INTRO

This is an area for me to record code, scripts, commands, tips, and links for things I am working on and don’t want to forget. Since I work in the IT field as a full-time job, I find myself coming to WinReflection more frequently to get scripts and commands so I figured I would create this page to add things that aren’t published in a full-fledged guide or tutorial for mainly myself but also for others. Note some things may be unfinished, not tested, and or pending work.

Manually and Automatically Removing IIS Log Files

  • Manually (Windows Server 2012):
BAT (Batchfile)
ForFiles.exe -p C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1 -m *.log -d -30 -c "CMD.exe /C Del @path"

This will delete log files older than 30 days from the “W3SVC1” folder, add other folders to remove more.

  • Automatically (Windows Server 2012):
    • Create a batch file at “C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC_LogsMaintenance.bat”
    • Put your ForFiles commands in that batch file. Examples:
BAT (Batchfile)
ForFiles.exe -p C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1 -m *.log -d -30 -c "CMD.exe /C Del @path"
ForFiles.exe -p C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC2 -m *.log -d -30 -c "CMD.exe /C Del @path"
  • Scheduled the batch file to be called weekly on Sundays at 06:00.

Force a Check Disk Scan in Windows on Next Boot

BAT (Batchfile)
fsutil dirty set c:

If the Check Disk scan does not complete, the dirty bit will not be removed meaning a Check Disk scan will be attempted on every boot. You can clear the dirty bit by:

BAT (Batchfile)
chkntfs /x c:

The /x tells Windows NOT to check volume C: on the next reboot. Manually reboot your computer, it should NOT run Check Disk now, but take you directly to Windows. However, obviously if Check Disk failed the system probably got stuck in a reboot loop because the dirty bit doesn’t get removed since Check Disk never completes.

You will need to boot either Windows PE, Windows installation media to Command Prompt, Windows-to-Go, or other custom boot media to manually run chkntfs /x c: to stop the loop. Once Windows has fully loaded, bring up another command prompt and execute the following command:

BAT (Batchfile)
chkdsk /f /r c:

This should take you through five stages of the scan and will unset that dirty bit. Verify that the dirty bit is gone:

BAT (Batchfile)
fsutil dirty query c:

Repair TLS Settings and Resolve Security Complaints

Download IISCrypto here.

I have had times where certain websites complain about the client’s TLS security settings and give me recommendations of the settings to use. However even after changing them, the website still complains. IISCrypto usually fixes that issue for me, using the /best template.

IISCrypto CLI: The following are the switches for the command line version of IIS Crypto. All parameters are optional.

BAT (Batchfile)
/backup - Specify a file to backup the current registry settings too.

/template default - This template restores the server to the default settings.

/best - This template sets your server to use the best practices for TLS. It aims to be compatible with as many browsers as possible while disabling weak protocols and cipher suites.

/pci32 - This template is used to make your server PCI 3.2 compliant. It will disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1 which may break client connections to your website. Please make sure that RDP will continue to function as Windows 2008 R2 requires an update. See our FAQ for more information.

/strict - This template sets your server to use the strictest settings possible. It will disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1 and all non-forward secrecy cipher suites which may break client connections to your website. Please make sure that RDP will continue to function as Windows 2008 R2 requires an update. See our FAQ for more information.

/fips140 - This template makes your server FIPS 140-2 compliant. It is similar to the Best Practices template, however, it is not as secure as Best Practices because some of the weaker cipher suites are enabled.

Specify the filename of a template to use.

/reboot - Reboot the server after a template is applied.
/help|? - Show the help screen.

Here is an example that backs up the registry to a file named backup.reg, applies a custom template named MyServers.ictpl and reboots the server:

BAT (Batchfile)
iiscryptocli /backup backup.reg /template "C:\TEMP\MyServers.ictpl" /reboot

Switching Users with Command Line if GUI Option is Missing

Open Command Prompt or PowerShell and enter the command below:

BAT (Batchfile)
tsdiscon

The ‘tsdiscon’ command will take you to the lock screen. From there, you can go through the usual process to login to any user account on the PC.

