- Great French BistroWizard9145Dined on 11/8/2014Our table was ready upon arrival. The ambiance was cozy and friendly. The service was attentive but not intrusive. Appetizers of a cheese board and a charcuterie board were outstanding. Food was not rushed. A nice pause between courses making for a nice relaxing dining experience. All entrees were excellent...short ribs, chateaubriand, salmon. Raspberry soufflle for dessert was light, flavorful and delightful. Would definitely go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent place on 14thNJDinerVIPDined on 11/8/2014We have been to Jeanne & Gaston last weekend for dinner. It is hard to compete in that neighborhood but the place seems to hold its own. When we arrived, around 7ish, not many folks were there, however by 8 the place was packed. The menu is rather simple, but the choices pretty much fit to everyone's taste. We had Tuna Tartar - it was great. The Onion Soup was fantastic. Some of the company had Steak Tartar and it turned out amazing. The lamb chops were nice and tasty. The mussels were just OK. For dessert we chose Chocolate Souffle and it was fantastic - definitely worth waiting for. The staff gave us nice sorbet while we were waiting for dessert - it was a very nice and thoughtful.Special Features:
- Wish It Were Better2PickyLadiesDined on 11/2/2014When this was Gavroche, it was our favorite neighborhood bistro. Not so much now. Nothing particularly bad (except grit in a few of the mussels), but no stand-outs either. Eager to please, but falls a bit short.
- Cozy spotAutumnfriday1VIPDined on 10/30/2014Lovely food from an interesting menu. Relaxed atmosphere with friendly service. Will returnSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- More people need to know about this placeAviEatsOutVIPDined on 10/25/2014Absolutely a lovely French place in the area - please try it. The food is amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A nice first visitJimDDined on 10/24/2014I brought two friends from England, and while I can't say the place is anything to look at, we were treated very nicely indeed, and enjoyed our meal. There were two prix fixe options, and we selected the one which allowed us to choose from the entire menu. Everything that was put in front of us was very good, and just the right temperature, from the hot rolls to my crème brulee, which was cool, but not so cold to be tasteless. Though we sat there talking a long time, it happened not to be busy that night, so they let us be--which I thought was nice--coming by now and then to pour us a little more water. This turned out to be a great choice for entertaining my friends, and I'll want to come back on another occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday BrunchJannVIPDined on 10/19/2014Outstanding Croque Monsieur was the best I have ever had and accompanying fries were crisp and tasty. Drinks are well priced with 2nd drink at just a few $ more.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood gemOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 10/10/2014This is a Chelsea institution serving great food and giving exceptional service. Always a great choice!Special Features:

- garden oasisOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/27/2014This was our second visit . We visited in the spring when it was too cold to eat in the garden. We loved the food & it was on our list to come back & sit in the garden We finally got to do that Sat night with friends visiting from abroad. Since this is my second review all I can add is that the garden is lovely & truly adds to a great dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1st time great, 2nd ho-humGrandmaVIPDined on 9/25/2014Ate here two weeks ago. Pike quenelles and monkfish were both superb. But on return had salmon and steak frites...nothing special. The service was excellent.
- Let-Down...........FoodieDined on 9/20/2014Had been looking around for good restaurant with a backyard and from the reveiws, this looked like it might be a gem. Maybe I was asking for too much, but, althought the service was very friendly and efficient--wine was fair, food was OK, nothing special and the décor was shabby. Wouldn't go back.
- Nice Spot in ChelseaJerseyDinerInBigCityDined on 9/20/2014Booked Jeanne & Gaston on an impulse as I was going to be in Chelsea. We had an early dinner (630) and the restaurant was quiet. Service was attentive and unobtrusive. The outdoor garden was pleasant. My appetizer (escargot) and main course (short ribs) was excellent, as was the dessert. Prices were reasonable for the quality. Definitely a winner.Special Features:
- EATING OUTDOORS JUST LOVELYHoneyDined on 8/25/2014I always enjoy my visit to Jeanne & Gaston. I find their garden just perfect for outdoor dining and their menu is excellent. I have always had a delicious luncheon and fine wine as well. Their service is absolutely the best one could ask for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The following 203 reviews are from the Jeanne & Gaston reviews archive.
- CharmingThomasoDined on 7/30/2014Have eaten at Jean & Gaston previously but this time our group opted for the patio on a nice summer evening. We were surprised at how nice and pleasant it was. No city noise from 14th could be heard and the food was great as always. We all tried the $29 prix-fixe and were very pleased with out selections and the portions. The staff was very attentive and we never needed to ask for extra water etc. and never felt rushed. Would highly recommend this to all of our freinds to experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- French Food FunRrubinVIPDined on 7/27/2014We went to Jean and Gaston for brunch. For $21 we had a full two course meal which was excellent. You can order a la carte and still enjoy the meal. You can choose from seating in the Garden to the comfort of the a/c.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- hidden gemAlejandraVIPDined on 7/26/2014This was my third time at Jeanne and Gaston, but my first time in the garden. It was serene and a perfect night to dine outdoors. The food is delicious, authentic French food, with a bit of a modern twist. It feels like a great for the quality of food. I had a Lamb Croustillant that was great, I highly recommend it.Special Features:
- ExceptionalFoodieDined on 7/25/2014I love this restaurant! The staff is personable and attentive without being overbearing. The food is phenomenal (we had a shrimp-based daily special and the lobster/avocado Napolean as appetizers, and Le Bourguignon and Chateaubriand as entrees, followed by the cheese board finishing with raspberry souffle and raspberry summer pudding for dessert. Everything was superb! The garden in the back is charming and quiet with some white lights on the trees, candles on the tables and a fountain in the center. Understated and absolutely lovely. We will be going back next month and anytime we feel in need of a special treat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Garden lunchGeordyVIPDined on 7/25/2014Had a lovely lunch in the garden with 4 friends. The $21.99 dollar 2 course menu is not on line or posted outside but is a good deal. $ of us had the tarte flambee to start..like a flatbread, very thin crust pizza with cheese, bacon and tomatoes was light and delicious..and large! Prosciutto and melon also a good choice. Then 3 quenelles..one big one with a great sauce and rice and two..very chikeny chicken crepes! The food was delicious..and we all travel to France frequently, setting and service lovely!Special Features:
- great value, excellent foodAdamDined on 7/23/2014enjoyed a nice meal outside on the patio. it's a welcomed change from the noisy city, very quiet and cozy. the service was a little slow and the waiters weren't' totally in tune with the menu, but that wasn't a problem. i had a great napoleon appetizer and yummy short ribs. others had onion soup, pasta, and chicken, all thumbs up.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- j & gesratDined on 7/21/2014Absolutely no value for the money. Food was adequate, service spotty. Although billed a s a French bistro, was not particularly either.
