This script takes an IP address in CIDR format (192.168.33.55/24) and will return the Subnet ID, First Host IP Address, Last Host IP Address, and the Broadcast Address. It does require the ConvertTo-CmnIpAddress, and New-CmnLogEntry functions. All can be found on the Github site.

Converting 32 bit binary number to an IP address
This script will convert a 32-bit number into an IP address. This script is usually used by other TCP/IP scripts, not necessarily directly. This script also requires New-CmnLogEntry
Converting to CIDR address
This script takes a standard IP address/Subnet Mask input in dotted decimal notation and returns the equivalent CIDR address. So, 192.168.25.33 255.255.255.0 returns 192.168.25.33/24. It validates input and verifies the subnet mask is valid. This script requires New-CmnLogEntry. These scripts can be found in my GitHub repository.

Module Rewrite, the beginning

Remove Unreferenced packages from Distribution Points
The story Our distribution points were getting pretty full, and I wanted to see if I could clean them up before requesting more disk space. I wanted to go out and make sure we remove any packages that were on our DP’s and DP Groups that were not referenced by a task sequence or had … Read more
New-LogEntry Snippets
If you liked my previous post, Function to create logs that CMTrace can read and you use the ISE as your editor, I’ve posted a script in my BitBucket link to create three snippets to add that function when you need it.
Function to create logs that CMTrace can read
I like to log things when I code, especially while debugging. I also like how I can watch logs real time with CMTrace, so I wrote a function that writes out the log entries in a format CMTrace can read. To use it, at the beginning of the script you are writing, these are the parameters to add for logging.
