what do you think of RM Integris ? we have SIMs at the moment !
halbaradkenafin replied to sjpage10's topic in MIS Systems
We've got Integris here (secondary school) and it's okay but I barely touch it. I know there have been various problems with it for our regular users that have eventually been solved (I think, they've stopped complaining to me about it anyway). From my limited experience of it and SIMS (used at the last job) I'd have to say I much prefer SIMS. SIMS support was considerably better than RM (potatoes are better than RM support at times) and being hosted on site you didn't run into any real latency issues if everyone was using the internet, at least not more than you'd be getting anyway, and you don't run into the problem of not being able to use it if your internet connection goes down for any reason. -
This is a thread for all those questions about Powershell that you can't quite figure out yourself or that Google just isn't helping with.

As long as you don't bring anything too shiny then I'll pay for your ship. Selling a small pile of Geckos sorted out my wallet after last week and so I can afford a few losses.

It's probably possible with something like AutoIT but I'm not sure of the limitations of that. Scripting it would probably be possible but not easy. Surely they have some way to do it themselves so you could just phone up and say "I'd like to register x devices with you and can send a csv plus proof of purchase" and they'll give you email details or something. I know Toshiba have done this for us in the past and I'd like to think most suppliers can do something similar.

Script randomly failing: if filesize doesn't change, send email
halbaradkenafin replied to Garacesh's topic in Scripts
Ah, I misread your initial script and thought you were actually looking at the file sizes of a single file. Not sure why I assumed the files were saved without an extension but I've seen stranger things from some systems. If it's making files regularly enough then that way should work. The next option would be to use the Measure-Object method but use -eq instead of -match, just in case the regex isn't being evaluated correctly. Or perhaps using the LastWriteTime property and ensuring it was within the last hour by doing something like: if ((Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Files\Here | Sort-Object LastWriteTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1).LastWriteTime -le (Get-Date).AddMinutes(-30)) -
We have a few different back up methods in school including tapes. We move the tapes offsite each week to another school in the area (and we store their tapes). 200GB doesn't seem like a lot of storage but I guess it depends on the size of the school and what you're actually backing up. I think we're close to 2TB of back ups but we back up a lot of stuff.

Script randomly failing: if filesize doesn't change, send email
halbaradkenafin replied to Garacesh's topic in Scripts
Have you tried replacing the Measure-Object section with either Select-Object -ExpandProperty Length or just wrapping the Get-ChildItem in parentheses and .length on the end? Could be some funky Measure-Object interaction that's screwing things up sometimes. Other than that it looks fine and I can't see why else it would fail. -
The solution I've used in the past is to make a few events in your calendar as a test then export them to csv.

Set Wallpaper Based On Screen Resolution via Scrip - Windows 10
halbaradkenafin replied to FN-GM's topic in Windows 10
How about this in Powershell (haven't tested as don't have a Win 10 machine handy) $Monitor = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_DesktopMonitor | Where {$_.DeviceId -eq 'DesktopMonitor1'} $Resolution = "$($Monitor.ScreenWidth)x$($Monitor.ScreenHeight)" $WallpaperPath = "C:\IT-Services\User Wallpapers\$resolution.jpg" Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop\" -Name "Wallpaper" -Value $Wallpaperpath Rundll32.exe user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters A few sources don't include the "0,False" on the end of rundll or have "1,True" but I haven't delved into rundll32 to know if it's needed or not. -
Page through user properties in Active Directory?

We get one or two false positives a week, it's the nature of such a detection method and something that you can quickly work around with the script that's there (I've always got at least one PS Prompt open that I can quickly run the script from).

Thanks, that's what I get for not having tab completion.

You will probably need a nested foreach loop. One to loop over the messages and then another to loop over the recipients. I'll try to put something together as a guide for you but don't have exchange so it will need some testing and modification from your side. Edit: $AllMessages = get-messageTrackingLog -sender start "" -end "" | select Sender, MessageSubject,Recipients $Output = @() foreach ($message in $AllMessages) { foreach ($Recipient in $Message.Recipients) { $Output += New-Object -TypeName PSObject -property @{'Sender'=$Message.Sender;'Message Subject'=$Message.MessageSubject;'Recipient'=$Recipient} } } $output | export-csv

You need to add in your other servers using the Invoke-Command section, just duplicate it for the needed servers and update the names etc.
-
Obviously you'll need the FSRM role installed on the file server to also get the Powershell commands: Install-WindowsFeature FS-Resource-manager -includemanagementtools
-
The two cmdlets you'll want to look at are Get-FSRMQuota and Set-FSRMQuota. See what format the quotas are currently in and then you should be able to do something like this: $Students = import-csv c:\photostudents.csv Get-FSRMQuota | Where { $students -contains $_.Name} | Set-FSRMQuota -size 2GB -whatif I'd run it once with the -WhatIf there and make sure it's going to run okay (no errors) and then remove it and run it again. The bit in the Where box will need changing to some identifying parameter that you can link with the csv, we don't have any quotas so I can't quickly do work out what it would be.

I'm sure it was on the news recently that she's leaving the show, I'd assume either after this season or possibly mid season. I'm not sure how I felt about the episode, it wasn't bad but not really stand out. I'll probably watch it again along with the next part next week.

Fleet success, we all died to a svipul gang on the first outing and then later died to a CS gang. I almost saved my clone (with newly plugged in +5s) but died on the last jump before low sec to a sabre before I could warp out. Op success on the whole though.
-
That's good to know, and will effect how I handle jumping into dictors on gate camps (when I'm non-cloaky anyway). I'll throw together a fit at some point when I can get to Pyfa, I can fly them all and kind of assumed Sabre was still the best for roaming. Might go for the Flycatcher or Heretic as they look better.

I Only Just Found: SCCM 2012 Right Click Tools

That's pretty cool, I'll have to look into that as I really miss the rerun deployment functionality from 2007.- 9 replies

I'm sure we can always go out again and see how many ships we can lose.

I wouldn't bother with a logi unless it's a logi frig in this size fleet, even then we'd much rather have the dps than a bit more repping as people can easily fit a reasonable local tank (even a SAR or MSB/MASB should keep people going). No harm in having a bit extra tackle, if I bring a Sabre then I should have some dps (haven't looked at numbers for a while but I'd guess ~300dps or more)
-
I'll do some research on the changes to dictors since I last used them, I'll probably bring a Sabre as I recall they were pretty good and not likely to have been nerfed too much.
-
Real 9 pm or Server 9 pm? I'll figure out what I want to fly later, might go for a destroyer of some sort to keep it small and fast (probably not a T3 destroyer though). I guess I could go with a dictor to give us the option of catching things on gates.

Good spot, I'll report it to get it modified as I can't edit it anymore. One thing I have noticed while doing some research on AppLocker is that it requires Win 7 Enterprise and won't work with Win 7 Pro. Something for people to bear in mind before investing lots of time in it. I am currently experimenting with White listing SRP though instead, I've got two victims volunteers to try it out over the next week or so before I push it out to the whole school.