- exceptionalJudyGVIPDined on 7/20/2014This was our first time here and definitely not our last. We sat outside in the garden in the back and the service was great and the food was delicious. Everything from the appetizer to the entrée to the wonderful soufflé for dessert, was delicious. We will definitely go back again.Special Features:

- I will be honestDebraVIPDined on 7/11/2014The back patio is lovely. Really nicely done. The people who work there are just wonderful. Friendly - helpful and ready to answer any questions or any requests. There is a however - however the food was not that wonderful. The pork belly was cooked to death! Food could be better. But the back is that nice. The waitstaff that wonderful. So you can overlook the food. Keep it simple and you should not be disappointed. They do the right thing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One Year Anniversary- Very SpecialLASunshyneDined on 7/7/2014Thanks to the small yet effective staff at Jeanne and Gaston for making our One Year Anniversary dinner so special. The courtyard was romantic and quiet. We felt like we'd discovered our own little getaway in the middle of Manhattan. Loved everything I ordered. The seafood napoleon appetizer which was 3 beautiful layers of crab and avocado was only outdone by the braised short ribs I had for dinner. I'd saved our wedding cake and they were kind enough to plate/decorate and present to us at the end of the meal. We have found a new favorite and plan to come back often.Special Features:
- French treateatingwellandloveitDined on 7/5/2014This is a lovely neighborhood spot with authentic French food that is delicious. The prix fixe weekend brunch is a treat, and it's a great place to go if you want to sit and talk and dawdle.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quite a Find!JABYDined on 7/1/2014Took a friend her for her Birthday dinner. Loved the food, setting & service. Great value!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice ambience, bad waitersOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/30/2014I went to Jeanne and Gaston for my birthday because I didn't have time to plan so I just picked the first french restaurant I found. Cute garden but they have typical plastic outdoor furniture...not very chic, although the candles and streaming lights are cute. The waiters were awful. I asked like 7 times for a place setting and they never brought it until my food came. There were a dozen used glasses on the table at a time. I had to beg for a fork and they didn't even give us enough menus to start, which is annoying considering we spent a ton on food that night. Mehh.... I wouldn't go back. Also, pretty overpriced.Special Features:
- Good for BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/29/2014We had gone to Jeanne & Gaston for a Christmas group dinner and we had a good time, good food, good wine, good service. We went for brunch on the way to the Rubin Museum and had another very nice experience. Good brunch choices, and good food for the moderate prices. We are not drinkers but there was a good selection of brunch drinks, plus there is a full bar. It was quiet that day except for the music, and the service was very good. Very enjoyable. We will go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

On September 9, Tina Sung, ASTD's president and CEO, spoke at a
meeting of the Training Officers Conference at Ft. McNair in
Washington, D.C. Founded in 1938, the Training Officers Conference
provides federal trainers with a way to learn about key training
issues. Below are excerpts of her speech.
I'd like to share my views about trends in the learning and
workplace performance field and what opportunities they present as
we look to the future. Let's start with what we all know: We know
that skilled workers are needed to drive growth and success.
Whatever else may occur in the future, we know the need for
learning will remain.
As we move from the New Economy to what is now known as the Next
Economy, we can expect an even greater emphasis on learning and
performance in the workplace. More emphasis; more need; more
scrutiny. And, more expectation of a solid return-on-investment.
In the Next Economy, learning will still be a continuous process.
But the cycle, or the half-life, of what we know will be shorter.
So, people will need to learn and develop their skills at a much
faster pace. At the same time, people's commitment to a single
organization is changing. People move from job to job, company to
company, agency to agency. Their skills, therefore, will need to be
not only relevant and marketable, but also transferable.
Leadership Development
We are seeing a renewed interest in leadership development and
coaching. This is coming about as more organizations recognize the
need to develop the next generation of leaders. Along with this
interest in leadership development is the emergence of executive
coaching as a distinct discipline within the learning profession.
This, for many of us, is a new specialty, calling for an even
higher level of business acumen along with knowledge of change
management and strong communication and interpersonal skills.
In the Next Economy, the organizations that succeed are more likely
to be those that are in tune with these broader developments that
are taking place - organizations that have the foresight to look
beyond their current needs and to project what their long-term
needs will be as well.
Let me give you one example. Everyone in the United States at some
point in their lives will interact with the Social Security
Administration. And many of you know that I worked for SSA for many
years. SSA currently issues some 43 million benefits checks every
month. In the next five years some 60 percent of the 65,000
employees working in SSA will be eligible to retire. So, this
government agency can conceivably lose as many as 36,000 employees,
many of them mid- and senior-level managers.
Several years ago, the commissioner and deputy commissioners
recognized this enormous "brain drain" heading their way. Wisely,
they created a strategy to upgrade the skills of their workers to
fill the gaps as senior-level employees began to retire. The agency
also began systematically to recruit the next generation of claims
representatives and benefit authorizers. To train those new
employees, the agency used an interactive e-learning model to
deliver training in half the normal time and at half the normal
I know many federal agencies are confronted with the same
demographics. And that the number one initiative on the President's
Management Agenda is the strategic management of human capital.
