Work has been pretty busy, and is likely to be for the foreseeable future!

One of the things I’ve been meaning to do is create a script to telnet to my various network devices and download the configuration as a poor man’s backup. Well, recently this post came across Spiceworks and I felt it was time to take a deeper look at how to do this.

There are about a hundred different scripts out there to get user information, and I wanted to add a new one to the list. The “quirk” or difference for this one is that I pull in information from Spiceworks. The idea is you will run this script to get a “snapshot” of a user at that time.
