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…

Backup VMs in a Hyper-V Cluster (Core-version)
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…
Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 with Failover Cluster

So I made a template for that as well. There is only a few variables needed to change for it to rock. Check…
Batch Ping Tool/IP-Scanner
