Good article, Bill. I tried the script and it works for me. For those, who need to perform registry export, editing tasks, including registry management on remote PCs, I recommend also to take a look on the following useful utilities: Free EMCO Remote Registry Exporter [http://emcosoftware.com/remote-registry-exporter] that is able to export registry data from remote PCs. EMCO Remote Registry Merge [http://emcosoftware.com/remote-registry-merge] that is able to export/modify data remotely. Both tools can work with multiple remote PCs and include scheduling functionality. ]]>thorarinnWed, 11 Apr 2012 06:21:24 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/scripting/searching-registry-powershell-141799#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/windows-powershell/powershell-run-programs-remotely-141270#commentsAnchorFri, 23 Mar 2012 15:37:12 GMT

This script is helpful unless you need real solid reporting and filtering capabilities, which is necessary to appease most auditors. If you only need AD auditing for peace of mind or internal security, this script can be useful. In my opinion, its probably not enough to appease auditors who demand reporting and audit trail offered by tools like NetWrix AD Change Reporter (freeware) or Quest ChangeAuditor.]]>Lorenzo0o0Thu, 08 Mar 2012 19:26:25 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/scripting/auditing-active-directory-users-groups-141463#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/scripting/auditing-active-directory-users-groups-141463#commentsAnchorFri, 02 Mar 2012 12:17:05 GMT
Bill, this was an interesting article. I have a similar script that pulls group membership for all users in the domain and writes the entries to a csv. It also dates the csv file and appends the date to each entry to be used as a reference when restoring accidentally deleted accounts. ###start### connect-QADService -service 'domain.contoso.com' $objGroup = get-qadgroup -sizelimit 0 -empty $false -grouptype 'security' $result = $objGroup | foreach-object { $group=$_.name get-qadgroupmember $_ -ea SilentlyContinue -sizelimit 0 | select-object SamAccountName,displayname,@{n="GroupName";e={$group}},@{n="Date";e={$date}} } $filename = "allDomaingroupmembers{0:yyyyMMdd}.csv" -f (Get-Date) $result | export-csv -path D:\scripts\Allgroupmembershipbackup\$filename ###end### This does take a couple hours to run so any feedback would be much appreciated.]]>Jamie1Fri, 02 Mar 2012 12:17:05 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/scripting/auditing-active-directory-users-groups-141463#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/windows-powershell/scripting-remote-computers-141558#commentsAnchorSat, 21 Jan 2012 05:34:10 GMT
Good article Bill. I must add two alternatives for remote execution: 1) Telnet 2) Windows Remote Shell (Winrs). Telnet (telnet server) service exist in XP but it is disabled by default. After enabling this service we can remotely connect to to XPs and execute commands on those computers. On Vista and 7 Telnet Server and Client components can be installed from the Add/Remove Windows Components section. Telnet uses port 23 by default. Winrs on the other hand exists only on vista and 7. When configured, commands can be executed on remote computers over port 80.]]>murat yildirimogluSat, 21 Jan 2012 05:34:10 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/windows-powershell/scripting-remote-computers-141558#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/scripting/Auditing 32-bit and 64-bit Applications with PowerShell-136129#commentsAnchorWed, 03 Aug 2011 09:16:32 GMT
Bill, does this actually find all the applications? Referencing Greg's post. http://www.scriptlogic.com/smbit/article/top-tricks-in-inventorying-installed-applications-on-your-network Theres a problem, however, with the registry-based approach. Not every application deposits the correct (or, in many cases, any!) information to that location in the registry. In my case, while 7-Zip did indeed store its information in that location, I found no record of my installed copy of Camtasia, for example. Thats why getting a complete record of every application means also looking elsewhere. A second option is to see whats been stored in the computers WMI store. Many applications, when installed, add information about themselves to the WMI class called Win32_Product. ]]>Tim BoltonWed, 03 Aug 2011 09:16:32 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/scripting/Auditing 32-bit and 64-bit Applications with PowerShell-136129#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/development/byte-conversions-made-easy-129737#commentsAnchorThu, 12 May 2011 11:36:33 GMT

I found out many of these things the hard way. It’s nice to see more and more useful articles about Powershell. I’m still a newbie, but figured out one very useful method... I’ve chosen to leave my security at the "restricted" level on my PC and all the PCs I support in my department. It’s actually very simple to lower security to "unrestricted", run a script, and then set it back to "restricted". It requires running Powershell from a regular Cmd wrapper... set workDrv=D: set workDir=Scripting\Powershell %workDrv% cd %workDrv%\%workDir% powershell -command "& {Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope LocalMachine Unrestricted -Force}" @echo. @echo. @set /p ScriptName=What’s the name of your PowerShell script? : powershell -command .\%ScriptName% @echo. @echo. :: Return the security policy to defaults, restricted... powershell -command "& {Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope LocalMachine Restricted -Force}" powershell -command "& {Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser Undefined -Force}" powershell -command "& {Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process Undefined -Force}" :END @pause The two variables for preferred workDrv and workDir need to be set. From then on, all one has to do is run it. It prompts for the name of the script. I always copy the name beforehand. When prompted, all I have to do is right-click to paste (Cmd QuickEdit feature), and hit Enter. The pause at the end allows me to verify that the "restricted" policy has been reinstated properly. This can be tailored to run scripts on remote machines also.]]>JeffWed, 24 Feb 2010 16:14:17 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/windows-powershell/running-powershell-scripts-is-as-easy-as-1-2-3#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/deployment/get-information-about-msi-files-with-just-a-few-clicks#commentsAnchorThu, 11 Feb 2010 14:28:51 GMT

Downloaded and installed just fine, and works great on the local computer on which it is installed. Doesn’t seem to work for remote computers on the network. Logged in as myself, however I am a member of the Domain Admin group. When I input the name of another computer, it returns 0X800A01CE and says that the remote computer cannot be found or is not running the spooler service. Neither of these are actually true. This would be a super tool as I am slated to replace my print spooler next month.]]>JamesThu, 11 Jan 2007 15:49:58 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/html-application-hta/per-machine-printer-gui#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/html-application-hta/per-machine-printer-gui#commentsAnchorMon, 08 Jan 2007 16:39:49 GMT
