I'm trying to install SNMPc Workgroup Edition version 7.1.1, and need to preset the 'Delete History Entries Older Than X Days' but I can only seem to do it manually, through the GUI. Does anyone know how to script it? I'm thinking there might be a setting I could add to the snmpc.ini file? -Frink

I have made a clone of a server and wish to rename it (and change its IP Address) so I can have both on my network. The machine is an AD box with it's own domain. Any idea how best to go about the renaming? There is no DNS server in use as every machine has a manually assigned fixed IP Address...

Cheers. Do you know if that includes an installer to only install the ones I need, or do I have to select the ones to install? Do you have details of the URL? - Frink

Hallo, I need to update some servers from a DVD. I have internet access, but the servers themselves have no network, usb or internet connection. I can use Microsoft Baseline Security Analyser to determine what patches I need, but is there any tool where I can somehow get all these on a DVD...

Brilliant. I was stuck on that one. Can you recommend a good resource for Powershell Syntax? The websites (except Tek-Tips, of cource) all seem to have the same noddy examples. It'd be handy to have a complete language reference, with examples, to complement the Get-Help stuff. Thanks again, -...
