Tech Tool Must – GETTSCIP
Apr 17th
I love command line tools! Don’t ask why, maybe I enjoy being “old school.” Either way. We use Terminal Services and Citrix here. Sometimes users login from a computer and sometime from a Winterm or dumb terminal. I use Microsoft Terminal Services Manager to help users remotely and often it’s really nice to know the client’s ip address.
Well Thanks so much to the peeps over at Ctrl-Alt-Del It Consultancy for their great set of Terminal Services command line tools. The tool that is perfect for this job is called GETSCIP. Take this file and put in in the %system root%\Windows\System32\ folder on your Server and then from any client session open up the command prompt and type GETSCIP. There, in glorious CLI fassion, will be the current sessions client ip address!

Tech Tools Must – Autoruns by Sysinternals
Apr 14th
Not a lot of time to blog today but I did want to recommend a little utility called Autoruns by Sysinternals (which is now, sadly, part of Microsoft.)
Either way, this is a very cool little utility that tells you what will run on your system at start-up. IT has by far the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-start location on a p.c. that I have seen. I have removed some very pesky viruses & spyware thanks to this utility. Auto runs will allow you the power to either disable or delete any start-up entry.
Tip… If you have a very pesky virus that keeps coming back after each boot, start up in safe mode and then uses Auto-runs to remove the entry. I know it sounds simple..and it really is, who am I kidding.
