8th Oct , 2013 9:30pm : Entry added to create network profile folder if not already there (usually on fresh win7)
9th Oct , 2013 01:45pm : Entry added to create new phonbook profile, it will not overwrite or delete previous one
♥
Following is a simple and quickest method to create pppoe dialer using MSDOS batch file made for Windows 7, which create a new rasphone profile for PPPoE Dialer. Usually this sort of work is done using VB , or VB/VC# .NET with Dotras type programming languages which does the job nicely with lots of options and fancy look menus etc, but due to my limited knowledge towards programming, I decided to go with my traditional CLI method. I created this batch program in a very short time without much googling.

Phonebook Location to store profiles (new and old)
1
| %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\ |
Any suggestion to improve the method will be highly appreciable . . . Please psot your comment if this batch file is working ok for you . . .
Let’s Start.
Create a new batch file like
notepad c:\dialer.bat
Paste following data and save.

Howto remove your mail server IP from HOTMAIL black list
Filed under: Microsoft Related — Tags: HOTMAIL black list, microsoft snds — Syed Jahanzaib / Pinochio~:) @ 1:32 PM

Recently Hotmail started to reject emails coming from our domain , giving following error.
Error transferring to mx4.HOTMAIL.COM; SMTP Protocol Returned a Permanent Error 550 SC-001 (SNT0-MC2-F23) Unfortunately, messages from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx weren't sent.
Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block
I checked at mxtoolbox.com website
mail server blacklist checker and all over the internet in all possible
dns black lists but my IP address was not listed and it was clean. I
then signed in to Microsoft Smart Network Data Services at https://postmaster.live.com/snds/ and found out that my IP address was in Hotmail black list.I found out that Microsoft has an Eform for De-Listing / removing spam black listed mail server IPs not able to deliver to Hotmail and live.com.
Fill out the below form
https://support.msn.com/eform.aspx?productKey=edfsmsbl2&ct=eformts
It will ask you Contact name, Contact e-mail address, Enter your Email Server Public IP in Outbound IP(s) or range(s) and submit, You will receive an ticket number and it may take upto 2-4 days for your request to be entertained. Hopefully they will remove it from there black list. It also happens if you sent email to any user and he mark it as junk/unwanted then it auto adds in Hotmail monitoring system.
TIP- 1: Using Internet Explorer I receive an error has occurred while submitting the above form, After using Firefox I was able to successfully submit the form.
More info can be found here.
http://pc-freak.net/blog/howto-remove-delist-your-mail-server-ip-from-hotmail-live-com-and-msn-mail-server-blacklist/
TIP- 2: In such situation when your public ip added to black list, you can use your ISP smtp/smart host to relay mail. This way your ip wont be used and usually ISPs maintain there mail relay system upto date.

In our company, we are using TAPE drives to backup our data on various servers. It was running successfully since many years, but from past few weeks, it started to create strange issues and backup were failing with multiple errors in logs , for example
Logs Error # 1
Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1. Timeout before function completed Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:0x80042319. Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:80042319 Aborting Backup. ---------------------- The operation did not successfully complete. ----------------------
Logs Error # 2
Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1. Timeout before function completed Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:0xffffffff. Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:ffffffff Aborting Backup. ---------------------- The operation did not successfully complete. ----------------------This error occurs when the creation of the Volume Shadow Copy times out.
This is more common during periods of high disk activity, or on disks that are heavily fragmented.
To solve it, Try following solutions
1- Make sure you have Latest Service pack for windows 2003 Server, If don’t Update it first,
Now Download HOTFIX from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833167/en-us
OR http://hotfixv4.microsoft.com/Windows%20Server%202003/sp1/Fix67560/3790/free/158865_ENU_i386_zip.exe
After applying, restart your server and try NTBACKUP again. If the problem persists, then continue below
2- Set following services startup type to AUTOMATIC , and start them
- Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider
- Virtual Shadow Copy
- Volume Shadow Copy (VSS)
- Remote Procedure Call (RPCSS) – should be enabled as “Automatic”
– COM+ Event System (eventsystem)
– System Event Notification Service (sens) – should be enabled as “Automatic”
Adjust above services accordingly and now try NTBACKUP again.
3- Re-Register few dll’s ,Open command prompt and copy paste following lines.
Net stop vss
Net stop swprv
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
vssvc /Register
regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 stdprov.dll
regsvr32 es.dll
regsvr32 vssui.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml2.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
Now Restart your server and try NT.Backup again. Hopefully it will work fine , at least in my case, it DID
Mounting the media . . .
If you run NTBackup from Windows, and it says “Waiting for a previous media operation to finish” but actually there is none. OR if you see MOUNTING THE MEDIA and it keep stucked on this message. Then Try following . . .Go to Computer Management -> Removable Storage and check under the Work Queue for any errors. Deleting any jobs that are failing should resolve your problem. However, you may be experiencing hardware issues with the drive or the media, which would be worth checking out.
In some cases restarting the Removable Storage service has worked OR
In some cases, rebuilding the Removable Storage Database has worked for me.
To rebuild RSM Database, Follow below steps
1) Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services and find the Removable Storage service.2) Right click on the Removable Storage service, select Properties, change the ‘Startup type:’ to Disabled and click ok.
3) Restart the machine
4) When the machine is running again open Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\Windows\system32\ntmsdata\ directory (or some other variation depending on the operating system, just pick the directory where Windows is installed and go from there)
5) In that directory rename all the files to *.OLD or move them to another temp folder.
6) Go back to the Removable Storage service (see step 1) go to properties and change the ‘Startup type:’ back to Automatic.
7) Restart the machine again
The device reported an error on a request to write data to media.
IF you receive the following error in NTBACKUP logsError: The device reported an error on a request to write data to media.
Error reported: Bad data.
There may be a hardware or media problem.

