You can put nslookup into debug mode!

PXE booting, MDT and 802.1x

Oh dear. We implemented site wide 802.1x when we moved. This has caused numerous issues which we are still tracking down and killing with fire. Again "only-when-we-needed-it" struck as we had a new starter and need to build a machine. Ah.   No PXE.  However thankfully we were able to make a bootable USB using 802.1x and get our build working again from MDT in our 802.1 environment. Here's how we did it.   Caveats:  I'm assuming you know MDT and how PXE works. We use Computer certificates as the 8021x auth method. 802.1x is working in our environment GPO is used to start the wired 802.1x service on built machines. GPO is used to configure the network profile to use 802.1x What you need Get a USB stick to take your WinPE 4GB may be enough Make sure you are running an up to date working MDT installation! Create a machine certificate which has a long expiry date, you don't want to be making USB WinPE images every month!! Export the machine

It is possible to connect to your wireless - albeit in a slightly awkward way.....here's how During the OOBE hit SHIFT+F10 to get a command window and type either; start ms-settings: To get the settings window or start ms-availablenetworks: To see the network fly outs.

Powershell VPN connections - PEAP with MSCHAPv2

Messing around with VPNs last week I found that it is easier (sometimes) to have a one liner for VPN creation! Here's how I make a PEAP\MSChapV2 VPN profile...using the users Windows creds! Change ServerAddress, DnsSuffix and choose a better L2tpPsk!! $a = New-EapConfiguration -UseWinlogonCredential $b = New-EapConfiguration -Peap -TunnledEapAuthMethod $a.EapConfigXmlStream Add-VpnConnection -Name "VPN (SSL)" -ServerAddress vpn.fqdn.com -AuthenticationMethod Eap -DnsSuffix my.domain.com -EapConfigXmlStream $b.EapConfigXmlStream -EncryptionLevel Maximum -Force -RememberCredential -AllUserConnection -TunnelType Sstp Add-VpnConnection -Name "VPN (L2TP)" -ServerAddress vpn.fqdn.com -AuthenticationMethod Eap -DnsSuffix my.domain.com -EapConfigXmlStream $b.EapConfigXmlStream -EncryptionLevel Maximum -Force -RememberCredential -AllUserConnection -TunnelType L2tp -L2tpPsk "shared secret key"