ASTD's Public Policy Council recently published Human Capital
Challenge, which
I met with Marta Perez, associate director for human-capital
leadership and merit systems accountability at OPM, and she said
these questions were exactly what the Chief Human Capital Officer
Council was addressing. In particular, she said many agencies want
to know
Diversity, beyond the way we have traditionally thought of it, is
beginning to re-emerge. Today, when we talk about diversity, we are
also talking about diversity of ideas, of thought, of people, of
culture, of points of view, of experience, and of skills. I'm not
alone in believing that the real winners of this century will be
those who prove with their actions that they can be both profitable
and socially responsible.
Recently, one of our members said to me, "Tina, in every
organization there are hundreds of people focused on the
financials, on the systems, on the 'hard stuff' of the
organization. But, only we in our profession focus on the people.
We are special." And she's right!
Yes, we are enablers of business outcomes. But we're more than
that. After all, we chose this profession because of our interest
in people, our desire to help others to realize their potential,
our desire to make a difference. We are the ones who look not only
at the bottom-line and agency mission, important as they are. We
are the ones who can help bring harmony and improved performance
through learning. It is not too much to say that through our
efforts we help to create a world that works better.
We do have a special calling. And I can think of no other time when
the world has been more in need, not only of skills and knowledge
in the workplace, but also in need of understanding, of tolerance,
and of mutual respect.

anything new in past year for pescatarian 45 min radius of plantation?
- 1newyorkguy Dec 1, 2013 03:14 AM
anything great I should know about? interested in different price points, different ethnicities.
Hot & Soul might also fit the bill...they have some awesome vegan and pescatarian options on both the regular, specials, and brunch menu.
re: LiveRock
thanks it doesn't have to be a seafood restaurant...just anything that is really tasty offering even great side dishes other than red meat/chicken.
re: retloctt
I totally agree...Marumi is hands down my favorite sushi / Japanese restaurant in South Florida!
re: Semprini
Pho Brandon is great!!! I've eaten there a few times and it's always fantastic. The service is a little clunky though. There's usually only one guy(owner?) and he runs around like crazy trying to do everything. Food usually comes out quick, but getting a water glass refilled takes some time. The Green Papaya Salad is a must get but be careful because it's a pretty large portion as are most of the items we've tried. We usually go home with enough for lunch the next day!!!
re: Semprini
I wasn't a big fan of El Agave Azul. Maybe it was just the stuff we got, but we haven't had the motivation to go back. It's setup buffet/cafeteria style and everything is already cooked. I've been to the west coast and seen this done properly. Everything was just kinda flat.
re: retloctt
I like EAA's sopes (the veg option with champinones & chile de arbol,) but most of the people I've brought there have shared your feelings about the place. Still, I'm glad I can get horchata and tamarind agua fresca in my neighborhood.
Thanks for the info about Pho Brandon, I'll check it out.
I just remembered another - 595 Tap and Tavern on state rd 84 at Hiatus (in the Winn-Dixie plaza.) There are several vegetarian and fish options. I'd say it's the best sports bar food in the area by a wide margin.
Two more that I noticed but haven't tried yet - casual Tex-Mex place named "Chicano Express" in the rambling plaza near 44th and University, just north of Joe's Crab Shack. http://www.chicanoexpressgrill.com/live/
The other is a Chilean restaurant on State Rd 7, just south of Griffin road, in a standalone building that was a muffler shop until recently. I don't think it was open for business when I first saw the place a few months ago, but it looked close.

IPH aims to promote public health awareness
Health and wellness are areas that tend to take a backseat to the stresses of everyday living. We get so caught up in the "hustle and bustle" of our routines that we forget to take care of what matters most. We tend to stop and only pay attention to our bodies when something is wrong. Yet, prevention goes a long way to ensure that we...

Bush joins the pantheon of noted portraitists
Van Gogh. Renoir. Bush.
President George W. Bush unveiled his portraits of world leaders on NBC's "Today" show Friday for his daughter, correspondent Jenna Bush Hager.
The portraits are on display at his presidential library in Dallas.
Bush joked that his latest self-portrait was an "improvement" upon his first attempt.

"The one in the bathtub!" Hager exclaimed.
"That one made me look like Alfred E. Newman!" Bush joked.
Bush said that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was incredulous when he told him he was painting him.
"I think I told Tony I was painting him and he brushed it off, so to speak," Bush said. "I like it because it conveys a compassionate person and a strong person and a reliable friend."
Also read: George W. Bush Tears Up During Interview With Matt Lauer
Bush said that he believes Russian President Vladamir Putin "views the U.S. as an enemy," and dished that his portrait of him was influenced by his rude opinion of the president's dog. He still holds a grudge.
"I was a little reluctant to put them out," Bush said of his paintings. "I'm not a great artist. I don't want people to think I'm a great artist."
Well tough luck, Mr. President, because we do. We truly do.

