Rem Register Dll after copy

call %systemroot%\system32\regsvr32.exe /s %systemroot%\system32\mstscax.dll

Rem Registry Add (if you have a problem just make sure every line begins with "reg add")

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Low Rights\ElevationPolicy\{B43A0C1E-B63F-4691-B68F-CD807A45DA01}","AppName",,"TSWbPrxy.exe"

=====================================================

run the batch file and now you have RDP ver 7 on Windows 2003 server.

It is redundant to write that this is not supported by either Microsoft or me...

Thanks for Elad on this hack.

Enjoy.

Utilizing systeminfo to get info on a list of servers or workstation

Hi,

If you have a list of computers (servers or workstations) and need to get some info on them, for example Total Physical Memory you could use my script to get this info.

First put all the computer names in a file and name it servers.txt.
Then decide what property you want to get, the following properties are availble:
Host Name
OS Name:
OS Version
OS Manufacturer
OS Configuration
OS Build Type
Registered Owner
Registered Organization
Product ID
Original Install Date
System Boot Time
System Manufacturer
System Model
System Type
BIOS Version
Windows Directory
System Directory
Boot Device
System Locale
Input Locale
Time Zone
Total Physical Memory
Available Physical Memory
Virtual Memory: Max Size
Virtual Memory: Available
Virtual Memory: In Use
Page File Location(s)
Domain
Logon Server

(will work with only property that the output is 1 line)

The script:
===================================
@echo off
echo.
echo Type the SystemInfo attribute
echo you want to check:

set /P C=
del "%C%.txt"
for /f %%A in (servers.txt) do (
echo Server: %%A >> "%C%.txt"
systeminfo /s \\%%A | find "%C%:" >> "%C%.txt"
echo ------------------------------------------------------------------ >> "%C%.txt"
)
==================================

Install Software (mostly MS patches) by OS type

You want to install MS patch but there are 2 kind of patches, one for XP and one for Win2k3.
Here is a small script to let you do just this.
It basically query the registry for the OS type search for a string and run a program by the output.

=================================
reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ProductOptions find "WinNT"
if %errorlevel% == 0 (goto xp) else (goto server)
:xp
\\nt_dn\netlogon\timezonepatch\WindowsXP-KB955839.exe /quiet /norestart
goto end
:server
\\nt_dn\netlogon\timezonepatch\WindowsServer2003-KB955839.exe /quiet /norestart
:end
=================================

Enjoy...
