http://mickitblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/accessing-all-hives-from-remote.html

My blog is here to help solve issues I have encountered and solved, publish scripts I have written, and educate others in understanding areas that are not well covered. Accessing HKCU and HKCR from Remote Registry. Posted By: Mick Pletcher - 11:17 AM. This hive is located under HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SOFTWARE Classes. There is another way and that would be to remotely run a WMI query to find out who the current user is and the SID for that user. January 15, 2013 at 9:14 AM. July 11, 2013 at 4:39 PM. On the r...

https://clan8blog.wordpress.com/2015/06/01/adding-the-windows-security-shortcut-to-a-2012-server-start-menu

Everything you thought I already knew……. June 1, 2015. Adding the Windows Security shortcut to a 2012 server start menu. On windows 2003 and 2008 there was a menu item added in an RDP session, Windows Security. When you clicked this is was the same as clicking ATLR ALT DEL. You can add this menu item back using this process. Logon to a windows 2003 and create a shortcut for the Windows Security start menu item to the desktop. Make the copied file read only in the default profile (important! Leave a Reply...

How to send out password expiry emails | clan8blog

https://clan8blog.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/how-to-send-out-password-expiry-emails

Everything you thought I already knew……. August 6, 2015. How to send out password expiry emails. I use this script as an ARS scheduled task which allows me using techniques I’ve discussed in other posts to send parameters to the script. It should be pretty easy to convert this to a script that can just be run by any server in your environment as a scheduled task. I’ll try and logon later to solve this issue but right now as Marty McFly might say I’ve run outta time. ScriptVersion = “2.2”. Throw “FA...

Configuring SSL for PasswordManagerPro | clan8blog

https://clan8blog.wordpress.com/2015/04/23/configuring-ssl

Everything you thought I already knew……. April 23, 2015. Configuring SSL for PasswordManagerPro. The PasswordManagerPro web site lists the following FAQ on how to setup an SSL certificate that is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority. Https:/ www.manageengine.com/products/passwordmanagerpro/faq.html#ssl. I worked on this for quite a while getting quite frustrated with the poor instructions provided in the FAQ. Once solved, the solution is amazingly easy and I thought it worth blogging about it. Step ...

Customising an SQL query using variables and conditional statements | clan8blog

https://clan8blog.wordpress.com/2015/06/10/customining-an-sql-query-using-variables-and-conditional-statements

Everything you thought I already knew……. June 10, 2015. Customising an SQL query using variables and conditional statements. Having not blogged for a while I was feeling a little guilty that I’d not done anything worth blogging about. Yes I’ve also been busy but that’s not the real reason I’ve not been posting it;’s because I’ve not done anything of real interest, i.e. new to me, just the same old stuff I’m usually working on day to day. Lets say I have a query that shows me all the usernames in a table.

How to add a reason to the ActiveRoles Change History | clan8blog

https://clan8blog.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/how-to-add-a-reason-to-the-activeroles-change-history

Everything you thought I already knew……. July 30, 2015. How to add a reason to the ActiveRoles Change History. One thing I’d recommend you do is add a “reason” to the ARS change history when ever a policy applies some automated changes. When you look at the Change History in ARS for an automated update that was applied by a script policy how will you know “why” the attribute was changed unless you do this. Control @{OperationReason=”SeparationOfDuties v$Global:scriptVersion”}. July 24, 2016 at 4:40 pm.

Using a managed Unit for highlighting incorrectly set up accounts | clan8blog

https://clan8blog.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/using-a-managed-unit-for-higlighting-incorrectly-set-up-accounts

Everything you thought I already knew……. July 30, 2015. Using a managed Unit for highlighting incorrectly set up accounts. I’ve been using a script that I got from the Quest ( now Dell ) support site for dynamically building a query for a Managed Unit to show inactive accounts. The thought occurred to me that I could do this to highlight accounts that have not been set up properly. It’s also nice to have a quick way of seeing these anomalies. Here’s how to do it – using powershell🙂. EmployeeID=*)(employ...

Cleanup broken links between AD objects | clan8blog

https://clan8blog.wordpress.com/2015/07/16/cleanup-broken-links-between-ad-objects

Everything you thought I already knew……. July 16, 2015. Cleanup broken links between AD objects. A deleted link will show up in the CN=Deleted Objects container and be renamed as follows:. CN= ObjectOriginalName ADEL: GUID ,CN=Deleted Objects,DC=ad,DC=com. Note the ADEL in the name. I use this as an easy way to search for the deleted “linked” object in a clean up script. I use this LDAP filter to locate all of the accounts that have the links configured,. ScriptVersion = “1.0”. TaskDirObj.GetInfoEx(@...