Click here for more information on tsdiscon command-line options.

This is beneficial for when a computer joined to a domain is off-site and away from the DC that uses a limited VPN client. By limited I mean the VPN client only works under a certain user profile and you need the VPN connected in order to login with a different domain account. If the domain account has never logged-in to the device before, there won’t be cached credentials so VPN will need to be working to reach the DC to login. I have had to do this with some FortiClient versions that don’t allow VPN connection before login, this is the workaround.

Use “Run as different user” Option in Right-Click Context Menu in Explorer

It’s my understanding that the “Run as administrator” option in Explorer’s right-click context menu invokes the local built-in Administrator account. It’s also my understanding that when using that option under a Standard non-admin user account, a credential prompt will come up asking for Administrator credentials.

However, when you enter them, Windows is just using those credentials to invoke the local built-in Administrator account to run the application or program in question. This means that the install does not run under the session of the credentials entered. This can be a problem in some cases where a program installs to user session that invoked it which would be the local built-in Administrator account.

You may need to use “Run as different user” option to choose a specific Administrator user account which is not the local built-in Administrator account. This is also helpful if the “Run as administrator” option is missing, disabled, or has issues. To get the option, do the following: Hold Ctrl + Shift, then right-click the program in question and you will see the option available in the context menu. A good little secret to know.

Not Seeing Mapped Network Drives for Certain User Sessions

Detail to configure the EnableLinkedConnections registry entry: In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

  • Right-click Configuration, select New, and then select DWORD (32-bit) Value.
  • Name the new registry entry as EnableLinkedConnections.
  • Double-click the EnableLinkedConnections registry entry.
  • In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, type 1 in the Value data field, and then select OK.
  • Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.Click here for more information.

Fix AppX Package Issues after AD Username Change

A user with an Active Directory account has recently obtained a name change. The user getting married, or the name was created incorrectly in the beginning of account creation, or the user wants their account name to be something different. It’s best practice to create a new account for the new name, but sometimes life happens. After the name change, when the user logs into Windows via their AD account onto the organization’s domain, their Windows 10 Store Apps may fail to start, open, or crash.

Try re-registering the Windows 10 AppX packages: Add the user account affected to the Local Administrators group on the affected client machine. Have the user login and try the commands below in PowerShell or in Command Prompt executing PowerShell:

PowerShell
Get-AppxPackage | ForEach-Object { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register ($_.InstallLocation + 'AppxManifest.xml')}

If the above command does not work, try this other variation of it below:

PowerShell
Get-AppxPackage | ForEach-Object { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register ($_.InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml')}

HP CMSL BIOS Update (WiP)

PowerShell
<#  Creator @gwblok - GARYTOWN.COM
    Used to download BIOS Updates from HP, then Extract the bin file.
    It then checks and suspends bitlocker and runs the upgrade.  It does NOT reboot the machine, you can modify the command line to do that, or have your deployment method call the reboot.
    The download and extract areas on in the TEMP folder, as well as the log.
    
    REQUIREMENTS:  HP Client Management Script Library
    Download / Installer: https://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/hp-cmsl.html  - This will download version 1.1.1. and install if needed
    Docs: https://developers.hp.com/hp-client-management/doc/client-management-script-library-0
    This Script was created using version 1.1.1

    Updates: 2019.03.14
        Replaced [Decimal] with [version].  Hopefully will fix issues caused by machines that had more than one decimal point in version.
        Orginally had [Decimal] in code to remove leading "0" on BIOS version reported by HP. Example: Local Version said 1.45, from HP site as 01.45
        Modified Bitlocker Detection.  Technically, probably don't even need the suspend bitlocker code, as HP's upgrade util is supposed to do it.
        Added logic for both HPBIOSUPDREC64.exe & HPFirmwareUpdRec64.exe updaters
