I need a script to ping our entire address range and more. I have tried to do this myself but I cannot get my head around threading/batching the job. I'm currently using a VBscript that performs the ping using a wmic query, I don't believe this is the most efficient way at all but I haven't found the time to learn powershell. I need something lightweight and fast to preferably ping the whole 3 million addresses in less than 2 hours. My current script would take 277 hours. Input would be a CSV of all addresses. If you don't have time to write anything but you have some ideas on how this should be done I would appreciate your reply.

Edit: I'm well aware of the risks in doing this and we won't be killing our network. I think I have found a tool that will work (fping). Phrasing the output is not an issue.

So I am new to PowerShell and although I have Googled and whatnot, still failed to find a proper script.

Can anyone please help me with a script that will help:

1. To get all the files Full Path/Name, Size of the file, Last Access Time, Last Modified Date, Date Created. Permissions will be a plus.

2. To not have the path too long error.

This will be used to run on a NTFS File Share with about 40 TB of data. Please help! All the scripts that I found are not working properly.

I made this script because new users might be confused when setting up arch after installing with archinstall and breaking their system.

(This is my first coding project so i might have made mistakes)

If you have any questions don't feel afraid of asking me ;)

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to streamline some routine IT tasks by creating a script that automates the following steps once executed:

1. Update Software:

   • Set Power plan to never sleep/hibernate, or shut off display. Our speficifc one is called "Hi Power IT" which comes pre put due to the imag.

   • Perform Windows Update to ensure the system is up-to-date.

   • Check for updated drivers using Lenovo Vantage after Windows updates are complete. (If possible not too worried about this)

   • Remove outlook(new) and use old outlook, same for teams..

2. Verify and Install Applications:

   • Confirm the presence of Endpoint Central, Sentinel One, Firefox, and Foxit Reader.

   • Install VLC Media Player, Office 365, Teams, and 7zip if they are not already installed.

3. System Maintenance:

   • Remove Copiloit/Hide co pilot, hide the news and all those windows extras the aren't neceassary

   • Delete the folder named "Temp" from the main C drive (not %temp%).

   • Disable IPv6.

   • Verify domain and activation status.

   • Run Disk Cleanup to free up space.

I'm relatively new to scripting, and while I have some basic knowledge, creating a comprehensive script for these tasks is beyond my current capabilities. I'm hoping to get some guidance or perhaps even a sample script that I can adapt to fit our environment.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

This is a powershell script I wrote based on someone else's example. It's intended to be used in conjunction with task scheduler and meant to run in the background. Its purpose is to backup a specific folder in regular intervals. It's supposed to copy the folder to a specified destination, compress it to a zip file and then delete the original non-zipped copy. It's also supposed to retain and maintain only the last seven copies.

However it doesn't always delete the original non zipped copies, (works about half the time) nor does it run in the background or exit powershell when finished. It will pull up the Powershell window every single time the script runs. It's especially irritating when I'm gaming in full screen mode because it will disable it to run the script. Normally, it'll just pop up over or behind any other window I have open.

I'm fairly new to scripting and have only written a few simple scripts so far, so I'm not entirely sure where I went wrong or how to go about fixing it. Any assistance would be appreciated.

## Requirements & Dependencies

- `cmd2`: CLI framework

- `regex`: Advanced regular expressions

- `pandas`: Excel file handling

- `openpyxl`: Excel support

- `win32clipboard`: Clipboard access (Windows)

Auto-installed on first run.

