OKAY! All you Windows users and admins and fanboys, Microsoft followers and folks, all you 90% of the computer users in the world...

After over 6 years of complaining that FreeRepublic doesn't have a Windows Ping List, I have finally decided that it's up to me to make one!
So if you want on the All-New Windows Ping List (or off, but ya gotta get on before you can get off), FReepMail me (dayglored) and I'll put ya on the list.

I won't need to use Powershell scripting to read them.

Powershell's not that bad. I've even got some of the Java devs at work using it now.

Small is not always better. When your port is bigger than your puter. Ouch.

Good question tho.

I may try 10 .. Do the multiboot thing.. Or astral project myself into the code. There is Beta out there I think.

That depends on your definition of the word "do"...

I want to see what mods and stuff people can do with it before I would try it.

I’m not that fancy.

I use dsadd and, if needed, use Powershell to set user attributes.

I have to watch the users lists, though, because I get a few people with two last names that are not hyphenated.

I used to have a fear of making mods. But .. Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.. Being a UNIX SUN HP support guy was always more fun than NT or OS2 guy.

You're on (I compiled the list in the comment after yours just before I saw your request).

We’ve got about 5,000 users in 14 companies. There’s a lot of turnover and transfers so we automate as much of it as we can. We also use Exchange so email provisioning is part of that.

My current operating system proclaims itself to be “Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview Evaluation copy, Build 10041”.

What I find appalling is the number of Windows people who react to the command line like a vampire to holy water.

I’ve had programs that needed certain Windows features turned on and unless I figured out how to do it from a script, I would still be working on those computers.