Figuring out how best to treat an incapacitated patient and finding relatives to notify can be like investigative work for paramedics and emergency medical technicians.Responders search for clues about patients' medical conditions, medications they're taking or allergies they have, says Matt Zavadsky, MedStar's director of operations. They rummage through purses and wallets for hints of their emergency contacts."We're basically in the dark when we get there," Zavadsky said.To change that, MedStar is encouraging potential patients to register for the Invisible Bracelet, a program that lets emergency responders quickly view on laptops a person's medical history and notify relatives via e-mail, phone or text message that their loved one is being hospitalized.For a $5 annual registration fee, patients go to www.invisiblebracelet.org and create profiles in the Invisible Bracelet medical registry. They can share, for example, whether they are diabetic or have a history of heart attacks and what medications they cannot tolerate.MedStar signed up for access to the registry about a month ago."Our paramedic or EMT can immediately pull up the information on a computer and know everything a person wants us to know about them," Zavadsky said."If we have a patient unconscious in a restaurant, for example, we could see that they have a peanut allergy and ask the waiter real quick, 'What did this person have to eat?' It's information that is very helpful."More informationSome patients already wear small bracelets with medical conditions written on them, Zavadsky said. But that information is usually one word, such as diabetic.The Invisible Bracelet lets patients share more detailed information. They can note that their diabetic condition is diet-controlled and that their normal blood sugar level is 180, he said.The new system is also more discreet, he said. Some people don't like to wear the jewelrylike bracelets because they feel as if it advertises the fact that they have a medical condition, Zavadsky said. With the Invisible Bracelet, patients put stickers on their driver's licenses or markers on their key chains with a personal identification number.Since MedStar rolled out the program, 2,500 to 3,000 people in the agency's service area have registered, Zavadsky said.Natalie Brown, a spokeswoman for Tulsa-based Docvia Llc., which developed the system, said the Invisible Bracelet was first tested in Oklahoma in April 2009. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State universities use it for their students, faculty and staff. About 100,000 people have registered as of July, Brown said.MedStar is the first Texas emergency medical responder to join the program, Brown said.Faster notificationsPatients can also enter names and contact information for people they want notified if they are hospitalized.Right now, MedStar commonly gets phone calls from worried relatives asking which hospital their loved ones were taken to, Zavadsky said. But federal privacy laws often restrict MedStar officials from simply telling them."We don't know for sure that they are who they say they are," Zavadsky said. "But with this program, with the click of a mouse we contact people with text messages or e-mails or voice mails saying that we are taking someone to Harris [hospital] with chest pains. You don't have to jump through all the hoops."The information in the registry is secure and complies with federal privacy laws, according to the company.Helping the homelessMedStar officials plan to approach area universities and colleges about using the system, Zavadsky said. It is also working with the Tarrant County Homeless Coalition to help homeless people register.Poor general health makes homeless people particularly prone to medical emergencies. But responders rarely have any medical information about them, Zavadsky said. Even if homeless people are conscious, they are sometimes wary of talking to paramedics.Cindy Crain, executive director of the coalition, said homeless people will get help registering at clinics starting July 23."The Invisible Bracelet program is ideal for persons experiencing homelessness," Crain said. "It will allow for accurate and accessible medical information to speed the delivery of healthcare services achieving better health outcomes."ALEX BRANCH, 817-390-7689

The company recalled older-model Jeep Grand Cherokees and Libertys in 2012 because the air bags could inflate without a crash, causing injuries.
Chrysler says in documents filed Wednesday that it can get enough hitches for the recall by March of next year.
Chrysler says it can fix recalled Jeep SUVs far faster than government safety regulators have predicted.
The development could end a spat between the carmaker and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration over the pace of the recall.
Earlier this month, the agency accused Chrysler of moving too slowly to fix up to 2.5 million older Grand Cherokees and Libertys with gas tanks behind the rear axles. The tanks could rupture in rear collisions, leak fuel and cause fires.
The remedy is to install a trailer hitch to protect the tanks.
NHTSA said it will take Chrysler more than four years to fix all the vehicles. But Chrysler says in documents filed Wednesday that it can get enough hitches for the recall by March of next year.

Tag Archives: MimbolovePowershell
Few days ago I wrote a PowerShell module that contains 1 cmdlet / function to resize the PowerShell console windows.
It was a quick job that I did less than half an hour. I wrote it primarily to make PowerShell Web Access (PSWA) more user friendly.
Over the last couple of days, I spent a bit more time on this module, and add a lot more functionality to it. The original module had 107 lines of code, and the updated one has 591 lines.
Here's a list of new features:
Additional cmdlets
This module now contains the following cmdlets:
- Resize-Console
- Get-CurrentConsoleSize
- Save-ConsoleProfile
- Remove-ConsoleProfile
- Get-ConsoleProfile
- Update-ConsoleProfile
I'll go through each cmdlets later
Aliases for all cmdlets and parameters
Since I wrote this module primarily for PSWA, and I intend to access PSWA primarily from mobile devices such as phones and tablets, I need to make the module easier to use. I am sure I'm not the only person who's suffering from fat finger syndrome. I HATE typing on tablets and phones. Even with the Type Cover 2 for my Surface Pro 2, I found the keys are too small. So less is more, aliases really help when I use mobile devices because I don't have to type as much.
Buffer width is always same as window width when re-sizing
When working on any kind of command prompts (cmd or PowerShell), I really don't like the horizontal scroll bar. by making the buffer width always the same as window width, I don't have to see the horizontal bars anymore.
Resize-Console –max switch
Or "rsc –m" if use aliases. The –max switch will move the window to the top left corner of the PRIMARY monitor and maximize the window size. It also set the buffer height to the maximum value of 9999. – This is equivalent to maximizing a normal window.
Every time I get on to a box (most likely via RDP) for the first time, I always had to manually set the PowerShell console size to suit my needs. then next time I RDP in from another computer with different display resolutions, I often had to set it again.
With resize-console –max, it will always set the console to the maximum size and occupies the entire screen. It will make my life so much easier. Not that I have OCD(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), but for those ones who do, this function would make you much happier I suppose :). I'll demonstrate this in the Youtube video at the end of this article.
Note: for this functionality, I used some of the code from Richard Siddaways's blog. So thanks to Richard.
Resize-Console –Profile
I have included a XML file (profiles.xml) in this module. We can save pre-defined console dimension (Window width and height) to this XML so we can use them later.
The screen size and resolution are different among different computers and mobile devices. I have created different profiles for each type of devices that I own, so when I use a particular device to access PSWA, I can simply apply the appropriate screen size to suit that device.
i.e. the screenshot below is taken from my mobile phone (Samsung Note3):
when I applied the profile "Note3", the PSWA console fits perfectly on the screen.
Or, on my 10.1 inch tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab2:
I used aliases, applied the "tab2" profile to fit the screen.
With the introduction to the –profile functions, this module now includes these functions for CRUD operations:
- Save-ConsoleProfile
- Remove-ConsoleProfile
- Get-ConsoleProfile
- Update-ConsoleProfile
For details of each functions, You can refer to the help information (get-help)
Note: only administrators will be able to modify the profiles.xml because it's located in a system folder. so if UAC is enabled, admins will need launch powershell console as Administrator in order to use the Remove-ConsoleProfile and Update-ConsoleProfile cmdlet.