## Performance Tips

- **Large files**: Disable highlighting with the `Highlight` toggle in Live View

- **Complex regex**: Test patterns with `show` before `replace`

- **Bulk operations**: Use `select` first to reduce processing scope

- **Memory**: Process files in sections rather than all at once

## Troubleshooting

**Issue: Clipboard not working**

- Ensure clipboard content is plain text

- Use `load "file.txt"` as alternative

**Issue: Regex not matching**

- Use `cheat_sheet_regex` for pattern help

- Test simple patterns first

- Remember to escape special characters

**Issue: Large file is slow**

- Disable highlighting in Live View

- Use `select` to work with smaller subsets

- Consider processing in multiple passes

**Issue: Special characters causing issues**

- Use special placeholders: `[pipe]`, `[tab]`, `[spaces]`

- Or escape with backslash: `\\|`, `\\t`

## Best Practices

1. **Always preview before save**: Use `show` to verify changes

2. **Use revert frequently**: Test operations knowing you can undo

3. **Save intermediate results**: Keep backups of important stages

4. **Test regex patterns**: Start simple, build complexity gradually

5. **Document your workflow**: Save command history for reference

6. **Use comments**: Add notes between operations for clarity

I hate emoticons on Skype and I would like to disable them. You can disable emoticons in settings but it's only from your own side. There is a thing you can do to send a text smilie in Skype and it's not going to convert to emoticon.

You type : then you add white space and then you add the last part of the smilie

Hello, I have built a totally free chatGPT extension. It basically wraps chatGPT to make it look like a workplace where you can

Create folders, which can be very effective when it comes to logical organisation, you can create folders for work, personal stuff. Assign your history chats to your folder, which helps organise your experience with chatgpt. Manage prompts and save them for later use (only typing p: ) will show you all your available prompts. You can also drag and drop message to into folder to assign it The extension is very lightweight and does not affect the default user experience for chatgpt users Find it on chrome store now: MoreChatGPT

Cheers everyone

Hi,

Some time ago I wrote a PowerShell module called FileInspectorX. I had a need to detect file type and estimate how dangerous it is based on well it's extension, content without use of antivirus or virustotal.

Today I've upgraded it with Magika (offline LLM) from Google so it's even better in detecting what we're dealing with.

Usually Install-Module FileInspectorX works and then:

$I = Get-FileInsight -Path "YourFile"

It has multiple views so people can really get what they need. Here's how the default output looks like:

Hi Guys and Gals!

I'm looking for a script that rates a servers health on a scale, Ideally 1-100 or suchlike, I need it to rate the server based on a few factors.

1. Free Disk Space

2. Ram Usage

3. CPU Usage

The idea of this is so I can have a dashboard so if a servers health rating drops I know it isn't ok

Thanks!

Hey all.

Just wanting some help with a script if it's possible.

I'm wanting a script that can enable dhcp itself without any user input. It's going to be used to hopefully allow people to quickly fix an Internet connection problem.

So for the script. I'm needing a few criteria. Needs to be a batch file.

So this script will hopefully be able to detect all network adapters after running and store the names.

Then allow an option for the user to select the adapter. The script will then enable dhcp automatically.

I am willing to commission for this script.

Any help would be great

Thanks

I used to waste time manually renaming files — especially when batch downloading images or scans. I wrote this Python one-liner to rename every file in a folder with a consistent prefix + number.

Here’s the snippet:

```python

import os

for i, f in enumerate(os.listdir()):

os.rename(f, f"renamed_{i}.jpg")

If this saved you time, you can say thanks here: https://buy.stripe.com/7sYeVf2Rz1ZH2zhgOq

Hey there, I really need your help. I wrote a script that install msi file and I used GPO to distribute it to all the computers in the domain but this script can't run without administrator permissions. maybe someone know how can I run it with my credentials?

Thanks!

Looking for a script that I can hand out to a handful of our techs to setup static IPs. I would like to preset the DNS server, subnet mask, gateway.

I also need to append the DNS's in order.

Thanks everyone

Hi guys, Some time ago i saw a website with several IT scripts for windows to download, there was a short explanation of the script and usually both versions to turn configuration on and off. I've been trying to find it for a while now, maybe you guys can help. I vaguely remember the background being black. There was more than one script that i took from there to configure a machine about an year ago... Please help. Thanks in advance!

I have just finished this script to keep track of different versions of files.

To use it:

Edit values of 'ItemsToCheck' & 'ItemsToIgnore' in FileVersions_Example.
Copy 'FileVersions_Example' and 'FileVersions_Main' to a $PATH directory.
Use cron to run 'FileVersions_Example' every day (or every hour).
Check output in '$HOME/var'.

FileVersions_Example

FileVersions_Main

EDIT: Removed 'new Repository directory name' bug in 'FileVersions_Main'.
