Active Directory, Exchange, Microsoft Clustering, Scripting, MOM, SQL. : Windows Scripting

Modification in scripts posted here.

Nirmal Sharma — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 22:56:00 GMT

Guys,

Apologies...

I have made a mistake for all the scripts posted here. The variable posted here for all the scripts (srvlist=c:\temp\srvlist.txt) is not the one I intended to write in the script. The exact variable should look like below:

SET Srvlist=c:\temp\srvlist.txt

I will replace script variable in all when I get enough time to do so.

Cheers!

How to refresh the Group Policy Settings on remote computers

Nirmal Sharma — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 16:14:00 GMT

The following knowledgebase explains the scenario in which you need to refresh the Group Policy Settings on a remote computer.

The Group Policy Settings are refreshed as per the interval configured in the Group Policy for client computers, member servers and domain controllers. You can use the following command line tools to refresh the Group Policy Settings on remote computer. You need to log on to the computer manually and then perform the action suggested below:

For Windows XP computers:

Gpupdate.exe /Target:User /force
Gpupdate.exe /Target:Computer /force

For Windows 2000 computers:

Secedit.exe /refreshpolicy user_policy
Secedit.exe /refreshpolicy machine_policy

To refresh the policy on remote computer or computers you can use the following script to do so:

Create a ComputerList.txt
Put all the remote computers in the Text file.
Use the Psexec.exe tool to execute the command remotely.

For Windows XP Computers:

Psexec.exe -@ComputerList.txt Gpupdate.exe /Target:User /force

Psexec.exe -@ComputerList.txt Gpupdate.exe /Target:Computer /force

For Windows 2000 Computers:

Psexec.exe -@ComputerList.txt secedit.exe /refreshpolicy user_policy

Psexec.exe -@ComputerList.txt secedit.exe /refreshpolicy machine_policy

The above Psexec.exe command will run on all the computers specified in the ComputerList.txt.

You can also use the following script to check the version of Operating System and then issue the command:

@echo off

XPGPORef1=gpupdate.exe /Target:User /force

XPGPORef2=gpupdate.exe /Target:Computer /force

Win2kGPORef1=secedit.exe /refreshpolicy user_policy

Win2kGPORef2=secedit.exe /refreshpolicy machine_policy

For /f “Tokens=*” %%a in (ComputerList.txt) Do (

SET Comp_name=%%a

Ver.exe \\%comp_name% > Hostver.txt

Find /I “XP” < Hostver.txt > CheckCC.txt

IF %errorlevel% == 0 (

Psexec.exe \\%comp_name% Gpupdate.exe /Target:User /force

Psexec.exe \\%comp_name% Gpupdate.exe /Target:Computer /force

) ELSE (

Psexec.exe \\%comp_name% secedit.exe /refreshpolicy user_policy

Psexec.exe \\%comp_name% secedit.exe /refreshpolicy machine_policy

)

The above script will check the Operating System version by executing Ver.exe on remote computer and then run the appropriate commands to refresh the Group Policy Objects.

The above registry key includes the following values in right pane:

systembootdevice REG_SZ multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)

systemstartoptions REG_SZ NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF FASTDETECT

To check on a Remote Computer:

You can use the below script to check the LogPath and Tasks Folder on a remote computer:

@echo off

Srvlist=C:\Temp\Srvlist.txt

Echo Computer Name, System Boot Partition, BOOT.INI Options >> Result.csv

SET Sys_Part=

SET Boot_Option=

For /F “Tokens=*” %%a In (%srvlist%) Do (

Set Comp_name=%%a

Set RegQry=”\\%%a\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control” /v SystemBootDevice

Set RegQry1=”\\%%a\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control” /v SystemStartOptions

