DanielleH, I do not see my points for adding all social networks during the last week of June. (I also checked my completed Missions--within my Profile, but no dice.) Thank you, Don

I agree that Alerts are useful in two critical instances: * Proactive measures to mitigate a problem; and * Reactive steps--taken to correct the problem (after the fact). Although we cannot dream-up every possible proactive Alert that is necessary, nor are we able to respond quick enough to every proactive Alert--before a…

Yes, please! No two applications are the same; ergo, a global setting is limiting SAM's capabilities.

Like byrona, I (began) and spend most of my time in the Windows world; therefore, I enjoy using PowerShell, VBScript, as well as C#, F# (very little), VB.NET, and VBA (yes, I admit to VBA). This said, I remind myself--every few months or so--to look for other 'off the shelf' tools, and this is one of those times. Thank you…

Zack, although I am able to do this on each node--through the CLI, the time it takes is too much, and PowerShell is great, but I must create the loop, which isn't much better. Your suggestion makes my life easier when we must migrate systems or when I want to ensure security audits pass (ahead of time!).

Hi Danielle, Please remove the space. Thank you, Don On Tuesday, July 15, 2014, SolarWinds Community Team <

Our state maintains minimum requirements, not only for State Agency requirements, but state security, too--in accordance with Department of Homeland Security. These numbers are often publicly known, but the intent is to keep these numbers private and 'need to know' for state and national security reasons.

Thank you for this gem. I already know how to put this to work--replacing thousands of lines of Perl, which were written many years ago--in fact, I would like to use this with PowerShell to replace a lot more code than originally thought.

We use Alerts in many different scenarios, but speaking of circuits, we use Alerts on older equipment--in order to help us watch the change in state, because it helps us determine whether or not a chassis, interface, etc. is aging to the point that a replacement is necessary. It is important for me to note that we look at…

Hi Paul, I hoped to receive additional feedback, and perhaps we will as we go forward, but for now, I'll begin putting something together. Which products/modules are you looking at incorporating into your environment? -Don Price

I am not familiar with the link I provided, but I posted the link, in an effort to perhaps point you in the appropriate direction. Based on what I see in the PS (from the link), it assumes that the User executing the PS is already an Administrator. The reason for the Administrator User is that there is no way around…

paulwaits, Okay, let me see if we cannot find one or two additional people to provide their needs and feedback. I simply want to ensure I am helping people and helping them in their discipline; fortunately for me, I spent many years practicing in at least half a dozen project planning programs. In the mean time, what is…

According to the WarmUp app page, the WarmUp tool was superseded by the following tool: Application Initialization Module for IIS 7.5 : The Official Microsoft IIS Site

Done! I voted for this Feature; thank you for taking the time to create the request.

Hi Bill, I think you are spot-on--in that the delay was caused by the Orion Database Maintenance Cycle--particularly when I look at the Windows log files and our Orion configuration files/schedule. -Don

To tack onto aLTeReGo's comment, also note that some Templates require alternative credentials than those credentials used with WMI, SNMP, etc., which is supplied when adding a Node. I fall into this rut sometimes--when adding new Templates.

Classic response!

Consider the following snippet (URL: A self elevating PowerShell script - Ben Armstrong - Site Home - MSDN Blogs): # Get the ID and security principal of the current user account $myWindowsID=[System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent() $myWindowsPrincipal=new-object…

paulwaits, Great! Do you prefer ITIL, Method1 (American Express-->produced in collaboration with Accenture Consulting), PMI, or another discipline altogether? Don Price

Do family and friends count towards this request?

Thank you, aLTeReGo, for catching the salient point I missed.

Hi ashley.cotter, Thank for your comment, SQL, as well as your implementation. You provided me with some concepts that are likely to please our subject matter experts, on their respective teams.

Thank for sharing your hard work with the rest of us!

I experienced this problem after updating SAM--from 6.1 to 6.1.1--and after 2.5 days, I was able to isolate, reproduce, fix, reproduce, fix, etc. These are a few of my lessons-learned, if you will. (NOTE: This is running in a virtualized environment and the operating system is Win2012 R2.): * Ensure that UAC is disabled.…

If you create a Feature Request for this, please let me know and I will vote for the request. Thanks!

I think this is a great idea; for example, one use-case may represent my ability to say thank you to someone who spent a significant amount of time helping me through a problem, and aside from a sincere thank you, this is another method to show my appreciation of their time--often personal time.

I concur with user evanr--with the kudos--for your newborn. Very exciting times! As to the root of your post/question, I believe the granular permissions scenario is best in this use-case. HOWEVER, the permissions should be attached to Active Directory Domain Services (AD for short), vis-a-vis, AD Groups. From this point,…

Search in NPM for the following Reports: * Triggered alerts - Last 30 days * Triggered alerts - Last 30 days web-based * Triggered and reset alerts - Last 30 days If you would like to use those as a template, make a copy and alter the SQL statements or do so through the wizard/editor.

Is it because the PS is not running as an elevated permission--when running inside the SAM Module?

I am considering putting this type of document together, but for me it is partly in the past. This said, however, if this document would prove useful for others, I am thrilled to contribute this document and the supporting materials to the community. Who would truly benefit from these materials, etc.?
