HOWTO list local administrators on the Windows commandline

net localgroup administrators

Some Useful powershell scripts

Power shell scripts:

#1 Read file names from csv file using pipe delimiter and copy files to with new name to new destination

C:\Temp\finals.csv - csv file
FileName - source file
NewFileName - new name and destination for file

$csv = Import-Csv L:\DataMigration\CalRad\Reports_finals.csv '|' -Header FileName,NewFileName
foreach ($line in $csv) {    If ((Test-Path $line.FileName)){ Copy-Item -path $line.FileName -Destination $line.NewFileName } }

#2  Get all of the pdf full file paths
      execute application using full file path as a command argument.

  $items = Get-ChildItem "L:\DataMigration\CalRad\LegacyData\LegacyReports\Scanned_Docs" -Filter *.pdf 
  foreach ($item in $items) { L:\DataMigration\CalRad\PDFToImage\PDFToImages.exe $item.FullName 140}

#3) import csv file pipe delimited with 4 columns
      copy file to new location using 3rd parameter as source location and 4th parameters as destination path and file name.

$csv = Import-Csv L:\DataMigration\CalRad\LegacyData\LegacyReports\Scanned_Docs.csv '|' -Header Accession,Type,FileName,NewFileName
   foreach ($line in $csv) {    If ((Test-Path $line.FileName)){ Copy-Item -path $line.FileName -Destination $line.NewFileName } }

Find open ports in Windows

From http://www.techrepublic.com

http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/security/list-open-ports-and-listening-services/443

Microsoft Windows XP

Microsoft Windows also offers anetstatcommand that can be executed from the command line to get a list of open ports. The standard MS Windows version ofnetstatis slightly more limited than its Unix-like system counterparts, but still suffices to get a listing of listening services:

  netstat -a | find "LISTENING"

The output of this command should look something like this:

TCP    hostname:epmap           hostname:0               LISTENING
TCP    hostname:microsoft-ds    hostname:0               LISTENING
TCP    hostname:10110           hostname:0               LISTENING
TCP    hostname:netbios-ssn     hostname:0               LISTENING

. . . with “hostname” replaced by the system’s hostname, of course.

Remote Desktop Keystrokes

Remote Desktop Keystrokes

I am not even going to pretend to memorize these:

Ctrl+Alt+End = Ctrl+Alt+Del (the only truly required one to know!)

ALT+PAGE UP (Switch between programs from left to right)
ALT+PAGE DOWN (Switch between programs from right to left)
ALT+INSERT (Cycle through the programs in most recently used order)
ALT+HOME (Display the Start menu)
CTRL+ALT+BREAK (Switch the client computer between a window and a full screen)
ALT+DELETE (Display the Windows menu)
CTRL+ALT+Minus sign (-) (Place a snapshot of the entire client window area on the Terminal server clipboard and provide the same functionality as pressing ALT+PRINT SCREEN on a local computer.)
CTRL+ALT+Plus sign (+) (Place a snapshot of the active window in the client on the Terminal server clipboard and provide the same functionality as pressing PRINT SCREEN on a local computer.)

Windows Password Reset Tool

http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/

• This is a utility to reset the password of any user that has a valid (local) account on your Windows NT/2k/XP/Vista/Win7 etc system.
• You do not need to know the old password to set a new one.
• It works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off a floppydisk or CD or another system.
• Will detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled out user accounts!
• There is also a registry editor and other registry utilities that works under linux/unix, and can be used for other things than password editing.
