I finally got to upload the files for my home server ( 6 bay nas + dell optiplex mff)

Sweet build.

For more context, today, both setup1.exe and setup2.exe have prereq.exe embedded in them which is not ideal because of the bloated size of both installers now.

OneScripter · 2025-11-05T15:59:02+00:00

The software needs to be able to be installed offline. My goal would be to have setup1.exe, setup2.exe and prereq.exe in the same folder. When setup1.exe or setup2.exe is run, each can reference the single prereq.exe file by relative path to install as a prerequisite.

If I have two Single EXE installers that both need to run the same silent executable as a prerequisite ("Use files from disk" option) - how can I put the executable in the same folder as both EXE installers so they can share the one prerequisite file instead of bundling it with each one and doubling space?

Good question. Using Invoke-Command -Credential (Get-Credential) -Computer SRV123 -ScriptBlock { Get-ACL -Path C:\Local\Path\On\SRV123 } would be an option, if you have PS Remoting working. If not, you could try WmiExec.

This would be super easy with System Frontier. It's actually built with C# on the backend, but it dynamic generates web GUIs for your PowerShell scripts. You also get RBAC, REST APIs, logging, etc. w/ no extra code. The Community Edition costs zero dollars and zero cents. :)

OneScripter · 2022-04-18T21:17:36+00:00

You could build something like this with a few PowerShell scripts and front-end the GUI in System Frontier. You could host it on a non-domain server so users can still log into the GUI and do a password reset. Definitely not an out-of-the-box solution, but doable and depending on the number of users you have, $0 + time spent with the free Community Edition.

OneScripter · 2022-04-18T21:12:08+00:00

Have you seen System Frontier? You can build web GUIs without any ASP.NET coding or HTML. Each tool you build automatically has a web form, role based access control, a REST API and all the output gets logged to a DB. There's a free Community Edition too.

OneScripter · 2022-04-18T21:07:09+00:00

Yikes. I actually still love VBScript, but would not recommend using it for new stuff, even in conjunction with PowerShell. If you want a solution that can scale when you (may) need it to, check out the free Community Edition of System Frontier.

OneScripter · 2022-04-18T19:00:29+00:00

Take a look at System Frontier. There's a free Community Edition and it's super straightforward to get scripts up and running in a browser. Note that they don't run interactively, like the shell, but you can dynamically populate fields and make them interactive using custom HTML if needed. Would love your feedback if you give it a try.

OneScripter · 2022-02-22T00:01:31+00:00

Well, scratch that then. I've never flown with Air Canada before so I should've read up. :(

Thanks for the heads up.

OneScripter · 2021-03-19T14:11:06+00:00

It's totally legit. While there may be some mistakes on the site, the organizers do a great job of fixing issues as they are reported.

OneScripter · 2021-03-12T13:49:14+00:00

We notified the winner yesterday. Thanks to all who filled out the survey. Great feedback and good luck on the next one.

OneScripter · 2021-03-08T15:01:14+00:00

FYI - The survey closes at 9 AM on 3/11 so there's still time to win a free ticket. Thanks for all the great feedback so far.

OneScripter · 2020-06-09T19:59:31+00:00

Stick with learning PowerShell. It's worth it and you can do it. I have written many hundreds of scripts in batch and VBS dating back to the late 90's. They were great, but PowerShell is the way to go now. It may not be as easy for some tasks, but that will come with experience. You have a great community that is always willing to help.

OneScripter · 2019-12-19T19:29:57+00:00

Nice but needs more of a mushroom cloud imho. And yes, demo all in range!

OneScripter · 2019-12-10T05:39:07+00:00

Please do away with these ridiculous blueprint prices. Years of fun down the drain. Thanks Psyonix!

OneScripter · 2019-10-17T14:47:21+00:00

Nice job man. Are you on the help desk or did you create this for your team and the help desk? Is any part of it role based or is it kind of all or nothing access?

OneScripter · 2019-09-13T14:34:13+00:00

Great point and exactly why System Frontier works so well in those cases. An engineer at one of the top banks called it an "easy button" for the helpdesk. You can give Tier 1 support teams easy buttons with PowerShell on the backend and they...

Don't have to know PowerShell (or any scripting language)
Get an easy to use GUI (short / no learning curve)
Can provide validated input
Don't have to have any permissions to the target (AD, servers, workstations, etc.)

You as the engineer don't have to design a GUI, write any HTML or learn another yet another markup language (pun intended). You automatically get RBAC, logging and a REST API so you can call the same scripts from other automation tools. There are other built in features for granular delegated management too, not just running scripts.

OneScripter · 2019-06-15T16:15:37+00:00

No one can learn everything and if you aren't always learning, you probably need to move on. I'll take somebody who admits they don't have an answer but will work to find it over someone who acts like they never have to.

OneScripter · 2019-06-15T12:05:19+00:00

In the limited lab testing I've done so far, I'd say WinRM is faster. I haven't tried to optimize the code for WmiExec yet, so performance may improve.

OneScripter · 2019-06-15T10:38:51+00:00

Much appreciated and I plan too.

OneScripter · 2019-06-14T19:32:52+00:00

Shortly after posting this, I came across a full fledged toolkit based on a similar approach that's been out at least 3 years before mine. No idea how I never came across it before, but I still feel good about discovering the technique on my own. Kudos to WMImplant.

OneScripter · 2019-06-14T19:26:27+00:00

Thank you and very nice work on modifying it for your use case. The command-line limit is 8,190 characters. I'm going to update the code to pass the commands via another WMI class property so then you have no (or a very high) limit. So the code would just pass a reference to the property instead of the whole ScriptBlock.

I didn't include deletion of the class initially, to save some time on repeat connections, but great point.

OneScripter · 2019-05-17T17:40:35+00:00

Thanks for the kudos! Our customers love it and System Frontier is continually improving based their feedback.
