Live PowerShell With Karl Prosser

This uses my AS function to make the expression more declarative but basically its a wrapper around win32_networkadapterconfiguration that projects and flattens the data in a nice Pscustomobject that is easy to use in scripts and export to csv files or whatnot. I use this to do inventory on IP settings over our whole network

function get-ipinformation
{
process {
    (Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -computer $_ ) | ? { $_.IPenabled } |
    select (AS Server , __server,
        DNSHostName ,  DNSHostName ,
        Mac , Macaddress,
        Description, Description,
        DNSDomain , DNSDomain,
        FirstIPAddress ,{ ($_.IPAddress) | select -first 1 },
        IPAddressAll , { [string] $_.IPAddress} ,
        IPSubnet , {($_.IPSubnet) | select -first 1 } ,
        IPSubnetall , { [string] $_.IPSubnet },
        DefaultIPGateway, { ($_.DefaultIPGateway) | select -first 1 } ,
        DefaultIPGatewayALL, { [string] $_.DefaultIPGateway },
        DHCPEnabled , { [bool] $_.DHCPEnabled },
        DHCPServer,  DHCPServer,
        PrimaryDNSServer , { ( $_.DNSServerSearchOrder)[0]  },
        SecondaryDNSServer , { ( $_.DNSServerSearchOrder)[1]  },
        AllDNSServer , { [string] $_.DNSServerSearchOrder },
        WINSPrimaryServer , WINSPrimaryServer,
        WINSSecondaryServer , WINSSecondaryServer,

        DNSDomainSuffixSearchOrder, DNSDomainSuffixSearchOrder,

       )

ST POP Connector for Exchange server is designed as a replacement of the POP3 Connector in Small Business Server,
but can be used with any Exchange or SMTP server.  ST POP Connector provides the following benefits over the default POP3 Connector in SBS

• Download email as often as once per minute
• Supports leaving emails on the POP server for a specified number of days or indefinitely
• Ability to only download emails from the POP server from a particular point in time, preventing emails that have already been downloaded from from being duplicated (This is very helpful if the POP state file is lost and you are setting up the mail accounts for a second time or if you are transitioning from using Outlook to download the POP email and keeping a copy on the server)
• Ability to archive messages
• Supports all versions of Exchange or any SMTP server
• Supports downloading from GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo and other online accounts with POP access
• Supports SSL connections
• Detailed logging and debugging viewable in a log file and Event Viewer
• Large attachments

There are also very interesting possibilities and uses used in conjunctions with a product like Gmail for your domain where you can have Google for your domain being the main place email is landing, giving you a free “online backup” as well as not requiring an enterprise grade always on internet connection for your SMB exchange server, and also not having to waste incoming bandwidth of the 90% of mail traffic which is spam. Using this you’d also get free spam protection from Google mail. However you still will be using exchange and outlook thus getting the best of both worlds, having that enterprise quality exchange/outlook business experience.

We are providing ST POP Connector for FREE for up to 3 mailboxes and
the full version is free for Microsoft MVP’s.  Just email us with a link to your MVP profile to info at shelltools dot net.