This one simply display the current window size and buffer size on screen. it's reading the properties of "$host.ui.rawui"
For your reference, here's a recorded demo that I have updated to Youtube:
Please watch this video in full screen and 720P/1080P or you may not be able to see what's happening on the powershell console.
You can download the module HERE. simply unzip and copy the whole folder to C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules
So why am I spending time on this PowerShell project rather than System Center, which is my bread and butter? That would be the topic for my next blog article.
Please feel free to contact me for any issues or suggestions.
Until next time, happy PowerShelling
I'm currently working on a solution that relies on PowerShell Web Access (Hopefully I can finish tonight and blog it in next couple of days).
I have been a bit hesitate to use use PWSA every since I firstly tried it out briefly back in 2012 (and blogged my experience here).
Why am I hesitated? this is why:
The interface is just not that user-friendly with such a small window and that much useless space. There is no way to easily resize the window.
In my original blog post, I posted a simple script to increase the size. Today, I spent a little bit more time, wrote a module based on the original code, and of course made it more flexible.
This module has only one function called Resize-Console:
Function Resize-Console { <# .Synopsis Resize PowerShell console window .Description Resize PowerShell console window. Make it bigger, smaller or increase / reduce the width and height by a specified number .Parameter -Bigger Increase the window's both width and height by 10. .Parameter -Smaller Reduce the window's both width and height by 10. .Parameter Width Resize the window's width by passing in an integer. .Parameter Height Resize the window's height by passing in an integer. .Example # Make the window bigger. Resize-Console -bigger .Example # Make the window smaller. Resize-Console -smaller .Example # Increase the width by 15. Resize-Console -Width 15 .Example # Reduce the Height by 10. Resize-Console -Height -10 .Example # Reduce the Width by 5 and Increase Height by 10. Resize-Console -Width -5 -Height 10 #> [CmdletBinding()] PARAM ( [Parameter(Mandatory=$false,HelpMessage="Increase Width and Height by 10")][Switch] $Bigger, [Parameter(Mandatory=$false,HelpMessage="Reduce Width and Height by 10")][Switch] $Smaller, [Parameter(Mandatory=$false,HelpMessage="Increase / Reduce Width" )][Int32] $Width, [Parameter(Mandatory=$false,HelpMessage="Increase / Reduce Height" )][Int32] $Height ) #Get Current Buffer Size and Window Size $bufferSize = $Host.UI.RawUI.BufferSize $WindowSize = $host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize If ($Bigger -and $Smaller) { Write-Error "Please make up your mind, you can't go bigger and smaller at the same time!" } else { if ($Bigger) { $NewWindowWidth = $WindowSize.Width + 10 $NewWindowHeight = $WindowSize.Height + 10 #Buffer size cannot be smaller than Window size If ($bufferSize.Width -lt $NewWindowWidth) { $bufferSize.Width = $NewWindowWidth } if ($bufferSize.Height -lt $NewWindowHeight) { $bufferSize.Height = $NewWindowHeight } $WindowSize.Width = $NewWindowWidth $WindowSize.Height = $NewWindowHeight } elseif ($Smaller) { $NewWindowWidth = $WindowSize.Width - 10 $NewWindowHeight = $WindowSize.Height - 10 $WindowSize.Width = $NewWindowWidth $WindowSize.Height = $NewWindowHeight } if ($Width) { #Resize Width $NewWindowWidth = $WindowSize.Width + $Width If ($bufferSize.Width -lt $NewWindowWidth) { $bufferSize.Width = $NewWindowWidth } $WindowSize.Width = $NewWindowWidth } if ($Height) { #Resize Height $NewWindowHeight = $WindowSize.Height + $Height If ($bufferSize.Height -lt $NewWindowHeight) { $bufferSize.Height = $NewWindowHeight } $WindowSize.Height = $NewWindowHeight } #commit resize $host.UI.RawUI.BufferSize = $buffersize $host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize = $WindowSize } }
I have copied the folder containing this module to C:\Windows\System32\PowerShell\v1.0\Modules folder on the server hosting PSWA site so it is available for everyone.
Here's a screen video capture if you want to see it in action:
Note: Please watch this video in full screen (by double-clicking the video) and choose 720P if you can. Otherwise you might not see much in such a small window.
This module also works on normal PowerShell prompt windows. You can download this PSConsole module HERE. to set it up, simply copy to the folder I mentioned above.
To Check if WinRM has been enabled on a Remote machine:
$RemoteMachine = "Remote Machine Name" [system.convert]::ToBoolean(((winrm get winrm/config/winrs -r:$remotemachine | ?{$_ -imatch "AllowRemoteShellAccess"}).split("="))[1].trim())
To Check the Default HTTP listener port on a remote machine:
$RemoteMachine = "Remote Machine Name" [System.Convert]:: ToInt32(((winrm get winrm/config/Service/DefaultPorts -r:$RemoteMachine | ?{$_ -imatch "HTTP = " }).split("="))[1].trim())
To Check the Default HTTPS listener port on a remote machine:
$RemoteMachine = "Remote Machine Name" [System.Convert]:: ToInt32(((winrm get winrm/config/Service/DefaultPorts -r:$RemoteMachine | ?{$_ -imatch "HTTPS = " }).split("="))[1].trim())
As part of what I'm working on at the moment, I need to find out when the OpsMgr 2012 management group was initially installed using PowerShell (the installation time of the first management server).
To do so, I can either use the OpsMgr SDK or the OperationsManager PowerShell module. I've developed below scripts to run locally on a management server:
Using SDK:
$MgmtServer = $Env:COMPUTERNAME #Connect to SCOM management group [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Common") | Out-Null [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager") | Out-Null $MGConnSetting = New-Object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroupConnectionSettings($MgmtServer) $MG = New-Object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroup($MGConnSetting) $MG.GetManagementGroupMonitoringObject()
TimeAdded property indicates the MG initial installation date.
