Wednesday, 11 January 2012 09:08 Eric Sarakaitis

let me guess, your server is in site A, and instead of connecting to DFS server A, its connecting to DFS server B in site B? Bad cached DFS referral

here's your fix!

From the client not connecting to the correct DFS server:

ServerManagerCmd -install RSAT-DFS-Mgmt-Con

dfsutil /pktflush

This will instantly fix your problem!

Find Active Directory object name from SID using Windows Powershell

Sunday, 28 August 2011 09:04 Eric Sarakaitis

Found some erroneous SID's within a procmon capture, trying to figure out who they belonged to.

What else to use, PowerShell!

$objSID = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier ` ("s-1-5-21-1220945662-573735546-1417001333-500") $objUser = $objSID.Translate( [System.Security.Principal.NTAccount])$objUser.Value

Bulk add computers to active directory group using powershell

Thursday, 18 August 2011 10:08 Eric Sarakaitis

Needed to go through the environment and find all the computers per datacenter and add them to their respective security groups so they would get wsus group policy applied to them:

So i had to search for a list of computers using powershell, then add that very same list of computers to an active directory group

$pcs= Get-ADComputer -LDAPFilter "(name=sue*)" -SearchBase "ou=thick,ou=3_workstations,DC=ccs,DC=local" foreach ($pc in $pcs)      {    Add-ADGroupMember "FHH_WSUS_WKS" $pc     }

Stretching my legs yet again in the MS world using powershell...

This time, I need to find all the computers in the Thick OU that are not members of WSUS groups!

Get-QADComputer -searchroot "ccs.local/3_workstations/thick" -NotMemberOf "KDC_WSUS_WKS", "FHH_WSUS_WKS", "HDC_WSUS_WKS"

Add PortGroup to all ESX hosts in cluster using vOrchestrator

Wednesday, 10 November 2010 11:38 Eric Sarakaitis

I'm back in action and converting some of my utility PowerCLI scripts to vCO again.

This time, I'm creating a workflow that will add a portgroup to vSwitch to all of the hosts in a cluster.

First off, create your schema using the getAllHostSystemsOfCluster workflow object, and a scriptable task

Next, create some inputs, I used: VLAN_ID, VLAN_Name and Switch_Name.

On your scriptable task, define your In Parameters

Drop some code in (generated with Onyx)

And there you have it!

the only thing is to make note of the:

.configManager.NetworkSystem

prepend to

updateNetworkConfig
