CaverJS IT Notes: Hyperterminal
http://caverjsitnotes.blogspot.com/2012/03/hyperterminal.html
Friday, March 23, 2012. Believe it or not there are still times when a modem comes in handy. One case is an out-of-band connection to a remotely managed KVM switch, in this case a Raritan KSX II. Unfortunately Windows 7 no longer includes Hyperterminal, which was a very useful program for dialup connections to devices. There is an easy workaround though if you have a Windows XP machine available. Instructions are at http:/ technetphilippines.net/blogs/mafi mok/archive/2009/11/11/insta...

CaverJS IT Notes: SMTP IP testing
http://caverjsitnotes.blogspot.com/2012/12/smtp-ip-testing.html
Wednesday, December 12, 2012. I had a situation where I needed our firewall to send outbound SMTP traffic as a particular IP address which was not the default for the firewall's outbound traffic. Here are the steps to test that the new IP was working:. 1 Use NSLOOKUP to find gmail's SMTP servers. NSLOOKUP, set type=mx, gmail.com. Returns several addresses: alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com, etc. 3 Get the gmail server to tell me what IP I have by using the EHLO command and checking it's response.

CaverJS IT Notes: February 2012
http://caverjsitnotes.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 23, 2012. I'm setting up a test lab for our Exchange 2010 migration. After creating the lab environment on one of our VMware hosts with copies of the necessary servers in an isolated network, I decided to see if I could get that lab network connected to the internet. Here are the steps that I took:. 1 Select an unused "Optional" (DMZ) port on our firewall to use and an unused physical NIC on the VMware host. I kept the default IP address used by the firewall for the Optional port.

CaverJS IT Notes: April 2012
http://caverjsitnotes.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 4, 2012. Shoretel Bridged Call Appearance. Found out about a new-to-me Shoretel feature - Bridge Call Appearance. What I'm using it for is so that an employee can have a presence in two cities at once - clients can call him at a local number at either city and he can call out to clients with the same local DID number in that city.

CaverJS IT Notes: November 2012
http://caverjsitnotes.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2012. Mac OSX on VMware. Just for fun I've been testing out OS X as a vm. I ran into a couple of downloaded images that kind of worked but were pretty flaky. Then I ran across the Soul Dev Team's blog http:/ www.souldevteam.net/blog/downloads/. They have some great resources and blog posts on the subject. Other than requiring BitTorrent (which I'm not a fan of) the site and the images work great. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Mac OSX on VMware. Hey, Scripting Guy!

CaverJS IT Notes: Disabling Outlook
http://caverjsitnotes.blogspot.com/2012/12/disabling-outlook.html
Wednesday, December 5, 2012. I get some weird requests related to employee terminations. This time they wanted to allow the user to access their computer and the network after being terminated, but to not have access to Outlook. Putting aside the discussion about whether that is a good idea at all, here are the options that I uncovered in my testing:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Riverbed appliance automated backup.

CaverJS IT Notes: VB.Net stopwatch
http://caverjsitnotes.blogspot.com/2012/04/vbnet-stopwatch.html
Tuesday, April 3, 2012. I just found out about a neat new VB.Net function. It acts as a stopwatch, allowing you to measure one span of time or to get a cumulative measurement from several spans. Here's the basic code that I use:. Dim Watch1 as new System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch. Msgbox("Elapsed time was " and Watch1.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
