MM is correct. the > is a dump. Or if you wanted to append it would be >> if memory serves me right.

Soul yours if you put a space in every now and again would do wide format, hit all sub dirs, pause, and list attribs. Not sure how useful this would be to dump into a text file.

Wonders if soul with all his vast experience even knew he could do the dump to a text file. Or better yet dump to a port.:rolleyes:

Thanks for telling me what the commands listed i gave do.. I really didn\'t know :rolleyes:

ps. you don\'t need spaces in the commands either.

Is that somthing back from the dos days that would hold that command, or is that somthing they have added to the newer command sets?

Post by: Capcom on March 28, 2004, 05:55:50 PM: OK wise guy. How do you remotely change the dns on a machine running static?

Edit. That was the first thing that popped in my head that was one step above moron as you like to put it. Or we can get more into unix. Then MM would kill me on those.

Btw how is your google search going?

Edit again. It is a 2k xp and 2k3 server thing if that helps you in your google search. Every part via command line. I could give you somthing simple such as adding a user via command line to a domain, but any 6th grader knows that one.

Title: whats the dos command
Post by: Capcom on March 28, 2004, 06:06:11 PM: remotely is usually another pc.

With this simple command you can also do almost anything to their ip stack.

Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on March 28, 2004, 06:15:24 PM: probably a nslookup command.. to be honest i don\'t know. Although it wouldn\'t take me long to figure it out, without having to take a course to do it. ;) either way, networking isn\'t my strong point. Its my brothers. :)

From what i\'ve read. u can\'t do it remotely..
Title: whats the dos command
Post by: Capcom on March 28, 2004, 06:22:29 PM: nslookup is to verify dns for the most part. You can change some things, but it is not the best option.

I will be the first to admit I am rusty in some areas. I have not had to assemble a pc in ages. You on the other hand belittle every chance you get. To tell the truth I think you are a cocky comp-usa repairing fool. ;) cause we know the ;) makes it all a joke and you meant no harm.

Btw the answer I was looking for was the netsh command. I can give you syntax off the top of my head if you like?

Edit. This was a dos command. A new one but one still the same which you are the almighty master of. ;)

ps. I never said i\'m godly at dos commands. I just said theres no way you could screw up directory commands..

pss. NT based systems don\'t have dos. they emulate it.. so its not the same.

Post by: Capcom on March 28, 2004, 06:29:03 PM: Then replace comp-usa for another horrible chain in Australlia.

Edit: I do not care to get in a pissing match with you. If you want to split hairs though. There has not been a true dos in quite sometime. There will be further command line though. If a PDC goes down in 2k, and you are unabkle to bring it back up. You can promote your BDC very easily via command line. That is of course you are not bringing the old pdc back. Or the fact that xp has brought back the command line dos. Dos is easier to say rather than emulated dos. Which I would probably disagree with. The recovery console is probably more dos than windows based.

If I do pick somthing off from someone like you. My initial reaction is to thank them. You on the other hand want to act like a 3 year old. I have worked with truly great people, and have learned a great deal from each one of them. You would not get the first thing from them. You know it all, and not a sould can teach you a thing.

No you are the one that wants to call someone a moron if they have a different opinion. Pretty much any thread when someone disagrees with you.

"Wonders if soul with all his vast experience even knew he could do the dump to a text file. Or better yet dump to a port."

remark..

ps. I don\'t call people morons if they have a different opinion. I call people morons when they have all the facts in front of them. Yet continue to debate the facts. I\'m allowed to have my opinions. You want me to respect over peoples.. Try respecting mine.
