    Upgraded my MCSE 2003 to MCTS: Windows Server 2008

    Pues sí. Hoy, a las 9:10 iniciaba el examen de actualización de la certificación MCSE 2003 a MCTS: Windows Server 2008.

    A las 9:40 salía del examen.

    Resultados:

    • TS: 70-640: 1000 / 1000
    • TS: 70-642: 850 / 1000
    • TS: 70-643: 940 / 1000

    Resultado global, APROBADO!!!

    Bien, ahora he de ver si hacer el 70-620 (Vista) + 70-647 y obtener el MCTIP: Enterprise Administrator, o sólo el 70-646 y conseguir el MCTIP: System Administrator

    Lo decidiré otro día.

    ¿Un MVP nace o se hace?

    Ha costado

    Pero por fin tengo los dos perfiles del MCP fusionados en uno. Entre que los del centro de certificación no parecen muy hábiles Sad y que los de soporte de las certificaciones de Microsoft habían estado jugando con sus direcciones de correo electrónico, la cosa se ha demorado en demasía.

    Gracias otra vez a Cristina G. [Microsoft Ibérica] que me ha gestionado el tema desde dentro ya tengo la cosa resuelta.

    Por tanto, presentemos el nuevo "logo" y a seguir sumando Hot:

    Vuelta a los Scripts

    Hacía tiempo que no me pegaba a hacer scripts... hasta hoy.

    El de hoy saca un listado de los usuarios del Directorio Activo a quienes NO les caduca el password.

    Es un script realmente sencillo, así que no creo que deba explicarlo, no Tongue?

    Código:

    ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    '
    ' Script para averiguar a qué usuarios NO les caduca el password en AD
    '
    ' Creado:    Febrero 2008
    ' Versión:    1.0   
    ' Autor:    Marc - MCSE 2003 / MVP Windows Server - Directory Services
    '
    '
    ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

    Const ForAppending = 8
    '****************** Comprobación de argumentos *******************
    If WScript.Arguments.count > 0 Then
         FicheroSalida = WScript.Arguments.item(0)
    Else
         FicheroSalida = InputBox("Nombre del fichero .txt a crear", "Gestion de password de usuarios")
    End If

    '****************** Creación fichero salida *****************************

    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile (FicheroSalida, ForAppending,True)

    '******************* Main *********************************************

    Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    objConnection.Open "Provider=ADsDSOObject;"

    Set objCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
    objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection

    Set objDSE = GetObject("LDAP://rootDSE")
    objCommand.CommandText = "<LDAP://" & objDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext") & ">;" & _
    "(&(&(ObjectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=65536)));"& _ 
    "distinguishedname;subtree"

    Set objRecordSet = objCommand.Execute

    While Not objRecordset.EOF
        objTextFile.WriteLine(objRecordset.Fields("distinguishedName"))
        objRecordset.MoveNext
    Wend

    objConnection.Close

     

    Por cierto, todo esto se puede hacer desde "Saved queries" en la consola Active Directory Users & Computers Happy

    Cool: Microsoft Active Directory Topology Diagrammer

    Enga, a practicar Inglés smile_shades... 

    With the Active Directory Topology Diagrammer tool, you can read your Active Directory structure through Microsoft ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO). The Active Directory Topology Diagrammer tool automates Microft Office Visio to draw a diagram of the Active Directory Domain topology, your Active Directory Site topology, your OU structure or your current Exchange 200X Server Organization. With the Active Directory Topology Diagrammer tool, you can also draw partial Information from your Active Directory, like only one Domain or one site. The objects are linked together, and arranged in a reasonable layout that you can later interactively work withthe objects in Microsoft Office Visio.
