Find members of a local group

We needed a list of all local admins in the domain. I found some code somewhere and adjusted it to my personal needs.

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

$date = (get-date).AddDays(-35)
$list = (Get-ADComputer -Filter {(OperatingSystem -like "*Server*") -and (PasswordLastSet -ge $Date)} ).Name

$Result = @()

foreach($server in $list){

$computer = [ADSI](”WinNT://” + $server + “,computer”)
$Group = $computer.psbase.children.find(”Administrators”)

function getAdmins

{$members = $Group.psbase.invoke(”Members”) | %{$_.GetType().InvokeMember(”Adspath”, ‘GetProperty’, $null, $_, $null)}
$members}

$Result += $server
$Result += ( getAdmins )
$Result += " "
}
$Result | ac c:\LocalAdmins.csv

Script to check when a XenApp server is set to prohibit logons

It is hard to find out who set a server to Prohibit logons in XenApp. I had some spare time to make a oneliner for the service desk to search the eventlog for any records matching the specifics. The Logon process is run by the ImaService. When you know when to server is set to prohibit logon, you may find the administrator.

$List2 =@() ;$load = (qfarm /load) ;write-host $Load[1];Write-Host $load[2]; Foreach ($item in $load){If ($Item -match "ProhibitLogons"){Write-host $item;$Item2 = $item -split " " ;$item2 = $item2[0] ; $List2 += $Item2}} ;$Date = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1) ; Foreach ($item in $list2){Get-EventLog -LogName Application -after $Date -ComputerName $item -InstanceId 1073751835 | ? {$_.Message -match "Prohibit"} | Select TimeGenerated,MachineName}

Or if you feel more comfortable having a script you can do the following:

$List2 =@() 
$load = (qfarm /load) 
write-host $Load[1]
Write-Host $load[2]
Foreach ($item in $load){If ($Item -match "ProhibitLogons"){
Write-host $item
$Item2 = $item -split " " 
$item2 = $item2[0] 
$List2 += $Item2}} 
$Date = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1) 
Foreach ($item in $list2){
Get-EventLog -LogName Application -after $Date -ComputerName $item -InstanceId 1073751835 | ? {$_.Message -match "Prohibit"} | Select TimeGenerated,MachineName}

This “Script” runs a qfarm /load. Next presenting the users with a table from qfarm. It only lists server that are set to prohibitlogons. It splits the name from the rest and adds that to a array. The date is queried minus one day. You can change that to more or less. Next the Eventlog of the XenApp server is queried for a matching record. You can also set $_.EventID -match “10011” for the matching eventID. At the last step there’s a select-object for the TimeGenerated and MachineName

Renaming files and moving it to a different location

An OCE printer can only scan files to a FTP location with one name. There are no unique attributes that the Multifuctional printer can add to a file. This results in files being overwritten if not renamed immediately after being transferred. I’ve written a little script that is run every 5 seconds via Task Scheduler. This script renames files in a  unique format and then moves the file to some place else.

$Folder = "C:\Inetpub\FTProot\"
$Destination = "\\Ergensopdebozewereld"
$Applytime = (Get-Date).AddSeconds(-20)
$Content = @(gci $Folder | where {$_.LastWriteTime -lt $Applytime -and $_.PSIsContainer -eq $False})
Foreach ($item in $Content){$TEMP = $Item.LastWriteTime
$Time = Get-Date $TEMP -Format yyyyMMdd_HHmmss
$Name = $item.name.replace(".tif","")
Rename-Item -Path $Item.fullname -NewName "$Name_$Time.tif"
$Item = GI "$Folder\$Name_$Time.tif"
Move-Item -Path $Item -Destination $Destination -Force}

Suprise woman with days anniversary

Powershell can calculate basically everything. If you want the suprise someone with a number of days anniversary you can run the following code:

#Current date
$1 = get-date
#Old date
$2 = get-date 31/12/2009

($1 - $2).days

<#Something is returned. You can calculate to difference eq:
PS > 1561

Just run this code. It is as simple as a calculator
2000 - 1561
PS>439
#>

$1.AddDays(439)
