I’ve been working on my CCNA and have a need to break down the concepts, configurations etc. into bite sized study topics. So instead of creating this one in my notebook as I usually do, I decided I would share some key points of the OSPF protocol. Don’t expect anything ground breaking here, but if you are also working on your CCNA or just want to review, then maybe you’ll also find this handy. Oh and all of these are notes from the CCNA ICND2 official exam certification guide (second edition) by Wendell Odom.

The first, is that you the reader, are looking to clone a drive on the basis that you would like to use this as part of a backup solution. The second, is that you are running windows 7, windows vista, or windows server 2008.
Remote computing and PowerShell 2.0 part 2 – Running a Scriptblock on a remote machine
Last week I discussed enabling a connection and running a single command on a remote computer using powershell. In this post I’m going to continue that dialogue by discussing running a scriptblock on a remote computer.
Remote computing and PowerShell 2.0 part 1 – Getting started
It’s a pretty routine event for me to be remotely logged into more then one Windows server through Remote Desktop, or even occasionally sending a command from CMD to a remote server. PowerShell has not been left out of the game, when it comes to remote computing. If you have a Windows 7, and a Windows 2008 machine, then everything you need has likely already been installed.
