ezAdmin

A set of scripts to make life easier for SysAdmins in large environments.

Requirements and Dependencies

• On Windows, some scripts require Active Directory Domain Services, Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) and/or at least PowerShell 5.1.

Usage Instructions

Just choose a script and run it! Some may work locally, others remotely if there is an Active Directory domain.

• Close-UserSession.bat: Logs off an user locally or remotely

  Close-UserSession username [computer]

• Set-InitialKeyboardIndicators.bat: Sets the initial keyboard indicators for the current user or all users

  Set-InitialKeyboardIndicators value [all]
  
  # value: some integer (0 to disable Numlock, 2 to enable it; supports any other integer value)
  
  # all: applies to all user profiles, including standard and system profiles; otherwise only the current user
  
  # Example to disable NumLock according to the computer model
  SYSTEMINFO | FIND /I "computer-model" && Set-InitialKeyboardIndicators 0 all

• Uninstall-AnyDesk.bat: Detects and silently uninstalls AnyDesk

• Uninstall-TeamViewer.bat: Detects and silently uninstalls TeamViewer

• Convert-AdSidToHex.ps1: Converts an AD SID to hexadecimal format

  .\Convert-AdSidToHex "S-1-5-21-3623811015-3361044348-30300820-1013"

• Set-BgImages.ps1: Change the desktop and lock screen background image on any edition of Windows 10 and 11

  .\Set-BgImages [-LockScreenImage <"network-path-to-the-image">] [-DesktopImage <"network-path-to-the-image">] [-LogPath "log-folder-network-path"]
  
  # Example
  .\Set-BgImages -LockScreenImage "\\srvfs01\folder\LockScreen.png" -DesktopImage "\\srvfs01\folder\Desktop.png" -LogPath "\\srvfs01\folder"

Tips and tricks

• If you notice changes or increments that could be beneficial for some use case, start a discussion or submit a pull request!
• For some scripts, you must first enable and configure PSRemoting, WinRM, Firewall, etc.
• Remember: unlike Batchfiles, PowerShell scripts require the ".\" prefix to run!
