In order to generate of users for your customer's needs, you may run the DS* set of tools that are included with the administrative tools for Windows 2003 and 2008. These built-in command line tools can grab user content based on the criteria you pass to the command. The following examples below are a few useful ones that can be redirected into a text file for viewing:
Get a User List for a Particular Customer
dsquery user -limit 1000 | dsget user -fn -ln -display -desc -pwdneverexpires -acctexpires -disabled
Get a User List of Inactive Users for a Particular Customer (Over 13 Weeks of Inactivity)
dsquery user -inactive 13 -limit 1000 | dsget user -fn -ln -display -desc -pwdneverexpires -acctexpires -disabled
Get a User List of Users Who Haven't Changed Their Passwords for a Particular Customer (Over 45 days)
dsquery user -stalepwd 45 -limit 1000 | dsget user -fn -ln -display -desc -pwdneverexpires -acctexpires -disabled
There are many more combinations that you can pull out from Active Directory. You just need to review the list by running the DS* command with a /? for the additional options.
For Active Directory, there are a few command line tools in gathering up data for objects as well creating and deleting objects. For exports and imports, you can use the following tools:
- CSVDE - command line tool that creates a CSV or similarly delimited file with existing data gathered from Active Directory
- LDIFDE - command line tool that creates a LDF file that gives more flexibility in how data is gathered from Active Directory and summarily imported back into Active Directory
Alternatively, for scripted actions as well as one-off actions that an administrator wants to perform (reporting on group membership for example), you can use the following set of commands:
- DSQUERY - Queries an object(s) for information
- DSGET - Sets operational target to the selected object
- DSADD - Adds an object to Active Directory
- DSMOVE - Moves an object from one location to another
- DSMOD - Modifies an existing Active Directory object
- DSRM - Removes an object(s) from Active Directory

Network Configuration can be done by couple of ways
use the following commands
Ifconfig : display the network Setting
Ifconfig –a : display all the adaptors/settings/configurations
ifconfig eth0 down ; power down the Ethernet adaptor eth0
ifconfig eth0 up : power up the Ethernet adaptor eth0
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 : set eth0 adaptor to ip address to 192.168.1.1
ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0 : set eth0 adaptor to subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
ifconfig eth0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 :Change Broadcast address of the interface eth0.
ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 : Assign ip-address, net mask and broadcast at the same time to interface eht0.
to perform things in advance configuration you can also use Network Configuration File
Redhat linux : vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Ubuntu : sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
Entries needed to be like this
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=STATIC

System Details: This installation has been done on following environment. This can be replicated on RedHat server as well.
OS: CentOS release 5.5
Perl: Perl, v5.8.8
Web Server: Apache/2.2.3 (installed in "/etc/httpd")
1. Download Awstats:
Download the awstats tarball and untar the file into /usr/local/ directory (you may have your own choice).
Steps:
# cd /usr/local
# wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/awstats/awstats-7.0.tar.gz
# tar -xzvf awstats-7.0.tar.gz
# mv awstats-7.0.tar.gz /tmp
# mv awstats-7.0/ awstats
# cd awstats
2. Configure Awstats:
To configure the awstats we need to execute the "awstats_configure.pl" script from /usr/local/awstats/tools directory. It will ask following questions:
Config file path ('none' to skip web server setup):
>/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (your apache configuration file path).
Do you want me to build a new AWStats config/profile
file (required if first install) [y/N] ? y (if you want to create a new config file for a http VirtualHost(for your URL))
Your web site, virtual server or profile name:
>myurl (Use your website name as profile name).
In which directory do you plan to store your config file(s) ?
Default: /etc/awstats
Directory path to store config file(s) (Enter for default): (I'm keeping this default)
That's it for initial setup. Now we need to configure the config file, which was created during above setup( in /etc/awstats directory).
Press the Entre twice now. It will show you the following important information.
You can do it manually by adding the following command to your cron:
/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update -config=>
Or if you have several config files and prefer having only one command:
/usr/local/awstats/tools/awstats_updateall.pl now
A SIMPLE config file has been created: /etc/awstats/awstats.myurl.conf
You should have a look inside to check and change manually main parameters.
You can then manually update your statistics for '>' with command:
The "awstats.myurl.conf" if the configuration file which can be used to configure to enable/disable the required parameters in awstats for the particular URL. The default option would be enabled and configured automatically. Please check following parameters:
DirData="/var/lib/awstats"
LogFile="/var/log/httpd/access.log"
Configuration changes made in apache config "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf"
#. Directives to allow use of AWStats as a CGI
Alias /awstatsclasses "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/classes/"
Alias /awstatscss "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/css/"
Alias /awstatsicons "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/icon/"
ScriptAlias /awstats/ "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/"
#. This is to permit URL access to scripts/files in AWStats directory.
<Directory "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Create the data directory mentioned above.
#mkdir /var/log/awstats
#chown -R apache:apache /var/log/awstats
#/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Now access the following URL to access the awstats report.
http://www.yourdomain.com/awstats/awstats.pl?config=myurl

