Really good, works like a charm but now I need some script to delete a 5.5 mailbox. Can anyone help]]>AdamTue, 06 Jan 2004 05:59:26 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/task-scheduling/command-line-mailbox-creation#commentsAnchorTake Command of Your Management Taskshttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/resource-kit/take-command-of-your-management-tasks#commentsAnchorThu, 20 Feb 2003 13:51:30 GMT
I have implemented this script and it is a great timesaver. I also have a command line procedure for mailbox creation (can’t remember the url that I got it from thouth). I would like to tie everything together neatly by creating an MS ACCESS database to generate the necessary command lines and execute the batch file from a workstation. Does anyone have any idea how this can be done? The shell function isn’t working for me so far.]]>Florus Workman Thu, 20 Feb 2003 13:51:30 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/resource-kit/take-command-of-your-management-tasks#commentsAnchorNetwork-Database Lookups Made Easyhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/dns/network-database-lookups-made-easy#commentsAnchorThu, 07 Nov 2002 13:36:30 GMT
Great script... love it!!! I noticed some problems with the script when I was trying to use it. After modifications I was able to get it to function in my environment. I added another options that allows you to search in different dns zones. If you wish to see the modified script just email me at email@mikeyski.com. ]]>Michael Czerwinski Thu, 07 Nov 2002 13:36:30 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/dns/network-database-lookups-made-easy#commentsAnchorNetwork-Database Lookups Made Easyhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/dns/network-database-lookups-made-easy#commentsAnchorThu, 07 Nov 2002 12:16:28 GMT

Paul Niser’s "Managing Security Hotfixes" (July 2002, InstantDoc ID 25316) came out just a few weeks too early to include Microsoft Software Update Services. SUS lets network administrators host a Microsoft Windows Update server internally and automatically push critical updates to Windows XP and Windows 2000 clients and servers through Active Directory (AD) Group Policy. (AD isn’t a requirement; registry hacks are available.) Administrators control which critical updates to approve for distribution, and they can schedule these updates to take place overnight so that if needed, a reboot doesn’t inconvenience users. SUS is available as a free download from Microsoft’s Web site (http://www.microsoft.com). One SUS server can support 15,000 or more clients.

SUS is a very exciting option for Windows environments. Creating an SUS server and configuring the clients is quite simple, and best of all, SUS is free. However, you’ll want to think about how to best implement SUS in your network. Determining which workstations and servers will use the update service and scheduling the updates are critical components to an SUS deployment. SUS doesn’t solve all the update concerns. For example, only XP and Win2K clients will run the new Automatic Update client. Windows NT workstations and servers can’t rely on SUS. Also, the Automatic Update client must be installed individually unless you’re running XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), Win2K SP3, or any of the Windows .NET Server (Win.NET Server) products. In those cases, the client is included, and you only need to configure it through the registry or Group Policy.]]>Paul Niser Wed, 30 Oct 2002 09:01:03 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/administration-tools2/managing-security-hotfixes#commentsAnchorDiagnostics Logging in Exchange Server 5.5http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/exchange-server-55/diagnostics-logging-in-exchange-server-5-5#commentsAnchorFri, 22 Jun 2001 14:47:48 GMT

I’m in the process of creating scripts to create/disable/delete user accounts and mailboxes. I was very pleased to find the Cusrmgr on the Windows 2000 Resource Kit. It’s a great tool, however; everytime I use the tool with the "+/-s RASUser" switch, Cusrmgr generates an application exception. Looking in the logs, the fault is: "FAULT ->77f82b17 f266af repne scasw es:00000078=????" I haven’t found any other method of removing "Grant dialin permission to user" from the command-line.]]>Rick Bridges Mon, 02 Apr 2001 10:59:41 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/user-management-and-profiles/the-name-game#commentsAnchorTake Command of Your Management Taskshttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/resource-kit/take-command-of-your-management-tasks#commentsAnchorThu, 15 Mar 2001 10:13:32 GMT


Paul Niser’s "Take Command of Your Management Tasks" (February 2001) about using command-line utilities to create Windows NT user accounts is a great article. My colleagues and I are old-school administrators and still love to roam around the NT world in a command prompt instead of the GUI. The script the author presents saves so much time that creating an NT account is actually fun. Tips such as this one make our job easier to live with. If anyone has a script that makes creating Microsoft Exchange Server accounts just as fun, we’d like to see it.
