Many people do the sudoko in the sun.
I have deecided to record how long it takes for me to solve it. I have added my own spin on it, you have to do the sudoko in a pub drinking a pint.
Monday 23rd march easy 1 pint hard 1.5 pints
Tueasday 24th march easy .5 pint hard 2.2 pints (although I had 6 pints before starting LOL)
OK, so you have implemented Active Directory Sites and Services, the next question is usually “How do I test it is working?”
I do this by running a script which will determine which site the computer you are on can be located in.
In this example I have created my sites and configured them with the respective subnets, then added a new machine to the domain I then log on to the new server and open a command prompt and create a new vbs file (mysite.vbs) and add the following lines of text
Set objADSysInfo = CreateObject(”ADSystemInfo”)
WScript.Echo “Your current site name = ” & objADSysInfo.SiteName
I then run the vbs file using cscript
cscript mysite.vbs
here is the output from the command prompt :-
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cscript mysite.vbs
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6

Your current site name = Site-1
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>
William played his first game for spirit last saturday. Fantastic match and the win was even more pleasing as it was against Layton my old club. William played in the first match and the game was a draw 1-1 which is a good result considering William and 4 others in the Spirit team were actually Under 6’s
Each and every player tried their hardest and never gave up.
Keep ot going lads (and girl, we can’t forget sophie), well done.
I recently ran DCPromo on a Windows Server 2008 Core.
Even though I had the line in my unattended text file “InstallDNS=Yes” DNS Failed to install. I ran the following command
start /w ocsetup DNS-Server-Core-Role
The install took less that a minute, once completed I connected to the machine from a management server and opened DNS. DNS was installed and because my configuration for DNS was Active Directory Integrated all the Zones, Records etc were available.
Using /w prevents the command prompt from returning until the installation completes. Without /w, there is no indication that the installation completed.
Update
I have found a very good post here that may help people wanting more information about <a title=”Active Directory” href=”http://iponsel.com/ebook/a-guide-to-microsoft-active-directory-ad-design/2008/09/18/” target=”_blank”>Active Directory</a>
Once we have installed Windows 2008 we need to configure RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) so we can connect to our new server remotely.
First we need to allow the server to be administered remotely. W can do this by running the following command
winrm quickconfig
This willenable the basic configuration so you can connect to the server remotely using an MMC concole
By default RDP is disabled so we need to logon from the console (or VMware server) with an Administrator account and use the following commands
The disable RDP
When running the verify command the following applies
1 indicated RDP is disabled 0 ondicates RDP is enabled
I arrived early to London and decided to go to Leicester Square to watch a film. I could not decide which one to watch so i went for a little walk around.
I was approached by a couple of promotions people for comedy clubs. Having never been to a comedy club I decided to give it a go. I went to the 99 Club on Leicester Square (after having a pint in Yates’s). Entrance was £5 I went in and ordered a bottle of strongbow.
First up was Matt Green who was in Extra’s and I am sure I have seen him on Harry Hills TV Burp. He was very good quite funny. Second was Janice Phayre who was a very energetic Irish Lady. Last was Prince Abdi who I have to say really made me laugh. He was very natural and absolutely hilarious.
Overall I had a fantastic night, got the tube back to Gunnersbury.
