Changing "pre-Windows 2000" group name with ADModify.

I have 2000+ groups in AD where the (pre-Windows 2000) group name looks like random generated characters. I am lucky enough to have an application that still uses this name. Here is my fix.

Run ADModify and select Modify Attributes. Select a domain and domain controller. Show only Groups and Containers. Find the groups that need to be changed. Select the Custom tab and fill the blanks like below.

20 seconds to change 2000 groups!

How to count active users on a Citrix farm and display on a web page.

Get grep.exe and wc.exe for windows at unxutils.sourceforge.net. Create two batch files as below and setup a scheduled task for count.bat.

list.bat

quser /server:citrixa

quser /server:citrixb

quser /server:citrixc

(add more servers)

count.bat

list.bat | grep Active | wc -l > temp

copy a+temp+b /b count.html

copy count.html /b c:\inetpub\www

The files a and b are just some simple html. I now have a simple banner like below that is updated every five minutes.

Aiming a satellite dish with Google Earth.

Lookup the azimuth for your zip code. Use the ruler tool in Google Earth to draw a line in the direction needed. Find an object on the line to use for aiming. I used the corner of a building.

I found a small piece of pipe and placed it on the mounting bracket. Then I looked through the pipe to view the corner of the building. I have 90% signal and it works great.

554 5.3.5 Local configuration error

I spent a few hours tonight trying to get rid of this error from sendmail on Linux. I added the new domain to the file below and all is good.

/etc/mail/local-host-names

This was a BlueQuartz server that should do everything for you from the web interface. Once in a while, it gets confused. The domain was listed in the file as www.example.com. I added example.com
