Monitor file changes in Windows with PowerShell and pswatch 4 years, 4 months agoSometimes I have wanted to monitor a directory for any file changes and receive alerts of those changes, for instance, when trying to find where an application is saving a configuration file. One solution I have come across is the small PowerShell module pswatch, which José F. Romaniello created.

How to centralize PowerShell transcript logs 4 years, 10 months agoOne of the logs that can trace an attacker’s activity is a transcript log. Transcript logs are basically an “over-the-shoulder” method of seeing what’s occurring in any given PowerShell session. It shows which commands the user is running and any output printed to the console. In this article, I will show how to centralize these logs for machines in Active Directory (AD) for further investigation if needed.

Using Invoke-VMScript for running remote scripts on VMs with PowerCLI 4 years, 11 months agoInvoke-VMScript allows you to run PowerShell, batch, and Bash scripts on remote VMware virtual machines from PowerShell. Not only that but since you are actually authenticating to vCenter or ESXi, it does not require network connectivity to the server you want to run the script on.

Windows 10 in-place upgrade with PowerShell and MDT 4 years, 11 months agoThere are a few ways to do this. I would recommend for security purposes, encrypting the password to a file and then decrypting when executing the script. This will help you.

Windows 10 in-place upgrade with PowerShell and MDT 4 years, 11 months agoHmm. Are both machines in Active Directory? That would be one requirement, unless you are using PKI/or SSL certificates on the client.

Install Windows updates remotely with the PowerShell 5 years agoIf you go check the PowerShell Gallery you will find a great module in the top 100 downloads called PSWindowsUpdate. This is one of my favorite modules because it fits a specific need that many organizations have, which is orchestrating the deployment of Windows updates. There are many great cmdlets in this module, but the one I will focus on today is Invoke-WUInstall, used to install Windows updates remotely.
