Exchange 2010 One-liner: Get All Network Interface Information

Here are a few quick powershell one-liners to get all the network interface information in your exchange environment:

$ExchServers=(Get-ExchangeServer); @(foreach ($Srv in $ExchServers) {Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Filter IPEnabled=TRUE -ComputerName $Srv.Name | select @{Name="Server";Expression={$Srv.Name}},@{Name="DNS Host Name";Expression={$_.DNSHostName}},@{Name="Server Role";Expression={$Srv.ServerRole}},Description,@{Name="IP Address";Expression={$_.IPAddress}},@{Name="IP Subnet";Expression={$_.IPSubnet}},@{Name="Default Gateway";Expression={$_.DefaultIPGateway}},@{Name="Mac Address";Expression={$_.MacAddress}},@{Name="DNS Suffix Search Order";Expression={$_.DNSDomainSuffixSearchOrder}},@{Name="DNS Server Search Order";Expression={$_.DNSServerSearchOrder}},FullDNSRegistrationEnabled}) |Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation "C:\Temp\Exchange-network.csv"

If you just want interface information for Exchange 2010 servers:

$ExchServers=(Get-ExchangeServer | where {$_.ServerRole -ne "None"}); @(foreach ($Srv in $ExchServers) {Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Filter IPEnabled=TRUE -ComputerName $Srv.Name | select @{Name="Server";Expression={$Srv.Name}},@{Name="DNS Host Name";Expression={$_.DNSHostName}},@{Name="Server Role";Expression={$Srv.ServerRole}},Description,@{Name="IP Address";Expression={$_.IPAddress}},@{Name="IP Subnet";Expression={$_.IPSubnet}},@{Name="Default Gateway";Expression={$_.DefaultIPGateway}},@{Name="Mac Address";Expression={$_.MacAddress}},@{Name="DNS Suffix Search Order";Expression={$_.DNSDomainSuffixSearchOrder}},@{Name="DNS Server Search Order";Expression={$_.DNSServerSearchOrder}},FullDNSRegistrationEnabled}) |Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation "C:\Temp\Exchange2010-network.csv"

Active Directory: Essential Tools

During my many years of working with active directory I’ve used several tools. Here are some of the best that I’ve used which are not baked into windows. Good thing about this list is that most of these tools are fee! Another bonus is that most of the information gathering tools don’t require elevated rights as, by default, domain users have read-only access to active directory.

Exchange 2010: Automated Firewall Rule Generation 1.4

I made some updates to the automated firewall rule generation script. This includes some updates to the firewall rule spreadsheet to give information on setting setic ports and port ranges for RPC based services. This csv file may be a good general reference even without the script.

Exchange 2010: Automated Firewall Rule Generation 1.2

I made a few changes to this script to make it more modular and to allow for more exceptions in regards to DAGs and sites. Enjoy!
