PowerShell Scripting: Get File Share Paths

Recently I was requested to locate the configured shares on the file servers and how they are mapped to their associated directories. As this information not only had to be retrieved, but also typed out to be passed along to the various managers, I decide a nice little PowerShell command would help accomplish this task in a quick fashion. What this command is set up to do is to get the file shares and organize them by the name and path, get the logical mapping of that share and finally pipe that information into a file called "outfile.txt" in the C:\temp directory. The location that the command saves to as well as the file name can be changed to whatever knocks your socks off.

To get the share file paths in use by a server issue command:

Get-WmiObject win32_share | ft name, path - auto | win32_logicaldisk | Out-File C:\temp\outfile.txt

This command will result in the outfile.txt and you can then copy and paste that information into whatever documentation you would like, or simply pass it along the way that it is. In my case I put the data into an Excel Spread Sheet just to make it a little easier to navigate through...

Visio Stencils Pack for Azure and Microsoft Integration (v5.0.0)

First off, I'd like to send a big shout out to Sandro Pereira who's been managing the vision stencils pack. Essentially, I'm re-posting his information here, because I had a really hard time finding the latest Visio pack for Azure, that wasn't a bunch of SVG's. My thought is that if more people re-post, maybe the search engines of the internet will have an easier time propagating the information... Sandero's Blog (the original post around the new stencils): https://blog.sandro-pereira.com/2019/10/18/microsoft-integration-and-azure-stencils-pack-for-visio-new-major-version-available-v5-0-0/ Sandero's GitHub: https://github.com/sandroasp/Microsoft-Integration-and-Azure-Stencils-Pack-for-Visio Microsoft TechNet Download: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Collection-of-Integration-e6a3f4d0 I will say, and maybe it's just because I'm using Visio 2013, each icon has a boarder that needs to be removed when putting it on the page...

Disable Security Features to Dual Boot OS X - El Capitan

So, I've recently been working on updating/rebuilding my latest little friend (an 11" MacBook Air) to dual boot the latest OS X, El Capitan, and Kali. I'll go over everything in full detail as soon as I can finish the setup, but I wanted to get this out there for anyone else that may stumble upon any issues with setting up rEFInd on an updated mac. To start, while on Yosemite, I downloaded El Capitan from the App Store, and copied the install files to a USB. From there I preformed my upgrade. This might not be a good option for some people, as I'm sure your mac might be your primary computer... For me, that's not a problem. I tend to keep my essentials on USB drives / cloud storage as I tend to need access from different devices (phone, computer, tablet, etc.). After preforming a clean install of El Capitan, I headed over to the rEFInd website, download the program and ran the install.sh script... Now, that appears to work, like it did with pervious versions of

Windows Server 2008: Log on as batch job

From time to time, I have to set up some scheduled tasks that required a dedicated account to run. And when doing so, I'll usually forget that the dedicated account usually isn't given any more permissions than what it needs to complete the task at hand. So, after setting up the task, Windows will usually yell at me and say "The account needs batch job rights". So here's how to grant batch job permissions on your server. Go to your start menu, and start searching for Local Security Policy In the left pane of the MMC that opens up, expand Local Policies, and highlight User Rights Assignment. Now, in the left right pane, locate "Log on as a batch job" and double click it. In the properties window that opens up, add the user or group that needs this permission. I find that if you have multiple service accounts running different tasks on the same server, it's easier to just add a group verses the individual a
