Powershell Script to check HP Warranty information for PC’s and Laptops

Powershell Script to check HP Warranty information for PC’s and Laptops

Powershell HP Warranty

Registering for the HP Developer Warranty API

In order for this script to work you will need to register on the HP Developer portal and gain access to the HP Warranty API.  Once registered you will be given your own HP API Key and Secret.  For more information on how to do this, please see here:

https://developers.hp.com/hp-client-management/doc/warranty-api-keys-0


What does this Script do?

The first part of the script will query the local computer or laptop to obtain the Product Number and Serial Number of the PC. 

It will then Query the HP Warranty API using your API Key for the following information:

Product Model
Warranty Status
Warranty Start Date
Warranty End Date
Warranty Service Level

The Second part of the Script will then email this information to an email address of your choice.  You will have to specify your Email Settings within the Script.

Note – This will NOT work for HPE Servers as they have a different HPE API.

Things you will need to edit:

You will need to update the following parts of the Script with your relevant information:

$APIKey
$APISecret
$FromAddress
$ToAddress
$SMTPServer

The Script:

#API Information - Configuration Required 
$URI = "https://css.api.hp.com/oauth/v1/token" 
$APIKey = "Insert API Key" 
$APISecret = "Insert API Secret" 
 
#Get PC Name and Domain Name - Some Configuration Required 
$PCName = $Env:COMPUTERNAME 
$Domain = $env:USERDNSDOMAIN 
$FromAddress = "Insert Email Address" 
$ToAddress = "Insert Email Address" 
$Subject = "HP Warranty Information for $PCName.$Domain" 
$SMTPServer = "Insert Email Server"

No RMS templates are available in your organization

No RMS templates are available in your organization

Problem:

When configuring a transport rule for ‘Apply Office 365 Message Encryption and rights protection to the message with…” you receive the following error when attempting to select a label:

“No RMS templates are available in your organization”

No RMS Templates

Solution:

You need to configure Exchange Online for RMS. See below for powershell commands:

#Configure Credentials
$cred = Get-Credential

# Configure Exchange Online PS Session
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $Cred -Authentication Basic –AllowRedirection

# Import Exchange Online PS Session
Import-PSSession $Session

# Configure the RMS Online Key Sharing Location (Note that this url changes based on location – See the bottom of this article for locations)
Set-IRMConfiguration –RMSOnlineKeySharingLocation “https://sp-rms.eu.aadrm.com/TenantManagement/ServicePartner.svc”

# Import the RMS Trusted Publishing Domain
Import-RMSTrustedPublishingDomain -RMSOnline -name “RMS Online”

# Test the IRM Configuration to ensure that Exchange is configured correctly
Test-IRMConfiguration -RMSOnline

The output of this command should look something like this, with the overall result as PASS.
Results : Checking organization context …

– PASS: Organization context checked; running as tenant administrator.
Loading IRM configuration …
– PASS: IRM configuration loaded successfully.
Checking RMS Online tenant prerequisites …
– PASS: RMS Online tenant prerequisites passed.
Checking RMS Online authentication certificate …
– PASS: The RMS Online authentication certificate is valid.
Checking that a Trusted Publishing Domain can be obtained from RMS Online …
– PASS: Trusted Publishing Domain successfully obtained from RMS Online. Templates available:
Confidential \ All Employees, Highly Confidential \ All Employees, Secure Email.
Checking that the Trusted Publishing Domain obtained from RMS Online is valid …
– PASS: Trusted Publishing Domain obtained from RMS Online is valid.

OVERALL RESULT: PASS

# Set the IRM Internal Licencing to True
Set-IRMConfiguration -InternalLicensingEnabled $true

Give Exchange Online 20 minutes to see the update and you should then be able to see the Templates.

Global policy issue:

Currently there is a bug with Exchange Online not being able to see labels that are NOT included in the ‘Global’ Azure Information Protection Policy. This is being investigated by Microsoft at the time of writing this article.

How to completely remove Sage Accounts (V18 to V24) via Powershell

How to completely remove Sage Accounts (V18 to V24) via Powershell

Sage Accounts Company Logo

What is this:?

This is a Powershell Script to automate the removal of Sage Accounts version 18 to version 24 from a PC.

The script accomplishes the steps in Sage Article 31544:
https://my.sage.co.uk/public/help/askarticle.aspx?articleid=31544

Steps carried out to remove Sage Accounts:

Removes DSN and ODBC data sources

Deletes the following shared folders:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Sage SBD
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Sage Line50
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Sage Report Designer 2007
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Sage Shared
C:\Program Files\Sage EBanking

Delete shared Sage files GAC, GAC_32 and GAC_MSIL

Deletes Sage files in the following locations:
C:\Windows\System32
C:\Windows\SYSWOW64\

Deletes the C:\ProgramData/Sage/Accounts Folder

Important Notes:

1) You must run the script as an Administrator

2) You must ensure that the correct execution policy is enabled on the PC

3) Do NOT use this script on a PC which has other Sage software installed on it (Payroll / ACT / Job Costing etc). If you do, it will likely break them and possibly cause data loss.

