  • PowerShell: Per-user VMware Thinapp Registration Login Script

    calendar Jun 30, 2014 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    I'm not super familiar with ThinApping, but converted portions of this VMware login script at the request of a consultant.

    I tried to automate the script a bit more than the one from VMware's blog. Their script required that you put in the path to each EXE. This script will find all exes within a directory and register …

    Recently, while trying to use New-WebServiceProxy to automate some SharePoint form entries, I ran into a lookup issue.

    First, I got this rather generic error: Exception calling "GetListItems" with "7" argument(s): "Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was …

  • PowerShell v3: Get Volume Information for Clustered SQL Server Storage

    calendar Jul 23, 2013 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    Unfortunately, there are no native PowerShell Failover Cluster cmdlets which will give you the volume information for disks in a cluster. I've seen some bloggers use Get-ClusterSharedVolume but a Cluster Shared Volume or CSV is different from volumes used within a SQL cluster.

    The script below, which was written with …

    calendar Jul 22, 2013 · 3 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    Recently, I was asked to help automate a friend's super boring daily duty of logging repetitive activities to a SharePoint Task list. Even though I'm no longer regularly working with SharePoint (yay!), I accepted the challenge.

    Below is the script I created, which can be scheduled (and mixed up, even using $a = …

  • Use PowerShell v3 to Keep a CookieJar and POST to a Web Form That Prohibits XSS

    calendar Jul 8, 2013 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    In my previous post, I outlined how to use PowerShell v2 to keep a CookieJar and POST to a Web Form that Prohibits XSS. The code was 35 lines long. Upon seeing my post, Lee Holmes suggested using PowerShell v3's Invoke-WebRequest instead to get my code down to 1/5th of its original size.

    I'm astounded at how easy …

    After speaking with a colleague today, I expect this list will grow as I work more with the vSphere suite. But until then, here is a consolidated list of posts and scripts that I've written to ease the replacement of SSL certificates on Windows-based vSphere related products using PowerShell and a Windows Domain …

  • Update VMware Horizon View SSL Certs with your own Windows Domain CA Certificates using PowerShell

    calendar Jul 1, 2013 · 3 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    Well, this script was different. Unlike the other posts in this series, I was required to use only Microsoft command line tools instead of OpenSSL. Not that I'm opposed to using certreq and certutil -- I actually started this whole cert automation project to see if it was possible to use only these tools and …

    This script generates the SSL certificates based off of the WebServer Certificate Template and runs a batch file to perform the actual replacement. …
