Set O365 Password to never expire for just one user

By admin

Recently I needed to do this for our PRTG alerting account which was failing to send notifications as the O365 password had expired. I did this from Powershell within Windows 10 as follows: Launch powershell as Administrator then run

[cc lang="powershell"]Install-Module MsOnline[/cc]

1	[cc lang="powershell"]Install-Module MsOnline[/cc]

Then run

[cc lang="powershell"]Connect-MsOlService[/cc]

1	[cc lang="powershell"]Connect-MsOlService[/cc]

at this point an O365 authentication box pops up – enter your…

Add AD security group to local administrators on Hyper-V server running core

By admin

First connect to the remote server with powershell

[cc lang="powershell"]Enter-PSSession -ComputerName contoso\hv01[/cc]

1	[cc lang="powershell"]Enter-PSSession -ComputerName contoso\hv01[/cc]

Next run the command to add the group:

[cc lang="powershell"]Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" -Member "CONTOSO\Hyper-V Admins"[/cc]

1	[cc lang="powershell"]Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" -Member "CONTOSO\Hyper-V Admins"[/cc]

If you’re paranoid (like me) and want to check this worked you can use:

[cc lang="powershell"]Get-LocalGroupMember "Administrators"[/cc]

1	[cc lang="powershell"]Get-LocalGroupMember "Administrators"[/cc]

Configuring log-on scripts to run via powershell from the “Run” key in Windows registry

By admin

If you’ve tried to add a powershell script to a registry run key, you’ve probably discovered that it doesn’t run with powershell. Instead, Windows just opens the script in Notepad and leaves it sitting there all naked and exposed! So in order to launch the powershell scripts we’re going to need to use a .bat…

Powershell script to display message box to user giving them the option to restart now or later

By admin

I required a script that would run automatically for a user from a RunOnce key. This powershell script gives the user a message box asking if they would like to restart now or later. If they choose “yes” it will reboot now, if they choose “No” or “Cancel” it will not restart but will give…

Hyper-V host running core – check RAM from remote server with Powershell

By admin

Here’s a little script I created that was useful to check the amount of physical RAM installed on a Hyper-V server running core. It reports the amount of physical RAM in the host as well as the amount of RAM which is actually visible and addressable to the server. It also reports the RAM which…

Find number of cores on each processor for Microsoft Server 2016 Licensing

By admin

To calculate the cost of licensing for Server 2016, it’s necessary to know how many cores each CPU of your server is running. This WMI query is useful in identifying that.

[cc lang="powershell"]$property = "systemname", "deviceid", "name", "maxclockspeed","addressWidth", "numberOfCores", "NumberOfLogicalProcessors"
Get-WmiObject -class win32_processor -Property  $property | Select-Object -Property $property[/cc]

1 2	[cc lang="powershell"]$property = "systemname", "deviceid", "name", "maxclockspeed","addressWidth", "numberOfCores", "NumberOfLogicalProcessors" Get-WmiObject -class win32_processor -Property $property \| Select-Object -Property $property[/cc]