4) If the Sage Accounts or Payroll Company Data located on the machine that you MUST take a backup prior to running the script.

5) As per the above, this script removes the Sage Company Data located in C:\ProgramData\Sage\Accounts

6) You may see some error when it’s trying to remove some of the Sage software. This is due to the main Sage uninstaller removing the other installed (I.E. Sage Data Service). Sometimes however the main installer doesn’t work hence leaving this in the script.

7) The script will NOT remove .NET

8) It’s suggested that you read the script before blindly running it

9) I take no liability for any Damage caused from the use of this script. It is supplied as is. I’m not a scripting expert, I’ve just thrown it together. I’m sure there are better ways to do this.

10) Any suggested changes to the script are welcome. Feel free to drop me a comment with your suggestions.

Tested on the following Operating Systems:

Windows 10 64-Bit
Windows 10 32-Bit

How to Disable Office365 Integrated Apps for all Tenants (Powershell)

How to Disable Office365 Integrated Apps for all Tenants (Powershell)

Disable integrated Apps

What is it?

This very simple Powershell script is aimed at MSPs and Microsoft Partners that manage their clients Office365 environments. It will disable the ‘UsersPermissionToUserConsentToAppEnabled’ option within the clients Tenancy so that they are unable to give permission for third party Apps to access their Office365 Accounts.

Why would you want to do this?

It has been suggested that the next large ransomware attack may target cloud environments like Microsoft Office365. One of the ways that this could be accomplished is by end users granting permission for third party apps to access their Office365 accounts. For more information, see the link below.

Spiceworks – Cloud Ransomware

One of the ways of protecting against this is to disable the end users ability to grant permission to the third party apps in the first place. This is what the script does within Office365.

Things to consider:

 The Script is designed for Office365 Admins who manage a reasonable number of Office365 Tenancies. Using the script will mean that the setting doesn’t need to be applied manually per tenant.

– The Script requires you to be an Office365 Administrator with Delegation permissions over your clients environments

– You may want to check with your clients to make sure that they don’t need this feature.

– The script will presume that you have the correct execution policy configured.

– For those of you with fewer clients you can set this via the Office 365 Admin Center > Settings > Services & Add-ins > Integrated Apps (Refer to picture at the top of the page)

– I take no responsibility or liability for any unforeseen effects of the script. It is suggested that you read through any Powershell script before executing it.

The Script:

#Show Prompt to user
[System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show('This Script will Disable the "UsersPermissionToUserConsentToAppEnabled" option for each Tenant linked to your Partner Account. Click OK to continue')
#Connect to Office365 Partner Tenancy
$Cred = Get-Credential
Connect-MsolService -Credential $Cred
#Get list of Tennant ID's
$Tenant = Get-MsolPartnerContract
foreach ($ID in $Tenant) {Set-MsolCompanySettings -TenantId $ID.TenantID -UsersPermissionToUserConsentToAppEnabled $False
Get-MsolCompanyInformation -TenantId $ID.TenantId | Select DisplayName, UsersPermissionToUserConsentToAppEnabled}

PowerShell Script to connect to Microsoft Online Services (Office365)

PowerShell Script to connect to Microsoft Online Services (Office365)

Below is a simple PowerShell Script to connect to the following Microsoft Online Services:

Office365 Admin Center
Exchange Online
Sharepoint Online
Skype for Business
Security and Compliance Center

The Script has a simple Menu build in so that you can connect to the services that you need. You’re prompted for your Office365 Credentials prior to being put into the menu. Once you’re done connecting to the services, you can quit the menu (via option 6/Q) and use PowerShell as normal.

You can Dowload the script as a ZIP file from here:
Connect to all Microsoft Online Services

The Script will not set your execution policy. It’s presumed that you have the correct execution policy setup already.

Screenshot of the Simple Menu:

Set-MsolUser command returns a ‘Unable to update parameter’ error

Set-MsolUser command returns a ‘Unable to update parameter’ error

You’re trying to change a user parameter in Office365 via the Set-MsolUser PowerShell Cmdlet but it returns the following error:

Set-MsolUser : Unable to update parameter. Parameter name: DEPARTMENT.
At line:1 char:1
+ Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName [email protected] -Department ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (:) [Set-MsolUser], MicrosoftOnlineException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.PropertyNotSettableException,Microsoft.Online
.Administration.Automation.SetUser

You may see something different but similar depending on which Parameter you are setting.

Error Image:

Office365 Powershell Error
Set-MsolUser Error

Reason for the Error:

In my situation the reason for the error was due to the Office365 Domain having DirSync Enabled… (Thinking about it, I should have known better).

Solution:

The Solution to this problem would be to make the required changes to the local Active Directory opposed to Office365. This would then reflect in the Office365 environment upon the next Sync Cycle.

In my situation however, the domain I was using was for testing purposes and I had already removed the AD Sync Server. Therefore I used the below command to Disable DirSync:

Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled -EnableDirSync $false

Note:
Obviously you won’t want to use this command if you’re still using DirSync or it will stop syncing…

Once the DirSync had been disabled my command ran successfully.

Disable DirSync
Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled
