PowerShell Script Register-OutlookProfile.ps1
Mar 1st
Project Objective:
Convert existing Batch logon script, Configure-Outlook.bat, to PowerShell, while doing so improve upon the proper Outlook version enumeration with a registry check.
Problem to be solved:
Current script has been written in Batch. Getting Batch logon scripts to run the same way they ran in Windows XP, on Windows Vista and Windows 7 has become a game of hit and miss. This script, in its Batch form, runs just fine. So re-writing it in PowerShell is merely for academic and consistency purposes.
Suggestions:
None.. Just re-write it and learn.
Future Versions:
The current version is not passing the variables to the environment that is launched at the end of the script. I am sure this is an error on my part. I just need to sit down and figure out what I am doing wrong.
# WARNING WORK IN PROGRESS
# This script is currently not working as it should.
# I am looking into why and debugging. It is based on a
# working batch version, its just a matter of getting it
# to work in PowerShell

Batch Script Configure-Outlook.bat
Mar 1st
Project Objective:
Lower TCO (total cost of ownership) on Outlook configurations while setting everyone’s Outlook/Exchange setup to the same uniform settings. (Use cache mode and use RPC over HTTPS)
Problem to be solved:
Lower TCO and IT man hours spent on configuring Outlook.
Suggestions:
Teach users how to configure Outlook/Exchange themselves – REJECTED. Users cannot be expected to read instructions that is what IT is for.
Accepted solution: Use Office Customization Wizard to create an Outlook Profile. Check at each logon if Outlook is configure, if it is not load the corresponding Outlook/Exchange profile.
Future Versions:
Future versions will use PowerShell as I am migrating to PowerShell. Using PowerShell’s native syntax you can enumerate Outlook.exe’s location and call that versus static entries in the file or using reg.exe

PowerShell Script Export-ADGroupToHTML.ps1
Feb 19th
Project Objective:
Make one place and one place only a repository for employee contact information.
Problem to be solved:
Curently there are two places people retrieve contact information. Static web page made from an Excel spreadsheet everyone has Full access to and of course the second Outlook (Exchange/Active Directory).
Suggestions:
Sync the web page with the information in Active Directory – REJECTED (Security risk: tamper accidental or otherwise could occur with other people’s information.
Accepted Solution – Allow users to change their own information in Active Directory with GALMod32, export contact information to a formated html file that uses the site’s CSS and Sortable Table to allow viewers to sort the contact information anyway they see fit.
Future Versions:
This code needs to be rewritten with proper procedures instead of a single massive pipe. I would also like to be able to add a Manager collum however in its current form (one large pipe) that isn’t easy as the Manager field resolves to a DN and resolving that DN inline while preservig the object being piped isn’t trivial. That’s what happens when you write a massive pipe. LOL

#
# Summary:
# Enumerates an Active Directory Group then Exports group members'
# contact information into a formatted HTML file. Checks to see if there
# will be more than a 10% change to the file. If there will be, abort.
# I built this feature in mostly as a proof of concept for another script
# but to basically insure that for some freakish reason the file doesn't
# get blanked out or all the records removed.
#
# Notes:
# This was/is my first PowerShell script and what won me over
# to using PowerShell. The script does need a re-write with everything
# I have learned and some functions I plan on returning to this script and
# re-writting it someday. For the most part PowerShell is new to me so as
# such the "main" function is a series of pipes. One thing you will need
# to watch out for, since the main is a series of pipes, is memory usage.
# After running this script a few times in a single shell I noticed
# powershell.exe was using more and more memory. While testing and
# tweaking you may need to exit your shell and restart a new one.
# I dont "think" this is a problem if the script is running as a
# Scheduled Task, just when its run over and over in your shell.

VisualBasic Script check_eventlogs.wsf
Feb 1st
Project Objective:
Create a Nagios addon to be run with NRPE/NSClient++ that checks the Windows event logs for errors.
Problem to be solved:
Increased monitoring of Windows systems. Get notified of any and all errors as they happen opposed to after something worse happens be it hard drive failure, service offline, etc.
Suggestions:
Use existing native Nagios module – REJECED Existing module doesn’t have enough filter capability to prevent IT from being spammed with EVERY single request AND doesnt provide verbose output/what the error even is, just that there was an error.
Accepted Solution: Write our own module to use with a WSF wrapper (as was the norm on NagiosExchange) at the time.
Future Versions:
The original version of this script and another were posted on Nagios Exchange. For whatever reason they are missing now, even though they were quite popular for some time. Future versions will utilize PowerShell over VBS as many of the commands used here are native and faster in PowerShell.

Project Objective:
Reduce total cost of ownership/administration time on adding/replacing printers by automatically adding them at logon.
Problem to be solved:
This script replaces my existing batch script that uses con2prt.exe. The problem with con2prt.exe is that it isn’t great at removing network printers without removing PDF writers and or local attached printers.
Future Versions:
At some point I’d like to revisit this script and build some more intelligence into site and printer selection. I’d like for it to leverage AD to determine a system’s or user’s site then install printers accordingly.
