To overcome this issue, you need a graphical interface like the one provided by Dell/Quest PowerGUI. Intuitive graphical interface for PowerShell and script editor Since it's only available through the command-line shell, some users may find it difficult. However, several Windows components are reserved for users who are curious and ambitious to get the job done themselves, such as PowerShell. I'll try and put something together and I'll post it here when its ready.Administering systems and managing network components locally and remotely are specialized tasks better left in the hands of professionals who certainly have the appropriate tools for doing a good job. Would you guys like to see something like that?ĮDIT: I really appreciate the responses here. But I only want to put the effort in if theres at least some chance it would be read by others. Also logs everything for proof.Īnyway, im considering putting together something to walk through someone with an infrastructure background how to create a tool to improve their own processes and workflows.
About a minute per server with almost no effort instead of 30 min of moderate effort.
I did this mostly for the fact that I can do large groups incredibly fast. Also logs.Ī tool that imports a list from a csv and adds then configures a secondary management NIC on it.
Vastly improves the amount of time doing space adds from ~10 minutes per server to about 30 seconds per server. You can then select a drive and expand it by a typed in amount of GBs. Makes it so I dont have to RDP into a server to see if it can see another server.Ī tool that will connect to a virtual server in vmware and display the available drives and their free space / total space. Some of my coworkers have taken to using them as well.Ī network connectivity tester that can check for listening ports, dns resolutions, traceroutes and pathpings between your current device and a target or another server and a target. I work as an infrastructure systems engineer at a large company and I found myself in a position to streamline my workflow by creating a few simple tools. I know this is a weird ask, but im thinking about putting together a guide on how to make powershell GUI tools for yourself and your team.
