I'm not a very good programmer. I have been known to put together some pretty ridiculous solutions for issues though, and I thought I'd share some of them. 99.99% of the scripts that I write are in batch or vbs. I work in an all windows environment, and 99.9% of the scripts are designed around XP / Server 2003.
Just a few areas that I'm playing with at the moment:
- XML
- String Manipulation
- Scheduled Task monitoring and manipulation
- WMI/WMIC integration
- Active Directory
- SQL
- SNMP
I usually write these things to operate on a grand scale for an enterprise network. I will probably be posting limited examples of the code just to highlight some of the trickier parts, but I'm not saying that some of the complete examples won't find their way to the site. There are usually MANY moving parts, and I heavily rely on Microsoft's fairly recently acquired pstools suite in many of these programs.
Some of the things that I've done include:
-Scheduled task monitoring with status reporting to sql (Solarwinds' "Orion" software, but could be adapted for others)
-Automated, Active Directory-based file distribution using only one computer per site to push the initial files, then initiating a push from that computer to send to the other computers at the particular site. So, if you have 200 sites, each with 10 computers, you're looking at 2000 total computers. With a 100MB file, you're looking at 200GB of data transfer. With this script, that would be cut down to only 2GB.
-remote installation/un-install of software on enterprise-wide scale, simultaneously.
and more...
So stay tuned..
Also, I'm pretty good at coming up with solutions to problems. If you want me to take a try at solving your issue, email me: L3it3r@gmail.com We'll come to some kind of agreement :)
