  • Error: Request for the permission of type System.Web.AspNetHostingPermission failed

    Every so often I have to go into some historical code to try and see what is happening. And every time I make the same mistake, I try to debug the code off my mapped user drive (I do everything in my user drive which is on a network share. And every time, I get…

  • Cisco ASA and smart tunnels – my experience on OS X 10.7

    I have been playing with smart tunnels on my Cisco ASA. The documentation is a little scarce on examples, so I thought I would post what I have found. On OS X, not much appears to work (I only tried with Safari). Maybe this post will help someone, or they will post a comment on…

  • Send WordPress post to Google Plus (Not show Google+ on my WordPress site)

    I was surprised that I could not find a plugin that would add a new WordPress post to Google+. I saw plugins that showed my Google+ profile card or added a +1 button to my site, but nothing to send a new post automatically to Google+. I can do this with the Twitter Tools plugin…

  • On demand iPhone vpn connection to a Cisco ASA

    This was a proof of concept that I worked on with @xrobx99. Thanks @xrobx99 for your help. We were interested in how our users could access SharePoint behind our firewall on their mobile devices. We currently have an Cisco ASA in front of our organization. Idea is this: user receives an email notification from SharePoint that…

  • Cisco ASA memory issues – disable webvpn cache may fix?

    The credit for this article goes to @xrobx99. I wanted to blog about his discovery so that others might find the solution quicker. We have an Cisco ASA that we had to reboot every month because the memory would keep growing. We thought it was a memory leak (and it may have been in previous…

  • Cisco ASA: tunnel-group commands and Connection Profiles

    I have to say, it is difficult to learn Cisco products.  I have been hacking away at my new Cisco ASA 5505, and it is not easy. One of the toughest things is that the ASDM displays the configuration one way, but when you look at the config, it is completely different. For example, ASDM…

  • PowerShell wrapper script to send email

    I wanted a standard function that I can call from other scripts to send email. I needed multiple recipients, and default sender and smtp arguments. Here is the script that I came up with.

  • PowerShell script to add users to a group

    In this previous post : PowerShell wrapper for creating a new distribution group, I created a script for creating a new distribution group. I wanted to take that a step further and prompt the SysAdmin to add users. I created a new recursive function called AddToDistributionGroup. In this code, I prompt for a group name, and…

  • VMware Fusion 4 – Did they move vmrun?

    Did they move vmrun in VMware Fusion 4? In version 4, I find it here: “/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/” But this documentation says that the command should be in “/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion”, but I found it here”/Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun” I don’t see anything in the release notes. Anyone?  

  • PowerShell wrapper for creating a new distribution group

    Unknown to me, in Exchange 2010 when you create a new distribution group in EMC, by default, the group will not receive email from external recipients – the setting “Require that senders are authenticated” is checked. We use distribution groups to communicate with clients, so unauthenticated senders need to email these groups.  This setting is…
