Comment on scripting a reboot of all computers in an OU by joshua.smith

kp,

i don’t think so.

objRS is your record set (lets say 100 computers in an OU). objRS.MoveFirst moves you to the first record/computer, then the “While Not objRS.EOF” says loop until you are out of records. if i am not mistaken the way that while loop is written is why you wouldn’t need the objRS.MoveNext call. after the while loop, then it hits that Wend.

from my testing a long time ago i never saw a problem with an infinite loop, and i had this in production for years (and i heard about any random reboots, i promise ;).

correct me if i am wrong, i can always learn something.

jeff,

i actually left that position a few months after the install, so i can’t honestly say what has changed since then.

that being said, i talked to the guys that are now administering that system last week, and they said it is great. no issues, “it just works” was their comment to me.

i hope they have tackled some of those issues since then, but you would have to talk to digium to find out for sure.

good luck!

Don’t you need to add a objRS.movenext right before the WEND? It looks like it runs in an infinite loop without this.

Any updates to your “the bad” list? I see in 2010 Tristan said they were on “the list”, have they been fixed yet?

thanks for the heads up darren.

that is a little surprising, especially since digium just rides on a linux kernel (more or less) i believe.

Be careful when buying a digium swithvox. They are not designed to run for extended periods of time. Here is a response from tech support telling me that I have to reboot my appliance to keep it running normally.

“Hi Darren,

Looking over the various parts of the system, we do not show anything specific that may be directly causing the jump in memory usage. We do show that the system has been up for 134 days though. Whenever a system has been up for a good length of time, and odd occurrences start happening, we always recommend to first start by doing a full reboot of the system to see if that resolves the issue. If after a reboot the issue persists, please let us know.

Best regards,
Switchvox Support”

That link to the wallpapers is no good. Can we still access them somewhere?
Thanks for the post :)

Comment on setting up armitage on ubuntu with a postgres db by joshua.smith

mendi1981,

this article is no longer applicable. you should install metasploit 4.x as armitage is now bundled with metasploit by default.
