Determining DNS name of clients via command line

Hi there,
I'm trying to find a quick way to interrogate all my clients (I use Apple Remote Desktop so can issue terminal commands to all of them at once) to find out their DNS name.
I'm having an issue with Windows DNS randomly not giving my clients a DNS entry so I'd like to send a command to each to return this information.
I can do: host my-client-ip-address
But I can't figure out how to tell make it generic so I can send the command to all the machines at once.
If I use:
ifconfig en0|grep "inet "|cut -d ' ' -f 2
It returns the client ip but I'm unable to pass that to host.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can do this?
Many thanks!!

I assume since you posted in the 10.5 Server forums that you are speaking about 10.5 clients?
10.5's AD plug-in supports dynamic DNS (for the forward lookup only). If you are not using the AD plug-in then of course it's the Windows Server's responsibility to maintain the DNS entries. The only way I know to do this is via the DHCP service which implies you need to be using its DHCP service. The service can be configured to support NT clients which is essential how the Windows Server sees the Macs when they're not bound to AD. For best results bind them to AD.
The 'hostname' command will return the name which the client has discovered for itself. This defaults to DNS first. If DNS fails to deliver then this then goes to the Bonjour name of the client. hostname needs no options and therefore by design will act generically.

Setting IIS W3C Extended Log File settings via command line, registry or configuration file

I am currently in need of a way to set IIS W3C Extended Log File settings via command line, registry or configuration file. More specifically the 'Bytes Sent (sc-bytes)' and 'Bytes Received (cs-bytes)' settings that are not enabled by default.
If anyone knows where I can locate these setting (outside of the GUI) for all IIS versions that would be greatly appreciated.

I believe I have found a valid solution. You must have the WebAdministration module loaded. I hope this helps someone.
Use the following syntax to view current W3C fields:
Get-WebConfiguration -filter system.applicationhost/sites/sitedefaults/logfile | select-object -expandProperty logExtFileFlags
Use the following syntax to set W3C fields:
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -Filter System.Applicationhost/Sites/SiteDefaults/logfile -Name LogExtFileFlags -Value "Date,Time,ClientIP,UserName,SiteName,ComputerName,ServerIP,Method,UriStem,UriQuery,HttpStatus,Win32Status,BytesSent,BytesRecv,TimeTaken,ServerPort,UserAgent,Cookie,Referer,ProtocolVersion,Host,HttpSubStatus"}

Turn on "Real-time preotection" via command line

Hello!
We have a cient without networking resources and I need to turn on the "Real-time protection" which is currently in OFF state.
How can I do that via command line?
I tried to review the "mpcmdrun" command but did not found proper switch to turning on this service.
Regards,
Tamas

You could do a regedit command to silently import a .reg file with the setting in it:
create a .reg file from the following key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Real-Time Protection
Name: DisableRealtimeMonitoring
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0
Then import it silently with this command:
regedit /s C:\ExamplePath\Example.reg
You could also do a PowerShell command:
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Real-Time Protection' -Name DisableRealtimeMonitoring -Value 0

Add protocol args with quotes via command-line

I am creating a small script to insert objects into the SGD databases (ENS) via command-line and perl. I have some difficulties with protocol-arguments which require quotes (").
For example:
/opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella object new_windowsapp --name "o=applications/cn=new_winapp" --width 600 --height 800 --protoargs "<protocol-arguments>"
The problem comes when I need to add multiple protocol-arguments with quotes like: -dir "c:\Program Files\Application Directory"
Can someone tell me how to add those arguments including the quotes?
Thanks,
Remold Krol | Everett

Try to use the single quote ( ' )
say, for instance
protoargs 'dir "c:\Program Files\Application Directory" '
That works for me.
Regards.

Error -402 upon installing an extension via Command Line

When I try to install my extension via command line, i receive the following error message:
"Failed to install, status = -402!"
What does this error code -402 mean?
I found someone with a similar problem in the forums: Re: Extension Manager CC failed to install extension
He/She had file names containing non-ASCII characters. But i couldn't find any non-ASCII characters in my project or extension.
Thanks in advance,

unfortunately unchecking the option did not work. This is what I found in the logs:

How to merge multiple documents via command line (Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.2)?

