Need help scripting the Essentials Server Backup configuration in PowerShell

I'm trying to write a PowerShell script that automates the setup and configuration of the Server Backup feature within WS2012 R2 Essentials. There are a number of cmdlets for defining the backup source files and target location such as add-wssbackuptarget,
add-wssbackupvolume, new-wssbackuptarget, etc.
These cmdlets all have a required -Disk parameter and I can't for the life of me figure out the syntax for it. I've tried the disk ID, drive letter, LUN, volume label, and disk number. All of the examples in the help files are using variables instead of
explicitly entering a value; I've tried using the example scripts and those fail too.
So here's a quick example:
Get-WssBackupPolicy | Add-WssBackupVolume -Disk ??
I obviously need more parameters than that but the point is, no matter what other parameters I type and no matter what I enter for the value of -Disk, I always get "Cannot bind parameter 'Disk'. Cannot convert the "D:\" (or whatever I've entered)
value of "System.String" to type "Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.DataProtection.ServerBackup.ObjectModel.BackupDisk".
And like I said in the opening paragraph, I get that same error for any and all cmdlets that use the -Disk parameter. Does anyone know how to properly structure format the -Disk value?
Thanks

Don't worry I wasn't sure as well, I had to raise a SR to understand it too!
I have a similar set up to yours and have webutil working successfully.
What you need to do is to install and configure your application server on unix for webutil as well as windows.
From your post I see you are already reading the docs. Within chapters 2 and 3 both of which are titled "configuring web util", you will see points that refer to the application server, these are the ones that you need to follow.
Good luck

  • Need help with the Modulation Toolkit to configure a QPSK Modulation

    Hi! I'm
    trying to build a CDMA system with the Modulation Toolkit to use it later with
    a PXI-RF Product as a part of my thesis (I don't remember the exact model
    number because it's in my university and I'm home right now, sorry). But my problem right now is, I assume, a very simple one.
    I'm having
    some trouble understanding the MT Modulate PSK.vi and the MT
    Demodulate PSK.vi since I have them both connected and the output bit stream is
    not the same as the input bit stream. I'm guessing it's a problem with the sync
    parameters in the MT Generate Synchronization Parameter.vi because maybe I
    don't really understand how the sync bits work. I tried using a simple
    sync header but the output bit stream is always shorter than the input and shows
    only a little portion of the input bit stream and some of the 1's I used to
    create the sync header, and it gets worse when I increase the number of input
    bits.
    I'm
    attaching the simple vi I created to try to understand the mod-demod vi's, so
    if someone knows what I'm doing wrong it would be great if you let me know
    since I'm stuck in my thesis and understanding this issue will let me continue
    with the project.
    Thanks a
    lot in advance!

  • Need help regarding the location of Exchange 2013 Logs for parsing

    Hi, I am trying to create reports based on the logs that are created on my exchange server. I am using
    exchange 2013. My problem is that I cannot handle every log, and instead want specific types of logs.
    I need help finding the specific locations of the following types of logs (If they even exist), so that I can parse them and use them effectively:
    Audit Logs (Mailbox logons, Mailbox permission changes, Mailbox property changes,
    Exchange store changes)
    Mail Report Logs (Mailbox size and growth, Mailbox storage growth, Enabled users, Expired and Soon-to-Expire Mailboxes)
    Exchange Traffic Reports (Details on size and amount of messages sent and recieved, Internet traffic [to and from], Traffic between exchange users)
    I understand this might sound like a huge undertaking, but any help that can be provided would be appreciated.
    Again, I need information on the locations of these types of logs on the exchange server, so that I can parse them. Collecting them all and searching through them is not practical for my available resources.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Audit Logs (Mailbox logons, Mailbox permission
    changes, Mailbox property changes, Exchange
    store changes) ---- these are two type of logs, 1. mailbox audit logs and that is stored in each mailbox under dumpster
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff461930(v=exchg.150).aspx however you need to
    enable
    it for individual mailboxes... 2. admin audit log, this is stored into a system mailbox dumpster.... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335052(v=exchg.141).aspx
    Mail Report Logs (Mailbox size and growth, Mailbox
    storage growth, Enabled users, Expired and Soon-to-Expire Mailboxes) ---- there isn't any specific log for this, you would need to create some time of script to collect this every day for you and store it somewhere... This is a good start... http://www.stevieg.org/2011/06/exchange-environment-report/
    Exchange Traffic Reports (Details on size and
    amount of messages sent and recieved, Internet traffic [to and from], Traffic between exchange users) ----- This you can get from message tracking log... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124375(v=exchg.150).aspx

  • Need help setting up LDAP server for Address Book

    I've set up Panther servers before for AFP which is pretty simple but now the office I work at wants me to setup an LDAP server so they can share the same contact information, probably about 2,000+ entries. I'm guessing that this will have to be entered in the LDAP server entry by entry.
    I need to know how to setup the server and what settings need to be on the clients' computers, such as in Address Book.
    The server is an older G4 tower and I've got 8 computers hooked up to it on a simple network. I don't think I'll need to make the LDAP server accessible from outside the network but it's something I'll have to worry about for the future.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • Problem with SCs that created before the Name Server was configured

    Hello,
    I have created an SC and developed it.
    When I created it, the Name Server wasn't configured and because of that, when I created new DC for this SC I needed to write the vendor manually. Lets assume I wrote example.org.
    Sometime after I did configured the Name Server and I reserved example.org as a namespace prefix.
    When I create new SC and new DCs in it everything is OK: Instead of writing example.org as my vendor I can choose from a combo box between sap.com and my own which is example.org.
    The problem arises with the SC that has been developed before the Name server was configured: If I create new DC for it the vendor is shaded with sap.com inside with no option to change it, even though the previous DCs for this SC were created under the vendor example.org (which I entered manually).
    I assume I can (with a lot of manual work) create new SC and move the DCs (or only their code) to the newly created SC, where I have the option to choose, but I am looking for more simpler solution. For example, changing a certain configuration file at the SC or so.
    Anyone has an idea?
    Thank you in advance,
    Roy

    Is there any other reason behind your question.Yes, this forum is named "New to Java" and Tomcat questions shouldn't be asked here, even if people knows the answer to you question. You will probably get better and more detailed answers in a Tomcat forum. All othe guys there are actually using Tomcat, and they know the small differences between the different versions, and how they behave on different operating systems. They do also know if you need to make configurations changes, and where you should make them.
    So in future, please ask questions in a forum that is specific to the product that you are using.

  • I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

    I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

    You cannot do that.  The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address.  The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well).  You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
    You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
    I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

  • Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.

    Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.
    Anytime I select Vibrance to adjust the color of an image. The whole image turns Pink in the highlights when the slider is moved from "0" to - or + in value.  Can the Vibrance tool be reset to prevent this from happening? When this happens I cn not make adjustments...just turns Pink.
    Thanks,
    GD

    Thank you for your reply. 
    Yes, that does reset to “0” and the Pink does disappear.
    But as soon as I move the slider +1 or -1 or higher the image turns Pink in all of the highlights again, rather than adjusting the overall color.

  • Need help accessing the router web page.  I have been tol...

    Need help accessing the router web page.  I have been told my router is acting like a switch and the IP address is not in the proper range.  I have tried reseting the router (hold for 30 sec and unplug for 5 mins).  Didn't work.
    thanks

    What router are you using?  Almost all Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the default local IP address, but there is at least one that uses 192.168.16.1 , namely the WTR54GS  (not the WRT54GS).
    You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank (note: a few Linksys routers have a default user name of "admin" (with no quotes)), and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.
