PING

Test a network connection - if successful, ping returns the ip address.

Syntax
      PING [options] destination_host

Options
    -w timeout     Timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply.
    -i TTL         Time To Live.
    -v TOS         Type Of Service.
    -a             Resolve addresses to hostnames.
    -n count       Number of echo requests to send.
    -t             Ping the destination host until interrupted.
    -l size        Send buffer size.
    -f             Set Don't Fragment flag in packet.
    -r count       Record route for count hops.
    -s count       Timestamp for count hops.
    -j host_list   Loose source route along host_list.
    -k host_list   Strict source route along host_list.
destination_host  The name of the remote host

A response of "Request timed out" means there was no response to the ping attempt in the default time period of one second.
If the latency of the response is more than one second. Use the -w option on the ping command to increase the time-out. For example, to allow responses within five seconds, use ping -w 5000.

A successful PING does NOT always return an %errorlevel% == 0
Therefore to reliably detect a successful ping - pipe the output into FIND and look for the text "TTL" 

Note that "Reply" in the output of PING does not always indicate a positive response. You may receive a message from a router such as: Reply from 192.168.1.254: Destination Net Unreachable.

Four steps to test an IP connection with ping: 

1) Ping the loopback address to verify that TCP/IP is installed and configured correctly on the local computer.
PING 127.0.0.1

2) Ping the IP address of the local computer to verify that it was added to the network correctly.
PING IP_address_of_local_host 

3) Ping the IP address of the default gateway to verify that the default gateway is functioning and that you can communicate with a local host on the local network.
PING IP_address_of_default_gateway 
4) Ping the IP address of a remote host to verify that you can communicate through a router.
PING IP_address_of_remote_host

Examples

PING -n 1 -w 7500 Server_06

PING -w 7500 MyHost |find "TTL=" && ECHO MyHost found

PING -w 7500 MyHost |find "TTL=" || ECHO MyHost not found

PING -n 5 -w 7500 www.microsoft.com

PING -n 5 -w 7500 microsoft.com

Script to monitor your connection to a website (example.com) every 15 seconds:

@Echo off
Echo Logging ping responses, press CTRL-C to stop
:start
 Ping -n 1 example.com | find "TTL=" >>c:\pingtest.txt
 Echo .
 Ping -n 16 127.0.0.1>nul
goto start

The script above can be used to test an Internet connection, just replace example.com with your ISP's Default Gateway IP address. This represents the first physical device on the ISP's side of your connection. You can find the Default Gateway on your router status screen.
Note: some ISP’s or network admins may not appreciate you performing frequent or continual pings to their server, try not to overdo it!

PING is named after the sound that a sonar makes.

Ping times below 10 milliseconds often have low accuracy. A time of 10 milliseconds is roughly equal to a distance of 930 Miles, travelling a straight line route at the speed of light.

“And now I see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine.” - William Wordsworth, (She Was a Phantom of Delight)

WET (Windows Easy Transfer Tool)

Migrating User Settings and Data by Using WET

WET is the recommended tool for scenarios in which you have only a few computers to migrate. You can decide what to transfer and then select the transfer method to use. You can use WET to transfer files and folders, e-mail settings, contacts and messages, application settings, user accounts and settings, Internet settings, and Favorites.
If your source computer is running Windows 7, you can find WET in the System Tools program group folder. If your computer is running Windows XP or Windows Vista, WET can be obtained from a Windows 7 product DVD or from any computer that is running Windows 7.
Windows Vista has an older version of WET, and while you can still use Windows Vista WET to migrate user state to Windows 7, you may want to use the latest functionality of Windows 7 WET. Obtain WET from Windows 7 product DVD or from any computer that is running Windows 7. Windows 7 WET includes a new file explorer that enables you to select exactly which files to copy to your new PC.
In case Windows finds a file or setting that it cannot work with, Windows 7 WET does not allow the transfer to hang. It will complete the transfer and give you a full report of anything that fails to migrate.
If the source computer is running Windows 7, you can skip the following procedure of storing the Windows 7 WET files to be used on the source computer.
Store Windows 7 WET Files on the Source Computer
To store Windows 7 WET files to be used on the source computer that does not have WET, start WET on the destination computer, and perform the following steps:

1. Close all active programs.
2. Click Start.
3. Point to All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then Windows Easy Transfer.
4. On the Windows Easy Transfer page, click Next.
5. Select the method you want to use to transfer files and settings from your source computer.
6. Click This is my new computer.
7. Click I need to install it now.
8. Select the destination media where you want to store the Windows Easy Transfer wizard files. You can store the wizard files to an external hard drive or network drive, or you can store them on a USB flash drive. A Browse for Folder window opens.
9. Type the path and the folder name in which you want to store the Windows Easy Transfer wizard files, and then click Next.

You must now start your source computer to install WET.
Migrate Files and Settings from the Source Computer to the Destination Computer
You can select one of the three methods to transfer files and settings:

• Use an Easy Transfer Cable.
• Use a network connection.
• Use removable media such as a USB flash drive or an external hard disk.

Transfer Files and Settings by Using a Network

1. Launch Windows Easy Transfer on the computer from which you want to migrate settings and files by browsing to the removable media or network drive containing the wizard files and then double-clicking migestup.exe. The program may also start automatically when you insert the removable media. Note: If your computer already has WET, you can run it from the System Tools program group folder.
2. Click Next.
3. Click A network. Note: Both computers must support the transfer method you choose. For example, both computers must be connected to the same network.
4. Click This is my old computer. WET creates a unique WET key, which is used to link the source and destination computer.
5. Follow the steps to enter the WET key on your destination computer to allow the network connection.
6. On your destination computer, after entering the WET key, click Next. A connection is established and WET checks for updates and compatibility.
7. Click Transfer to transfer all files and settings. You can also determine which files must be migrated by selecting only the user profiles you want to transfer or by clicking Customize.
8. Click Close after WET has completed the migration of files and settings to the destination computer.

Configuring Computer Policy to Allow Non-Administrators to Install Specific Device Setup Classes

EXERCISE 1: Configuring Computer Policy to Allow Non-Administrators to Install Specific Device Setup Classes

This exercise permits a non-administrative user to install any imaging device (such as a webcam) that has a signed driver on the Canberra computer. You first determine the GUID of the Imaging Devices setup class and then configure computer policy to permit non-administrators to install this class of device. The exercise requires that at least one device of that setup class is installed on your computer. If not, use another setup class. You need to know the procedure—the actual device setup class you choose is not important. To permit non-administrators to install a specific type of hardware device, perform the following procedure:

1. Log on to the Canberra computer with the Kim_Akers account.
2. If the Don Hall non-administrator (ordinary user) account does not already exist, create it.
3. Open Device Manager.
4. Expand Imaging Devices in the Device Manager tree. Select a device (such as a webcam).
5. Right-click the device and choose Properties.
6. On the Details tab, in the Property list, click Device Class Guid, as shown in Figure 4-23.
   
   Figure 4-23: Determining a device class GUID
7. The GUID is displayed, as shown in Figure 4-24. Right-click the GUID and choose Copy. Paste the GUID into Microsoft Notepad so you do not lose it.
   
   Figure 4-24: Monitor device type GUID
8. Click Start. Enter mmc gpedit.msc in the Start Search box and press Enter. This starts Local Group Policy Object Editor.
9. In Local Group Policy Object Editor, under Local Computer Policy, double-click Computer Configuration, double-click Administrative Templates, double-click System, and select Driver Installation.
10. In the details pane, double-click Allow Non-Administrators To Install Drivers For These Device Setup Classes, as shown in Figure 4-25.