----- AWStats awstats_configure 1.0 (build 20140126) (c) Laurent Destailleur ---
--
This tool will help you to configure AWStats to analyze statistics for
one web server. You can try to use it to let it do all that is possible
in AWStats setup, however following the step by step manual setup
documentation (docs/index.html) is often a better idea. Above all if:
- You are not an administrator user,
- You want to analyze downloaded log files without web server,
- You want to analyze mail or ftp log files instead of web log files,
- You need to analyze load balanced servers log files,
- You want to 'understand' all possible ways to use AWStats...
Read the AWStats documentation (docs/index.html).
-----> Running OS detected: Windows
-----> Check for web server install

-----> Need to create a new config file ?
Do you want me to build a new AWStats config/profile
file (required if first install) [y/N] ? y
-----> Define config file name to create
What is the name of your web site or profile analysis ?
Example: www.mysite.com
Example: demo
Your web site, virtual server or profile name:
> mytestsite.com
-----> Create config file 'E:/awstats-7.3\wwwroot\cgi-bin\awstats.mytestsite.
com.conf'
Config file E:/awstats-7.3\wwwroot\cgi-bin\awstats.mytestsite.conf creat
ed.
-----> Add update process inside a scheduler
Sorry, for Windows users, if you want to have statistics to be
updated on a regular basis, you have to add the update process
in a scheduler task manually (See AWStats docs/index.html).
Press ENTER to continue...
A SIMPLE config file has been created: E:/awstats-7.3\wwwroot\cgi-bin\awstats.mytestsite.com.conf
You should have a look inside to check and change manually main parameters.
You can then manually update your statistics for 'mytestsite.com' with comman
d:
> perl awstats.pl -update -config=mytestsite.com
You can also read your statistics for 'mytestsite.com' with URL:
> http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=mytestsite.com
Press ENTER to finish...
Ever need to create a more detailed log for Windows 2008 failover clustering? Well, it became much easier for you. Just run the following command and then go into the directory C:\Windows\Cluster\Reports to get the cluster.log file:
cluster log /g /level:5

his applies to all the version of tomcat and this feature enabled for NimsoftSD and helped a lot to improve their application performance.
What is GZIP?
It is a compression format created by Jean-Loup Gailly and Mark Adler. Version 0.1 was first publicly released on October 31, 1992.
GZIP is based on the DEFLATE algorithm, which is a combination of LZ77 and Huffman coding. DEFLATE was intended as a replacement for LZW and other patent-encumbered data compression algorithms which, at the time, limited the usability of compress and other popular archives.
How does it helps in improving performance of my web page?
Modern browser like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera etc supports gzip compressed content. These browsers are capable of uncompressing gzip data into plain text. Servers like Apache, Tomcat, JBoss etc supports gzip compression too. Hence if gzip is enabled in such servers, the response if first compressed and then send to client. Hence this increase performance by many folds.
How to enable GZIP in my tomcat server?
Here is how to enable GZIP compression on Tomcat: edit file /conf/server.xml and add to the HTTP Connector configuration something like this:
compression="on"
compressionMinSize="2048"
noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata"
compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml"
An example of a HTTP Connector configuration with compression enabled could be:
<Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"
compression="on"
compressionMinSize="2048"
noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata"
compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml"/>
The short answer is "yes" however its not recommended nor supported. If you choose to perform this option, you have to go in and just like any standalone Windows box first unjoin it and then rejoin the cluster nodes to the Active Directory domain you are looking for.
