I think Linney is on track for what my needs are, I don't know any VBScript or API calls, but I can handle basic batch files. Still learning... I'll use reg.exe to edit the entry and change the disk space used, the only thing I'm worried about is if it will get overwritten next time the PC...

In my quest to script everything I possibly can to save me time on mundane tasks, I'm trying to figure out a way to either reduce the space System Restore uses (preferred) or disable it completely (other option) via the command-line. I've googled but can only find references to starting the GUI...

I didn't know about that, it would probably be simpler to use it's built-in function then :-P I ended up using that FOR loop for about four other scripts, to remotely defrag, remotely delete cached profiles older than 45 days, and remotely change some registry entries. It was a big help.

This is great Freestone, thanks very much for the help.

This is great, thanks a lot. Are the parentheses necessary around the file name? Can you explain the logic here, how the %%i gets filled in with the file names?

I'm using a script to defragment a list of computers remotely. Right now, my script is a long list of "psexec" commands that start defrag.exe on each computer. But I'd like for the script to read a list of computer names in a text file, instead of me having to manually make a list inside of...

Thank-you Minue. Is it possible to assign just a portion of the pool to PAT'ing? I mean, instead of having two pools

We have a public IP block, but it only gives us ten IP's. I need to have one subnet (internal) NAT'd (using PAT) onto two of the public IP addresses, and the rest used for NAT/PAT'ing the other subnet. Is it possible to assign one subnet a range of IP's it is allowed to use, out of the entire...

Thanks Helen, I think I'll do that. While I was surfing around, I came across a SourceForge app - FreeMeter. It's still in beta (a lot of features aren't working yet), but it saves daily/weekly/monthly traffic stats, and doesn't require installation. I will mess around w/ the counters today...

I'm trying to monitor throughput on my server's Gb NIC. I tried NetStatLive, but it didn't work too well because it doesn't save traffic/throughput history. Does anyone know of a free (preferably) utility that exists for this?

In the past I've just looked up the default ports for the specific P2P app and added them to an extended ACL. It's not perfect (the user can change the ports), but you can also block the initial login servers, or re-route them to a dead IP.

I think you misunderstood me b. A .bat *can* be customized way more than an already-compiled .exe - I.E. SyncToy. Obviously you can dream up anything, code & compile, but a .bat gives you more options over something already coded.

I'd never messed with that SyncToy before...it's pretty cool, plus a slick GUI. Oh well...the .bat is simpler, and can be customized *way* more than an .exe

Reason for Writing I store everything in a folder called 'root', because I hate My Documents. Anyway, it's at C:\root and contains everything I use, nicely organized for easy back up. I got tired of looking through each individual folder, trying to remember which copy was newer, which copy was...

I have a Compaq Proliant DL580 server I bought from a bank that was clearing out their old servers. It has x4 P-III Xeons, 4 HD's (19GB each, RAID 0+1). I'm just looking for some thoughts or experience on the possibility of doing something similar to the following: I want to serve movies &...
