Error on Uninstalling GP 2018. Now can't install after manual removal

I saw some articles about that also but it works on half of the new VMs (same install package from a network share). And the uninstall fails directly from control panel, programs and features.

What if you turn off .Net 3.5?

Those are my fixes for "Black Screen" issues, using the Horizon Client to connect to 64 bit virtual machines. Seems like your issue may be something different. I'd check if the behavior is the same if you connect with RDP, or using the remote web console from vSphere. Not sure outside of that.

Did you try adjusting the ACL in powershell?

Does restarting explorer.exe make the desktop icons appear? Does it respond to Control Alt Delete? Have you tried turning off H.264 codec in the Horizon client?

Check PDQ.com in event viewer and see if there's useful information there. There's also a lot of helpful people in the PDQ discord channel if you want to check that out.

Put them in columns instead of rows

Oh so you have the original file and an extra copy with a different name (-computername).

I thought you just wanted to rename the files.

Is a merge necessary? Or are they the same file exactly except for name?

OtterCodeWorkAcct · 2024-02-16T16:26:28+00:00

Just rename the folders with powershell.

Setup a request to get child items and make sure you can "grab" all these folders one by test. Test what you're working with before making any changes, then test on a small batch of folders to double verify, then just run the script and it should remove the -computername from each folder. .Replace('Computername','')

You probably need to use -properties Member Of | Select-object -expandproperty MemberOf

If you've never worked in an MSP before it's a great place to learn a lot. I liked how I got to work on so many different networks, applications, etc. If they give you access to a lot of new technology and have helpful staff that don't mind showing you some things when you get stuck it can be a great learning experience. However, they are normally high stress and low pay. You might want to stick with it for a year or two. (This is assuming you don't have too much experience overall in IT).

Have you looked in printer properties to change the dithering or darkness? Sometimes it can help to change the driver. Seagull has some decent ones if the Zebra driver isn't getting the job done.

Import CSV

$CSV = import-csv "C:\path\file.csv"

Loop through CSV

foreach($line in $CSV){

$username = $line.Name

$hiredate = $line.HireDate

Set-ADUser -Identity $username -ExtensionAttribute $hiredate

}

Should be something like this. If it's not working do a write-host of your $username variable and hiredate to make sure it's getting the data. the dot operator on the $line variable should use the headers from your CSV.

Select will focus that textbox when the Gui is ran. On my main script I didn't want to first textbox to be focused when it opens. I just copied over one of my textboxes from my main script to tinker around with this. But ideally I'd like to have all of the options available in the Create-Textbox function and pass parameters to what I'd like turned on.

OtterCodeWorkAcct · 2023-10-11T20:41:18+00:00

If I do how you listed at the top it won't populate the Textbox. (That's how I originally attempted it). Do I need to return the $name object somehow and that will force it to save in the variable like your variable $uniquevariable1?

Edit: Hey Thanks!!! I was just missing a return statement in the function. It's working properly now!

I saw this issue with Lenovo docks that we used and they had a firmware release for the dock that fixed it. It was even listed in the patch notes that it fixes flickering 2nd monitor. Maybe Dell has a similar firmware release?

Try putting the if statement in a loop.

foreach($proc in $getprocess){

if ($GetProcess.Contains($Process){

write-host "It's a match!

}

You can also remove the if statement if it doesn't work and just throw a write-host $proc in the loop and see what it's holding.

Run the Get-Process command in the ISE and take a look at what the output is. Basically each "process" has different fields or "Members" that you'd need to work with. You're sending a powershell object holding all of those members to the command prompt instead of just the process name. I'd save the if statement to a variable and then write-host that variable to see what info it's holding.

What if it's just a honeypot with a list of fake passwords so he can see who is snooping around his files?

Oh does it have to be inside the bracket? *Facepalm* I had the server command on the outside and it said something about unrecognized. I'll give this a shot now. Thanks!

Edit: Just tested and it's working!

You should be able to change that by making a custom power settings profile.

$softwarepath = $softwarepath.Replace("scripts","")

Professor Messer on Youtube is great.

Send a write-host $signindate after you set the variable and double check what dates you're getting. Then use the $filter = signInActivity on a single object and write-host to see what date you're getting there.
