by Hannes de Jager on 15 November 2011 · 1 comment

in Exchange,PowerShell

I’m wanting to build on my previous post titled “Using PowerShell from managed code” to show how to invoke the Exchange 2010 Management Shell from managed code. Since Exchange 2007, the primary management tool for Exchange is the Exchange Management Shell (EMS). The EMS is really just a PowerShell session with Exchange specific extensions loaded. [...]

by Robby Pedrica 11 October 2011 Applications

Wikis have come of age in the last few years, and provide a means of collating and storing documentation in a shared manner without the overhead of a full document management system.

by Hannes de Jager 4 October 2011 PowerShell

PHP Applications: Pt 2 – phpMyAdmin

by Robby Pedrica 22 September 2011 Applications

PMA has grown from a simple web client to a full featured MySQL management interface with a lot of bells and whistles. The current release of PMA ( 3.4.x ) requires at minimum php 5.2 [...]
