The XX concurent users only comes into play if the licensed application offers such a thing. In the case of something like Office 2013, you'd definitely need 300 license...

But for Something like... Raiser's Edge, or a Student Information System... You'd only need to license for the expected number of concurrent users.

IE: Raiser's Edge can be installed on every computer on my campus... But only 15 of us can log in at one time.

Gah, I'm having bad memories of OpenVMS with the different programs for every single little thing.

It does make for a nice looking and short command-line structure tho.

Oh yeah, SO much different than UNIX.

@scottalanmiller Thanks. I got it. I overthink everything. 🙂

Yeah, but this was explaining why cd does not work as expected.

@momurda said in Add Whitelist Entries in Office 365:

If you run this command again with different addresses/domains, doesnt it overwrite the previous items in the list, unwhitelisting your previous whitelist addresses?

Correct, this is setting the list. You'd have to append the new ones to the command.

This will be helpful when 2016 comes out and I need to migrate all the data off my data server.

Last time I used the Server Migration Wizard.

This information is very out of date concerning Pertino itself. But the theory on how this works remains relevant.

IMO, you should put the 'old post' notice at the top of these.

The Linux system gets the use 99% of the time and needs priority as to performance and what not. The Windows install is just for gaming and is not even my main gaming machine. Just a secondary one. And I've lived with zero Windows access for most of a year, not a big deal.

@echo off setlocal :REQUEST set /p REQUEST="Logoff, Shutdown, Reboot or Abort? L/S/R/A " if /i %request%==l goto logoff if /i %request%==s goto timer if /i %request%==r goto timer if /i %request%==a goto abort goto REQUEST :logoff shutdown -f -l goto exit :abort shutdown -a goto exit :timer set /p TIMER="Wait how many seconds? " if /i %request%==s shutdown -f -s -t %timer% if /i %request%==r shutdown -f -r -t %timer% :exit

@scottalanmiller said in Add Active Directory User to Group using PowerShell:

When we work strictly from Windows Server Core installations we need to be able to do everything from the command line, even user management. Let's add a user that already exists into a group that already exists in Active Directory using only PowerShell.

To do this we have the handy Add-ADGroupMember PowerShell commandlet. This is very easy to use in its basic form, all we need is the name of the group and of the user that we want to add. In this case, I want to add user jane to the group "Domain Admins".

Add-ADGroupMember "Domain Admins" jane

That's it, jane is added automatically. This process, like most, is silent on success. To verify that all is as we want it to be, we can use the Get-ADGroupMember command to look up the members of a group.

Get-ADGroupMember "Domain Admins"

Can also do
Add-ADGroupMember -identity "Domain Admins" -members "jane" -WhatIf
to see if it gets added before actually running the command.

Totally coincidence that I posted this same topic for PowerShell yesterday and today I started moving over my Windows Admin blog content and the first post over there was the same topic, but without PowerShell!

Good article. There is ZERO reason to have a GUI on a Domain Controller. Everything can be done through Server Manager on Windows 10/8

You mean RSAT 😉

Both? You can do a lot of directory management through Server Manager as well.

Ok, agree. Just don't like the Server Manager this much, ugly interface. I want to be sure WHICH drive on WHICH host I'm going to format for example. But that is just my personal opinion and I'm more or less a console fetishist 😉

But when it comes to ADSIedit or AD sites, you really want to have RSAT.

huh?

Those options are generally only there is RSAT is installed.

Sweet. Thanks for getting this for us @adam-ierymenko
