Greetings,

We are having an issue with events not getting done correctly. The issue is a breakdown in communication, for instance, a food and beverage event that IT is not informed of and doesn't setup a point of sale unit. Or a Marketing event that Maintenance is not aware of and doesn't setup something for, tables/whatever.

There have been meetings, and the directive is to find event and catering software (apparently we won't be using the one that was purchased a couple years ago...)

Since we have Oracle Opera, they want to look into the Sales and Catering piece, but I think this is a horrible idea. Opera sucks, it's ugly, and it's not using AD.

They do not need to store menu's or in

Hello,

We use Issuetrak software for helpdesk currently. When someone leaves a voicemail, it creates a ticket and notifies the technician, but it does not attach the voicemail .wav file. I created a script to do this, and it works great if there is only one result in the last 5 minutes. If there is more than one, it either errors out, or only sends one, or sends the same one twice, can't remember, but it is obviously because of how I handle the rows.

Please help?

Thanks you :)

Have a case open but havn't heard back yet. Have read through documentation but can't seem to find this.

Example: We want a New User Ticket when submitted to automatically create tasks. Create AD Account, Create 3rd party Account A, Create 3rd party Account B etc, send new user email, etc etc. Would be fantastic if we could base this on a form or check list the user fills out but totally a separate request.

Thanks :)

Script Sharing

So, I am working on creating a Good Morning script to help wake myself up since im a heavy sleeper and I want to. This is the first part ive worked on, it will go get the weather, parse the xml, and read it to me.

If interested, or you want to mess around with the XML, you can find your US cities XML here

Maybe I am looking at this the wrong way, not having much luck finding an answer.

Currently HR inputs new users/terminations into their excel document, and manually email out the changes. I can then create a new user if I see it, or wait for the helpdesk ticket to come in. I am hoping we can start automating this by creating a sql database, with some sort of input form for them to use. Have a SQL job scheduled to run daily at 6PM, email out changes to the Personnel Action Notification distribution group and if there are hires with the title "security guard" I'd want it to launch my newsecurityguard.ps1 passing the first name, last name, and badge number fields to $firstname, $lastname and $

I can move if requested as I know this isn't tech support, but its a really odd one and wondering if anyone has ran into it.

Outlook 2010 Microsoft office 2010 Windows 7.

User's outlook inbox does not show emails, but they are there, you can see she has 30,000 emails in Inbox, whatever number new. If you do a search, you can see them all. Thought it must be a view setting so reset to default, nope.

Phone still works, uses a 3rd party MDM (mobile iron)

If using a machine she used previously, it works fine. If she had not used the computer before and loads her profile, she cannot see items in her inbox...

Have tried different/new computers, blew out user profile, blew out .ost.

So, this is part of my new user script, it creates the folder, everything is correct except the user is not listed in security and has no access, any ideas?

##Creates User folder on (server) and gives them full control leaving inheritance intact##

if ( !(Test-Path -Path "$homedir$homedirectoryname" -PathType Container) ) {
     ## Doesn't exist so create it.
     Write-Host "home directory doesn't exist. Creating home directory."

     ## Create the directory
     New-Item -path $homedir -Name $homedirectoryname -ItemType Directory
     $userDir = "$homedir$homedirectoryname"

        ## Modify  Permissions on homedir
     $Rights= [System.Security.Acce

Yesterday was the second time we have had an infection and had to restore files from backups in the Finance department. It came in through an email, which looked pretty similar to the example I provided in my warning emails I have sent out 3 times in the last year. There was no reason why this person should have not seen it as suspicious. (It was from a philippine address, we don't do business anywhere near there.) When questioned, the user kind of laughed and said that she just opens whatever she doesn't check to see what it is...

300ish files infected on network drives, as well as local files on her computer. The CFO, her boss, doesn't see it as a big issue, we had backups. (some data may

I would like to set a custom voice command for dictating and sending an email.

So I can say, OK Google " Send an email" and thats all fine, but I want to be able to say OK Google "Submit Helpdesk Ticket" and have it ask for the text "Hello this is Bob in building 7, I can't access Facebook.com for some reason." Take the text, send an email to [email protected]

Any ideas?
