Why is it that people think they can say, “Yeah I am getting Event ID 1000, do you know why that is?” For the record, Event IDs are not UNIQUE. You need to know the Event Log, the Event Source, AND the Event ID. Maybe it is the only Event ID 1000 that person who […]

…can’t you turn on auditing of the manipulation of share permissions directly either through GUI or code? By this, I mean the permissions on the share, not permissions on the files and folders in the share. This may seem odd, but maybe, just maybe you want to know WHO is changing permissions on the share. […]

I love perl, absolutely adore it. I love how I can take one small exe and one small DLL and take it anywhere and get just buttloads of functionality out of the core language. Well I needed a script to tear through and document ACLs on a file system. Now I didn’t expect the core […]
