command line to use acldiag.exe/How to take a report on Active Directory (AD) delegation permissions per OU/Site/Group/object.

   Microsoft provides a free command line utility called acldiag.exe to by which we can generate a report like log based on the permissions and delegation assigned to Ou's/groups/objects in active directory.


  we ca even give input from a text file if you need to take report on multiple Ou's. The text file must contains Ou names.

   let's see that ...

here we will see an example code to take permission report for multiple Ou's in a domain. the names of the OU's will be given to batch file through a text file.

Download support tools from http://www.microsoft.com/download and install it in your computer.

for /f %%a in (c:\users\delphin\desktop\list.txt) do (
acldiag "ou=%%a,dc=domain,dc=com" >>c:\users\delphin\desktop\log.txt
)

Copy the above code and paste it into a notepad file, replace "domain" with your domain name, replace "c:\users\delphin\desktop\list.txt" with the text file containing the list of OUs in your domain.

Replace "c:\users\delphin\desktop\log.txt" with the location where you want the log file to be saved. And rename it to adreport.bat.

The file list.txt must contain the list of the name of the OU's, as one OU name in a line.

The log.txt will contain the details as in the following screenshot.

Hope this helps..

  Psiexec.exe is a nice, handy command line utility given by Microsoft through which we can run batch commands remotely to remote computer.

  Consider a situation when you need to run a specific or a set commands to multiple no of computers remotely from your computer across your LAN.

  This script described in this post will fetch computer names from a text file and run commands remotely with psiexec.exe command line utility...

 Let's say that you need to renew ip address in many computers across your LAN,

First thing you need to do is to download ps tools from http://technet.microsoft.com , extract the zip file and past all the files to c:\windows\syste32\ folder.

Then copy the below command lines and paste to a text file. rename it to ipenew.cmd

for /f %%a in (c:\users\delphin\desktop\list.txt) do (
psexec \\%%a ipconfig /renew
)

replace "delphin" with your login profile, make a text file with list of computer names or ip address (one computer name in a line)

That's it. Double click the iprenew.cmd file to run it from your computer. That will take the computers names from the text file and will run the ipconfig /renew command in each of those computers.


Hope this helps..

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x86)/(x64) Failed - Installation aborted, Result=1619 While installing autodesk 2012 products

Some of my friends are started using Autodesk 2012 products and almost everybody came across the error stated as in the title. In Autodesk forums everybody suggested a clean install.

  But that will me most painful thing when they have other prior versions on Autodesk products.

  After a bit of research i was able to help them out without uninstalling previous versions of Autodesk products. sharing the solution  may help my blog readers...


For all of my friends the Autodesk 2012 products failed because the setup failed to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x86)/(x64).  So i checked in installed programs to find the instances of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x86)/(x64) .

   surprisingly there were more that 6-7 instances of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005/2008 Redistributable (x86)/(x64) . So i decided to uninstall all of them through control panel.

  Once i removed all the instances of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005/2008 Redistributable (x86)/(x64) ,I re-registered msiexec.exe through the below command line options in command prompt.

msiexec.exe -unreg
msiexec.exe -regserver

Restarted the computer and started the installation again, Voila!! Installation finished without any error or warning message. Hope this helps..

Download Microsoft Windows 8 Developer Preview Build 8102 M3 32/64 bit

  Microsoft Windows 8 developer preview build 8102 32/64 bit is available for download from official Microsoft website.

  Windows 8 is not only the next version of Microsoft's familiar desktop interface, but is also the company's answer to the challenge of tablets too. That’s a difficult pair of challenges to straddle and not everything about the new interface is a success. This is also definitely pre-beta software that needs more development work, but we expected that...


  The good news for businesses is that Windows 8 is still a fully-capable desktop operating system with full compatibility and even more security, visualization and remote access options, but with the touchscreen support so many users want. Most users shouldn’t need a new PC to run it, though they may well want a new one for touch. For some workers, iPads and Android tablets can’t replace a PC; with Windows 8 Microsoft could deliver an option that gives business users the best of both worlds. Read more from the original article

  The Microsoft Windows 8 Developer Preview Build 8102 M3 32/64 bit can be downloaded from the below links available.

Download 32 bit version of Microsoft Windows 8 Developer Preview Build 8102 in iso format

How to recover when Wscommcntr1.exe/Wscommcntr2.exe eats up CPU resource and system hangs with Autodesk products installed

 Hey folks, In my previous post we discussed about the error message with Revit and navis in one of my friends computer. The same guy is using Autocad 2012 in his computer and experience drastic performance variation some times.

 He was reporting that even though he has 8Gb of RAM installed in his computer, It is freakingly hangs when he is working with Autocad 2012.

 Let see how to stop that nonsense...


 The first thing I did was, I checked in task manager for any unusual activity and found that Wscommcntr1.exe is eating up almost half of the CPU resources. Then I searched for the information about the (Wscommcntr1.exe) process in internet. then i found that the process Wscommcntr1.exe is a part Autodesk Communication Center module. Then i decided to turn off that feature.

The below procedure will help u to turn that feature off.


Open regedit by typing regedit.exe in run and hitting enter. In the regedit windows navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R18.2\ACAD-A030:409\CadManagerControl\CommunicationCenter. In the right pane,

i)   Double click on EnableCommunicationCenter , put 00 in value data and click ok.
ii)  Double click on EnableNonPatchNotifications , put 00 in value data and click ok.
iii) Double click on MaintenancePatchNotificationOption , put 00 in value data and click ok.

