  1. If you are on SQL 2012 SP1 CU2, there is always Azure? I don't know exact costs but I know BLOB storage is fairly cheap?
  2. You can also have nested hashtables if you really want to get complicated.
  3. @{} is a hashtable @() is an array Been caught out on that one many a time.
  4. Of course that could be some library footage. Although I wouldn't put it past them to still be running NT4 here and there.
  5. You will need to move that rule up near to the top otherwise it will still get caught by the add + rule
  6. Ok your route are a lot more liberal than mine. That should be all that needs doing. We have 101,112 & 999 configured to work in exactly that scenario. Could it be further up your config, are you using a SIP provider, SBC or IP/PBX could it be failing there?
  7. You will also need to configure your route. You will need to add 101 to the pattern to match.
  8. I haven't tested this but wouldn't this work? Get-ChildItem -Path $Folderpath -Include "xlsx" -Recurse | Foreach { Move-Item -Path $_.FullName -Destination ($_.FullName -Replace ("X:","Y:")) -Force -Confirm:$False}
  9. I wrote a similar one a few years back, you can do it as a one liner and without the need for the AD module, so long as it is a group that has been enabled in exchange. I think it was something like this, using the Exchange Get-Group cmdlet rather than the AD Group cmdlet. (get-group "GroupName").Members | Set-Mailbox -RecipientLimit 2
  10. Take a look at Virgin Money, when my wife stopped work to look after our son, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get enough on my sole wage, but in the end they offered £157k with essentially 2 dependants.
  11. The cr**py areas you speak of, are they really that bad or just a reputation? When I moved into my last place, I had a lot of funny looks from people when I told them where I lived, but as it turned out it was one of the nicest areas I have lived in, the people were all really nice and I felt safe walking at night. I live in a "nice" area now, but am moving again as my neighbour is, to put it mildly, a "nutjob". Do some research of your own, see what it's really like. Although, if it really is that bad, then listen to other people on here, save, save, save. For me I found moving out early was the best thing I could do, I wasn't great with saving, at least paying off my mortgage I was gaining equity in my home and enabled me to move up the ladder. Started in a 1bed flat, moved to 2 bed maisonette and now about to move into my first house. But remember to take into account costs with moving. There seems to be a trend around my way, of sales by tender, where the buyer stumps up the estate agents costs for the seller. As these are written into condition of sale there is no room for negotiation. Because of this I am currently paying my estate agent fees along with the tender fees which equate to over £6000, something to bare in mind.
  12. Personal Phone - LG G3 on Vodafone. Work Phone - iPhone 4S on O2 Love the screen on my LG but it does munch the battery if the brightness up too high.
  13. I agree that you "should" be able to get back the data from the raid 1 disks as the raid config is normally stored on the disks as well as the raid controller so upon plugging one disk in it should just see the raid as degraded, however I have only done this through plugging into another server with a raid card am not entirely sure about in a caddy. However with the spanned disks I know that server 2012 and I presume home is the same, but dynamic disks in Windows stores the config on the disks as well as in the OS so plugging both disks into another 2012 server should be fine.
  14. Quad HD is the same as the screen on the LG G3 ie 1440p. 4K / UHD is 2160p. Not entirely sure where they are getting their definition for Quad HD from as it's not even 720p the minimum to be called HD. Although besides the point it's not a bad looking phone for the price.
  15. Another +1 for Lync here. As of 2013 the server can be run in a virtual plus the server licensing isn't as bad as it used to be, if you run in enterprise you only have to license per front end server. Of course depending on how much you want to do with it you could just run a single standard edition box. It integrates so well with exchange and you can even use it within OWA. Although I think to get the full benefit of Lync it is really best to look at the features beyond just IM, namely enterprise voice features. Just my 2 pence worth.
  16. Given constraints on budget, and the fact you are on 2012, you could look into hyper-v replica which is built into the OS as an option? This would depend on how good the networking is between the servers if there is heavy disk IO.
  17. Of course, I agree re-inventing the wheel is sometimes the best way to learn and quite often you can get much better results than out of the box commands. I was just offering an alternative. You don't necessarily have to have RSAT or run directly on a DC, you can use powershell remoting, of course that is just another rabbit hole you would have to delve into Depending on what OS the DC is running, remoting may be enabled by default or you will have to explicitly enable it. The following should allow you to get the output on any machine running as any user, as you pass in credentials to connect to the DC. New-PSSession -ComputerName DC01 -Credential (Get-Credential) -Name DC Invoke-Command -Session (Get-PSSession -Name DC) -ScriptBlock { Import-Module ActiveDirectory get-aduser -Filter {samaccountname -like "ascott*"} -Properties PasswordLastSet,LastLogonDate } Remove-PSSession -Name DC You could expand on this further and create a session to each DC and output all the results at once.
  18. Try this get-aduser -Filter {samaccountname -like "ascott*"} -Properties PasswordLastSet,LastLogonDate and for your current First Name, Last Name scenario get-aduser -Filter {GivenName -eq "Joe" -and surname -eq "Bloggs"} -Properties PasswordLastSet,LastLogonDate
  19. I'm not entirely sure that O365 is the same as on premise exchange but in Exchange it's just Get-Mailbox | Select PrimarySMTPAddress
  20. It's not just takeaway pizzas. I stumbled across "analogue cheese" on the ingredients of a frozen pizza at tesco a few years back. Doesn't bother me too much as it's not quite as bad as it sounds but it did shock me.
  21. I have had something similar in the past passing arguments to an exe where it just wouldn't accept anything from a Read-Host unless it was part of an array. So something like this might work? $commandargs = @() for ($i=1; $i -le 5; $i++){ $indarg = Read-Host "Enter paramenter $i" $commandargs += $inarg } $TestFunc $commandargs[0] $commandargs[1] $commandargs[2] $commandargs[3] $commandargs[4] Rather than loop through Read Hosts for each one you could use split and add to the array that way. Not sure if it is the same issue but worth a try.
  22. Try $MSPPT.ActivePresentation.Close() $MSPPT.Quit() Both are methods, without the parenthesis, you are just outputting details of the method. Also you may wasn't to use [system.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($MSPPT) after as that will dispose of the Comobject and terminate the processes correctly. Ref http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730962.aspx Hope that helps.
  23. For XP SP3 to support NLA you need to enable CredSSP on XP clients as by default it is disabled. See this Description of the Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP) in Windows XP Service Pack 3 Also if my memory serves me correct, been a while since we were on XP, XP SP3 only install 6.1, RDP 7 is a separate download Description of the Remote Desktop Connection 7.0 client update for Remote Desktop Services (RDS) for Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista SP1, and Windows Vista SP2
  24. I presume as you are running IE6 and by the screenshot you are still on XP? Is Network Level Authentication set to be used on the session hosts? It is possible that your machine has CredSSP enabled on it and others haven't? You could turn NLA off just to test? Also I would also check what version of the RDP client is installed.
  25. My Server 2012 looks like this
