Part 4 Scripting and Virtualization (due Week 7)Objectives1. .docxkarlhennesey
Part 4: Scripting and Virtualization (due Week 7)Objectives
1. To learn scripting on Windows and Linux
2. To add virtualization with a Linux distributionStepsPart 1—Windows Scripting
Basic Script: Scripting is useful for small programming projects or quick tasks. Often, these programs are short and meant for small problems. Unlike compiled programming languages, scripting languages are generally interpreted. Batch files or scripts are created to automate tasks and may contain several commands in one file. Scripts can be created in Notepad. These are short files that run each command in sequence at file execution. The windows command-line interface can be used to run scripts.
Below are some commands.
Echo = Displays a message in the batch file
Echo. displays a blank line
@command turns off the display of the current command
@echo off = does not echo back text
cls = clears your screen
:: = Adds comments to your code; this line will not be displayed
Start = used to start a windows application
Creating a Basic Script
cls
@echo off
::Your Name
echo "Creating a data dump file"
ipconfig /all > C:\Scripts\config_info.txt
echo end of script
Open Notepad by going to Start-> All Programs -> Accessories-> Notepad.
Type the above script into Notepad.
Create a directory named Scripts on the C:\ drive. Save this file in the C:\Scripts folder as myscript.cmd.
Do not close your Notepad file. To run, open a command prompt by typing cmd in the Search Programs and Files box when you click the Start button or search for cmd.
Change directory to the C:\Scripts folder by typing the following.
cd c:\Scripts
Then type in the following.
myscript.cmd
The script should run and will create a file.
Use the dir command to see what files are created.
Keep both the Notepad file and the command prompt open for the next step.
You can also shut down a computer from a script. This is helpful for remote shutdown in a networking situation. Add the following commands to your script and save it in Notepad. (Note: The ping command, though normally used for networking, here waits 4 seconds.)
shutdown /s /t 60 /c "Local shutdown in 1 minute!"
ping -w 1000 0.0.0.0 > nul
shutdown /a
echo "Shutdown has been aborted"
Click back to the command prompt.
Type in myscript.cmd to run the script.
You should see the script attempt to shut down, then abort the shutdown.
Keep both your Notepad and command prompt open.
Environment variables are built-in system variables available for all Windows processes describing users, paths, and so on.
Some common environment variables are as follows.
%PATH% = contains a list of directories with executable files, separated by semicolons. To add a path:
SET PATH = %PATH%;C:\Windows\Eclipse
%DATE% and %TIME% = current date and time
%RANDOM% = returns a random number between 0 and 32767
%WINDIR% = points to the windows directory C:\Windows
%PATHEXT% = displays executable file extensions ie .com, .exe, .bat, .cmd, .vbs, .vbe, ...
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

Ans:
Let me start with SMB:
SMB Stands for Server Message Blocker. It is application-layer network protocol and mainly used for
providing shared access to files, printers, serial ports, and miscellaneous communications between
nodes on a network. It also provides an authenticated inter-process communication mechanism. Most
usage of SMB involves computers running Microsoft Windows, where it was known as "Microsoft
Windows Network" before the subsequent introduction of Active Directory. Corresponding Windows
services are the "Server Service" (for the server component) and "Workstation Service" (for the client
component).
Second thing is AFB(Apple Filing Protocol)
The Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), formerly AppleTalk Filing Protocol, is a proprietary network protocol
that offers file services for Mac OS X and original Mac OS. In Mac OS X, AFP is one of several file services
supported including Server Message Block (SMB), Network File System (NFS), File Transfer Protocol
(FTP), and WebDAV. AFP currently supports Unicode file names, POSIX and access control list
permissions, resource forks, named extended attributes, and advanced file locking. In Mac OS 9 and
earlier, AFP was the primary protocol for file services.
1- Open Finder
17. 2- Use this shortcut Control +K or Go-> Connect to Server
3- Enter server address of the resource that you wish to start Example smb://www.nameof
domain.com/ foldername Example: I have entered IP of my Windows computer

computer)

sidebar of Finder
23. Starting the mac in 64 bit mode

If your Mac uses the 64-bit kernel by defualt, you can start up with the 32-bit kernel by holding
the 3 and 2 keys during startup.
Your Mac will revert to the default kernel the next time you reboot it.(Although this is not working on
VMware)

Windows users are familiar with Registry and whenever they install an application, application
get registered in Registry. The Windows Registry is a hierarchical database that stores
configuration settings and options on Microsoft Windows operating systems. It contains
settings for low-level operating system components as well as the applications running on the
platform: the kernel, device drivers, services, SAM, user interface and third party applications
all make use of the registry. The registry also provides a means to access counters for profiling
system performance.
When Windows user comes to use Mac. He starts searching the same in Mac. In Mac we can
find this from
Library->Preference
25. Here we can get the configuration information of all installed application
Application Support folder in Library acts as Program Data of Windows.