 Once you edit the following values restart your computer and try working with Autocad.

If you have any queries please leave it in the comment section. Hope this helps...

How to recover Revit cannot run the external command "Navisworks 2010/2011/2012" error in revit Structure/Architecture

  A friend of mine called up and asked me to correct an issue he is facing with Autodesk revit structure 2010 suite, while he is trying to use Navis manage 2010 exporter plugin.

 whenever he tries to load the Navis exporter 2010 as an add-in, he gets this error message.

 He was on a 64 bit windows box, with both revit structure 2010 and Navis manage 2010 installed...


After a small research i realized as u can see in the error screen attached, Revit structure 2010 64 bit, tries to load Nwexportrevit2010_7.dll from c:\program files(x86)\common files\Autodesk shared\navisworks\2010\Nwexportrevit2010 . Which means revit 2010 64 bit tries to load navis 2010 32 bit dll file in a windows 7 64 bit box. That's where it's stuck.

  I checked in control panel and found both navis exporter 32 bit and 64 bit plugin were installed in his computer. And revit took 32 bit plugin as default and tries to load it.

  Then i just removed navis exporter plugin 32 bit from his computer through programs and features wizard and restarted his computer.

  Voila!! after that restart revit can load the navis exporter plugin without any problem.

  Thought i would share this information with u guys. If you have any queries leave it in the comment section.

  Hope this helps.

How to rectify "unable to communicate with the reporting component" in sepm server

Hey friens, Recnetly was installing Altiris IT management sollutions through symantec installation manager to test it's ability in my organization's environment, But as a part of pre request check it asked me to configure script mappings for IIS. I did as it said and it passed the pre request check. Successfully installed altiris IT management sollutions. Thank god. I did it..


But when i open my symantec endpoint protection  management console, i was shocked as it display "Unable to communicate to reporting commponent" error when i login to my console and there were a white blank screen on HOME, MONITOR and REPORTS tab. Oh my god, i forgot i had sepm console in the same server, and now i made a mess in IIS...

Found many procedures to troubleshoot this issue, None of them worked for me.

Tried resetting IIS, Tried reconfiguring ODBC, tried restoring apppoolsettings in IIS blah, blah..... None of them set that right.

So i decided to go ahead with repairing sepm installation as i cannot let that error persists for one or two days and open a support case in symantec. Because i had configured almost 12 scheduled reports that run daily.

As i was ready to repair sepm installation i took database backup and keystore backup, as i might need it later to restore if anything goes wrong.

Started repair, after 5-10 mins it asked me to reconfigure sepm, I specified same configurations as i had set my server earlier. Volia my console came online again. The scheduled reports are also working now.. Thanks to repair. :)

Hope this post helps you..

   Login to your computer as ad administrator. Type secpol.msc in run and hit enter to open local security policy. Click on continue if UAC prompts...

  Expand local Policies>User right assignment, in the right pane double click on Change the system time to edit it.

  By default, Administrators and Local service will be having the permissions. To ad a standard user or a group, Click on add user or Group(marked as 1).  Then click on object type at the top right. Put a check mark on Groups if you want to add a group(marked as 2).

  Type Users and click on check names(marked a s 3). Once the group name is resolved, click on Ok in all opened windows to accept the change. You can even add a single user name if you don't want to add user group.

  That's it now login as a standard user, and you will be able to change the system data and time..

  You can even manage this security policy through GPO if you are inside a domain network. Need to edit your GPO as below.

Hope this will help you...

  To make your pen drive bootable you need to download and install the latest version of Ultra ISO , and you must have windows 7 or windows vista dvd image in .iso format. If you have a dvd with vista or Windows 7 you can make .iso image using ultra ISO...

  Open Ultra ISO application by clicking the shortcut(If you are using vista or windows 7 right click the shortcut and select run as administrator). Open your windows 7 or vista .iso dvd image through file menu of Ultra ISO.
  Once you opened the .iso image select Bootable>WriteDiskImage

  Select the USB drive you want to make it as bootable. Click format, and format the drive using ntfs partition. Then click on write to begin the process.

  Once the process is completed, you can remove the drive from your computer and start installing with that pen drive.

  Hope this helps...

How to recover "cannot create the window" error in Visual studio 2010 (Vs2010)

    I got this error recently, while configuring visual studio 2010 for one of my client. But he has visual studio 2008, and it's working flawlessly. While opening vs2010 alone the error "cannot create the window" appears, and vs2010 doesn't open.

    As it did not happen earlier and vs 2008 is working well, i though the problem must be either with the installation or with the third party add in installed. So I started reinstalling it.

    Even after re installation of vs2010, the same error pops and vs2010 doesn't open. Then i started digging the information about the add ins installed. After two hrs of hopeless browsing and r&d, I was tired and wanted to take some rest...

   After some time something strike my mind, and i started to feel that, the problem is lying with .net framework 4 and related updates. First i tried to uninstall .net framework 4 extended and it failed as we need to uninstall .net framework 4 client profile first. I could not uninstall the .net framework 4 extended even after removal of .net framework 4 client profile.

    I downloaded the .net framework cleanup tool and with the help of this tool i succeeded uninstalling .net framework 4 components.

   After a couple of restart the .net framework 4 components installed through windows update. Finally voila, VS 2010 started to work like a charm.

  The corrupted .net 4 components did not affect VS 2008 as it uses 3.5 components.
