get-exchangeserverplus.ps1 v1.3

by ucinfo, posted in Flaphead, MsExchange, Powershell

So after the release of Rollup Update 5, wouldn’t it be nice if you could run a simple PowerShell script to check all your exchange servers and see what Rollup they have applied

 Well now you can ;-) get-exchangeserverplus.ps1

It runs get-exchangeserver and enumerates a servers registry for the installation key and lists it out. 

New to v1.3, is that it displays cluster nodes now too ;-)

ooops. received this on friday

Subject: Important information about your UKreg account
  
We are writing to inform you that we have recently discovered evidence of a network intrusion involving a Fasthosts server. We have reason to believe that the intruder has gained access to our internal systems, and that this may have in turn given them access to your username and some service passwords.

We have since closed the vulnerability through which access was gained, and have taken steps to ensure that this cannot happen again.
We therefore recommend, as a precaution, that you now change the control panel login password on your account.

This can be changed within your control panel and further details on how to change your password can also be found in the support section of our website.

We strongly recommend that you choose a secure password so that it cannot easily be guessed. The password should include the following:

  • It should be a minimum of 8 characters long
  • It should contain an upper case and a lower case letter
  • It should also contain at least one number (numeric)

We recognise that this may cause some inconvenience and concern, and for that we sincerely apologise. Please be assured that your account security is extremely important to us, and we have taken every step possible to secure your information against any future intrusion attempts.

Exchange 2007: Setup /NewProvisionedServer

by ucinfo, posted in Flaphead, MsExchange, Powershell

So I have been having some fun this setup switch and wanted to share some stuff with you …. so if your Exchange 2007 organization contains many Exchange servers, it is possible that more than one person will be installing Exchange 2007. As a result, you might not want every person who will install Exchange 2007 to have the permissions assigned to the Exchange Organization Administrators role (even though that is the requirement for installing Exchange 2007).

Good news! There is a way around this: You can delegate setup. To delegate setup, you must first run Setup.com from a Command Prompt window with the /NewProvisionedServer parameter. This will not install Exchange 2007 on the server, but instead will create a placeholder object for the server in Active Directory and will add the machine account for this server to the Exchange Servers group.

Then you can add a user to the Exchange Server Administrator role for the server that you provisioned. Adding a user to the Exchange Server Administrator role will add the user’s account to the View-Only Administrator group and will set permissions on the placeholder server object in Active Directory so that the user account can install and administer Exchange 2007 on that server to install the first instance of each server role in an organization, you must use an account that has the permissions assigned to the Exchange Organization Administrator role. You cannot delegate setup of the first instance of a server role.

NB: Due to the way Windows PowerShell interprets ` you need to use a double “ for the group or user name that has a back tick in it!

setup.com /NewProvisionedServer: /ServerAdmin:

This is the all in one command. It will pre-provision an Exchange 2007 server and assign ServerAdmin rights to the connect group You need to logon to an Exchange 2007 server with an account that is a member of Exchange Organization Administrators

Insert the Exchange 2007 CD

Y:>setup.com /NewProvisionedServer: /ServerAdmin:

Welcome to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unattended Setup
Preparing Exchange Setup
No server roles will be installed
Performing Microsoft Exchange Server Prerequisite
Check Organization Checks ……………………. COMPLETED

Configuring Microsoft Exchange Server
Provisioning a new server ……………………. COMPLETED
The Microsoft Exchange Server setup operation completed successfully.

Check Point Once the setup operation has completed successfully, check to make ensure everything was setup properly.

I had an issue where a member of an allowed group would setup the server and it would fail at the end with this error:

Service ‘MSExchangeADTopology’ failed to start. Check the event log for possible reasons for the service start failure.

It turns out that the server was not a member of the Exchange Servers group, so after you have run setup.com /NewProvisionedServer: /ServerAdmin: check to make sure the server is in the Exchange Servers group.

You can use the Exchange management Shell to do this:

[PS] C:ps>get-group “Exchange Servers” | select members | fl

Members : {CAS01, PUB02, PUB01, M01NB, M01NA, HUB02, HUB01, MBX01, Exchange Install Domain Servers, MRS02}

Make sure the server you installed is in the list.

Next check to make sure the group specified is listed as an Exchange Server administrator of the server you just installed

You can check this in using the Exchange Management shell or the Exchange Management Console

[PS] C:ps>Get-ExchangeAdministrator

If the group you added is in the list then your are ready to have your ServerAdmins install the exchange server!

Planes, trains, automobiles and scarey passengers

by ucinfo, posted in Flaphead

So its friday night and we planned to go to edinburgh. We knew we had to drive back, so the plan was to fly from stansted with EasyJet.

It started okay with a train to Baker Street, and after a short wait an EasyBus to Stansted. This is where the trouble started. We booked a 2120 flight and thought we would have loads of time. Little did we know that the flight boards said our flight was delayed until, get this, 2315. If we totted up the total projected time, it would have been quicker to drive!!
This is my first and the last time I will ever fly easyJet.

Oh nearly forgot, scarey passengers, we sat down at the a gate next to a lady who thought halloween had come early … mind you, I didn’t see a broomstick!

