For anyone using the toast notification you get a powershell window pop up that is annoying and looks like there is an open feature request on MS about powershell being able to respect windowstyle hidden parameter.
Anyway, my improvement for the moment is to use cmd /c to start the powershell with start. It still flashes but is much quicker.
If this helps, then replace the first line with the second line. Curious if anyone has a better option.
I could have sworn he went over different scripts than this. His seemed really complicated and were amazing but these don’t seem like the same one’s. Am I mistaken? I could have sworn we talked about staging computers and calling scripts from github. Can we have those posted here as well? I’m going over the video again and trying to glean out the information, but was hoping that some of that might be listed here as well. Thank you. A lot of this was over my head honestly. I appreciate having any scripts that can be provided. He was going very fast for me.
One other script I think he talked about was to regularly change the local user password and accounts.
P.S. I know this makes me sound dumb, but waaaaay back in the day, I had a choice of whether I wanted to be a programmer or a computer and network engineer. When I was programming, my brain would never sleep. Go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and think how I could fix an issue in my code. Networking, if I got it to work, I could at least sleep most of the night.
I had no idea that I needed to be both. These do make our jobs a whole lot easier though.
@des.quinn helped me find the one script I was looking for so I’m good with that one. I did re-watch the video and I think I saw what he was talking about with the onboarding policies. I just wasn’t sure about the others. I probably spoke too soon.
Leave it to Fisk to speak too quickly and then I look like a Noob. We have a great community though that is very helpful to each other. A bit refreshing to have such nice people to work with, to be honest. Some places it isn’t like this.
you could use log to the asset or do a send email function but I would recommend against that. It currently logs to a custom asset field so it is always available when you check the asset.
This is one of our assets. I am going to change how we log this info so it has a prefix of when that password was set.
I really enjoyed this session I tried to use the “Bitlocker key backup” script what I created a custom field called “Bitlocker Status” when i run the script the output appears to be sucessful but nothing gets added to the “Bitlocker Status” field does anyone have any ideas?
I changed my asset field in the script to Bitlocker_Key_C as I was already using this. Make sure you have Import-Module $env:SyncroModule at the top and double check the Name matches. It should be a text field. Create a new one and change it in the script.
Hello, I was wondering if we could have a follow up on the whole “scripts are hosted on github and called via syncro”
I think that would be some super useful information, at least on the very simple thing of how are they calling the scripts, do you just keep 1:1 syncro scripts named for their github match, do you use any other variables or ways of tracking script completion/logging?
We began building this out after hearing about it, but are just guessing on how it would be implemented.
The recording and resources will be posted in this thread after the session — bookmark it now!
Use this space to ask questions in advance or share what you want us to cover live.
He’ll follow up as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.
