@scottalanmiller Yep, I just wanted to share the configuration I use as my daily driver because it makes working in the terminal that much more efficient. The OP mentioned wanting something that was a bit slicker and more powerful, and I think in addition to your choice of terminal, your choice of shell and other tools contributes to having a better experience. I prefer FISH for my shell, and tmux is my terminal multiplexor of choice. ZSH is another great alternative shell as well.

@JaredBusch fair enough, I haven't used the product itself as of yet and wasn't aware it had whitelisting inside the product, if this was specific to just fail2ban then that method would be suitable, but in this case I agree with you, my mistake.

@brianwinkelmann said in Microsoft Command Line Tools - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer: Very Very Interesting, but the most important, this Command Line Tools are useful specially when you work remotely. Or to be ready for when you suddenly half to! Although they make you more efficient all of the time.

It is likely obvious, but as I know that some people are searching for this information, creating administrative users in this way can be done very easily from remote command lines such as ScreenConnect, ConnectWise, MeshCentral, and so forth.

Worth noting that using rsync worked very well, but there were issues with the Outlook profile on the existing user workstation and the end result. Not a huge issue for us as everything is stored in O365, but worth being mindful of if your email was hosted locally. Also because of username convention changes, I had to set the ownership of the user profile to match the new shortened name.

@pmoncho said in Get Windows Version from Command Line: No doubt. Currently working on getting Server 2019 DC, DHCP, and RDS working in a lab. A few challenges so far. Was going to try using PS to do many tasks I normally do in GUI (force myself to learn as I go) but decided to put it on the back burner due to frustration. I will get there with PS but it has to wait. Unfortunately, no matter how much we want to complain about PS and how Windows has no production-level roadmap at this point and is getting worse by the day, if you are going to run Windows today, PS is how it is done. Issues with PS have only one valid purpose to discuss - to use to explain to management why Windows shouldn't be getting deployed in production workloads, or why risks with it need to be accepted. It's like the licensing issues with Windows, these things all add up to cost and risk and risk is really just cost. It's part of the "decision numbers." Beyond that, it is what it is. If the business actually knows how costly it is and still chooses it, then PS is how you manage it. If you deploy and start without using PS, it'll be that much harder to switch later. I know the learning curve is absurd and the whole thing is so much harder than it has any purpose being, but I would bite the bullet if at all possible and learn it now. It'll just be harder later.

Long file names can be a serious pain... for copy and backup reasons. I recall a NTG client that used a long name for the directories,.. and it made updating nearly impossible Should follow the KISS method... Directory names don't need to be 120 characters long,.. and four deep.

I got it from here brew install macosvpn sudo macosvpn create --l2tp Atlantic --endpoint atlantic.example.com --username ' ' --password ' ' --shared-secret s3same You can provide ' ' for both the username and password, this allows any user to fill in as required.

@manxam said in Dumb question - linux dd write 0s to multiples disks at once: @stacksofplates : Now you're just showing off Ha I didn't mean for it to look like that, but you did make me realize I made a mistake so I'll have to fix it. Make has a lot of uses outside of jsut building software. It's a pretty awesome utility.

MM that is just troubleshooting but it is not loading without the recovery disc or recovery partition. Safemode is a pain as well.

@scottalanmiller said in Reboot a Yealink phone from the command line of a FreePBX system: @dbeato said in Reboot a Yealink phone from the command line of a FreePBX system: @jaredbusch said in Reboot a Yealink phone from the command line of a FreePBX system: @dbeato said in Reboot a Yealink phone from the command line of a FreePBX system: some changes to the configuration of the phone. This is one reason I want it done, but rarely do i need to do it from the PBX itself. Because I create my own config files, I do not get the magic "rebuild config and reboot" button that the paid EPM has in FreePBX. Generally I only need this when things happen like today when an internal FreePBX system went unexpectedly offline and was rebooted along with the entire Hyper-V server. BLF subscriptions seem to not update real well to events like that. Understood, talking about the Paid EPM, Do you see a reason to use it in the Small Business World? Loads. Even for internal staff, why walk to a phone if you can reboot from your desk? I like the exercise.

Like this... watch "echo Old Size Was: 38M; du -shx /tmp"

@travisdh1 said in Creating an Active Directory Group with PowerShell: Gah, I'm having bad memories of OpenVMS with the different programs for every single little thing. It does make for a nice looking and short command-line structure tho. Oh yeah, SO much different than UNIX.

Yeah, but this was explaining why cd does not work as expected.

@momurda said in Add Whitelist Entries in Office 365: If you run this command again with different addresses/domains, doesnt it overwrite the previous items in the list, unwhitelisting your previous whitelist addresses? Correct, this is setting the list. You'd have to append the new ones to the command.

@echo off setlocal :REQUEST set /p REQUEST="Logoff, Shutdown, Reboot or Abort? L/S/R/A " if /i %request%==l goto logoff if /i %request%==s goto timer if /i %request%==r goto timer if /i %request%==a goto abort goto REQUEST :logoff shutdown -f -l goto exit :abort shutdown -a goto exit :timer set /p TIMER="Wait how many seconds? " if /i %request%==s shutdown -f -s -t %timer% if /i %request%==r shutdown -f -r -t %timer% :exit

Totally coincidence that I posted this same topic for PowerShell yesterday and today I started moving over my Windows Admin blog content and the first post over there was the same topic, but without PowerShell!

There is ZERO reason to have a GUI on a Domain Controller. Everything can be done through Server Manager on Windows 10/8 You mean RSAT Both? You can do a lot of directory management through Server Manager as well. Ok, agree. Just don't like the Server Manager this much, ugly interface. I want to be sure WHICH drive on WHICH host I'm going to format for example. But that is just my personal opinion and I'm more or less a console fetishist But when it comes to ADSIedit or AD sites, you really want to have RSAT. huh? Those options are generally only there is RSAT is installed.
