Bulk Changes to 100+ routers

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right/better direction on this.
Currently we have 150 routers connecting back to HQ over VPN. We need to make changes to these routers that would bring down the VPN in the middle of the changes until everything is reworked. As it stands we currently have to dial in to make out of band changes.
Our sites are addressed 10.10.XXX.0/24, xxx=sitenumber.
Does anybody know of a way of using variables in router config commands and then pasting or scripting this config in into the router to be executed later so that it doesn’t matter that the .
We have kiwi cattools for bulk changes but that requires the VPN to be up for every command. Once the vpn is knocked down by any command the remaining changes can't be made and the site is down until someone dials into the site and finishes the config changes.
After reading around I'm leaning toward TCL scripts and kron. Anyone have any other recommendations?

I've done similar at previous companies (long ago) using a similar combination as you mentioned. You might want to check out some of the scripts at http://cosi-nms.sourceforge.net/related.html

Bulk changing all websites from SSL to non-SSL (443 to 80)

While I was cleaning up my Mountain Lion Server, I innocently updated some SSL server certificates.
Shortly afterwards, I found that ALL my HTTP (80) sites didn't work. I went into the Server.app and found that ALL my sites were now using port 443, rather than the port 80 that they were running on.
Since I have over 100 sites, I need to know how to BULK update them back by removing the certificate they were assigned when I updated that specific cert.
How did I update the certificate? I was looking at the Alerts section of the Server.app, that told me that some were expiring. There was a Replace button and that's what I clicked. I was never warned that it would change ALL my sites from having NO certificate to the certification that I replaced.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue quickly, without having to open up EACH site and change the certification to NONE (and thus changing the port back to 80)?

There's no bulk update via the GUI [1], which leaves shutting off Server.app and mass-editing the Apache data.
For a bulk change of 443 to 80, something like this should get you started.
FWIW, Do also confirm whether the port 80 sites are still around in the configuration data, as some web browsers are now selecting 443 whenever that's available.
[1] Yes, I'm probably ignoring scripting via AppleScript here. If I have to script something, it'll be the Apache data and not the GUI, and using bash, Python or other such and likely not AppleScript. Local preference.

How to do (if possible) a bulk change of formats

Is there a way I can create a bulk change of formats? That is to say, I have six pages multiple frames of text (and graphics) with all kinds of different fonts, points, colors, effects etc.
I want to (as easily as possible) conduct a mass change where everything will be reformatted to (for example), Times new roman 12 point.
I would imagine I could create a paragraph style sheet and then go touch all the text boxes one at a time, but I was hoping for one click (ha ha ) and it is done.
Am I smoking funny stuff, or do I have to do it the old fashioned way. One text box at a time.
Bob

Bob,
InDesign "remembers" which values to change if you change the Paragraph Style, courtesy of this simple rule: If it is the same number in the text as in the style, it gets changed. Otherwise, it must've been some sort of override, and it's preserved.
Alt+clicking the paragraph style on your entire document resets
i everything
-- intended or not. Since that's what you wanted, no further problems. If you ever get into a spot where you
i don't
want to reset everything (because you manually fiddled), you can try this handy trick:
* find out what the "wrong" size is -- the one you want to kill.
* change the size in the paragraph style to the "wrong" size. Every paragraph with the style will get this applied. Exit the Paragraph Style options (so it will "take")
* Re-visit the Paragraph Style options and put in the right size. All and only the size overrides will have disappeared; the rest of your overrides stay in place.
This works with everything (as far as I'm concerned) you can change in Paragraph Styles, and as a matter of fact, also in Characters styles (and probably in Object styles and Table styles as well).

When placing a Illustrator file in Indesign, the Illustrator file sometime changes from 100%.

When placing a Illustrator file in Indesign, the Illustrator file sometime changes from 100%. When you select the placed file with the selection tool, it says 100%, but if you select with the direction tool, file has been changed any where from 98 to 102 %, not staying at the 100%? why is this and how can you asure the size does not change when placed or when updating the illustrator link?

