Unrar finished torrents (uTorrent) and delete archives (rar)

February 24th, 2011

I couldn’t find any unpacker that would extract and delete archives for a torrent after a certain period of time or after a certain seed ratio had been reached. I’ve noticed quite alot of people complain about this on, for example, uTorrent’s official forums.

So I wrote this script that will wait for a set amount of hours when a torrent finishes before extracting, deleting archives, moving files into its right location, scraping with EMM or EMM-R (command-line) AND notify XBMC of your new download and update its library.

This script will NOT stop your torrents.

Exchange 2003 to 2010 Migration

December 23rd, 2010

Well I had started to write a guide for this already, but just when I was to create this entry I came across a guide that’s already really good.

So I’m just going to link to Pete Long’s blog where I found it:

Move files in folders and subfolders older than one year

October 26th, 2010

A colleague asked me if I could write a script that would move files within a folder or its subfolders that were older than one year into a new location but still keep the directory structure.
I figured it would be quite a challenge so I decided to do it for him; kind as I am =)

As I haven’t been providing this blog with something new in a long time I figured I could make it useful to more people if I added a few things, like different date formats and other various settings.

So here it goes:

THE ultimate loginscript

July 17th, 2010

I was given the task to rewrite the login script for a company, they had 4 sites and about 20 login scripts for various purposes.
So I wrote a general one which took care of all the general stuff.

You may look at my earlier post about an inventory script, because this script will use that one.

You may get this message when you open up Exchange Management Console (EMC) for Exchange 2010.

"Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client received an HTTP server error status (500), but the remote service did not Include any other information about the cause of the failure. It was running command 'Discover-ExchangeServer -UseWIA $true ..."

And you may also not be able to connect to your Exchange server from Exchange Management Shell together with the following error message:

"VERBOSE: Connecting to servername.domainname.local New-PSSession : [servername.domainname.local ] Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client received an HTTP server error status (500), but the remote service did not include any other information about the cause of the failure."

Backup VMs in a Hyper-V Cluster (Core-version)

April 21st, 2010

As far as I know, after some googling I couldn’t find any program that could take backups of Virtual Machines running on Hyper-V Core when the .VHD files were located on a Cluster Shared Storage.

If you read my previous post you can probably understand you aren’t able to install any advanced programs in the Core-version either because many required runtime files and libraries aren’t available.

Therefore I decided to write a PowerShell script that would export the machines to a network storage server.

Updated 2010-05-12 14:40 UTC +1 (Various fixes/Added option to exclude some virtual machines)

Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 with Failover Cluster

March 22nd, 2010

Microsoft Windows Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 is a free version much like Windows Server 2008 R2 Core, except it comes with the Hyper-V role preconfigured.

The only thing you will have to take in consideration before installing such a server is that Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 only comes with a PowerShell/CMD-prompt. So to configure such a server you should learn some Windows commands and PowerShell cmdlets.
