If we are concerned about keeping our Microsoft Windows environment up to date and controlled, we can also help ourselves with monitoring to control the pending patches that our Servers have in Windows Update. Let's continue to centralize everything we can in our management panel, let's control all our infrastructure from Nagios or Centreon and live more relaxed!
In this document we will start with something easy, we are going to monitor our first Windows computer, whether it is a Desktop or a Server. We will monitor the basics through SNMP, be CPU usage, RAM, Disk, Net, Swap Memory and Ping. With this we will have a first base to then add more elements that we need to monitor!!!
I leave you this post because a client has asked me to do it on several occasions and so I leave it for you 😉 too If we need to expand a virtual hard drive (Vhd) that is shared across multiple virtual machines, typically for cluster use, we will remember that we have the SCSI controller in Bus Sharing and that the disk is created in Eager Zeroed! We will follow these steps to expand this album.
Now that Christmas is approaching and the end of the year for companies, What better than to invest a little in training! I leave you with one of these books that is worth checking out, to fully exploit the GPOs of our beloved Active Directory… Xavier Genestós brings us this dark world closer to this dark world in a simple way with magnificent explanations and practical examples.
In this document we will show how to assign IP addresses with our DHCP servers to computers that we are interested in, based on certain conditions such as belonging to an AD group, if they have an antivirus installed, If you have the S.O.. up-to-date… we may indicate whether we are interested in giving you an IP address of our areas or denying you access to the network,
In this document we are going to try to explain how to establish a level of security in our wifi network, for controlled and secure equipment access, based on authentication through the users of our Active Directory,
The other day we installed Microsoft Security Compliance Manager, today we see that within its installation we have a command-line utility called LocalGPO. It will allow us to export the local policies of a computer to a GPO policy backup to later use them in the Active Directory or import from a GPO backup (Active Directory) to the home team, Useful for computers that can't belong to a domain, teams in DMZ…
Microsoft Security Compliance Manager 2 is a repository of Microsoft security templates that we can apply to our servers or PCs on our network providing greater security, since these templates are predefined depending on the OS. and the services run by the target machine. The good thing is that we will be able to keep the templates always 'up to date’ through updates that we can download from the console. We will be able to import GPOs, More Baselines… we will be able to edit/duplicate them and to apply them to our environment we will export them.
It is the new product name Microsoft Office Communications Server, Lync Server will allow our users to be connected to each other at all times, being able to collaborate or participate with each other in a faster/easier way wherever they are; provides our users with the use of: voice, Instant messaging and audio conferencing, Video and web made easy. It also integrates seamlessly with Office applications & SharePoint,
Many times we find ourselves with the need to uninstall certain software that we have installed on our workstations, via WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) We can uninstall the software we need on the computers we need, a platform that is not widely used by 'us'’ Administrators. Thanks to the command line parameters we can use variables and/or files with lists of equipment to automate these tasks,
