comment What the heck is going on with this AD filter in PowerShell?
Like and notlike seem to work similarly. {description -notlike "something"} does not work, but {-not (description -like "something")} does. Also the one that works takes considerably longer to evaluate. Like the broken one isn't evaluating all the objects it should.

Interesting that piping it through Where-object and applying the filter that doesn't work above works. get-aduser -filter * -Properties description| ?{$_.description -ne "Auto"} | measure

comment Any way from a command line to change the DNS suffix of a Win7 PC?
You can do it with powershell and get-wmiobject, but need to know what value you are actually looking to change as MDMarra said.

Never knew about get-hotfix. Great nugget of information there.

comment Unzip File With Powershell in Server 2012 Core
I just looked through System.IO.Compression and ZipFile isn't there. Is there an update to 4.5 that adds it?

If you don't know where that is run "netdom query fsmo" from a commandline and that will give you all the FSMO role holders.

comment How do I find orphaned computer objects in Active Directory using PowerShell?
Looked into it a little more and lastlogondate looks like it is just the conversion of lastlogontimestamp. There is no attribute called lastlogondate in the schema. Hope that helps.

comment How do I find orphaned computer objects in Active Directory using PowerShell?
I am going to have to look into to be 100% sure, but I know that lastlogondate is one of the attributes that is returned if you look at the object, passwordlastset is not. The technet article doesn't really detail which attribute it uses.

And with preferences you can have the printer removed without and extra script to do it.

comment How to create hotfolder solution
DFS sounds like the best answer. Pretty easy to implement and you have control over the "All" folders relatively easy if you had to add more. We had DFS going for our entire school district without many issues. The big one as Macs couldn't read DFS shares. I believe they solved that in OS 10.5 and later though.

comment AD Home Folder not reconnecting
On Error Resume next is in effect for the entire script. Normally you would set that at the top of the script when declaring your variables or script settings. So you do not need it that many times in a script.

I would use powershell. Much more friendly to do what you want.