Using OperationsManager PowerShell module:
import-module OperationsManager $mg = Get-SCOMManagementGroup $mg.GetManagementGroupMonitoringObject() | format-list
Today I needed to retrieve information about SCOM 2012 resource pools in a PowerShell script, I needed to do this directly via SDK, rather than using the OperationsManager PowerShell module. I couldn't find any existing scripts via Google, so I spent some time playing with SDK and finally found it. Since it seems no one has mentioned it on the web, here's how I did it:
Firstly, load the SDK DLL's. I always use below function:
function Load-SDK() { [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Common") | Out-Null [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager") | Out-Null } Load-SDK
Secondly, connect to the management group. Since I'll be running this script on a management server, I'm connecting to the management group via the SDK service on the local machine:
$MGConnSetting = New-Object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroupConnectionSettings($env:computername) $MG = New-Object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroup($MGConnSetting)
Then, get the management group administration
$Admin = $MG.Administration
Finally, get all resource pools
$ResourcePools = $admin.GetManagementServicePools()
In the past, I've been using the GetAdministration() method from the management group object to retrieve MG administration object. This time, When I did it, the MG administration object returned from the method does not contain a method for GetManagementServicePools. I then realised the management group contains a property called Administration. the object type is the same as what's returned from GetAdministration() method.
But it looks like the object returned from the "Administration" property contains more members:
This is just a quick observation. In the future, I'll remember to check both places.
I ran up an instance of Windows Server 2012 in my test lab last night so I can play with various new features such as IPAM and PowerShell Web Access, etc.
Today I configured this box as the PowerShell Web Access (PSWA) gateway. I have to say, I am very very impressed! The implementation is easy, took me less than an hour (including time spent reading TechNet articles) and having ability to access PowerShell console on virtually any web browser for all Windows machines in my lab is just fantastic!
Now I can probably get away from using RDP most of the times since I'm pretty comfortable with PowerShell
So, here are the steps I took to setup PSWA:
1. Add the PSWA feature in Server Manager
2. Install PSWA web application using PowerShell:
3. Requested and installed a SSL certificate for the PSWA gateway machine from my Enterprise CA
4. In IIS, configured HTTPS for the default web site and used the SSL certificate I just installed from previous step.
5. Created an AD group called PSWA_Users and added few user IDs into this group.
6. Create PSWA Authorization Rule:
Add-PSWAAuthorizationRule -UserGroupName Corp\PSWA_Users -Computername * -ConfigurationName *
7. Since I can't guarantee that WinRM has been enabled and configured on every machine, I've created a GPO to enable WinRM and linked it to the domain root.
Now, PSWA is pretty much ready to go. I launch the web access console on Google Chrome and entered my credential and the computer that I wish to connect to:
And I'm in!
It's great to see that Microsoft releases a web-based product that runs on browsers other than IE. I don't think I've seen anything like this before!
Additional Configurations:
I started testing by connecting to a SCOM management server and tried to retrieve all SCOM agents in my management group (Only 11 in total so I'd assume not huge amount of data is returned). I used:
Import-Module OperationsManager $a = Get-SCOMAgent
Interestingly, it failed and the connection to the management server was closed:
Processing data for a remote command failed with the following error message: The WSMan provider host process did not return a proper response. A provider in the host process may have behaved improperly.
This reminded me the default setting for "Maximum amount of memory in MB per Shell" for WinRM, which I blogged previously in this post. The default setting on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 is 150MB. This default setting has increased to 1024MB on Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8.
So to test, since I have 3 management servers in the OM12 management group, I've increased this setting to 1024 on another management server. It fixed the error:
To further prove this error is actually caused by not having enough memory for the remote shell, I've connected PSWA to a Windows 8 machine, which has OM12 console and command shell installed. I used the following commands to connect to the OM12 management group:
Import-Module OperationsManager New-SCManagementGroupConnection OpsMgrMS03
It prompted an error saying I don't have sufficient permission:
This is by design, when using second hop in CredSSP, the credential has to be explicitly specified. so I changed the command to:
New-SCManagementGroupConnection OpsMgrMS03 –Credential (Get-Credential domain\MyID)
after entering the password, I was successfully connected and I managed to retrieve all SCOM agents by using Get-SCOMAgent Cmdlet without issues.
So to fix this issue once for all, I've modified the GPO I've just created and changed the "Maximum amount of memory in MB per Shell" setting to 1024.
Click here to see settings defined in my WinRM GPO.
I also configured another port forwarding rule on my ADSL router to forward port 443 to the PSWA gateway computer so I can connect when I'm not home.
PSWA on Mobile Devices:
I am able to launch and use PSWA on both my Android tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v running ICS) and my wife's iPad 3 (running iOS 6) using both built-in browsers and Google Chrome on both devices.
Below are few screenshots from my Galaxy Tab:
Maybe it's just me being an Apple noob, when I'm on the iPad, I could not find the Tab key on the keyboard, so I couldn't use the PowerShell auto completion feature. – One more reason that I'm staying away from that product!
Console Size:
by default, the console size is 120×35, which seems like a waste of space when I'm on a big screen.
So I wrote a simple PowerShell script called Resize-Console.ps1 to resize the window:
$bufferSize = $Host.UI.RawUI.BufferSize $buffersize.Width = 180 $host.UI.RawUI.BufferSize = $buffersize $WindowSize = $host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize $WindowSize.Width = 180 $WindowSize.Height = 40 $host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize = $WindowSize
After I ran this script, the console fits perfectly on my Galaxy tab (resolution 1280×800):
This console size also works great on my laptop, which has the resolution of 1366×768. For different resolutions, the width and height need to be adjusted in the script. the only catch is the buffersize cannot be less than the window size (I set the width for both sizes to be the same).
