How to get a quick list from AD with samid and company name.

dsquery user -limit 1000 | dsget user -samid -company

I doubt anyone else would ever need this info.

This was a DOS attack. Now it has been blocked.

Please do not reply to this message; it was sent from an unmonitored email address.

Why do businesses send "do not reply" emails? This is so annoying. My Twitter account was hacked. It sure would be nice if I could let them know I did not change the email address.

How to recover Ultravnc server password

HKLM\software\orl\winvnc3\default\password = 7fb09a95f8200ecb

Copy the encrypted password to a decoder like this one.

Now I have the password and it works.

Quick script to backup Fortinet hardware on Windows.

bkup.bat

echo execute backup config ftp /fortiwifi-1 ftp.example.com  user pass >bkup.tmp

u:\putty 10.111.1.1 -l admin -pw admin-pass -m bkup.tmp

Repeat for next unit...

You need Putty and an ftp server. Now I type "bkup" and six devices are backed up in 30 seconds. I will make this a scheduled task later.

Explorer crashes with BEX64 when I create a shortcut in Citrix.

I need to create a shortcut to the local client C drive while inside Citrix. Every attempt results in this message.

This may be a bug in Citrix but here is my workaround.

J:\>echo explorer \\client\c$\Downloads > downloads.bat

Now I just double click on downloads.bat and it opens the client folder like a shortcut.

I tracked down a stolen laptop with LogMeIn Hamachi.

We install Hamachi and VNC on all of our laptops for remote support. A fairly new laptop was recently stolen. I started watching Hamachi and the laptop was online the next day. I don't know of a way to get the real IP address from Hamachi so I used VNC to watch the screen. The user just happened to be filling out a job application online so I saw the name, address, phone number... We passed the info along to the local PD, the laptop was returned and there was an arrest. Hamachi and VNC are great tools for business.

Note for next time:

I will use a screen recording app to make a video of the remote screen.
