Using Host Profile in VMware vSphere

One way to help us in the configuration of our virtual environment is to rely on one of the new features that VMware vSphere brings 4, the ability to use already configured templates to apply to all our ESX hosts, or for when we add a new VMware ESX host to our virtual community, we can apply the same configurations that one of our hosts already has.. We can create a template from scratch by configuring everything manually or get said template from one of our servers already configured perfectly (being able to edit the profile if necessary), and then apply it to the rest of the hosts that do not meet the requirements that we indicate. This is called the VMware Host Profile.

Renaming a domain in Windows Server 2008

Well, I hope this never touches you, or at least in a complex organization, In the document we will see what are the steps for a correct renaming of our domain. We will rely on Microsoft's utility called RENDOM.EXE; We will have to take into account certain prerequisites to perform the migration, as well as:

Installing Microsoft Windows 2003 + Domain Migration 2000 a 2003 + Promote yourself as a primary domain controller

In this procedure we will see how to install a server with S.O. MS Windows 2003, How to update a domain 2000 a 2003 and how to promote this server to Domain Controller. To do this, we boot a PC with the Windows CD 2003 and in the BIOS enabled CD boot.

Automated installation of Microsoft Windows using response files – Unattended setup answer file

This is for, Even the administrators work less!! 😀 Or good, If not, that, our work is more comfortable, if you waste a lot of time installing PCs with MS Windows and it's always the same, with the same data, or similar, I mean the data from when you install Windows, The data you ask for, So much NAMEPC, DOMAIN, RED Configuration, Serial Number… to install a Windows CD and totally go from asking us and getting the answers from a floppy disk, prepare what's called a response file, or “Unattended Setup Answer File”. We can put it together with the RIS (HERE) and the use of distributed software (HERE) to make it even more convenient to install a PC in a domain and its respective applications/configurations.

Change DNS servers on the stations using a script

This is useful when we are performing a server migration, in the event that we are going to change the IP address DNS servers or the server DNS server, we must change its DNS servers in all positions. The posts may be configured with a dynamic IP address so the change is very simple and we will change it only on the DHCP server. But.. What happens if our posts have a fixed IP address? That we should change the 'Preferred DNS Server'’ and the 'Alternate DNS Server'’ or manually or with the help of a simple script that we can put in the login of the posts through a GPO.
