An introduction to scripting VI using Perl or Powershell
David Deeths posted a blog on VMware Communities with the VMworld labs of Perl and scripting.
Hello, my name is David Deeths and I’m a new contributor to the VMware Developer Blog. I wanted to share with the community the scripting lab we put together for VMworld 2008. This is a great introduction to scripting with the VI Toolkits in Perl or PowerShell. The PowerShell version doesn’t require any programming or scripting experience at all.
The labs will help you get started with scripting VMware Infrastructure to enable automation, extensibility, and integration with existing tools. When we ran this at VMworld, we had about 600 attendees and it was so popular some students camped out in line to attend the lab a second time. We had so many folks request a way to share this with their teams that we decided to publish the whole thing for the community. Read the rest of this entry »
Exchange 14 Video
We’ve been hard at work on Exchange 14 (E14) for a few years now, and although we’ve shared a lot of details and code with customers on our TAP & Live@edu programs, we haven’t been too chatty publicly. That’s going to be changing over the coming months, starting with this first introductory video[1] with myself and Jim Lucey, the product manager for Exchange Labs, to talk a little bit about some of the work we’ve been doing.
One of the biggest things that’s different in E14 is that we started from day 1 two years ago with the goal of building a product on a single codebase that could be deployed in the way Exchange has been for over a decade in on-premise environments, as well as also be deployed in a service environment and scale to (eventually) hundreds of millions of users.

Putty Connection Manager
I think PuTTY is one of the best open-source utilities, hardly any day goes by without me using this terminal. The only thing I miss is that you can have one PuTTY session per window - Of course, you can always right-click in the top window which gives you the option to open another PuTTY terminal.
A while ago I read about PuTTY Connection Manager, this is the solution when you manage more than one putty session in a window. PuTTY Connection Manager is still in alpha but is working pretty stable. You have to create a database when you can store all your sessions and open the PuTTY or telnet session in tabs.
When you run Windows as normal user, you have to change NTFS security for your account so it has change rights on the folder “C:\Program Files\PuTTY Connection Manager” and you can store the PuTTY Connection Manager database.
Advanced Event Viewer
Advanced Event Viewer allows you to view all the Event logs of all your servers in a single view. The program is easy to install and easy to use. It works without agents or database server making it the ultimate event viewer for your network.
Default Passwords
Last night I visited a friend to help him secure his wireless router. The admin account of this router had a password but my friend did not remember it. A reset to factory defaults fixed the issue. I did not feel like downloading the usermanual of 9 MB, instead I visited the following sites:
From above mentioned sites I coud find the admin password for this perticular router. Once before these sites helped to log into a NashuaTec printer/copier.
Merry Christmans
A merry Crhistmas to everyone, I hope you enjoy your holidays. Take care and all the best.
