Network Management Software

Tuesday, 28th April 2009, 11:30

Aimed largely at organisations which receive discounted Windows Server licences (schools, charities, etc), I'm planning a suite of tools which will turn a standard Windows server into something more. I'm looking at writing a complete system here. The idea being:

    You install Windows Server
  • You install this system.
It will then take you through the process of creating a domain, and install various tools. A free mailserver, a free database system, webmail, web based administrative tools, etc, etc.

Still in the planning stage, but I'll post regular updates.

Using PHP and WMI

Thursday, 12th March 2009, 12:20

I use PHP on Windows quite extensively, and there's a lot of Windows-y stuff I feel I could do with it. One of the big things I would like to do is use WMI easily. So I've come up with the PHP-WMI class, and our first release for quite some time. Okay, it's a 0.1 release, but it's better than nothing ;)
