Login Scripts

I was trying to determine how I wanted users to run their login scripts when they are moved over to the 2003 domain. I decided to not use group policy at this point and just utilized the user account properties. My accounts are segregated nicely by OU which makes the advantages of GP closer to nil. I also decided to use WScript instead of the old DOS way of coding login scripts. This website had some great simple coding examples

I want one

OK. This has got to be the coolest thing I've ever seen. I want one for Christmas. Click the picture to go to the Moller International.

Active Directory Project update

I've decided to move forward with the Active Directory project using 2003. I was going to wait until the file server I was migrating was done, but I'm waiting on others to get me information on certain files and folders and that mini project is dragging. I'm start converting our customer service department over to AD as they make useful lab rats. In all fairness I'll include the IT staff in the process so we can all share the pain.

Housekeeping

What is with people and not cleaning up their files. We are in the process of migrating our main file server over to a newer box. This old file server has been around since the invention of dirt and never has had a clear organization about it. This has led to files after files that no one has any idea about. I just found HR documents that aren't secured and are wide open for anyone to look at. I also just discovered that I'm being paid $20,000/year less than the rest of my colleagues. Time to upgrade that resume.

Next Big Thing

My next big project is going to be converting over the old NT network here and upgrading to Active Directory. I'm a little on the fence (ouch...that hurts), about if I should stay with 2003 or go with the latest and greatest. I've already started the conversion. DCs are up and I'm beginning to move resources over to the new forest.

Back from the dead!!! --Update on batteries

Wow!!!! been busy.......We upgraded our UPS backup system and lo and behold we bought too many batteries... We now have a appr. 5 hour backup window. I still haven't been able to get my boss to come down and look at the cooling situation. We added 4 new servers and it is getting pretty friggin warm behind the racks. With all of the extra backup time, I think I will lash the air conditioners to the UPS system

WTH!!!!

I thought we lived in the United States of America. These cops should be fired and if their excuse is there wasn't enough of a police presence to secure their safety, then the police official in charge of organizing the response to the protest should be fired.
