I have a process that is meant to run at 8pm to generate an output file and put it into a shared folder. Im looking for a way to check a shared folder for the existence of the file, and then send an email if it doesn't exist. As its a shared folder, I guess I could run this as either a Linux cron based script or run it as a scheduled task on the windows server itself. My problem is I dont know how to write scripts Could anyone please assist? Many thanks!!

I mean I want to convert a string of text (a sentence or so) to a REGEX expression that will get matched, and independent of case. I dont really want to have to learn regex, i just want to be able to unput a bunch of words, and it to out put the regex, eg is \ required before a space, or is it a . ? @zag, got a link plz? Google shows a mulititude...

Is there a website or program that will let me convert a text string to it's RegEx equivalent? Google isnt helping me right now...

I am fine it is my remote site which is now offline I didnt want to gamble with a remote config upload incase i bricked the box, at least now I just need to wait for someone to be able to get local to the modem to talk them through the changes. No biggie. But another reason to hate Sky/Murdoch ;p

too late they have cut over to the new IP.

So Ive got a DG834GT Netgear, solid as a rock with an uptime of 1100 days and an 11mb sync for over a year. Internet at this location has been flawless. And now Sky have come and taken over, and they require changes to the ADSL modem settings.... Thing is, I only have remote access to the modem, and they require changing multiple settings that I will lose connection once I change one setting before I get a chance to change the other. My idea was to download the config file, make the required changes, and then upload the new config. Problem is I dont know what the conf should look like with the new settings. Does anyone happen to have a spare DG834GT Adsl modem they could make some changes to the settings for me and send the backup.cfg file I can use for the settings? (Or have another suggestion as to how I can make these changes remotely pls)

After about a week of it not working, it just sprung to life all by itself

My dev hyperv box went down taking exchange and a DC with it, it was over 2 months before I could get it back online (yay 10,000 miles away) The host is back up now, and the DCs seem to be replicating OK via ADSS however gpupdate is failing and Exchange wont start the transport service or information store. EMC and EMS show the DB as unable to mount. (both GPupdate and exchange services are showing a 'transient error' which makes me think of DNS but that seems to be OK) This is just a dev/testing setup so not a big deal; Ive got a backup of the exchange DB from the moment it went offline. Is this worth pursuing a fix for educational value, or should i just demote / repromote the DCs that were offline, and create a new exchange DB and restore the backup?

Thanks KDEV SMSFoxBox - Hardware SMS Gateway and more - FoxBox LX800 Monitoring This one looks like what I want..

Thanks for getting in touch. I literally yesterday was just thinking about this again. Could you advise if there is a reseller in Australia please?

guess not....

Im looking into options for our new server room, and thinking rather than the original racks to get the hot aisle containment that Data Centers are using these days. The think I cannot understand though, is the consequences of losing power, where the ACs go out but the Servers keep running. Surely the hot Aisle will just heat up exponentially and cause the servers to shut down a lot quicker than in a normal rack / room? Are there any Schools using the Hot Ailse containment in their server rooms?

Im abandoning the idea, and instead just going to go after computers that have Sophos installed. Ive got a remove_sophos.bat file from Sophos, which works great when run manually from an elevated command prompt, however I cannot seem to get it to work via SSCM. Ive created the package with the .bat as the program, it seems to deploy and run but its not removing sophos Anyone got a better method with SCCM to remove Sophos?

Im in the process of migrating away from sophos and onto Endpoint protection. Im looking to create a collection which membership rules are 'has sophos but doesn't have endpoint protection' How would I go about this please, the SCCM queries baffle me

I'm still on the Electoral Roll, I haven't emigrated, I'm just on a jaunt overseas @SYNACK I could possibly get a postal vote - ill need to look into it.

Im flying back for the 14th to cast my YES vote. I may not live there currently, but I want to think that any kids I have, whether born here or in Scotland, will have a country to be proud of. Not one dictated upon from a city in another country.

I'm not sure if this is an exchange issue or an outlook issue, but I have one shared mailbox, that whenever either of the users with the mailbox mounted tries to send to multiple (10 or more) mailboxes, outlook will lock up and become non responsive. Could it be something as simple as just a too low spec machine? Or is there something inherantly wrong with either Outlook or Exchange 2010 causing this to happen?

Thanks for all the suggestions. Now just need to check which are available in this country..

we bought some prepaid credit cards

Looking for some options for charging / storage of ipad airs please... what is everyone using?

Has anyone got the smartboard software working on Mavericks? For me it seems to just crash and wont recognize the board. Running 11.4 SB software and X.10.9.1

new year, new site wide password change, and this issue has reappeared. I cant really go recreating all the outlook profiles again. Exchange is now at SP3, and pretty fully patched, could it be an outlook update that is missing that would fix this?

hello and happy new year to you all. First post of the year my sister has smashed her apple macbook air screen (2010 model), and apple want 400 quid to replace it. Is there anyone 3rd party in London who can do a reputable replacement of a macbook air screen that anyone here could please recommend that will be cheaper? Cheers!

a failed 3rd attempt is normally an automatic return to sender, doesnt necessarily mean it was refused by the receiver, i think?

there are a bunch of Hotfixes for windows 7, that dont come down through the normal WSUS and need to be installed manually, some of which address the windows 7 slow login issue. Microsoft rolls out a new hotfix for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 | ZDNet
