OK I decided to write this up after unsuccessfully being able to find all the required info I needed in one place. In this setup we will be using Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS as the OS. I have this running on a home lab ESXi server 8, on a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF CPU = Intel Core i7-3770 Installed Memory 16 GB I have some 10K SAS drives installed for the VM's If you have not already, navigate to  Get Ubuntu Server | Download | Ubuntu and download the 22.04.2 LTS ISO Next Lets create our VM that we are going to run this in. *Note Im using ESXi however you can probably do this in Workstation, Fusion, VirtualBox etc The main things to note on the VM creation. Set Ubuntu 64 bit as the guest OS Set your CPU relevant to the physicals CPU, I will be starting with 4 VCPU Set your Memory to as much as you can tolerate, I will be using 12 Disk Space - we are creating a 100G swap file, and the rest of the file can take up some room , so more is better if you can afford it Dont forget to add the U

Active Directory Scripting

I was looking for a script the other day and found this post very helpful http://www.activexperts.com/activmonitor/windowsmanagement/adminscripts/usersgroups/groups/ Adding 1,000 Users to a Security Group Demonstration script that creates a security group named Group1, and adds one thousand users (UserNo1 through UserNo10000) to that group.

Thanks to Arron Parker for his writeup on the changes Profile Changes in Windows Vista/Longhorn Server by Aaron Parker on Friday, August 25, 2006 in Windows Windows Vista and Longhorn Server introduce a number of new user profile paths and environment variables that differ from earlier versions of Windows and these changes may have an impact on scripts such as logon scripts and application install scripts. Most scripts should work correctly – VBScript scripts that use system functions to find folder paths should work as expected, however batch scripts that use environment variables or hard codes scripts will require modifications. Here’s a short run down of the changes. The following table lists the old profile path and the corresponding new path under Windows Vista/Longhorn Server: Old Path New Path \Documents and Settings \Users \Documents and Settings\Default User or %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\Default User \Users\Default or %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOG

So when i was tasked with allowing our top level execs to access specific resources in the event of a H1N1 out break, i figured it would be a big pain in the A**. However with the release of R2, the process was so simple i was confused as to how easy it was (easy is something im not used to). I will post the setup process soon................