REG.exe Query %RegQry% > CheckCC.txt

REG.exe Query %RegQry1% > CheckCC1.txt

Find /i "SystemBootDevice" < CheckCC.txt > StringCheck.txt

FOR /f “Tokens=3” %%b in (CheckCC.txt) DO SET Sys_Part=%%b

Find /i "SystemStartOptions" < CheckCC1.txt > StringCheck.txt

FOR /f “Tokens=3” %%b in (CheckCC1.txt) DO SET Boot_Option=%%b

SET Auto_Rbt=

For /F “Tokens=*” %%a In (%srvlist%) Do (

Set Comp_name=%%a

Set RegQry=”\\%%a\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl”

REG.exe Query %RegQry% > CheckCC.txt

Find /i "CrashDumpEnabled REG_DWORD 0x3" < CheckCC.txt > StringCheck.txt

If %errorlelvel% == 0 (

SET Crash_Ctrl=Enabled

) ELSE (

SET Crash_Ctrl=Disabled

)

Find /i “AutoReboot REG_DWORD 0x1” < CheckCC.txt > StringCheck.txt

If %errorlelvel% == 0 (

SET Auto_Rbt=Enabled

) ELSE (

SET Auto_Rbt=Disabled

)

Echo %Comp_name, %Crash_Ctrl%, %Auto_Rbt% >> Result.csv

)

*** End ***

The above script will check remote computer for two registry entries to check whether Crash Control is enabled or not and the results will be saved in a CSV format file.

How To Check What All Programs Will Run When User Logged On To Computer.

Nirmal Sharma — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 21:28:00 GMT

The following knowledgebase will tell you how you can check what all programs will run when user has logged on to the computer.

When user logs on to the computer the Winlogon service will use the following registry entry to run any programs (if specified):

HKLM\Software\Micrsofot\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKLM\Software\Micrsofot\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

The above two registry entries are used by Winlogon service after user has logged on to the system successfully. The Winlogon service will create a list of programs to run.

Please note that domain policy may override this setting if specified. You can also use Group Policy settings to block any program to run.

You can use the following script to check the programs in Run or RunOnce registry key on remote computer.

*** Start ***

@echo off

Set RegQry=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Set RegQry1=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

REG.exe Query \\remote_computer\%RegQry% > CheckRun.txt

REG.exe Query \\remote_computer\%RegQry1% > CheckRunOnce.txt

Echo Programs on Computer : Remote_Computer >> Programs.txt

For /F “Skip=5 Tokens=*” %%a In (CheckRun.txt) Do (

Echo %%a >> Programs.txt

)

For /F “Skip=5 Tokens=*” %%a In (CheckRunOnce.txt) Do (

Echo %%a >> Programs.txt

)

*** End ***

You can use PSEXEC (a tool from Sysinternals) to run this script remotely and then redirect the output in a Text file.

How To Check If All The Computers Running On Network Are Using Default Windows Shell.

Nirmal Sharma — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 20:05:00 GMT

The following knowledgebase explains the method you can use to check if the user or computer is using the Windows default Explorer Shell. The Windows Default Shell is Explorer.exe for computer (it will apply to all the users who have logged on to the computer successfully). The user shell is Userinit.exe (This shell will apply to users who have logged on to the computer successfully).

Windows default Shell and Users Shell reside in the following registry entry:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.

In the right pane you can see the following entries:

Shell REG_SZ Explorer.exe

Userinit REG_SZ C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,

You can use the following script to check whether all the computers in your network are using default shell or not:

@echo off

Srvlist=C:\Temp\Srvlist.txt

Echo Computer Name, Windows Default Shell?, User Shell? >> Result.csv

SET Win_Def=

SET Usr_Def=

For /F “Tokens=*” %%a In (%srvlist%) Do (

Set Comp_name=%%a

Set RegQry=”\\%%a\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon”

REG.exe Query %RegQry% > CheckShell.txt

Find /i "Explorer.exe" < CheckShell.txt > StringCheck.txt

If %errorlelvel% == 0 (

SET Win_Def=Yes

) ELSE (

SET Win_Def=No

)

Find /i “userinit.exe” < CheckShell.txt > StringCheck.txt

If %errorlelvel% == 0 (

SET Usr_Def=Yes

) ELSE (

SET Usr_Def=No

)

Echo %Comp_name, %Win_Def%, %Usr_Def% >> Result.csv

)

*** End ***

The above script will run the Reg.exe command on all the computers specified in ComputerList.txt and will save the result in Result.csv for computers who have Windows Default Shell and user default shell specified in registry.

