Diepsneeuw Biken
Na het ruimen van de oprit en partijtje American Football-bal gooien met de buren, het kind in mezelf niet langer kunnen bedwingen. Tussen het inhalen van achterstallig klassement door toch even de bike uit de garage gehaald.
Af en toe eens stoppen voor een fotootje is het ideale excuus om weer op adem te komen. Fotograferen tijdens het rijden was er vandaag niet bij ;-)
…En toen was het battery-pack leeg. Het middag maal was ten andere ook snel verteerd op deze manier :-)
Google Wave Invite to spare
I’ve got some Google Wave invites left. Put a reply in the comments if you’re in desperate need for one…

E2K7 notes from the field
Pro-Exchange: Exchange 2007 Notes from the Field
I’ve always wanted to attend an event organized by the Belgian Exchange Community. With 2 very small children there’s always something that seems to pop up last minute however.
Well not this time. The invitation mentioned “lessons learned” and “Exchange 2007 implementations” in one sentence, which sounded like a good combination to me.
Indeed, in a presentation that lasted about 2 hours Tonino covered his personal experiences with Exchange implementations. Both general recommendations concerning the management of an implementation project and technical solutions were discussed. The level of the presentation was just about right. No too technical (don’t want to discus reg keys for 2 hours) but not too much sales pitch either.
I had an interesting evening and will certainly attend some more events in the future!
Note: I’ll add links to the presentation and the Chopsticks video when they become available online.
Adding permissions on printers using powershell
I needed to add a group of users to the ACL of all our printers. As we currently have about 100 printers; I looked if I could use powershell for this.
Currently on Windows server 2008 there are no built in cmdlets to administrate printers. But I did find a useful powershell script with everything I needed.
I ended up with only executing one line of code to add the group to all the printers.
Get-printer printserver | add-printerpermission -user “domain\groupname” -AceType Allow -accessmask ManagePrinters
The script can be found here, I’m posting the google translation link as my Russian isn’t that good;-)
Split CSV to TXT
Question: How to split a csv file in one txt file per line? The first column in the CSV provides the name for the TXT-file and the second one the contents.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion for /f %%i in (inp.csv) do set var=%%i& set name=!var:~0,6!& set phone=!var:~7,4!& echo !phone!>>!name!.txt EndLocal
AD Recycle Bin
I just came across a post by Jonathan Medd over at simple-talk.com about the new Active Directory recycle bin in Windows Server 2008 R2.
It’s definitely worth the read.
Terminal server 2008: Access denied error and eventlog not starting
On our teminal server 2008 farm we had some serious problems the last couple of days. Whenever users tried to login they got a “Access Denied” error. Only administrator accounts were able to log in. Additionally the eventlog, the McAfee services and some other services weren’t started automatically.
It was even not possible to start the eventlog manually.
We saw this issue on all our Terminal servers once they were joined to the domain. We finally nailed down the cause of these problems to be an group policy who configures the language settings.
Apparently this GPO changed also the language settings for the local system account. Which caused these services not to start anymore.
Pieter Wigleven posted already about a similar problem he had with Hyper-V and how he fixed it.
Update: Microsoft released a hotfix for this problem: KB951430.
