Powershell script to find scheduled tasks on all servers or computers in the domain.

By Tom Kitching

First off lets get all the set up variables out of the way. A lot of these are the same variables I use in every script and I just copy them in each time so you may not want to use them all.

[cc lang="powershell"]$Transpath = $env:LOCALAPPDATA + "\Cloudwyse\Logs\scheduled_task_Report_" + $(get-date –Format ddMMyy_HHmmss) + ".log"
Start-Transcript –Path $TransPath –NoClobber
$DateTime = (Get-Date).ToString('ddMMyy_HHmmss')
$ResultsPath = "C:\Cloudwyse\Scripts\Output\Scheduled_Task_Test_Output_" + $DateTime + ".csv"
$Date = Get-Date –Format "dd-MM-yyyy"
$Pass = cat C:\mysecurestring.txt | convertto-securestring
$Cred = new-object –typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential –argumentlist "CONTOSO\rick.sanchez",$Pass
$DC = "DC01.contoso.com"
$TaskReport = @()
$TestedServers = 0
$OutputPath = "C:\Cloudwyse\Scripts\Output"
$SplitSeparator = ""
$SplitOption = [System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries[/cc]

Update Job Title and Department in Active Directory with Powershell

By Tom Kitching

Here is a short powershell script to update job title and department in Active Directory, though this could be used to update any of the AD fields.

I did this using a Windows feature known as NLA – Network Location Awareness – which has been around in one form or…

This is a very obscure problem, so I’m recording this more for my own reference in future rather than expecting anyone else to have the same issue! The issue occurs when a migration from a hybrid exchange domain to another domain which uses AD Sync has been completed in the following manner: filter/delete user in…
