Help setting VM's to use Static MAC using Powershell

Hi all,
I would like to create a powershell script to set all VM's with a Static MAC address on one of our Hyper-V Clusters.
So far I've managed to do this in the gui buy creating a new MAC Pool then shutting down 1 of the VM's and changing the network card from dynamic to static 00:00:00:00:00:00 within it's properties. After the changes are applied the VM is given a MAC address
from my MAC pool range.
I'd now like to create a script to do this for the remaining VM's - could somebody possibly help me out.. I have tried using the 'view script' button but I don't understand the output.
Many thanks for your help
Robbie

To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
    * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
    * Built-in FireWire

Help setting up color management profiles on mac

I've downloaded the lasted drivers for my Canon MP620 printer, and installed them. But when I go to color management in the print module and click on managed by printer and then select others, the Canon drivers are not there. Wondering if I'm missing a step here for getting the Canon profiles to the right place. I'm using mac os 10.6
Thanks

From my little experience with Canon 'multi' printers, I would forget printing out of Lightroom with anything other than Managed by Printer. The Others you mention are profiles necessary for allowing Lightroom to manage the printing. I've set up two Canon multi models (MX860 & MP560). Neither managed to produce decent prints using Managed by Lightroom - largely because of the way that the Canon driver controls are configured. I talked at length with Canon (UK) about a work around, but in the end they gave up. That's the downside. The upside is that both printers produced great quality prints using the Solution Menu software that comes with the printers.
Unless, of course, someone knows better.

Help setting up Apple mail using AT&T settings

I'm trying to set up my AT&T e-mail on my MacBook, which is running OS X Tiger (pretty sure -- definitely not Leopard). I know it's a POP3 account, and I have the incoming mail and outgoing mail settings.
When I click on mail, it starts to walk me through setting up a new account. Everything works great until I get to the outgoing mail part. It tries to connect to the server and just hangs there. I usually end up canceling because it's taking so long. If I wait long enough, I get an error message that says it couldn't connect to the outgoing mail server.
Does anyone have any experience trying to set up Apple mail with AT&T settings? If so, I'd really love the help! Thanks in advance...

AT&T had to give you more than that: port numbers for each server (incoming and outgoing), authentication method to use, and whether or not SSL should be enabled for either. We need to know that information.

Help setting up internet on a I-Mac I purchase from an auction

I purchase a Imac from an auction.It was used in a school envoirment, logon gives me student,teacher and tech. I can log in under teacher but I can not get permission to access the TC/ICP ? to install and setup my DSL 2wire connection.??? If I purchase the OSX will it reformat like a MS-XP product will do

1dent,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Your iMac is most likely a G3 so this forum has plenty of sympathetic ears. However, you will find additional help here.
Short answer, yes, you can reformat the drive and pave over everything.
You will need an install disk. You can buy universal CDs or model specific CDs. The iMac CDs will be cheaper if you only have iMacs. Otherwise, a universal install CD will cover all models.
May I suggest partitioning the drive to give a little room to backup system files unless you only have a 4 gig drive and need all the room you can spare on your primary drive. Plus, with fragmented files, reformatting will give you a clean start.
As for getting on the internet, iMacs were advertised and sold as internet ready. The first iMac I touched was delivered to a client while I was visiting his home. We were truely connected to the web in under 15 minutes. Your install CD will give you a clean install back to that state. BTW, check with the school, they may have a spare CD in some closet or drawer.

Need help setting up a project using Struts

Hello,
I have been following tutorials on using struts and came to succeed in creating the first examples from the book I am mainly relying on. Although there is only one problem left which isn't addressed in the concerned book, which is the fact I have 3 jar files which remain locked when I try to undeploy the application. These files are commons-digester.jar, commons-validator.jar and struts.jar which are located in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
I have been testing a few things in order to find the problem and it would seem to be with the ActionServlet since removing it from the web.xml configuration file made it possible to undeploy successfully.
The application I am trying to do is a simple example based on the struts-blank.war file that comes with Struts 1.2.4 with a few modifications:
-changed the entry for message-resources in struts-config.xml for
<message-resources parameter="application" />
-Moved the application.properties file to the WEB-INF/Classes folder instead of having it in WEB-INF/Classes/Java/resources
Thanks in advance

Set Primary DNS Suffix Using Powershell

For a Windows Server 2012 installation, what Powershell cmdlet can be used to change the Primary DNS Suffix ? I've tried using 'Set-DnsClientGlobalSetting -SuffixSearchList contoso.com' but this only alters the DNS Suffix Search List, not the primary DNS
suffix.

