PowerShell HTML System Report

I’ve been playing with HTML in PowerShell and ended creating not so bad script including function that creates HTML report with system info for a remote computer/server.

Special thanks to Ansgar Wiechers and StackOverflow How to use: From the script folder (start powershell as admin) The entire package can be downloaded from the link below: Get-SystemReport

Microsoft Windows Security Audit Event Accesses IDs

I’m working on a powershell script extracting the file server audit log and creating a human readable html out of it when I got stumbled by the beautiful codes below (which are really hard to find) and decided that they deserve a re-post.

SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:wrong version number or similar

After experiencing a pfsense log overflow with SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:wrong version number, SSL: 1 error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol and similar errors for a while I finally figured a way to reduce them to the more reasonable level by simply checking Disable webConfigurator redirect rule in the advanced settings. There are still some errors in the log though, however, way less than before. Remarks – Captive Portal is disabled, webConfigurator is accessible from Internet, pfsense version is 2.2.5-RELEASE (amd64) – there is a setting to completely disable lighthttpd logging (as it was before version 2) under settings of the system log

Windows 8/8.1 Moving Icons

Lately I was really annoyed from my moving icons – after every login all of my icons were moving left – it turns out that the solution is easy – untick “Align Icons To Grid” and “Auto Arange Icons” (right click o nthe desktop –>View), that’s it, done 🙂
