Enterprise Help Desk Dynamic Local Administrator

This application takes two strings and creates a calculated and complex password based on the input.   Now the local administrator’s password will be unique to each computer.

Here it is at screen launch:

A. The organization’s asset identification string.
B. The organization’s custom identification number.  Up to 10 digits long.
C. The selected password length for added complexity.
D. After all input is entered the user generates the complex password.
E. The result of the calculation.

Result:

The best part of this application is also supports it being used in the console.  This gives the application the ability to be scripted during an OSD build, deployed enterprise wide, or required update. Below is the console help menu and a PowerShell script I wrote to automate the process.  This is included in the *.zip file.

User Driven Installation (UDI) - Side-By-Side Migration

I have been working developing with the UDI editor in my test environment. As it stands right now I see no point in creating HTA files anymore.  The UDI wizard is awesome looks like .net framework windows, and you can customize the heck out of it. 

Here is my demo of my Side-By-Side migration.  

  

                                         

SCCM Admin Tools

I have created a new tool using the new SAPIEN PowerShell Studio 2012.

This tool will become more robust, but for right now all you can do is remotely start / stop / or check status of the SMSEXECUTIVE and WDSServer services on your SCCM sites.

You will be able to save the settings for the site server's name and site code.  You will want to use your central site if you have one.  Or the top most primary.

Here are some screenshots:

You can download the executable from here.  Get in touch with me if you have any other suggestions. Once I get the application to a certain goal I will release the source files.

SCCM-Commands

I have had the privilege of getting my hands on the SAPIEN PowerShell Studio 2012.  As a SCCM Administrator I have mostly focused right now on making my life easier on the job.  Cutting all the unnecessary process I need to do manually.  So if you are an SCCM Administrator and you love you some PowerShell than check this link out.
