PowerShell –Managing the Datadog Cloud Service

Mar 28, 2017 | Scripts, Windows Server | 2 |

PowerShell to the rescue again! Datadog is a Cloud service for aggregating real-time metrics, events and logs from all your servers. The easiest way is to install an agent and let it report via HTTPS directly to the internet or via a web proxy. Another cloud aggregation solution that I’m more familiar with is Microsoft Operations Management Suite (OMS). Both of these services provide access via PowerShell.

#MVPDays – Storage Spaces Direct – Getting your feet wet

Mar 15, 2017 | Hyper-V, HyperConverged, MVPDays, S2D, Windows Server | 0 |

Today at the #MVPDays Vancouver we talked to people who had never heard of Microsoft Storage Spaces Direction (S2D). It’s hard to believe, but yes there are people out there that haven’t had the chance to get up to date on the latest Windows Server 2016 Operating System. This is usually due to meetings, ongoing projects and running older version of the Windows OS. So what were the big take aways from the session?

Opening/Upgrading SCCM 2012 R2 PowerShell

Mar 13, 2017 | SCCM, Scripts, Windows Server | 0 |

Nothing truly new here, but it is a new year and a new environment for me. I’ve just sat down at my seat at a customer’s location and wanted to inventory a bunch of things inside their System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2 CU3 environment. Regardless it’s older and we’re in the process of migrating to Configuration Manager 2016! Exciting times ahead! In any case, I installed the Configuration Manager 2012 R2 console on my Windows 7 laptop (64-bit). See where things are going. We’re not running the latest and greatest… yet 😉
