  • Update ESX SSL Certs with your own Windows Domain CA Certificates using PowerCLI

    Jun 11, 2013 · 6 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Replacing ESX SSL is the easiest of all the vSphere components, in my opinion. Unlike vSphere 5.1, you can use Microsoft's Web Server SSL template, and there's no need to use the Java keytool or reregister the service with SSO. Below is a script I use in conjunction with my vSphere/PowerShell Replace SSL script. This …

  • Update vSphere 4.1U3 and 5.0 SSL Certs with your own Windows Domain CA Certificates using PowerShell

    Jun 11, 2013 · 2 min read  ·

    While it took quite awhile to figure out how to replace vSphere 5.1 and 5.1U1's SSL certs, converting that script to work with 4.1U3 and 5.0. It probably helps that SSO doesn't exist (or I couldn't find it -- I haven't used vCenter on a regular basis since about 2006, but I've learned quite a bit from these SSL …

  • Update vSphere 5.1 SSL Certs with your own Windows Domain CA Certificates using PowerShell

    Share on:

    One month ago when I finally got my vSphere lab set up, I had no idea that getting rid of those annoying untrusted SSL errors would be such a colossal undertaking. I have my own domain CA and thought it would be easy to automate the process of replacing the self-signed vSphere SSl certs with my own trusted certs. At …

  • PowerShell Get-WinEvent Bug Workaround on Windows 2008 R2 Server -- Importing Windows Forwarded Events into SQL Server using PowerShell

    Apr 10, 2013 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    This is sort of a continuation of my earlier post, Importing Windows Forwarded Events into SQL Server using PowerShell, where I mentioned that I was unable to get the script to work on Windows 2008 R2 due to a known bug in Get-WinEvents. I had to end up deploying my solution to a Windows 2008 R2 Server and was required …

  • Safely Enable SQL Server Agent MultiServer Administration using PowerShell

    Apr 5, 2013 · 4 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Update: You can't even independently schedule slave jobs. Count my organization as yet another that won't be implementing MultiServer Administration. Grrr. I always forget about Multiserver Administration. I've actually never worked in an environment that uses it, even though it seems to have a lot of potential. I …

  • Importing Windows Forwarded Events into SQL Server using PowerShell

    Mar 20, 2013 · 5 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Over the past couple weeks, I've looked into a number of ways of parsing and importing Windows Forwarded Events into SQL Server: from using SSIS to LogParser to PowerShell to setting up a linked server to the "Forwarding Events.evtx" file. Ultimately, the only thing that worked was PowerShell's Get-WinEvent …

  • SQL Server Discovery Tools and Scripts

    May 24, 2012 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Each time I start a new contract, the first thing I do is search for all SQL Servers across any network/subnet to which I have access. While the documentation I get is usually paltry or non-existent. When it does exist, it's usually only for the production SQL Servers. Sometimes, most production SQL Servers aren't even …

    Share on:

    This setup is so unlikely, I doubt anyone on the 'net will be looking for this solution but: if you're an eBook loving Windows developer who uses a Macbook Pro for your primary workstation, this may appeal to you. My Macbook Pro runs Windows 7 within Parallels. It's fast and slick and I <3 it. My eBook reader of …

  • [Client-side Workaround] SharePoint 2010 Excel Services cannot Automatically Refresh Data when using SharePoint Lists as a Data Source

    Apr 6, 2012 · 4 min read  ·
    Share on:

    So far as I can tell, Excel Services is not capable of automatic data refreshes when using SharePoint Lists as a data source. If you're looking for this functionality, you have two choices: PowerPivot (best) or scheduled client-side data refreshing (ghetto). In order for Excel Services to communicate with other data …

  • PowerShell: Copy-Item -recurse -force Does Not Create Directories when Using Get-ChildItem -include

    Oct 24, 2011 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on:

    I recently wrote a PowerShell script which copied documents from a filter to my local hard drive. I chose PowerShell for this task because it was one of the few programs actually allowed on my ultra locked-down workstation (and 'cuz I love it.) Because I only wanted specific types of files, I gathered the list of …
