  • PowerShell: Create Human-readable Shortcuts to IIS Log File Directories

    Jul 18, 2014 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    About 8 years ago, I wrote a blog post that provided a VBScript to create easy-to-read shortcuts to IIS Log directories. W3SVC56 just wasn't helpful enough to identify which website logs to which directory. Today, I ported that same script to PowerShell. I'm too lazy to explain, so this is what it does: Easy peasy. …

  • HOW-TO Setup Windows 2012 Server Core Remote Desktop Services to Securely Administer Windows over RDP and SSL

    Mar 4, 2013 · 4 min read  ·

    Read this updated post instead. It's superior in a number of ways ;) Alright, so I've wanted to setup a Remote Desktop Gateway for years, but the configuration seemed so.. time-intensive. Then I moved to Belgium, my living situation changed and I didn't want to setup a whole new VPN server to access my virtual lab. …

  • Map a Secure SharePoint 2010/IIS Network Drive over SSL and WebDAV in Windows 7

    Feb 6, 2012 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Once, after viewing a SharePoint 2010 document library in Windows Explorer, I ran a net use and saw that Windows 7 had stored the credentials of my SSL-secured SharePoint intranet server. It took a bit of fiddling, but I eventually found you can, in fact, map a secure network drive using the command line: net use W: …

  • PowerShell 1.0: Adding Virtual FTP Directories to IIS 6 or 7

    Jul 29, 2007 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    While my firm explores using WebDAV and SharePoint 2007 for exchanging large amounts of files, we're temporarily using FTP dropboxes to fill the void. Last Monday, I setup 11 new accounts and it took a total of one hour to complete the same 15 step process (give or take) for each account. By the time I was finished, I …

  • Rules for High Performance Websites

    Apr 29, 2007 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Last week, I attended the Web 2.0 Expo at Mascone Center in San Francisco where I watched Steve Souders of Yahoo speak. His workshop was titled High Performance Webpages and has a yet-to-be published O'reilly book by the same name (though the Rough Cuts version is currently available for download). The basis of his …

  • Classic ASP: "Push" File Downloads from A Directory Outside the Application Root

    Jan 22, 2007 · 3 min read  ·
    Share on:

    This is some super old code but I used it recently and figured I'd archive it on this site for my future reference. The sample code below aims to allow authenticated users to download files which are not available via direct download (ie. files within the web root). The script accomplishes this by doing the following: …

  • VBScript: Windows XP/IIS 5.1 DOES Support Denying Access by IP Addresses

    Jan 9, 2007 · 3 min read  ·
    Share on:

    In helping a visitor to troubleshoot running my IIS FTP ban script, I realized that while XP makes it appear as though it doesn't support banning users by IP address, it actually does provide that support; you just have to ban the IPs programatically.

  • VBScript: Kerberos, Delegation, IIS and User Authentication

    Dec 13, 2006 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Recently, I wanted to write a web-based front end to AD User Management for our help desk. The way that I set it up apparently broke some Kerberos delegation rules and even though Microsoft wrote a step-by-step guide on how to get IIS and Kerberos delegation going, the solution didn't work for me. If I turned off …