Probably you have inserted files in a frame whose content was previously adequate with "Fit Content Proportionally" or "Fill Frame Proportionally".
The new content in the same frame will have the same characteristics as the previous one

Bulk changes to Common Resource Parameters

Hi,
I need to make changes to many disks and file server resources at once in my cluster.
The settings I need to change are in the common properties for resources:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372230(v=vs.85).aspx
RestartPeriod
RestartThreshold
SeperateMonitor
but when I use this:
get-clusterresource "cluster disk 104" | get-clusterparameter
All I get are private properties about the disk. I don't understand how I can bulk change the parameters on the disks or file servers in powershell for common parameters. Does the set-clusterparameter still work for these even though they are not displayed?
I really do not want to do this manually in the GUI.
Just to clarify, I wanted something like this:
get-clustergroup "Group 1" | get-clusterResource | Where {$_.ResourceType -like "Physical Disk"} | set-clusterparameter -name RestartPeriod -value xxxxx
But I am not sure this will work as if I use "Get" I do not see that particular common parameter listed
Thanks

I managed to work this out. It was so easy in the end I was kicking myself.
Lets say you want to change all DFSR resources that are set to failover if they fail:
$NeedFixed = get-clusterresource | Where {($_.ResourceType -like "DFS Replicated folder") -and ($_.RestartAction -eq 2)}
Foreach ($Resource in $NeedFixed) {$Resource.RestartAction = 1}
or for disks you want to change some settings:
$GroupDisks = get-clustergroup | Where {$_.Name -like "Groupname"}| get-clusterresource | Where {($_.ResourceType -like "Physical Disk")}
Foreach ($Disk in $groupDisks) {$Disk.RestartAction = 1; $Disk.RestartPeriod = 1800000; $Disk.RestartThreshold = 10 }
Thanks

To whom it might interest - "bulk" changes to the apex repository

For those who might be interested in methods for "bulk" changing the apex repository, especially for medium large applications, i wrote a few queries that may come in handy for common problems like :
- "how to change template on all labels currently set to "Optional"?
- "how to quickly delete a region with a given name from multiple pages in one shot?"
- "how to check if there are items or buttons attached to a region?"
and stuff like that...
The list of queries that i initially supplied is supposed to grow in the future.
Of course this kind of practice is absolutely unsupported, officially discouraged, so, use at your own risk.

Hi Flavio
Your post didn't appear to set session state anywhere, which tends to screw things up.
ie. your objects "disappear" from your workspace and get reassigned to flow_id 0.
I always do the following before any changes:
declare
l_flow_id number := 101; /** set to match application */
l_company_id number := 1203342054321505; /** set to match application */
l_user varchar2(30) := 'MARK'; /** set to match application */
l_sgid number := wwv_flow.get_current_flow_sgid(l_flow_id,l_company_id);
l_csize number := 12;
begin
-- set Apex context
apex_application.g_user := l_user;
wwv_flow.g_flow_id := l_flow_id;
if l_sgid is not null then
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>l_sgid);
else
raise_application_error(-20000,'Security group ID not found - must fix before can continue.');
end if;
/*** now do your changes ***/
end;

Bulk Change UserID and Primary Email Address

Hi All,
We have just successfully completed Cutover Migration and imported in all users and mailboxes from our existing Exchange 2010 environment into Exchange Online. However we are now wanting to change all UserID and Primary Email Addresses to conform with a
new username strategy. All accounts are currently Cloud Only and we do not have DirSync set up and are not planning to.
Currently the username and email address for a user is in the format [email protected] We want this now to be [email protected] for both logging in and email address. We want to maintain the old Email address as a proxy address. How is this possible?
There are about 500 users, so I need a quick way of doing this with a script?
Regards,
Timus

You can connect to Exchange Online via the powershell console.
To add an emailaddress this should work :

Bulk Changes to Transactions

Hi All,
We have a requirement of enabling Bulk Changes to transactions. For example if select 5 opportunities and change the status for one of the opportunity, the status for the other selected opportunities also gets changed.
Any pointers on how to achieve this would be highly appreciated
Regards,
Varun

Hi Varun,
When you mentioned select 5 opportunities, from which screen/transaction
you select these documents from?
You can create Action Defintion to call Function CRM_ORDER_CHANGE_STATUS to each of those 5 documents.
Hope this helps.
cheers,
Gun.

Proper way to make bulk changes the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions, ExtensionSettings

We are going through with an upgrade/migration to SSRS 2012 and moving everything to a different domain. We have about 200 active subscriptions running, the reports are being delivered to a file share. What is the correct way, in bulk, to change
the OwnerId, the Path and the FileShare Username password credentials for these subscriptions? I see these values are being stored in Subscriptions > ExtensionSettings. I see that the file share path and Owner wouldn't be a problem to change,
but since I see the file share credentials are encrypted I would not be able change them directly in ExtensionSettings. Anyone know the proper way to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions without having to
change each one of them manually in the report manager?
Note: Reporting Services Native upgrade from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Cygnus46,
Based on my understanding, you want to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for all existing subscriptions.
In Reporting Services, the subscription information are stored in the Report Server database. In your scenario, you can go to report server database and run the query to list all the subscriptions, then modify the owner and fileshare paths in the subscriptions
table. For more information, please refer to this article: Tip: Change the Owner of SQL Reporting Services Subscription. If you want to change
the file share credentials for subscriptions, you can run the query provided by
wiperzeus from this similar thread:
Windows File Share Delivery/ SSRS 2008 R2.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Mass changes across 100+ firewalls with CSM 4.3

