@Kelly said in Use Powershell to audit Windows service accounts:

Unless you're wanting to use Powershell for a learning experience you might look at something like this: http://www.cjwdev.com/Software/ServiceCredMan/Info.html. If you still want to use the Powershell route this might be a good way to check the success of your script.

That looks like it will do exactly what we want... thanks for the link.

Not yet.

The first time it is used, we have to manually type the domain\localadmin password.

After that it is stored in credential manager.

@Grey said in GPO for compatibility mode:

A previous admin created a gpo to alter and add an entry under the hive HKEY_CURRENT_USER in Key path Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Ranges\Range66 which forces a single entry for compatibility mode. I've spent a lot of time testing and, while the setting is to apply once and not again, it doesn't seem to allow a user to add more sites to compatibility mode and keep that addition after a reboot.

Has anyone successfully created a GPO for IE11 to enable CM for users to add items, while also pushing a list of our own? Is there a best method around for achieving this goal?

I have not, I only keep adding it through GPO (In the medical field which they have many sites as this).

Ditto - Just have to keep adding them via GPO. So glad we barely use IE 11 anymore.

@JaredBusch said in How to adminstrate a handful of Windows workstations?:

Everytime I want to do something, I would make it a powershell script and save it.

With remote powershell enabled on all workstations, it should be fairly effortless to maintain.

Some individual tasks might take more time than it seems worth at first to figure out how to script it, but int he long run it will be the best solution.

So you're saying I should keep the workstations as they are, but administer them as a group by using remote powershell?

Yes. For example, somewhere on here, I have a Poweshell script posted that let's you install printers.

Edit: Here is that post

@dyasny said in Virt-Manager on multiple pc's:

if you have an ovirt-engine somewhere central, that can reach to all the other locations, you can create a datacentre per location and place standalone hosts in there, using local storage.

Never thought about that. That's a great idea.

Which anti-cheat software is it? I must have missed it in the article.

I figured it was 3rd party. Just wondering if it is from the games that I play.

@BRRABill said in Can You Uninstall OneDrive from Windows 10:

Ah I remember the early days when I would get in so much trouble for using terms like Onedrive.

ONly when you were talking about something other than OneDrive 😉

Long file names can be a serious pain... for copy and backup reasons.

I recall a NTG client that used a long name for the directories,.. and it made updating nearly impossible Should follow the KISS method... Directory names don't need to be 120 characters long,.. and four deep.

It's not checked. However, some properties within are. But not all of it. It's telling you it's conditional. Still pointless though IMO.

Too bad it is KVM only right now. Not that KVM is bad, it's just early. The have LXC coming "soon" and that will be really awesome. I want VDI on LXC so that we can do it faster and on top of Scale HC3.

i wanted an easier way to copy files to multiple folders and have the folder hierarchy duplicated within parent folders, in other words I wanted to see more stuff in more places all at once.

Q-Dir works pretty well and it seems to work accurately with Onedrive which is a bonus, not all of them do, actually Q-Dir is the only one I've found that can display Onedrive statuses or statii for files and folders.

I like to know if any other alternatives have the Onedrive status functionality.

@scottalanmiller said in Yet another Communication issue....:

When troubleshooting on the network, always start at the bottom and work up.

Start with a ping to the IP (not the hostname.)
Then ping the hostname.
Then nslookup the hostname.

These basic steps tell you what is working and what isn't. Don't hop around, use progressive testing and you'll get to answers really quickly.

That's good advice,
We usually start with Aloha based issues such as the control service running on Server, any files telling it to stop, that sort of thing.
Then we move to Windows/networking.

If you know other things are working, you can move up the "stack" to where you can guarantee success. Like if you are transferring files, you know ping works.

User is a local admin, but that does not solve the issue.

When when logged in as a local admin - processes don't run with higher privileges. Did you try doing a run as for this process? While UAC was enabled?

"Run as" worked, but wasn't always called. It's not a universal option, that was apparently the problem.

You can right click the shortcut for the app and check the box to make it run that way.

Only some apps. That's why I could test with Notepad.

huh? what app can you not right click and check the box to always run as admin?

You can rename the files obviously, but you can't import them if you change the name it seems.

actually...maybe I cant import because it's already listed.

Copy it and change the name, then reload Remmina. You'll now see a copy of the same thing. Go back and delete the original in the file system and reload Remmina again. Original disappears.

Tells me that one should be able to simply dump the connection configs on the minions, tighten down the permission to read only for the user and let them operate.

@scottalanmiller lol

Its actually Upload default server core, when the terminal has gotten stuck for me, I have cleared the core and then upload the default server core to get it to work again properly without rebooting the machine.

Clearing the core gets only General, Events and Console tabs and loading the default loads all the rest.

Maybe it helps in this case as well.