I haven't managed to work out a automated way to resize the console as when in a PS remote session, there is no $profile so I can't add scripts into $profile like we normally do on a local console. If I find a way in the future, I'll post it here.
This is what I found so far. I'll continue to blog on this topic if I find any other interesting stuff!
By the way, I followed this TechNet article to configure the PSWA: Deploy Windows PowerShell Web Access
if you search on how to enable SCOM agent proxy for all your SCOM agents using PowerShell, you'll get lots of posts and scripts that shows you how to do it in SCOM 2007 or 2012. In fact, I have written few back in the days.
However, no matter if the script uses SCOM 2007 PowerShell Snap-in, or SCOM 2012 PowerShell module, or even SCOM SDK, there is one limitation: the "ProxyingEnabled" property of the agent class is not one of the search criteria that you can use when retrieving the agent:
If you use the SCOM SDK, there are only 4 property names that can be used in the search criteria expression:
- Id
- Name
- LastModified
- DisplayName
ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.enterprisemanagement.administration.agentmanagedcomputercriteria.aspx
So in order to retrieve the agents that are not ProxyingEnabled, we can only client-side filtering, which retrieves ALL agents in the management group and then filter-out the ones that ProxyingEnabled is set to False.
Using SCOM 2007 PowerShell Snap-in:
Get-agent | where-object {$_.ProxyingEnabled -match "false"}| foreach {$_.ProxyingEnabled = $true; $_.applyChanges()}
Using SCOM 2012 PowerShell Module:
Get-SCOMAgent | where-object {$_.ProxyingEnabled –match "false"} | Enable-SCOMAgentProxy
Using SCOM SDK in PowerShell:
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Common") | Out-Null [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager") | Out-Null $RMS = "RMS SERVER NAME" $MGConnSetting = New-Object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroupConnectionSettings(RMS ) $MG = New-Object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroup($MGConnSetting) #Get MG Admin $Admin = $MG.GetAdministration() #Search agents $Agents = $Admin.GetAllAgentManagedComputers() Foreach ($Agent in $Agents) { If (!($Agent.ProxyingEnabled.Value)) { Write-Host "Enabling Agent Proxy for $($Agent.Name)`..." $Agent.ProxyingEnabled = $true $Agent.ApplyChanges() } }
Imagine in a large management group with few thousands agents or more and there are only couple of agents that don't have Agent Proxy enabled. the script / cmdlet will take a long time and a lot of system resources to run because it needs to retrieve information of ALL agents first!
So I wrote a PowerShell script to perform this task a bit differently:
- Firstly run a SQL query against SCOM operational database to retrieve a list of agents that do not have agent proxy enabled
- connect to SCOM SDK and for each agent retrieved from the database, turn on agent proxy.
This is much more efficient as it only retrieves agents that do not have agent proxy enabled, not the whole lot!
The script uses SCOM SDK, it works on both 2007 and 2012 environments.
To run it on a SCOM management server, no other parameters need to be specified.
To run it on a SCOM agent, you will need to specify a management server in the management group that you wish to connect to (does not have to be RMS or RMSE)
Additionally, the default SQL query timeout is set to 120 seconds, you can specify a different value by using the –SQLQueryTimeout parameter
DOWNLOAD Enable-AgentProxy.ps1
By the way, I also tried to run below SQL command to directly change the ProxyingEnabled attribute in the database (similar to Kevin Holman's query to change all agents to remote manageable):
Update MT_HealthService Set ProxyingEnabled = 1 where ProxyingEnabled = 0
After I ran this SQL command, the agent proxy setting did get updated in the SCOM console, but I'm not sure if this is supported or not, thus I wrote this script instead.
Often, IT admins need to workout the first/second/third/fourth Mon/Tue/Wed/Thur/Fri/Sat/Sun of any given month. some good examples are:
- Prepare themselves for Microsoft's patching Tuesday of each month
- Planning for any admin tasks caused by Day Light Saving time change
So I wrote this simple function today to calculate the date for any given month & year.
Here's the function:
Function Get-WeekDayInMonth ([int]$Month, [int]$year, [int]$WeekNumber, [int]$WeekDay) { $FirstDayOfMonth = Get-Date -Year $year -Month $Month -Day 1 -Hour 0 -Minute 0 -Second 0 #First week day of the month (i.e. first monday of the month) [int]$FirstDayofMonthDay = $FirstDayOfMonth.DayOfWeek $Difference = $WeekDay - $FirstDayofMonthDay If ($Difference -lt 0) { $DaysToAdd = 7 - ($FirstDayofMonthDay - $WeekDay) } elseif ($difference -eq 0 ) { $DaysToAdd = 0 }else { $DaysToAdd = $Difference } $FirstWeekDayofMonth = $FirstDayOfMonth.AddDays($DaysToAdd) Remove-Variable DaysToAdd #Add Weeks $DaysToAdd = ($WeekNumber -1)*7 $TheDay = $FirstWeekDayofMonth.AddDays($DaysToAdd) If (!($TheDay.Month -eq $Month -and $TheDay.Year -eq $Year)) { $TheDay = $null } $TheDay }
the $weekday variable represents the week day you after:
Few years ago, I posted the SCOM Enhanced Email Notification Script in this blog and became well adopted by the community. Over the last week or so, I have spent most of my time at night re-writing this script and I have completed the new version (2.0) now.
There are few reasons why I have decided to rewrite this script:
- Make it to work in SCOM 2012
- To be able to include Company Knowledge articles in the email (someone asked me about this a long time ago)
- Ability to use an external / public SMTP server (i.e. gmail) to send emails so I can decommission the Exchange server in my test lab. – since all I use this Exchange server for is to send out alert notifications and it can't email out to the real world!
- Improve the email HTML body layout.
So what's changed?
- Now the script uses SCOM SDK instead of SCOM PowerShell snap-in / module. And because of this, it works on both SCOM 2007 R2 and SCOM 2012. – so far, from my experience playing with the them, the SDK's in SCOM 2007 and 2012 look pretty similar!