To all,
I have over 100 ASA 5520s that a prior admin enabled debug level logging on every ACE and I need to change this ASAP.
I have just stood up CSM 4.3 and I am not too familiar with FlexConfigs and would like to know if anyone out there could help me. Apparently CSM uses something to do with Velocity language and I have no idea how to make this work.
I also assume I can make changes to Objects as well with FlexConfigs. I have tons of Objects that are the same IP but may have different names and I would like to get to some sort of sanity with that as well.
All these FW were originally managed individually with ASDM
I hope this all make sense and I can get this worked out.
Thanks in advance,
JD

Should I just ignore those log messages, and use the LOG Rotation feature to limit the size of the log file?

ISE - Bulk change endpoint profiles?

Anyone know how to actually do this? I've got about 300 devices that I want to change the endpoint profile on, and I'd like to do it in bulk as opposed to clicking on each one. When I check more than one, my "Edit" option is gone.
I suppose I could export them, change the profile, delete all, then re-import the .csv... but that seems a little tedious if there's a way to do it in the GUI.
Thanks.

Hi Tarik,
Thanks... I wasn't aware it just updated the profile and didn't require a delete. That's good news.
I'll give it a shot.

Changing the 100% zoom in Pages.

When I look at my document at 100% zoom it is quite small and not the actual size of the real paper. Is there any way to fix this?

You have not said in your tagline but I assume you have a laptop.
Screen resolution on the Mac is determined to be 72 pixels per inch, but if you have a smaller high resolution screen, that can make objects look smaller than they are because there are far more pixels per inch than 72.
All the can do is make a known size object say 2" square or 10cm square, increase the zoom until it is actually that size and use that as your standard view.
If you changed your screen resolution to an actual 72 pixels per inch you would have a relatively coarse view of your work and a much smaller area on the screen.
This problem exists for all computers and all software, you simply get used tom seeing things scaled and not actual size.

Any way to bulk change alert tones?

I have transferred all my contacts, calendar notes etc through outlook from my Nokia Phone using the PC suite.
I have noticed that on my Nokia phone where I had a contact, I added sometimes 2 or 3 different numbers which all showed on the phone. After transferring it into outlook not all the numbers are showing so when I have sync'ed my iphone with it they are missing on there also, any ideas why all the numbers are not there?
Also all my calendar notes from the Nokia have been transferred the same way, but now all my events have been sync'ed as alert 'on date of event' which previously in my nokia were set to different times 10am, 3pm 7pm etc etc, but now my alerts are all going off as soon as hit the exact date ie: 0.00am!!! which is obviously waking me up every night.
Any ideas can these alerts be changed and how? They were all set at different times in the Nokia I would never set a reminder at 0.00am

You could go into outlook and change the alert in there to correspond to the iPhone alert settings.
Chances are the alert in outlook is setup to do that and is transferring over to the iPhone. I just looked at my iPhone for somethings like birthdays and I have them setup to remind me 7 days in advance which is not a default for the iPhone (I think the max it can do is 2 days so you have to set a different one in outlook to get it into the phone).
The other thing you might want to look at in outlook is to see what time the appointment or thing you want a reminder for is set at. If it is set as an all day event (so 00:00 am through 11:59:59 pm) and you have it setup to remind you on that day it will do so at 00:00. If you change the event to have a start time of like 8 am and remind you 30 mins to 1 hour early, it should stop waking you up.
That is how I set mine up so that I don't have those annoying reminders going off at all hours of the night.
Hope that helps.

Bulk change of calendar items

I had this sync problem with my Palm, and ended up with all of my appointments going into the Unfiled calendar. I want most of them to be in my business calendar. Is there a reasonably easy way to select a lot of them and tell it to change them all at once. I am going through month by month, shift-clicking to select, then ctrl-clicking to get the pulldown menu to change the calendar of the selected items.
It's just kind of tedious. Any better way?
Thanks, Tony

Final comment on this topic I hope. The list view is nice in the sense that I can see all my iCal items in a list. However, changing the calendar for the items is incredibly slow. It takes roughly one minute per item. Even if I am changing them in the calendar, as long as the list is open it is really slow.
It will be faster to use the calendar view to change the items, but the list view to check to make sure I got them all. This is really sad. I hope Apple can put a little more effort into these basic productivity apps.
Cheers,
Tony
