The ramblings of a computer geek
We had a weird graphical glitch on the timeline webpart on our SharePoint installation, we couldn’t figure out what was happening. Until that is we checked out the element in F12 Developer tools, within one of our customisations we used the .ms-rtestate-field img directive within our custom site CSS file. So this is what we […]
More...You can monitor the Dell PowerVault TL4000 Tape Library using the Nagios check_snmp plugin. After setting the TL4000 to accept SNMP connections on v2 SNMP you can run the following command below. This queries for the status of the library as a rollup. # ./check_snmp -H <IP Address> -C community -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.2.102.2.1.0 -r3 SNMP OK […]
More...The changes to the ASA IOS post version 8.3 changes the way that NAT works. NAT Exemption is normally used to disable translation for certain addresses e.g. for VPN tunnelling. So for this example below you create an access-list containing the IP addresses that are to be exempted from NAT. So say these are the […]
More...On a Cisco ASA firewall you will probably want to use the DMZ for servers that are web facing, and also restrict/deny any access they have to the internal network. The idea being that a connection to a web server say in your DMZ would get into the DMZ, and if another connection is required […]
More...Pre version 8.3 to statically NAT an internal host to an external IP address you would use the following: This then means…… inside = the source interface for the NAT connection (assuming going from the inside to the outside) outside = the translated interface for the NAT connection 212.219.63.195 = External IP address to which […]
More...Okay a basic example with a Cisco ASA for the NAT rules. Lets say there is PC1 on the inside network that you want to have internet access. The IP address 192.168.1.100 can’t just connect to the Internet using that IP address as its not routable, so instead we need to translate it. In this […]

In my case all the files were named as follows: samAccountName@domain.co.uk so for example: fred.bloggs@thingy.co.uk.pst You can run this command from an Exchange PowerShell console, bear in mind that you’ll need to change your domain name on […]
More...If you like me like a more simple password for your local administrator password on your servers in a test lab or production 🙂 then you can change it using the local security policy. Problem is on Hyper-V Server 2012 R2, you don’t have the MMC snap-ins to do it, so you need to use […]
More...On our Microsoft SharePoint 2013 home page, we had a horizontal scrollbar appear. What seemed to be happening was within the master CSS file was that the “s4-workspace” was of the “ms-core-overlay” that affects the whole size of the page was using this: As you can see the “overflow” was set to auto, this sets […]
More...So you have the box at the top, this confuses our users, so we need to remove it. To do this you can just use a simple script on the front page. 1. Edit the front page and add the “Script Editor” web part. 2. Give it a suitable name, and then enter the following […]
