Getting frustrated with not being able to paste directly into the VMRC?
On your 400th attempt at typing that autogenerated password for the VM Template?
Chronic case of Sausage Fingers?
Or are you just a lazy sys admin?
A quick powershell script using HTML and CSS to run against your VMware Environment utilising PowerCLI to pull back a report of your snapshots.
This can be useful for reclaiming space and making the most of your storage or to spot somewhere that you have a usage issue.
After having some speed issues I wanted to create a script to document these into an easy to access table that I could see what was happening. So rather than reinventing the wheel, Ookla offer a Python application that will display your internet speeds from the commandline… if thats your wish; and in my case, it was!
My main wants in this were:
I was struggling in finding a way to export all SendConnector details including multivalue fields to a CSV file during an Exchange 2010 – 2016 Hybrid soloution plan.
So I wrote the following script to do so.
I am iniating a project where I am going to have to setup potentially 2-300 new VMs to upgrade existing infrastructure.
They’re all based on Hyper V so it makes sense to script this so it can be quickly deployed either one at a time or in bulk with the ISOs attached and ready to go!
I’ve been meaning to get something like this together for a while, so it will be an always evolving script.
Currently it outputs to a single line in a CSV per machine, but I hope to change this to give the option of outputting to a HTML page/report.
I have a need to provide certain stats every month for our managerial teams on some of our contracts. One of which is the Terminal Services licensing.
So instead of emailing them when they remember to ask us for it, I automated it using Powershell.
I have adapted the “Modern Exchange Environment Check” from Satheshwaran Manoharan and for use on a Exchange Server 2016 environment.
Added to the already excelent script is the following
I feel that this is now a more complete report of the Exchange Server environment and the servers it runs upon.
Logs can be the bain of any Exchange Environment when things aren’t going well…
This script will read from a CSV and will email users who’s smart card logon Certificates are going to expire with-in the next 30 days.
It will give them a stock email with instructions on how to renew their certificate.
It will also email the chosen administrators to inform them as to who has been emailed.
