There have time that we want to test file transfer speeds across our network.  The problem is we need to use a known file size to make sure we can use the same size data in each test.

On Linux and Mac systems you can use the following commands:

300MB file (random data):  dd if=/dev/urandom of=300mb.log bs=1024 count=307200
300MB file (zero data):  dd if=/dev/zero of=300mb.log bs=1024 count=307200

We have several room resources in our Exchange 2013 environment.  Occasionally, we need to make changes so new people can actually see what appointments are scheduled and not just see “busy” in the time slot.  I used to be able to make these changes via Exchange Management Console in previous versions of Exchange; however, it looks like I have to go to Exchange Management Shell now.

Exchange LogoToday we had someone make a request for a few users to be able to see what appointments were scheduled for some room resources.  They didn’t want these people to add any appointments, but just needed to be able to see what was scheduled rather than seeing “Busy”.  I came across this site which has the PowerShell commands to set the Reviewer permission.  The article talks about changing the Default user permission which is not what I wanted to do.  So I used add–mailboxfolderpermission cmdlet instead of the set-mailboxfolderpermission cmdlet.

PowerShell logoAt work we are getting ready to create new user accounts for everyone and move their mailbox from the current AD account to the new account. The reason for this is a bit lengthy, but a big reason is people have been granted permissions based on their AD account rather than by group membership. So by switching AD accounts we can clean things up a bit. Currently the format of our usernames is first initial last name (example: John Doe is JDoe), and we will be changing to a first name dot last name format (example: John.Doe).
