OUR SECOND BOOK IS OUT IN THE BOOKSTORES!
WIN32 PERL SCRIPTING: ADMINISTRATOR'S HANDBOOK



IN THIS EXCELLENT BOOK AUTHOR DAVE ROTH SHOWS HOW TO TAME SOME OF THE MORE
TEDIOUS PROBLEMS OF WIN32 ADMINISTRATION.

His weapon of choice: Perl, of course. Based on the author's experience, the
book details philosophies and strategies relating to how administrators can
increase productivity without having to manually perform tasks or purchase
costly software. The result: remarkable savings in administration time and cost.
Administrators will appreciate the ready-to-run scripts that automate mundane
and repetitive tasks, achieving their goals exponentially faster than previously
possible. Managers will marvel over the cost savings in both software and
administrative manpower.



This book complements our first one, Win32 Perl Programming: The Standard
Extensions. Where the Standard Extensions book details how to use different
Win32 Perl extensions, the Administrator's Handbook addresses different
administrative tasks providing a wide spectrum of scripts. The distinctive
strength of the Administrator's Handbook lies in demonstrating how to use Perl
creatively to resolve most any administrative task. The strategies discussed
will help administrators advance the capabilities and customize the book's
scripts according to their specific needs. This volume covers topics that will:
 


Manage user privileges Disable and enable user accounts in bulk Manage processes
on remote machines Walk through an IIS web site Create Win32 services using Perl
Make effective use of user logon scripts
...just to name a few things.



The book is available in bookstores. You can also order it now through
Amazon.com.
We have more information on Win32 Perl Scripting: Administrator's Handbook.

THE ~HOME ISAPI FILTER
 

UNIX administrators can now rejoice!
Any UNIX administrator can tell you that users can access their home directories
by using the tilde (~) character. This functionality does not exist on NT, until
now.

The ~Home ISAPI Filter allows user directories to be accessed by prefixing a
user account with a ~ (or any other) token. The filter is totally configurable
and can map a user's home directory, profile directory, or some other directory.
With caching and cross domain support this ISAPI filter is a perfect compliment
to NT's IIS web server.

If you are transitioning from UNIX to NT you owe it to yourself to check this
out:
More info is on the ~Home ISAPI Filter page.


THE ROTH CONSULTING
PERL SCRIPT REPOSITORY

Our Perl Script Repository is a place to go when you are in need of a Perl
script. You may not find the perfect script that fits your needs however it may
be the just place to peruse scripts that can get you started.

The repository is a place for Perl coders to submit scripts that have served
them well so that others can benefit from them. It also provides a place for
good programmers to be discovered. Each script is linked to its author's brief
biography. This is useful when looking for a programmer to contract with.

OUR PRESENTATIONS


LISA-NT CONFERENCE

1999

In July, 1999, Dave Roth presented a white paper at the LISA-NT Conference in
Seattle, Washington. The paper outlines a strategy for implementing a network
management system using off-the-shelf products such as Perl. This low cost
infrastructure is the equivalent to a poor-man's SMS at only a fraction of the
cost of implementing Microsoft's Systems Management Server or other commercial
SMS products.
The white paper A Networked Machine Management System is available online as is
the PowerPoint presentation.


ANNUAL O'REILLY PERL CONFERENCES

1997

A slide show on Win32::ODBC that was presented at the First Annual Perl
Conference in 1997 is available in both the PowerPoint version and in an online
version.

At the 3rd Annual Perl Conference in Monterey, CA, Dave Roth gave a presentation
on using Win32::OLE and Win32::ODBC called OLE and ODBC: Taming The

The OLE session The ODBC session



2000

At the 4th Annual Perl Conference in Monterey, CA, Dave Roth gave a presentation
on using Win32::OLE called Exploiting Perl on Windows with OLE/COM. This was a
