Apr 21, 2017 | HyperConverged | 0 |

#PowerShell – The Patch Solution – Part 5

Apr 15, 2017 | PatchSolution, Scripts, Windows Server | 0 |

Having an email in your inbox outlining which machines in your organization that are going to be patched in the next day or two is every service owner/managers dream. So simple and proactive. The email also outlines when the machines are going to be patched and displays how many outstanding updates there are. This is a summary of what will happen in the days to come. Keep reading to see how you can dive into seeing the details of what is about to happen in your organization.

#PowerShell – Setting SQL Server Memory Allocation (Maximum and Minimum)

Apr 13, 2017 | Scripts, Windows Server | 1 |

If you’ve ever run an installation of SQL Server, you’ll know it’s a database, and databases love, love, love memory. By design and by default, Microsoft SQL Server thinks it’s the only process on the system and is therefore given all the available memory and CPUs. As a best practice, I limit this. Here is the script I use to edit these values.

PowerShell – The Patch Solution – Part 4

Apr 12, 2017 | PatchSolution, SCCM, Scripts, Windows Server | 0 |

The previous posts on The Patch Solution have outlined the though process and goals to a patching strategy. Now it’s time to start taking that strategy and putting it into practice. Now that we have defined some of our goals (See

The Patch Solution – Part 3 post), we can start looking at how we reach those goals. In my opinion, one of the easiest goals to attain is reporting. This gives you an attainable goal which is completely measurable and trackable. Simply run a report, see where you’re at, update a few machines, run a report and see where you got to. The solutions that we try and come up with at TriCon Elite is all about being free and giving back to the community. We like to strive for secure and simple. For The Patch Solution, we opted to use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).

Apr 11, 2017 | SCCM, Scripts | 0 |

There have been quite a few times that I’ve needed to do some comparisons, or even move some objects from one SCCM environment to another. The System Center Configuration Manager console has quite a few options for exporting objects, or saving things to CSV, but then you still need to import it. Check out the rest of this blog post to see how easy it is to report, compare or recreate things between your SCCM environments with PowerShell.
