IMAPing 2.0

So, what is IMAPing? It is the solution to these problems!! Once installed, it will monitor the IMA, Spooler and NetLogon service to verify they are functioning properly and if they are not, then send you an e-mail notifying you there is a problem and that IMAPing will try to restart the service! It is that simple and that powerful!

leider keine freeware, aber es gibt eine evaluation copy…

Free new utility runs script when client IP or name changes

Dannis Damen, one of the two DADE Power Tools guys (see their other tools) and an employee of Login Consultants has created free utility called ReconnAct! that runs on a Terminal Server and creates two environment variables: CURRENT_CLIENTIP and CURRENT_CLIENTNAME. These variables are automatically updated when a user connects from a different client.

To use this tool, you simply add a small 18kb executable called ReconnAct!.exe to the users’ or servers’ logon scripts. This process writes the two environment variables and updates them whenever one changes.

The best part is that you can also configure this tool to run a process (script, executable, etc.) whenever one of these parameters changes, so we finally have a way to update printer mappings when users log on from other workstations!

Citrix vs. Windows Terminal Services

Ever since Microsoft began bundling Terminal Services with Windows 2000 Server, users have asked, “Why should I pay for Citrix when Windows Terminal Services is free?”

“Sometimes you shouldn’t,” says Tim Reeser, chairman and CFO of Engineering Computer Consultants, a Citrix Platinum Reseller in Ft. Collins, Colo., and author of the recently published book Citrix MetaFrame for Windows Server 2003: The Official Guide. “When people ask, I tell them that for any deployment under 75 users, you can do reasonably well with just Terminal Services.”
