When you config the Xendesktop, VMware view or other related to active Directory,you may need to know Base DN and Bind DN. Open the command prompt  on winodws2003 AD server and type”dsquery user” C:\>dsquery user “CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=wad,DC=com” “CN=Guest,CN=Users,DC=wad,DC=com” “CN=SUPPORT_388945a0,CN=Users,DC=wad,DC=com” “CN=krbtgt,CN=Users,DC=wad,DC=com” “CN=root,CN=Users,DC=wad,DC=com” “CN=IUSR_WICHEU-TOL55S55,CN=Users,DC=wad,DC=com” “CN=IWAM_WICHEU-TOL55S55,CN=Users,DC=wad,DC=com” “CN=vdi1,CN=Users,DC=wad,DC=com” Find special user, you can type”dsquery user -name xxx*” C:\>dsquery user -name vd* “CN=vdi1,CN=Users,DC=wad,DC=com” Also this command are query group too!

When your server is located in a data center far away, it makes it difficult to walk over to the box and read the service tag off of it. Fortunately, the Service Tag is stored somewhere in the system BIOS, and is accessible with the ‘dmidecode’ utility. [root@host ~]# dmidecode|grep "Serial Number" Serial Number: 80NZV71   You’ll probably see several other serial numbers in there as well for things like your hard drives or other devices. The Dell shouldn’t be too difficult to pick out. I think they are always 7 digits and have letters in middle. There is lots of other interesting things in the ‘dmidecode’ output too, like the speed and type of each RAM module installed, and a description of all of the onboard devices (ie: video and network cards) With Windows Thanks to @kleinbaas who commented below how to do the same thing on a Windows machine: C:\Documents and Settings\brandon>wmic bios get serialnumber SerialNumber GX245D1

How many times have you been into a situation where you needed the serial number of a remote server and there is nobody on the remote location to be able to give you that? Windows have a built in function to let you retrieve the serial number of a PC or server via WMIC (Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line, which uses the power of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to enable systems management and info retrieval from the command line. Here are some examples of the command use: To get a list of all the physic al drives of a server including sizes and model numbers run the following command: wmic diskdrive get model,name,size Result looks like this: Model Name Size ADAPTEC RAID 1 SCSI Disk Device \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 799957831680 GB0250C8 045 SCSI Disk Device \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0 250056737280 To retrieve the serial number of the computer run the following command: wmic bios get serialnumber   Result looks like this: SerialNumber CZ10101010 To r...

The blue screen of death — or BSOD — is always an unwelcome sight. BSODs appear when Microsoft Windows encounters a critical error it can’t recover from, requiring a reboot and possibly resulting in lost work. A blue screen of death is the worst type of error a computer can experience, unlike an application crash, which doesn’t bring down the whole system. A BSOD is the result of low-level software crashing — or faulty hardware. What Causes Blue Screens of Death Blue screens are generally caused by problems with your computer’s hardware or issues with its hardware driver software. Standard software shouldn’t be able to cause blue screens — if an application crashes, it will do so without taking the operating system out with it. Blue screens are caused by hardware problems and issues with low-level software running in the Windows kernel. A blue screen occurs when Windows encounters a “STOP Error.” This critical failure causes Windows to crash and stop working. The on...