Set userpath to homefolder using powershell

I've created a partition " H:\ " with several folders for different usergroups.
One of these groups is ICT.
When i run the following script the path for the users is set to the correct folder
Get-ADUser -filter * -SearchBase "OU=All_ICT,DC=LUMO,DC=local" |
% { Set-ADUser $_ -HomeDrive "H:" -HomeDirectory ("\\ServerLUMO\ICT_share\" + $_.SamAccountName) }
The problem is that this path isn't applied. When i go to the usersprofile in AD and i backspace one caracter and retype it i can click " Apply" and it works like a charm....
My question is, how can i achieve this in the powershellscript?

sorry, same problem. It doesn't automatically make the folders for the users
Ah sorry, I didn't realize that you didn't have the paths already created. Try this:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase 'OU=All_ICT,DC=LUMO,DC=local' | ForEach {
$homeDir = Join-Path -Path '\\ServerLUMO\ICT_share' -ChildPath $_.SamAccountName
If (!(Test-Path -Path $homeDir)) { New-Item -Path $homeDir -ItemType Directory }
Set-ADUser $_.SamAccountName -HomeDrive 'H:' -HomeDirectory $homeDir

Thank You!!!
sagarpdalvi

Hi Sagarpdalvi,
To set the Safe mode password with powershell, please refer to the cmdlet Install-ADDSDomainController, to enable global catalog(GC), please run the cmdlet "Set-ADObject" after install Active Directory on the core server, to configure Reverse Lookup zone,
please refer to the cmdlet
Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone.
To configure DC with powershell, please check the scripts:
Installing a Domain Controller on Windows Server 2012
R2 Core
Enabling and Disabling the Global Catalog
To configure DNS, the Domain Name System (DNS) Server Cmdlets should be helpful for you:

VMM 2012R2 - cannot extract IP using Powershell

Hello everyone,
I have 4 Hyper-V VMs in SCVMM 2012R2, 2 x 2012R2 and 2 x 2008R2, and when I run the following command, I only get an IP back for the 2012 ones.
Get-SCVirtualMachine
"VMname"
|
select
-ExpandProperty
VirtualNetworkAdapters
|
Selectname,IPv4Addresses
Name            IPv4Addresses
2008VM01        {}
2008VM02        {}
2012VM01        {10.20.20.20}
2012VM02       {10.20.20.21}
They are all on the same VM network, which does not have a VMM IP Pool, it has a normal DHCP server, which has got the relevant reservations for all of them, and the IP's are all defined manually within the VM's OS. Indeed, connectivity to/from all of them
over IP is fine.
In VMM they are all set to "dynamic IPaddress" and "static mac address", and none of them were built from a template, all manually created.
So it is all working OK, communications-wise, I just can't expose the IPs for the 2008 ones through Powershell (nor does VMM see it in the "Connection details" tab in VMM), which I need to do for a script I (am trying to!) run..
I do have other 2008 VMs that Powershell can see the IPs of, so it is just these two..
Thoughts appreciated !
David

This was resolved by upgrading the Integration Tools.. they were on ver 6.1.7601.17514, they're now ver on 6.3.9600.16384

Creating multiple mailboxes using Powershell for users who already exist in AD

Hi there,
Wondering if anyone can help, I am wanting to use Powershell to run a command which references a CSV file to create a mailbox for a user who already exists in AD.
It needs to reference the username, to ensure the correct user has a mailbox created (as mentioned they exist already in the domain), place them on a specific database (e.g DB1) and assign them an email address as well as possibly an alias email address
too.
Can anyone provide me the headings of the CSV file which would be needed as well as the powershell command to run. It would be great too if I could also set the quota sizes for the user at the same time of creating the mailbox, but if not possible or complicated
I can run a script afterwards to do this. I would only want to warn them when their mailbox is 1.5GB in size and stop them sending when it reaches 2GB.
Thanks

So create a csv file with the following headers and data
UserID, Alias
UserID should be the user SamAccountName, and the Alias is the Mailbox Alias that you want to set. Supposing that the csv file is named users.csv and located under C:\ , open the Exchange Management Console and run:
$users = Import-Csv c:\users.csv
Foreach ($user in $users) {
Enable-Mailbox -Identity $user.UserID -alias $user.alias -database 'DB1'
Set-Mailbox -Identity $user.UserID -IssueWarningQuota 1.5gb -ProhibitSendQuota 2gb

You must be using an update CD. You need the software that has the full version first - install that, then you can use the update one if needed. I know, cuz I made the same mistake - lol

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).
