Is there a way to determine who is logged on to a particular (remote) machine given the IP address (or the workstation name) of the machine? The machines in question are on an Active Directory Domain The user running the script probably won't have any special rights on either their local or the remote machine Operating system is Window...
Recently I was working with generating a PDF from Crystal Reports through a webform. It was failing, which I determined to be caused by the permissions settings on the c:\windows\temp dir. I gave the Network Service account full access to this folder, which promptly fixed the issue. But is there a reason the Network Service account ...
Hello, So, maybe I'm a bit old-school, but when we created websites in the past, we'd develop the site on a development server, then publish or promote the pages and files to the production server. This has always seemed to be a good way to go so that users didn't see messed up pages or (God forbid) a downed server because one of us sc...
Are there any good books for a relatively new but not totally new *nix user to get a bit more in depth knowledge (so no "Linux for dummies")? For the most part, I'm not looking for something to read through from start to finish. Rather, I'd rather have something that I can pick up and read in chunks when I need to know how to do somet...
CFMX 8 Enterprise I have turned on the "Use J2EE session variables" setting under Memory Variables because security requirements state that persistent cookies cannot be used. I understood that turning this setting on will tell CF to only create a use a "JSESSIONID" session cookie. However, my server still appears to be creating and us...
Someone left the organisation but before leaving, he locked all the files for an unknown reason. How do you unlock them all so that the other developers can work? ...
I finally got my group to switch from SourceSafe to Subversion. Unfortunately, my manager still wants to use exclusive locks on every single file. So I set the svn:needs-lock property on every file and created a pre-commit hook to make sure the property stays set. We are running Subversion on a Linux server. Most of us use Windows ma...
I'm wondering if there is any way to create a User Account on a Windows XP machine that can be done through scripting from an ActiveX control on a webpage. Specifically, I'd like to know if there's any way to deploy an ActiveX control with computers (that I preconfigure and ship) that will allow use of my webpage from that computer to d...
We have a number of MS SQL Server 2005 installations (both Standard and Enterprise editions) on our webservers. From time to time I need to administrate them from home. Right now I'm using Remote Desktop to connect to my work machine, but I'd prefer to install SQL Server Management Studio on my home machine so that I can work more effici...
Ok so I just did something boneheaded. I'm setting up a subversion server for the first time ever that will be used by contractors. I did the 1 click setup, created my project and did my first check in of our application thinking that I'll go through later and remove the password information in the connection string in the configuratio...
Well I've gotten myself in a pickle I did the subversion 1 click setup and it worked great. However, in setting up my repository I accidentally committed a file that I shouldn't have. Rather than jumping through the hoops of purging a file I deleted the repository and recreated it using "svnadmin create" as recommended to me. Now how...
We are been running our corporate intranet on SharePoint Portal Server 2003. I have been administering the site in addition to my other responsibilities. I would like to make the business case for a dedicated SharePoint admin. What should a job description for this position include? What would a good SPS admin do for me? ...
As developers, we believe that not having local administrative access is going to severely handicap our productivity. We will be restricted from running IIS (we’re a web development shop), installing applications, running Microsoft power tools, etc. If you’re going through the FDCC process now, it would be great to hear how you are cop...
Is there a way to set up a user group that has permissions to administrate IIS services (use the IIS plugin in MMC) without being a 'Administrator' on the box? ...
I want to delete every "_svn" in every folder and subfolder... For example c:\ proyect1 _svn images _svn banner _svn buttons _svn Then I run something like rm-recurse c:\proyect1 _svn And I should get: c:\ proyect1 images banner buttons The ideal thing would be a tiny stan...

I've been applying Django's automatic administration capabilities to some applications who had previously been very difficult to administer. I'm thinking of a lot of ways to apply it to other applications we use (including using it to replace some internal apps altogether). Before I go overboard though, is there anything in particular ...
Having read Setting up Subversion on Windows I am trying to figure out how to run multiple SVN services on one machine. When I create more then one service using sc create svnP1 ... binpath= "svnserve.exe --service -r c:\svn\repositories\project1" sc create svnP2 ... binpath= "svnserve.exe --service -r c:\svn\repositories\project2" ...
Hi all, I am looking to do a specific copy in Fedora. I have two folders: 'webroot': holding ALL web files/images etc 'export': folder containing thousands of PHP, CSS, JS documents that are exported from my SVN repo. The export directory contains many of the same files/folders that the root does, however the root contains additio...
I'm having the following problem: Our users are using Macs running Mac OS Leopard to connect to an Xserve running Tiger Server (Version 10.4.11) via AFP. On the Xserve, I created a user group called "staff" (using Directory Admin) and put some user accounts into that group. Then I made the group "staff" owner of the folder I want them...