I'm searching solutions to merge multiple documents (all stored in one folder) via command line or batch file to a single PDF-File...
Is there a way to do this?
Finaly I want to control this from a application written in MS-Access. So, perhaps there are some features already integrated in Access to do this?
Thanks for answer!

If you have some programming experience you could probably do this using VBA from within MS Access to control Acrobat via OLE.
Lots of examples on the Web.
Hope this helps

Adobe Reader 11 (XI) won't open file via command line

Hello,
I have posted this question to probably inapropriate topic earlier today, so I am repeating it again.
I installed newest Adobe Reader XI today and when I tried to open certain pdf file via command line, it reported a syntax error. Now, this syntax worked so far on versions 9 and 10 (I checked today with them and it is working), so my question is - where can I find new syntax, if there is any? Googling didn't help. Or what else could wrong?
In previous versions I was able to open pdf file (on page 5) like this (all was taken from Help file "Open parameters")
"CompletePathToAdobeReader"/A"page=5""CompletePathToPDF",
ie
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"/A"page=5""d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
but now - not that it doesn't open specific page, but it doesn't want to open file at all.
edit:
Operating systems running: Windows 7, Windows XP
Thank you.
Message was edited by: v604

Yes, it reported correctly becuase there is a syntax error in your command. Try spaces between the /A switch and open parameter. Try this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "page=5" "d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
Hope this helps.

[SOLVED] How to Crop an MP4 Video via Command-line?

I have ffmpeg, mpg123, and mencoder. Does anyone know of a way I could use any of those to crop an mp4 video via command-line? I am trying to take off the black space above and below a video. Thanks in advance!
Last edited by tony5429 (2009-04-12 00:12:57)

I don't think it's possible to crop without re-encoding, but you can crop from the command line with ffmpeg and mencoder. Not sure about mpg123 - I think that's for playing audio but I could be wrong there.
Anyway, with ffmpeg you can do cropping by using -croptop, -cropbottom, -cropleft, and -cropright. So if you wanted to crop 16 pixels off of the top and the bottom, your command line would look something like this:
ffmpeg -i <input file> -croptop 16 -cropbottom 16 <video encoding options> <audio encoding options> <output file>
With mencoder you use the "crop" video filter, like this:
mencoder <input file> -o <output file> -vf crop=320:208:0:16 <other options>
where the "320:208:0:16" means that the resulting picture is 320 pixels wide, 208 pixels high, and the 0:16 is the x,y position of the cropped area.
These command lines are just really very basic examples - ffmpeg and mencoder have a LOT of options. Way too many to explain here. If you don't believe me, just try reading through the mencoder man page sometime. (There's an online version of it at: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html)
Hope this helps!!

How to see via command line blocked mails

Im having a problem...i have a C100 Ironport appliance and i want to know via command line, how to grep and see mails that never went delivered.
For example...i know that someone, like [email protected] send to my exchange server an email...but in exchange never entered. So i assume that it was filtered by Ironport.
I go to the command line, use grep and 13 and search for [email protected] and i see something like this
Wed Apr 18 14:17:54 2007 Info: MID 3977209 ICID 8813638 From: <pedro>
Wed Apr 18 14:18:44 2007 Info: MID 3977209 ready 3019672 bytes from <pedro>
I see that 2 mails came from pedro....so i want to see what happened to them...they were bounced? rejected? Delivered?
I dont have any email in the local quarantine... and i want to know how to track what happened to those emails that never entered to my exchange server.
Is there any command?
Than you!

Wanted to add that you can shortcut the "grep" process by putting everything on one line.
grep -i "Mid 3977209" mail_logs
grep -i "ICID 8813638" mail_logs
grep -i "From: " mail_logs
basically
grep -i "pattern" mail_logs
-i ===> ignore case

How to install Developer Tools via command line

I followed the link you gave. The only download I saw was for Xcode 4, and they either wanted $5 to purchase it from the app store or a 1 year mac developer license thing which was $100.
