Logging to an SQL server: With only ~30 machines, you should be fine with pretty much any centralised syslog-alike … Read more
How to configure a Windows machine to allow file sharing with a DNS alias
To facilitate failover schemes, a common technique is to use DNS CNAME records (DNS Aliases) for different machine roles. Then instead of changing the Windows computername of the actual machine name, one can switch a DNS record to point to a new host. This can work on Microsoft Windows machines, but to make it work … Read more
What is the Windows equivalent of Unix “whoami” command?
Since Windows 2000, the whoami command has been part of the standard command line (thanks to pk for clearing that up in comments!). You can do this: Open a command prompt and type “set” then hit enter. This shows active environment variables. Current logged on username is stored in the USERNAME env variable and your … Read more

Why hasn’t rsync caught on in the Windows world? [closed]
I would say mostly because people in windows are unaware of it. Rsync is a command-line utility that is consistent with the unix philosophy of having lots of small tools preinstalled. The windows philosophy is based around GUI applications that are all downloaded and installed separately. There is not a smooth integration spot where rsync … Read more
