Scripts and Other Utilities

Scripts and Other Utilities

All downloads are currently being transitioned from ShareFile to GitHub and Dropbox.

All current documentation scripts require PowerShell Version 3 or later and create a Microsoft Word 2010, 2013, or 2016/2019/Word O365 document.

Most documentation scripts will also create formatted text and HTML output, so Microsoft Word is not required.

*****All scripts perform best with PowerShell Version 5*****

The scripts that create Word or PDF output DO NOT work with PowerShell versions later than 5.1.

Each documentation script has up to seven parts:

1. ReadMe file
2. Change Log
3. Unsigned script with PS1 extension
4. Unsigned script with TXT extension
5. Signed script with PS1 extension
6. Signed script with TXT extension
7. Sample Software Exclusions file with TXT extension (XenApp 6.x & StoreFront scripts only)

PDF – Norway CUGtech Host 2016 Presentation Greetings, I keep meaning to post this but never do. Here is a link to the PDF from the two sessions I gave for the awesome Norway Citrix User Group (CUG). If you ever get invited to speak to this amazing group, do not turn down the offer. The group treats its guest speakers like royalty. Even though most of the sessions are in Norwegian, most of us attend events like this for the networking (and for some of you, the alcohol). I was initially scheduled to deliver these two sessions at their spring event, but United Airlines did their best to keep me away, and they won. The Norway CUG was generous enough to invite me to speak at their Fall event. This time, United Airlines cooperated, and I made it to Oslo. Side note: If you ever have the chance to visit Oslo or Norway, please do. The country, people, and food are wonderful. Norwegians speak better English than most Americans do. The Norwegians I met on this trip and on a previous trip were very polite and helpful. Everyone was helpful to this country boy who is not familiar with buses or trains or buying tickets for public transportation., I gave back-to-back sessions. The first was 10 Things in AD talk, updated for 2016, and then (re)Building Your Active Directory. The PDF combines both slide decks. Those who attended my session came away with the following information: Domain and Forest Functional Levels Sites and Services: Global Catalog Sites and Services: Connection Objects Sites and Services: Subnets DNS Reverse Lookup Zones Duplicate DNS Entries Orphaned Domain Controllers Authoritative Time Server Domain Controller DNS IP Configuration Settings Active Directory Design Guidelines Who to ignore Why a (re)design may be required The options for a (re)design The pros and cons of a (re)design What items to consider The mandatory requirements And much more I want to thank the following individuals for their assistance in compiling the information and verifying its accuracy. Michael B. Smith, “Office Servers and Services” with a specialty in Exchange MVP, https://www.essential.exchange/blog/ Brian Desmond, Identity and Access Management MVP, http://BrianDesmond.com A lot of the information in the second session comes from chapters 11, 13, 14 and 15 in Designing, Deploying, and Running Active Directory 5th Edition from O’Reilly Press.
