Good evening again!
This time I am back with quite an easy one. The scenario. Users are logged in on their workstation/server and you need to know which group policies they are getting loaded in (either computer or user)! (Assuming there is a reason for doubt on whether or not they are getting the correct ones from the domain GPO)

Good day!
This time a niche script for those customers that use terminal/remote desktop servers with User Profile Disks. For people unsure about what User Profile Disks (UPD's) are. They are profile folders located on for example a file server that get loaded onto a terminal server the moment the user it belongs to logs in. These contain the user-data files (documents, appdata etc. etc.). This saves space and allows you to easier set limits to how big their profile is allowed to be. However .. problems can arise at times and if a UPD gets stuck on one of the terminal servers while the user gets directed to a different one (giving that employee constant temporary profiles) it can get annoying real quick to find out where it is stuck (as usually the best way is to manually disconnect the disk from the server), especially when you have multiple servers with 10+ users on it. Good day again!
Network drives are commonly used in many companies. Whether they have a H: drive linking to their home drives or some other drive letters linking to specific shares on file servers .. these are commonly used ways of allowing people to access files that are saved on servers, storage devices or other remote places. These drive letters are usually spread around by different methods ranging from group policy, workstation management software or manually added by customers. However, some times something changes that requires the old shares to be removed due to being invalid or outdated. When you have customers with clusters of network drives of which some are new/correct and others are invalid, it can become annoying to manage. The script is quite simple and only has a niche usage, but can nonetheless be quite useful. Good day and welcome to the first of hopefully many blog posts whereby I mention some of the issues I run into while trying to gather experience regarding the world of IT and share solutions or workarounds I find as I go.
One of the earlier things I ran against (Mostly while performing remote background tasks) is changing current user registry's. The problem is that either the specific user/customer accounts on the servers/workstations don't have enough rights to change a registry or that remote software uses an administrator or SYSTEM account on which it has no use to change the current user registry. Therefor this Powershell script ended up saving me a few times. This can be used from either an Administrator account on the device itself or remotely using any RMM/MSP software. |
