SysAdmin Sense

Ok, today I had to go a little old school with CommVault. My quest, to add the new media servers to the Data Interface Pairs for some clients. I tried passing parameters, and either I was doing it wrong, or something didn't like the parameters. So OLD SCHOOL here we come.... The command line is   qoperation execscript -sn DataInterfacePairConfig -si add -si CLIENTNAME -si CLIENTIP -si tb-MEDIASERVERNAME -si MEDIASERVERIP Now I've seen this in other forums with the media server listed first and the client second. But after adding one manually that way, I noticed it was listed backwards from the way CommVault listed it when entered through the GUI. Note that you must specify both the NAME and IP of the Client and the Media Server So in my example : qoperation execscript -sn DataInterfacePairConfig -si add -si fileserv1 -si 192.168.5.10 -si cvmedia1 -si 192.168.5.2 Now for me...

While there are some things I dislike in Office 2013 ( The limited "Office Theme" being one of them) One of the features in Office 2013 that I like is the "Search with" but by default it is set to "Search with Bing"  I would rather use Google. By two simple registry additions we can change this to "Search with Google" Open the registry editor  (start \ run \ regedit) Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General 1) Right click in an open area of the right pane. Click New Select String Value Add the value name =   SearchProviderName Add the value data  = Google 2) Right click in the open area of the right pane again. Click New Select String Value Add the value name = SearchProviderURI Add the value data =   http://www.google.com/search?q= (Note the last letter in the value name is i as in indigo not l as in lima)
