I don’t know how many other people out there might ever need to do something like this. Say you have a Linux web server using an SSL certificate, and you need to put that same certificate onto a Windows server for use with IIS. Here is how you would accomplish it.
You’ll need the [...]
One of my friends, Andrew from Vancouver, sent me this extremely useful tip about how to grab a sub-string via BATCH.
<snip>
here’s a CMD shell tip that works in W2K, WXP, and W2K3.
There is a BASIC MIDSTR function equivalent in batch files… use this syntax as a modifer:
~:start,end
e.g.
set foo=\\servername
@echo unretouched [%foo%]
@echo modified [%foo:~2,99%]
will output:
unretouched [\\servername]
modified [...]
If you want a better understanding of how TCP Windows work and how they interact with round trip time to contribute to delays that you may experience with network communications, I recommend reading this newsletter by Mark Minasi, specifically the ‘Vista and 2008’s New TCP Windows’ section.
If you’ve ever tried to audit the speed and duplex settings of NICs in a windows environment, I’ll bet you’ve been frustrated by the fact that you can’t seem to find the answer to this anywhere in the registry or WMI, etc. etc. Yet you know it has to be recorded somewhere because the little [...]

Want to quickly generate a list of all of the servers located in your Active Directory? Get adfind.exe from www.joeware.net, and then from a cmd prompt, do:
adfind -config -f “objectclass=server” -nodn name -csv -csvnoq > serverList.ini
This will create a list of all servers in your environment, and put them in a file called serverList.ini. [...]
Funny, but true: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/261186. If your computer randomly starts playing “It’s a Small, Small World” it may actually be by design.
I recently decided I’d try my hand at debugging a windows memory dump. For the uninitiated, the following article by Dirk A. D. Smith, is geek gold!: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2005/041105-windows-crash.html.
Contrary to what you might think (and depending on your OS-affinity, hold as a dear belief), most Windows crashes are caused by buggy third-party drivers, and not [...]
