20. How will Windows 2008 help How can Windows 2008 help achieve all this: ServerManagerCMD PowerShell WinRM WinRS
21. ServerManagerCMD Command line version of Server Manager -query is very pretty Has Install and Remove actions Each supports answer files No remote computer support WinRS can help
22. PowerShell List the Services installed Get-wmiobject win32_service –computername <server_name> Start a Service (get-wmiobject -computer <server_name> Win32_Service -filter "name='<service_name>'").StartService() Stop a Service (get-wmiobject -computer <server_name> Win32_Service -filter "name='<service_name>'").StopService()
23. WinRM Management “despite” firewalls Windows Remote Management Implementation of WS-Management protocol Based on HTTP/HTTPS connectivity Security Kerberos and SSL Extend to web with NTLM/Basic
24. Working with WinRM Domain members can just connect For workgroup scenarios the client must trust the target system. On the client run: winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="servername1,"servername2"} View the settings using Winrm get winrm/config/client
25. WinRS Remote Shell over WinRM Commands are sent over network and executed locally Command line tool does not need to be server or network aware WinRS <Server> <Command> WinRS + ServerManagerCMD is your friend Allows you to create scripts that execute remote commands Examples: WinRS -r:myserver netdom join myserver /domain:testdomain /userd:administrator /passwordd:<password> WinRS -r:myserver cscript c:yscipt.vbs
37. Service-oriented monitoring Suits logical Citrix deployment structure, grouping & relationships Farms, Zones, Citrix servers, etc Citrix Presentation Server as a distributed service State-based monitoring Monitors respond to deviations from the “Healthy” state Rules collect stateless data