- Also because of the use of SCOM SDK, I'm able to retrieve Company Knowledge articles.
- In the original script, it would only retrieve knowledge articles when the language of the article is ENU ("en-US"). Therefore, any knowledge articles stored in other language packs (such as ENA) in the management pack would not be retrieved. The script now retrieve ALL knowledge articles AND ALL company knowledge articles and display ALL of them in the email (as shown in the sample below).
- I have moved all the customisations out of the script itself to a config.xml to store customised settings. No need to modify the PS1 script anymore. Simply make necessary changes in the config.xml and place it to the same folder as the script.
- When setting up a native SCOM SMTP notification channel, there are only 2 authentication methods you can choose from: Anonymous and Windows Integrated. This script can be configured to use a separate user name and password to authenticate to SMTP so external SMTP servers such as gmail can be used. This eliminates the needs of having to use Exchange server for mail relay.
- In the original script, the alert resolution state is updated once the script has processed the alert. This feature can now be turned off. – Because we don't always want to update the resolution state.
- Additionally, I have made the email body look a bit tidier, the layout now looks more similar to the alert view in the SCOM consoles:
How to setup command subscription?
The command subscription setup is very similar to the previous version. However, for the new script, the web console link also needs to be passed into the script. I remove the section to generate web console link for the alert because the web console link can be passed into the script as a parameter natively by SCOM, why generate it again in the script when it's already available natively?
Assuming the script is located on D:\Script folder of your RMS / MS. here's how you set it up:
From zip file that you can download from the link at the end of this post, you'll find these files:
It contains:
- The version 2 of the SCOMEnhancedEmailNotification.ps1 script.
- config.xml that you will need to modify to suit your needs
- XML explaination.xlsx – explains each tag of the config.xml in details.
- Command Channel Setup.txt – what to enter when setting up command channel. (assuming the script is located at D:\Script). you can simply change the location of the script and email addresses, then copy & paste each field.
- XML Sample – contains 3 config.xml samples. one for each SMTP authentication method (Anonymous, Integrated and Credential).
The notifications subscriber and subscriptions are setup exactly the same way as the original version of the script. you can simply refer to the original blog post.
As we all know, we can see how many concurrent SDK connections have been established on the RMS by looking at the Client Connections counter in OpsMgr SDK Service:
To find out who are actually connected, you can use the SDK:
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.Common") [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager") $RootMS = "SCOM01" $MGConnSetting = New-Object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroupConnectionSettings($RootMS) $ManagementGroup = New-Object Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroup($MGConnSetting) $ManagementGroup.GetConnectedUserNames()

November 26, 2014
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Republican Senate candidate Tommy Thompson says Gov. Scott Walker has turned Wisconsin around after his Democratic predecessor "screwed up the state."
Thompson spoke Sunday at a fundraiser hosted by vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan. Thompson referred to Ryan as the "Janesville flash."
Thompson says the election of Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle in 2002 was a "mental lapse by the state." He says Doyle undid much of the work he did over 14 years as governor and "screwed up the state" with more regulation, more taxes and less people at work.
But Thompson says Walker came onto the scene "riding on a white horse" and he has turned Wisconsin around.
Thompson faces Democrat Tammy Baldwin in the race for Wisconsin's open Senate seat.

Infused with performance inspiration from around the world, the company produces a plethora of different shows, each with their unique storyline.While the company is known for their travelling performances, which circle the globe, performing on every continent except Antarctica, the past 20 years have seen Las Vegas become the mecca of Cirque, with nearly every MGM casino property on the Strip having its own permanent stage production on-site.With Cirque being such a dominant force in the entertainment world, it comes as no surprise that they would want to take things to the next level, which is where writer/director Andrew Anderson (Shrek, The Chronicles of Narnia) and executive producer James Cameron step in, offering a more affordable, "best-of" representation of the show, with Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away 3D.The film begins in what appears to be Anywhere, USA, with the elfish Mia (Erica Linz) crossing over to the clichéd wrong-side-of-the-tracks to visit a rather seedy travelling circus, complete with a bearded lady and a bevy of other freaks. She spies a handsome young man (Igor Zaripov), who turns out to be the circus's prime attraction, the Aerialist, and immediately becomes smitten. It's during his performance that things go awry, as he falls from above into an ersatz Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole, with Mia chasing after.What follows is a "greatest hits" package of the many Las Vegas Cirque shows, as the young lady goes in search of her aerialist love. Travelling between enormous circus tents in an otherwise empty desert, with each tent representing a specific show, the narrative attempts to merge the storylines and performances of O, Mystére, KÀ, Love, Zumanity and the now defunct Viva Elvis.Given the strong narratives contained within the respective stage shows, each one vividly different from the next, it comes as no surprise that the film's plot is incredibly confusing and, at times, completely incoherent — particularly when moments from the Beatles and Elvis shows are injected into this metaphorical "travelling to the ends of the world" love story — going off on various tangents that make little sense. Sadly, the lack of a solid story will leave some questioning what's happening on the big screen, even with the intense visuals to focus upon.And while the visuals are intended to be the major selling point for Worlds Away, even they miss the mark. While the usage of 3D technology affords a new dimension to the various stage performances, they fail to replicate the physicality and sense of danger viewers experience when seated in a theatre.One example is the enormous 360-degree rotating stage featured in KÀ — a technological wonder and a true sight to behold — which looks disproportionate and awkward when viewed on film, something exacerbated by the forced perspective of movie, which doesn't take into account the freedom of the wandering eye when watching a stage production.While Worlds Away is perplexing on the narrative front, having the task of forcing a story onto a series of thematically disconnected vignettes, the acrobatics and cinematography have definite visual appeal. Those familiar with Cirque du Soleil will find much to reminisce about while those unfamiliar, but keen on 3D visuals will be entertained.However, if you're a fan of Criss Angel, you should be warned: the director seemingly snubbed the "magician" by completely omitting scenes from his Vegas stage show, simply using a bunny as subtle acknowledgement.(Paramount) GET IT!
