Import .reg files remotely with PowerShell and PSSession

mike — Thu, 27 Jul 2017 17:30:52 +0000

Been into PowerShell and Automation for a while now.

#Creating PSCredential object Snippit
$User = “M-toTheI’ke”
$File = “\\Contra2\D$\Powershell\Password\Password.txt”
$MyCredential= New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential `
-ArgumentList $User, (Get-Content $File | ConvertTo-SecureString)

cls
#Build Session
$servers = Get-Content “c:\Powershell\Servers.txt”

Location of Registry file to import. Notice “.reg”
$RegFile = “\\Contra2\D$\Player2.reg”

foreach ($server in $servers)
{

<#Building a session for remote servers based on the content of the servers.txt #>
$Session = New-PSSession -computername $server -credential $MyCredential

<#Taking file from hosted location of file and forcing it to the built session #>
Copy-Item -Path “$RegFile” -Destination “C:\Utils\” -force -ToSession ` $session

#Validate File exists **Code here** NOT DONE

#Command to run the regedit to import the newly copied player2.reg
Invoke-Command -session $session -ScriptBlock {regedit /i /s C:\Utils\player2.reg}
}

Many ways to skin this but I can now use this to multiple remote servers as long as the WINRM port and services will accept the session remotely.

New IIS Preview

mike — Tue, 11 Oct 2016 20:47:09 +0000

I have a long love hate relationship with IIS and its iterations.

That said this looks awesome.

I setup a test that took like 5 min to setup. It does require an access token (that does expire).

More to come obviously.

Windows: Enable generation of 8.3 names

Windows: Enable generation of 8.3 NamesMichls Tech Blog

in newer Versios of Windows the generation of the DOS Style 8.3 names is disabled by default.

If you need this “feature” you can either enabled it globally on a system or on a per volumes basis.

Check the current state
D:\> fsutil.exe 8dot3name query The registry state is: 2 (Per volume setting - the default). D:\> fsutil.exe 8dot3name query D: The volume state is: 1 (8dot3 name creation is disabled). The registry state is: 2 (Per volume setting - the default).

Based on the above two settings, 8dot3 name creation is disabled on D:

To enable it for all volumes
D:\> fsutil 8dot3name set 0

Or for a specific volume
D:\> fsutil 8dot3name set D: 0

and to disable it
D:\> fsutil 8dot3name set D: 1

Scripting for user info

mike — Tue, 03 May 2016 20:17:54 +0000

Some times out of the blue. Mostly in haste to see if an account has been changed or locked.

I usually use a couple of things.

$User = Read-Host 'User' Get-ADUser -Identity $User -Properties * |ft Name,PasswordLastSet,PasswordNeverExpires,PasswordExpired,PasswordNotRequired

Easy 2 lines of code in Powershell.

@echo off title User password state check tool - Max color 0A :start Set /p name=Hello! Please input a username: cls echo This is what i managed to find... net user %name% /domain | FIND /I "Full Name" net user %name% /domain | FIND /I "Password last set" net user %name% /domain | FIND /I "Password expires" net user %name% /domain | FIND /I "Account expires" echo - Press ENTER to try another username - pause >nul cls goto start

15 Lines in VB script.

RDP Local login

mike — Tue, 03 May 2016 20:17:54 +0000

So I have been humbled yet again.

I always have RDP or Remote Desktop using various applications. I have always been asked to put credentials in. <-duh!

So there is all these interesting and I am sure noted somewhere on a technet or msdn page how to use parameters to log in.

Domain login is simple. AD pushes your permissions to the domain servers and gives you rights to mess a good server up.

Pushing Local to your machine. Usually means your gonna do a “\”and account that adds your localhost not the machine that your going to remote name.

Then there is tell remote desktop to use the Name or IP of the other machine provided it can be found in a dns structure. or “.\”

However what happens when those dont work? And you need to login but RDP client is misbehaving? try:

$computer\

Problem is AV likes to block good and bad stuff. Here is microsoft’s exclusion list:
