Tunneling Dameware Mini Remote Control over WinSSHd

Here's a slick method of tunneling Dameware Mini Remote Control over SSH, between 2 Windows machines.

Here's a simple diagram of what we're doing:

BitVise WinSSHd and Tunnelier are available here.

On Tunnelier, configure the following C2S (Client to Server) forwarding ports:
See here for more info on running Dameware through a firewall. See here on installing and configuring the MS Loopback Adapter.

137,138,139 for NetBios
6139 default Dameware port

Dameware can use port 445 CIFS but falls back to SMB and works fine.

ScreenCap: Tunnelier port forwarding configuration

Enable port forwarding in Tunnelier on the C2S Fwding tab. The destination host can be 127.0.0.1 if you want to Dameware into the SSH endpoint, or any hostname or IP on the SSH endpoint network, as required.

Note: With the security settings changes to Windows XP SP2, you may need to install the Windows Loopback adapter.

That's it. Have fun.

Fun with Logparser.exe and EventID 1221

Here's a simple query against the Application log on a remote Exchange server through logparser.exe to grab 2 days worth of EventID 1221 (summary of online after-hours maintenance). I've added this to my daily Exchange server status script. Note per MS that you should do an offline defrag (eseutil /d) to get the real free space readings

LogParser.exe "select TimeGenerated, EventID, Message into out2.csv f
rom \\exchangeServer\Application where eventid = 1221 and TimeGenerated >= TO_LOCALTIM
E(SUB(SYSTEM_TIMESTAMP(),TIMESTAMP('2','d')))"

Picture Post of the Week

DSC_0140.JPGOn the way out of my sister and brother-in-law's place near Berkeley tonight I stopped to take a quick picture of the front yard lighting. I don't have a property release for this one, but since I helped trench the wiring I'm sure Gary will let me slip by with this one...

FYI, this is F/3.5 1/3 sec handheld on a Nikon D70 with an 18~200 mm Nikkor lens. Also, considering work and all this may be the only picture post of the week this month, sorry. :-)
