New ad-hoc project: Learn how to create scheduled tasks in Powershell.
- Write and debug your script. Make sure there is nothing wrong with it.
- Store it in a place that it is easy for you to get to, such as C:\scripts\powershell.ps1
- Go to Task Scheduler and schedule your task
- Go to a folder, such as Task Scheduler Library -> Microsoft -> Windows.
- Right-click and select "Create New Task".
- Go to the "Actions" tab and select "New..."
- "Program/script:" = "powershell.exe"
- "Add arguments (optional):" = the path to your script.
- OK
- Setup your triggers -> OK.
- Profit!
Heh. This is in response to me discovering that the various tasks in question exist solely within the Task Scheduler GUI. So if the server blew up, they're gone (despite a script exists to configure a new server, except the tasks). My goal is to the tasks to the build script.
How about have the script available to you on the network somewhere, run
invoke-command -ComputerName <TargetServer> -ScriptBlock <script>? -

Next task, getting my new desktop built and ready to go. I have no idea what hardware it even has. Oh, and have to set up my office phone.
You have a office phone . . . and a "proper" office?
I have a full office, fully dedicated one. And a proper Yealink office phone.
Which phone? Hope it is not one of the old T3X series. I hated those things.. Always so slow to respond to initial button press.
And get yourself a Plantronics CS540 or similar DECT headset. I cannot live without mine.

That is intentional. You call them now to prepare for a holiday.

Also, that ad came out before Easter.

Just installed Fedora Cinnamon Desktop on my laptop. So smooth and speedy.
What's good on Fedora... KVM, VirtualBox, ?

My first choice is KVM, since you have a desktop running use virt-manager to control the things. VirtualBox still works in a pinch.

I agree, KVM. I started on VirtualBox and switched. KVM was better.

@scottalanmiller Dont you need to load specific driver modules for Suse? I tried this the other week on a laptop and didnt know what wireless module to use for my hardware. Ended up with no wifi, and shortly after that a NIFO.

Depends on the hardware. I'm finding out now for this desktop.

Cool it's already there on a default install. Just need to update it.
