This is really good .. one to keep in the back of your mind!
In summary … When using an RSG to restore data, and the RSG is created on USB storage, you will need to restart the SERVER service to reinitialise any admin shares for the USB disk
A few days late, but oh baby baby ..

Dunno if you have seen these errors on an Exchange 2003 server ..
Event ID: 9646
Type: Error
Source: MSExchangeIS
Description:
Closing Mapi session “/o=Organization/ou=Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=user” because it exceeded the maximum of 250 objects of type “objMessage”.

Been playing with the figures and couldn’t for the life of me workout if it uses the Hex or Decimal values …. it appears it uses the decimal ;-)

Under the Freedom of Information Act, the Professional Contractors Group has been able to find out how much tax the British government has raised from IR35.
… Through its FOI request, the PCG has established that the Government raised just £9.2m from IR35 in the tax years 2002/3 to 2007/8. No wonder the Government said it didn’t know how much revenue it earned from IR35 when asked in Parliament and elsewhere.
Okay do you know you can run Get-CASMailbox -Filter {HasActiveSyncDevicePartnership -eq $true} to get a list of users that have an Activesync partnership.
Now if you combine this with Get-ActivesyncDeviceStatistics you can get more details too. Check it out:
Get-CASMailbox -Filter {HasActiveSyncDevicePartnership -eq $true} | foreach {Get-ActivesyncDeviceStatistics -mailbox $_.name}
Was asked how to do this today, and here you go ……
$search = [System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher]([adsi]””)
$search.Filter = “(objectClass=organizationalUnit)”
$search.Findall() | ForEach{$_.properties.distinguishedname}
This will list all the DN’s of the OUs in your AD
Now if you want to get clever, the resulting data lists the path, and then a set of properties:
Name
—-
objectclass
usncreated
name
objectguid
whencreated
whenchanged
distinguishedname
ou
objectcategory
instancetype
usnchanged
adspath
So this was a tweak to my earlier script to find out if an OU had “Include inheritable permissions from this objects parent” checked. So it looks like this now:
Function Get-Ou ($xOU){
Write-Host $xOU.properties.distinguishedname -Foregroundcolor Red -NoNewLine
Write-Host ” : ” -NoNewLine
$yOU = $xOU.Path
$yOUPath = $yOU.ToString()
$zOU = [ADSI]”$yOUPath”
$zOU.psbase.ObjectSecurity.AreAccessRulesProtected
}
$search = [System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher]([adsi]””)
$search.Filter = “(objectClass=organizationalUnit)”
$ALLOUs = $search.Findall()
ForEach($xOu in $ALLOUs){Get-OU $xOU}
Enjoy
Check these babies out!