Windows 2008 Group Policy ! Fun Things to DO
Filed under: Microsoft Related — Tags: Disabling Action Center's Firewall Notification through GPO, Howto disable Windows Firewall using Group Policy in Windows 2008 — Syed Jahanzaib / Pinochio~:) @ 4:25 PM

Howto disable Windows Firewall using Group Policy in Windows 2008
I personally don’t think it’s the best way to disable windows firewall specially in a large network environment, but recently I was in a situation where I needed it to avoice some arguments with few co workers. Here is how you can do it on a Windows 2008 server.Open Group Policy Management,
Select the policy to edit (Usually: the default policy), right-click and choose Edit.
Go to Administrative Templates > Network > Network connections > Windows Firewall > Domain Profile.
Disable the “Protect All Network connections” rule. Do the same for the “Standard Profile”, as well.
Now, all that’s left to do is update the clients. Default Update time for group policy is 6 hours, but you can push it forcefully by using following command:
gpupdate / force
then simply log off and log on the client again.
Disabling Action Center’s Firewall Notification through GPO
As far as I know, there is not a policy that will disable only the Firewall Notification. The closest options we could configure are two policies that are related but neither is really a complete solution and will block other types of notifications as well:1) Disable all balloon notifications:
User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Start Menu and Taskbar \ Turn off all balloon notifications
2) Disable Action Center itself:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar \ Remove the Action Center icon
(Thanks for the TIP from http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/thread/e78a30cb-6cf2-4de6-afda-e0c90a3d2e34/ )
Disabling Your Security setting level puts your computer at risk notification
If your users are complaining of the appearance of the message box in Internet Explorer 7/8 telling that“Your Security setting level puts your computer at risk.”
To fix it, There are two ways to resolve this:
1. Set “Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting” to Disable (recommended) under Security Settings – Internet Zone or Restricted Sites Zone
2. Enable the following GPO via Domain Group Policy at your Domain controller.
Goto Local Computer Policy
User Configuration
Administrative Templates
Windows Components
Internet Explorer
ENABLE this setting > Turn off the Security Settings

Start windows service under different user credentials
Filed under: Microsoft Related — Tags: net start, sc.exe, start windows service with another user credential — Syed Jahanzaib / Pinochio~:) @ 3:02 PM
5 Votes
To start windows service under another user credentials , Use following
In Windows 2003:
IF the user belongs to local system
sc.exe config SERVICENAME obj= .\USERNAME password= 123456
net start “SERVICENAME”
OR
IF the user belongs to Domain
sc.exe config SERVICENAME obj= DOMAIN_NAME\syed.jahanzaib password= 123456
net start “SERVICENAME”
TIP: Make sure you add SPACE after each equal sign in command .It was required for me to start SAP services, after configuring user account with password in services console, they remove password after every restart of system, therefore I made this batch file to execute on startup so they start automatically upon reboot.
For example: obj= SERVICENAME

Salam to All,
Following are few backup batch files that I have used at my office to perform backup operation using scheduled backup tasks. I am posting them just for reference so they can be used as archiving or possibly useful for others too having same task.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Few days back, a new oracle server was added in our IT dept. It is an oracle database server which serves many users request in our company. There was an annoying manual backup task that we have to perform on it on daily basis , the :@ task was to run 2 shortcut which creates backup dump files in E: drive, and then we have to manually rename the 2 dump files according to current date and then move them in other date-wise folder.
Quite annoying , isn’t it ? I mean still do we have to perform simple tasks like taking backup manually where every task is being done Automatically ?
Stupid enough !
It was quite easy to do this task automatically in LINUX environment, but as currently i am working in MS (Microshit or Microsoft environment) I manage to done it with built-in DOS commands. Following is the complete dos batch file or call it the Backup script , I just added in Schedule task, Now it runs daily and saves my time.

NTBACKUP with EMAIL the LOGS and START/END Time Report
This Script will first backup the data defined in “backup-data” to Tape Drive (In my case it was IBM LTO-3) and then email the LOG to your defined email addresses (in “mail-to” section) It will also record the total time of the backup and will attache it to the email.

Daily Backup of Required Folder using ROBOCOPY
Robocopy method which will copy only new file by matching source and destination folder/file timstamps. Its much better as it displays results in command prompt with percentage and all the necessary info any admin want. its my favorite. You can downlod Robocopy by downloading Microsoft Resource Kit from following link.http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17657

/E = Copy sub-directories, including Empty ones
/LOG + = Output status to LOG file (append to existing log, so previous entries along with new one should be saved together, if you don’t use + , it will overwrite existing log-file, means delete old entries and overwrite new one)).
XCOPY Method
Following file will copy all the data from the source folder to target folder using windows builtin copy tool XCOPY.

/S = Copies directories and sub-directories except empty ones.
/D = If no date is given, copies only those files whose source time is newer than the destination time.
/C = Continues copying even if errors occur.
/Y = Overwrite existing files if any without prompting, its necessary when you are running xcopy via batch / script file.
