A quick post on behalf of my colleague, 365Dude, who’s presenting a session at this year’s Experts Live 2015.
He still has 3 tickets available in case someone is interested in going to this year’s convention, November 19th. Be sure to drop him an e-mail if you’re interested in going!
And even if you’re not interested in an Office 365 session, have a look at the program to see what might else be of your interest!
Have you ever created a new user or computer object, but you’re unable to find them in the Default Computers/Users container? Perhaps someone moved the default location to another Organizational Unit [i.e. to make sure GPO’s applied correctly] .
In this case a quick and simple script will check which containers are configured for this task and it will check if they’re using default values or not.
Now that I have my Lab configured and set up to accept remoting from my Client machine, I want to set up a small Hyper-V lab onto this Host.
Since my goal is to manage as much as possible through PowerShell, my current setup will run into the following problem: I can remote into my lab host, but due to single-hop remoting, it is not recommended to daisy chain sessions.
In case you DO want this, you can look at the following articles that will give you more insight on multihop remoting. A small insight on what is required:
Today I ran into something simple….but I just wanted to get it solved through PowerShell and make the solution re-usable.
We had found a machine in Active Directory which didn’t turn up in the physical inventory check… And worse of all, the machine was active!
This script simply checks if machines with a specific name [or in a specific OU] is online at the moment. If it’s online, it will try and figure out who’s actually logged on to the machine.
A customer required the inventory of product keys for various products on all network systems. I had used a tool which scanned all machines and nicely produced a .csv file for each machine it had scanned.
Ideally I wanted to have a single .csv file which I could then filter against, either using Excel or PowerShell.
Check the examples notes on how to use the function.
At my job I tend to have quiet and busy periods, just like everyone else.
At some times I even have very busy periods… like now. Because of that I tend to not have time or motivation to do any blogging, but that doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything productive.
Because of that I thought “why not just share the work I’m creating?”.
Then it hit me..
