Systems Centre Endpoint Protection Exclusion Gotchas

http://blogs.technet.com/b/systemcenterpfe/archive/2012/11/29/system-center-2012-configuration-manager-antivirus-exclusions.aspx

Just be aware that if you use the inbuilt templates to configure SCEP exclusions the XML's assume that you have installed the products in their default locations.. I in our case we install most products elsewhere apart from the default installation directories.

It's easy enough to create a copy of the XML and use powershell or notepad's find and replace to update the XML to point to the correct locations.

Fix:
Be aware if you configure any Advanced Security Policies in GPO for clients this will stop any simple Security policies settings from applying  to clients. Use one or the other not both as they don't like to co-exist.

Poweshell Send-MailMessage, sending an e-mail in one line of code

In powershell 2.0 you would of had to write function to send an e-mail from powershell. Lucky for us in Powershell 3.0 it's

Poweshell 3.0 

Send-MailMessage -To $Mailto -From "XYZ@XYZ.com.au" -Subject "XYZ" -SmtpServer "XYZ" -Body "TEST" -Attachments XYZ.csv

Powershell 2.0
Sendmail

 function sendMail{
     Write-Host "Sending Email"
     #SMTP server name
     $smtpServer = "smtpXXXX"
     #Creating a Mail object
     $msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage
     #Creating SMTP server object
     $smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)
     #Attachment
     $att = new-object Net.Mail.Attachment($OUTfile)
     #Email structure
     $msg.From="test@XYZ.com.au"
     $msg.ReplyTo ="test@XYZ.com.au"
     $msg.To.Add("XYZ.XYZ@XYZ.com.au")
     $msg.subject = "TEST"
     $msg.body = "This is the email Body."

How to get SSRS reports working in Google Chrome

1. On your SSRS server locate the  ReportingServices.js file. Normally you can find it in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportManager\js\ReportingServices.js"
2. Edit the file, append this to the end of the file 
   

   function pageLoad() {    
       var element = document.getElementById("ctl31_ctl09");
       if (element) 
       {
           element.style.overflow = "visible"; 
       } }

Test a report.

My Plasma Ball sets of my smoke alarm

I turned on my plasma ball that my dad gave me years ago,, then the smoke alarm went bezerk. I wonder what is happening to cause this.

I suspect the high frequency and high voltage of the plasma ball may be knocking the protons that the smoke alarm uses sense if there is smoke in the room or not off course (normally smoke particles would do this).

Powershell Export-CSV as FileName with Date

Exporting data from powershell in to CSV format is easy. We can use the 'export-csv' cmdlet. However I got stuck trying to append the date to the filename of the CSV.

The tricky bit that I got stuck on was when i tried Get-date I tried like this thinking it would work.

$users | Export-Csv c:\temp\LNCUS-$(Get-Date -format dd-MM-yyyy) .csv -NoTypeInformation  

This failed with the following error

The error happens because the output from Get-Date is not in a string format. To fix this we just need to convert the date format to string by doing the following

$users | Export-Csv c:\temp\LNCUS-$((Get-Date).ToString('MM-dd-yyyy')).csv -NoTypeInformation

How to stop a Windows 7 PC from locking

You can stop a Windows 7 PC from locking by changing the following registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
Create a new DWORD 32-bit value named DisableLockWorkstation and give it one of these values:• 1 – Disable Lock Workstation• 0 – Enable Lock Workstation

I found when testing this I did not need to restart for this setting to take effect. 

I found out this registry key the hard way when using a Lenovo BIOS update utility. When the Utility is updating the BIOS it locks the keyboard and mouse and also inserts that setting into the registry. However, it did not remove the registry key after the BIOS update. Therefore I was unable to lock my PC until I found out why.

Random network dropouts on Lenovo T410 and X201

I was getting random network dropouts on X201 and T410 Lenovo laptops. Throughout the day users would report  that the NIC simply dropped. Rebooting fixes the issue in most cases.

Turns out both these models use the same hardware "Intel 82577LM" so something is up.

I compared settings to various other network cards and found the only real difference was that the 'receive buffers' were set to '80'.

Setting the 'Receive Buffers' to '256' seems to fix the dropout issue.

- Lock screen widgets.
- Daydream feature
- Keyboard seems to be much quicker than before (Keyboard input was an issue in the older update)
- Task manager now takes up the whole screen and has moved to horizontal format (I don't think this is any better)

Speed wise I don't see much difference Chrome app is still VERY VERY slow. Switching apps is still slow.

Power Consumption in TV's vs overall cost.

"One other trade-off against LCD is that the TV uses considerably more power. Samsung rates this TV at 4.5 stars. Our measures suggested 5.5. Either way, this is much less than current model LCDs, which are typically rated at 7 or 8 stars. This TV might cost you something like AU$100 a year more to run."

That above quote says that running a plasma TV is will cost you more per year to run and this is generally true. But then you have to factor in the original purchase price as well. have a look at the catalogue below. To Purchase the series 8 plasma it's $1996 and the series 8 LED is $3796  this plays a part in to factoring how much that TV will cost you over its lifetime..

It's still cheaper in this case to buy the plasma as even if you get 10 years out of the plasma you still come in cheaper over all when you factor in original purchase price and running costs.

What I am trying to say is that even though running costs of LED's are probably cheaper the total cost of ownership still ways towards purchasing a plasma at this stage.

Hyper-V Slow Network on HP DL380 G7's

To me it seems the Hyper-V Virtual switch is just slow on these models

I can build a desktop with Windows 8 and install the Hyper-V tools and run up desktop much faster than I can on  the HP DL380's.

Maybe it's the Broadcom cards in the server.

Microsoft InfoPath error "The form cannot be loaded because infopath .net programmability support could not be installed automatically

This error means you probably don't have the required component installed for infopath. You don't have to reinstall office to fix this.

- Open Control Panel
- Goto Programs

- Right click goto 'change'
- Choose Add or Remove Features, click 'Continue'.
- Open the Feature for 'Microsoft Infopath'
- Right click .NET Programmability Support, Choose run from computer.

Done.

You can also fix this using and XML file which can come in handy for an SCCM deployment.

Create an XML with the following

Save as Infopath.xml and save it in the Office\Config folder (where you source files are).

Then to call it, use:

setup.exe /config .\config\Infopath.xml
