Windows

Hello. I was given the next task - to migrate the sites that are hosted on Windows 2008 to Windows 2012R2. Difficulties turned out to be that every site revolves on a separate application pool, from an individual user whose password is not known. Sites are pretty much and almost all have different settings (isapi filters, etc.). If you transfer using WebDeploy, then at least users will not be saved.

Below I will tell you how to migrate sites with IIS7 to IIS8.5 as transparently as possible for clients.

Hello. There was a task to migrate DNS servers. It was necessary to migrate secondary and primary DNS servers. The following are examples of powershell scripts that allow you to copy all zones from the primary DNS server to secondary, copy all the zones from the primary server to the primary server, and delete all zones on the server.

Copying zones:

Good afternoon, below will be told how to create a failover cluster with load balancing. We will balance the load with nginx, because IIS ARR 1) requires add. License for Windows, 2) can not monitor the http responses of several sites.

Let's get started.

In order to write down the password from the file share, for the user from which the 1C service starts, you need:

To install unsigned drivers on Windows Server 2012, you have to disable the Digital Signature Driver Verification.

In previous versions (before 2008 R2 or something like that), you could simply disable the check through group policies in gpedit.msc (User Configuration-> Administrative Templates-> System-> Driver Installation, Code Signing for Device Drivers). Now the rigid concept of security is replaced by the brutal arbitrariness of Microsoft. Fortunately, they still left a loophole.

Good day

Fine day, nothing boded ill. But here came the problem - the speed of some application was unacceptably small, and last week / month / day ago everything was fine. We need to solve it quickly, spending as little time as possible. A server with problem running Windows Server 2003 or later.

I hope the following script will be brief and understandable enough and useful to both novice administrators and more serious comrades, you can always find something new for yourself. Do not immediately rush to explore the behavior of the application. First of all, is it worthwhile to see if there is enough server performance at the moment? Are there any "bottlenecks" that limit its performance?

To configure network with PowerShell you need to do:

1) Get the list of network interfaces: Get-NetIPInterface

2) Set address, mask and gateway: new-netipaddress -interfacealias "manage" -ipaddress "192.168.10.2" -prefixlength 21 -defaultgateway 192.168.10.1

3) Set DNS servers: set-dnsclientserveraddress -interfaceindex 30 -ServerAddresses 192.168.10.10,192.168.10.18

To add network adapter to nic teaming:

New-NetLbfoTeam -Name TestTeam -TeamMembers "Ethernet", "Ethernet 2" -WhatIf'

This command will create switchindependent team, with dynamic balancing.

Эта команда создаст switchindependent team, с динамической балансировкой. For convenience, you can rename adapters as well as temporarily disable the firewall and configure it remotely via mmc:

$NetAdapter = $NetAdapter | Rename-NetAdapter -NewName $NIC.NIC -PassThru netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off

HyperV performance monitoring.

If we are talking about monitoring the performance of the OS on a hardware ("iron") platform, then very few people have a question how to do this.

There are already known tools and methods for monitoring such systems.

Hello to all IT professionals and enthusiasts! Today's tutorial will delve into an efficient way to bulk-add or update users in ActiveDirectory, leveraging the power of scripting. By using a simple CSV file, this automation process becomes seamless.

Introduction to Windows Server 2012's RemoteApp Limitation

In the Windows Server 2012 environment, Microsoft introduced restrictions on the use of the Terminal Server if it's not part of an Active Directory domain. Specifically, many users, including myself, have encountered challenges when trying to configure RemoteApp directly from the server management console.

However, there's a silver lining: you can manually add applications. Let's dive into how.