How to find the DNS Name of a domain

Nirmal Sharma — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 21:53:00 GMT

The following knowledgebase will tell you the procedure you can use to retrieve the DNS name of a domain from registry.

The following registry location is the best place to find the DNS name of a domain controller.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\History.

In the right pane, you will see an entry by name DCName=

The above entry will contain the DNS name of the domain. This DNS name of domain is stored in registry key after Winlogon retrieves the Domain controller by using the DcGetDCName API call.

Checking Operating System Version and Copying Customized MSGINA.dll file.

Nirmal Sharma — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 19:24:00 GMT

This script explains how you can use a small script in GPO Login Script to copy a customized MSGINA.dll for logon purpose to operating systems. Windows XP and Windows 2000 MSGINA.dll are different. Windows 2000 MSGINA.dll will not work on Windows XP and vice-versa.

This script stores the reports in a central place (\\domain_name.com\netlogon\logon\MSGINAReport.csv. and report is saved as CSV so you can open it in Excel.
MSGINA.dll file is copied as per the Operating System version. If its XP then MSGINA.dll for XP will be copied to client computer. If its Windows 2000 then MSGINA.dll for Windows 2000 will be copied to client computer.
Ver.exe and hostname.exe are used to determine the Operating System version and Computer Name respectively.

***Start***

@Echo off
REM Reports will be saved in \\domain.com\netlogon\logon\MSGINAReport.csv

How to create a Second Home folder on a different server:

Nirmal Sharma — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 13:47:00 GMT

The below script creates a second home folder for currently logged on user. This is very useful when you want to keep two home folders for one user:

REM ***START***

@echo off

echo **************************************************************************************
echo Script to Create Second Home Folder for currently logged on user account
echo **************************************************************************************

REM The following command executes to create second home folder for user.
md \\server_name\Studentworks$\%username2%

REM The following command share second home folder remotely for currently logged on user.

rmtshare \\server_name\%username%2$ = c:\studentworks\%username%2

REM Now assign permissions to currently logged on user (Full Control)

xcacls.vbs \\server_name\studentworks$\%username%2 /g "domain_name/%username%":F

REM Now map second home folder to J:\ drive.

net use j: \\server_name\studentworks$\%username%2

REM ***End***

List members of a Group

Nirmal Sharma — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 16:57:00 GMT

You can retrieve a list of users from a Security or Distribution Group in domain by using DSget tool - a new tool introduced in Windows 2003. This tool and other related tools ships with Windows 2003 CD.

Let's say you need to gather a list of users (+nested groups) from a domain group. This is bit easy. You can use the following command to accomplish the goal:

dsget group "DN_of_group" -members -expand > userlist.txt

The output will be saved in userlist.txt

This is the sample output saved in userlist.txt

"CN=Shan Dallis,OU=Users,DC=test,DC=local"
"CN=Tapihe C Mdwa,OU=Users,DC=test,DC=local"

and so on...

Add a user to Local Admin group on All machines.

Nirmal Sharma — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 16:54:00 GMT

Scenario: You need to add a user (test1) to local Administrators group on all computer. How do you achieve this??? no no...you're wrong here - don't need to use VBScript or something like that simply use PSEXEC to accomplish this! - intersting!

Here it is:

psexec.exe net localgroup administrators test.local\test /add -@server.txt

Isn't simple as pie?

-@server.txt - This file includes the list of servers to be processed by psexec to run the Net Localgroup Administrators test.local\test /add command.

net localgroup - This command directs NBT API to execute a command using Windows Low-level sub-system. You should use Net Group for Global security group if you're gonna add to Global Security Group.
