Ise will also let you run the script and then interact with any variables used in it.

I'd imagine you can pipe Get-Mailbox to it and do it that way to wipe out everyone's photos, or you could probably pipe something from AD to it. I'd expect the first one to be the best one to try though.

Find specific files and change ownership and permissions
halbaradkenafin replied to rpettit's topic in Scripts
What permissions do you need to set? A quick bit of powershell code that will find all versions of Favourites would be: Get-ChildItem -Path "\\Server\Sharedfolder" -Recurse -Directory | Where {$_.Name -eq "Favorites"} | Select FullName Depending on what permissions you want to set it can then be pretty easily modified to take ownership and add the permissions. -
Need to add -Append on to that as it will overwrite the csv file each time it writes to it.

I've got 3, including the newer model b 2 or whatever its called. Used a model A as part of uni work for a robot controlled by Web interface but other than that I've not used any of them. Keep planning to make a media device or something but then I bought a firetv stick so have even less reason for it now.

Just like some kids think all staff live at school, therefore anything IT do is by magic and during holidays that's doubly true.

Now imagine losing the keys/combinations to most/all of those projectors. I've had to replace ~40 projectors like that and luckily for us they'd been up long enough that the glue holding the cable bracket things to the projector was starting to fail so some work with a screwdriver was enough to get it off. Still a pain of a job.

I've got every Monday and Tuesday off, I don't usually have plans to go anywhere so long weekends and short weeks is great. It does make the first week or two back a pain to readjust but it's worth it.

As long as you're function is using something (Write-output is my go to cmdlet) to return an object containing that data then it should work fine.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll have to remember to pack light clothes, I keep forgetting not everywhere gets the lovely cold and rainy summers we do.

Hi All I'm considering taking a long weekend (or possibly week) in a German city towards the end of August. I've narrowed it down to Berlin, Hamburg or Munich (based on recommendations from colleagues and friends), just looking for more opinions. I'd mostly be doing Touristy things, sample the local foods and drinks (probably eat my weight in wurst) and try out the night life, probably interspersed with talking to lots of people and failing to speak German very well. So I'm looking for suggestions on which of those three to go to and reasons why.

Bought myself a Fire TV stick, I stream netflix to my laptop usually and £20 to move it to my bigger TV instead seems like a good deal along with the other services available. Just need to cancel my TV license when I move house as I don't watch it anyway.
-
I wasn't sure that would work, gave it a try and it does. Shame that after import tax it's only saving me about £20. Might still go for it but I'll have to consider it move carefully than when it was ~£60 saving.

Any ideas why the prime deals work fine on the UK site but when I sign in on the US site it's asking me to sign up for Prime again. Saw a pretty good deal on a 512GB SSD that I wanted to grab on the US site but not looking like that will happen.

I don't think there is currently anything to directly query the DFS namespace, I'd imagine it's available as a property of something else though. I don't have DFS set up here to play around with and try things out (should really fire up a test environment that I can just enable and disable this sort of thing with), if it's not getting native support till PS v5 then you might be out of luck for an easy solution. The next easiest solution though would be to have it as a parameter to your user creation script or specified in the csv file.

Active Directory - User Account Management
halbaradkenafin replied to MrFrostmaul's topic in How do you do....it?
If the security groups are always the same for each user of a particular type, students in year 7 for example may always be in a generic all students and a year 7 group, then you can just use Add-ADGroupMember -Group -Members as part of the above powershell script and it will do that for you, I usually add start-sleep -s 5 between the new-aduser and anything using that account so it's got time to actually be created on the DC and begin replication. -
If you "upgraded" during the preview window from a valid Win 7 or 8 install then you'll still get a free version of 10 with the normal license, and the associated iso/license key for reinstall.

Facebook's new chief security officer wants to set a date to kill Flash
halbaradkenafin replied to Arthur's topic in IT News
Because to the normal end user, who wasn't aware of these tweets or whatever pressure Facebook and others put on Adobe (or browser developers), then it looks like it was actually adobe/google/someone else and not Facebook who caused Facebook to be unable to support Flash and therefore all those lovely games they have on their site stop working. It's a pretty good PR move from all perspectives, everyone who knows anything about Flash hates it so it gets praise from them for a good move by Facebook and anyone who doesn't know about Flash will believe the inevitable "Adobe stopped Flash due to security issues so we're not supporting it now, sorry" story that Facebook brings out. -
I do it by monthly groups as well. It makes it much easier to manage and work out which updates are new. I do a Windows 7 group in general though and put both x86 and x64 together but that's because we've only got 3 x64 machines on the network so no need for their own collection. I also deploy the updates to a small group of PCs used by trusted staff, warn them in advance that the next lot of updates are going out and to report any problems. After a few days of regular use I push out the updates to the rest of the network, scheduled to install over the nearest weekend.

halbaradkenafin replied to Arthur's topic in IT News
As glorious as it will be on the day this happens (and it will eventually happen, hopefully in the next few years) I know the victory will be hollow as there will still be some poorly designed education software sitting on all our networks that requires it to work. I'd hope that the browsers decide to just skip Adobe and state a date they'll stop supporting Flash, and for companies like Microsoft and Apple release updates to all their browsers that stops it working. Google have done it with NPAPI support so why not Flash. -
The other option for Office 2013 updates is to drop the msp files into the Updates folder in the Office folder. It will run any msp files in there as part of the install, this is also where the config file for install options goes so I generally rename it to 1 config.msp or something so it is the first one ran.

Possibly this post on this very forum? I'm sure I've seen similar ones recently as well, either on Reddit or Spiceworks.
