Our second book is out in the bookstores!
Win32 Perl Scripting: Administrator's Handbook
In this excellent book author Dave Roth shows how to tame some of the
more tedious problems of Win32 administration.
His weapon of choice: Perl, of course. Based on the author's experience,
the book details philosophies and strategies relating to how administrators
can increase productivity without having to manually perform tasks or
purchase costly software. The result: remarkable savings in administration
time and cost. Administrators will appreciate the ready-to-run scripts that
automate mundane and repetitive tasks, achieving their goals exponentially
faster than previously possible. Managers will marvel over the cost savings
in both software and administrative manpower.
This book complements our first one,
Win32 Perl Programming:
The Standard Extensions. Where the Standard Extensions book
details how to use different Win32 Perl extensions, the
Administrator's Handbook addresses different administrative
tasks providing a wide spectrum of scripts. The distinctive strength
of the Administrator's Handbook lies in demonstrating how to use Perl
creatively to resolve most any administrative task. The strategies
discussed will help administrators advance the capabilities and customize
the book's scripts according to their specific needs. This volume covers
topics that will:
Manage user privileges
Disable and enable user accounts in bulk
Manage processes on remote machines
Walk through an IIS web site
Create Win32 services using Perl
Make effective use of user logon scripts
...just to name a few things.
The book is available in bookstores. You can also
order it now through Amazon.com.
We have more information on
Win32 Perl Scripting: Administrator's Handbook.
Our Win32 Perl Programming: The Standard Extensions book is also
available through Amazon.com.

The ~Home ISAPI Filter
UNIX administrators can now rejoice!
Any UNIX administrator can
tell you that users can access their home directories by using
the tilde (~) character. This functionality does not exist on NT,
until now.
The ~Home ISAPI Filter allows user directories to be accessed by prefixing
a user account with a ~ (or any other) token. The filter is
totally configurable and can map a user's home directory, profile
directory, or some other directory. With caching and cross domain
support this ISAPI filter is a perfect compliment to NT's IIS web
server.
If you are transitioning from UNIX to NT you owe it to yourself
to check this out:
More info is on the ~Home ISAPI Filter page.

Perl Script Repository
Our Perl Script Repository is a place to go when you are in need of a Perl script.
You may not find the perfect script that fits your needs however it may be the just
place to peruse scripts that can get you started.
The repository is a place for Perl coders to submit scripts that have served them well
so that others can benefit from them. It also provides a place for good programmers to
be discovered. Each script is linked to its author's brief biography. This
is useful when looking for a programmer to contract with.

Our Presentations

LISA-NT Conference
1999
|
In July, 1999, Dave Roth presented a white paper at the
LISA-NT Conference in Seattle, Washington. The paper outlines
a strategy for implementing a network management system using
off-the-shelf products such as Perl. This low cost infrastructure
is the equivalent to a poor-man's SMS at only a fraction of the
cost of implementing Microsoft's Systems Management Server or
other commercial SMS products.
The white paper A Networked Machine Management System
is available online as is the
PowerPoint presentation.
