responses already given, please note that the phrase Small Business Server 2003 machine that is not our domain controller doesn't make any sense in the context of SBS 2003, at least from what I remember about it. I think SBS 2003 must hold all FSMO roles for what is limited to a single domain forest, so by definition it has to be a domain controller. You can have additional DCs, but the SBS machine should be a DC unless you're running an unsupported configuration.

Also in terms of 64 bit machines and 32 Bit. All running Windows 7 Enterprise. As a general rule, I prefer to stick with drivers that come in the box with Windows. They tend to play well with others, offer a more consistent UI, be reasonably self-contained, be reasonably lightweight, they never install any kind of weird service or startup task, and generally just work better. The drawback is, they also tend to lack support for many more advanced printer features. On the third hand, most people never use those features, so they may not be missed. Are people use the HP Printer Admin Tools, or just a simple Windows Print Server, with shared pritners??? The later. For inventory and asset management purposes, we keep track of our ~20 printers using an Excel spreadsheet. If we had a few hundred, I'd probabbly invest in some kind of software tool. I have a Linux shell script that dumps page counts to a text log every month, so I can check usage history if needed. How should I appoarch network printing. We configure each printer to do raw TCP printing (port 9100), and configure a corresponding Windows spooler port. We then configure a printer object on Windows, loading all needed drivers. Client PCs all print through the one Windows print server. We disable all the other protocols/services/etc on the printers themselves. As of late, I been having issues with 4100 and 4350 Universal printer drivers not printing correctly PDFS or even simple word / emails. I think my opinions on HP's drivers are well known at this point. :-) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin

Re: In case anyone didn't see this on the Patch Management list...
This is the same RDP vulnerability that EZ (I think it was EZ) posted the other day, right? IIRC, you're not vulnerable unless you expose a server to RDP connections directly through your firewall. If you don't do that, then your risk is essentially nil since the it isn't exploitable through RD Gateway. Or am I not remembering correctly?

Re: OT Unable to add drives to RAID set
That card looks like a 4 port card. If your existing drives are all connected to it, you're already maxed out. Given that, my guess it that the drive slots likely don't have power. I have no idea what kind of backplane that case has. Did buy this box pre-assembled, or put it together yourself? Also one comment. If recent history is any indication, you might want to put a name to your e-mail address.