UPDATE: We finally arrived at 0200 saturday morning

Zune fractures rib

by ucinfo, posted in Flaphead

Well sort of … I am waiting to find out .. so walking from the tube station this morning, I twisted my ankle, stumbled and then performed a perfect judo roll in the middle of the road (and I hadn’t even been drinking).

My ankle hurt a bit, but I can’t straighten my left arm and my ribs hurt in an area about the size of my zune, which was in my jacket pocket.

So off to A&E at the Royal London. I was assessed and had my xray within about 20mins which is excellent, but It has been an hour now waiting to be called by the Minor Injuries clinic.

The guy in xray said that is wasn’t really work xraying my ribs, as there is nothing they could really do, and with my elbow, all he thinks they will do is give me a sling! Great!! It also show how technology has moved on … no xray prints any more, they are all digital now.

What I should have done is call an ambulance, as they go right to the front of the queue!

I do respect the NHS and I know how hard the doctors and nurses work. This little experience just so the desperate need for more funding. They only have 8 bays in minor injuries, and the queue outside is getting bigger and bigger and next to noone is coming out.

I will update you on my progress once they get round to seeing me.

UPDATE: Just over two and a half hours since admission and I have a broken bone just above my elbow and bruises in the shape of a zune on my chest .. and a twisted ankle.

Its gonna take 6 weeks for bones to heal and I have a very fashionable arm sling accessory.

.. omatic

Been surfing today and found a whole load of Microsoft .. omatic utilities

Tweakomatic
 The Tweakomatic is a nifty new utility that writes scripts that allow you to retrieve and/or configure Windows and Internet Explorer settings. So what, you might ask. Well, think about it. Because these are WMI scripts, they can be used to configure settings on remote computers. Need to change something on a remote machine? Then haul out the Tweakomatic. And think about this: because the Tweakomatic writes scripts, you could do something like run these scripts as logon or logoff scripts. In other words, you could quickly, easily, and automatically configure settings on any or all the computers in your organization. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=bd328d1e-6c01-4447-bd7c-c09646d722c8&displaylang=en

ADSI Scriptomatic
 The ADSI Scriptomatic is designed to help you write ADSI scripts; that is, scripts that can be used to manage Active Directory. The ADSI Scriptomatic also teaches you an important point about ADSI scripting: like WMI, there are consistent patterns to ADSI scripts. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=39044e17-2490-487d-9a92-ce5dcd311228&DisplayLang=en

HTA Helpomatic
The HTA Helpomatic is a utility that helps script writers create HTML Applications (HTAs). HTAs enable you to provide a graphical user interface for your scripts, an interface that can include anything from list boxes to radio buttons to checkboxes. The HTA Helpomatic includes sample VBScript code and sample HTML code showing you how to do things like add a button to an HTA. Equally important, the Helpomatic also shows you how you can run a script any time that button is clicked. As an added bonus, the Helpomatic enables you to modify the scripts and HTML code and test those modifications in the utility itself. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=231D8143-F21B-4707-B583-AE7B9152E6D9&displaylang=en

Scriptomatic 2.0
A completely new version of the famous Scriptomatic, the utility that writes WMI scripts for you. (And, in the process, teaches you the fundamental concepts behind writing WMI scripts for yourself.) Unlike its predecessor, Scriptomatic 2.0 isn’t limited to writing just VBScript scripts; instead, Scriptomatic 2.0 can write scripts in Perl, Python, or JScript as well. In addition, Scriptomatic 2.0 gives you a host of new output formats to use when running scripts, including saving data as plain-text, as a stand-alone Web page, or even as XML. Scriptomatic 2.0 handles arrays, it converts dates to a more readable format, and it works with all the WMI classes on your computer; on top of all that, it also writes scripts that can be run against multiple machines. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=09dfc342-648b-4119-b7eb-783b0f7d1178&DisplayLang=en

EVENTS / WEBCASTS: October 2007

Friday, October 05, 2007: TechNet Webcast: Message Security, Active Protection, and Compliance with Exchange Server 2007 (Level 200)
This session covers three main topics. We start with a look at message hygiene. Your e-mail system is constantly being bombarded with unwanted messages, and as a messaging administrator, it is your job to prevent that. Next, we discuss messaging policies. Following recent accounting scandals and the global terrorism threat, governments and their agencies require organizations to store, and produce upon request, pertinent e-mail messages. Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 provides policies to achieve this goal with policies that are simple to set up and administer. Finally, we look at how messages can be made secure while in transit through your organization, between organizations, and across untrusted networks, such as the Internet.

Friday, October 26, 2007: TechNet Webcast: Exchange Server 2007 Client Access and Web Services (Level 200)
In this webcast, we explore Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Client Access Services. The overall goal of Client Access Services is to add value to the data in your inbox by enabling you to access that data from wherever you are. In addition to access from Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access (OWA), and mobile devices, we cover some new client access features introduced in Exchange Server 2007. We look at the various underlying components of Exchange Server 2007 Client Access Services and we describe improvements to calendaring functionality, the new Unified Messaging, Exchange Web Services, and programmatic access to messaging data. We conclude this webcast with a look at enhancements to Exchange Server ActiveSync.
