Netdom Query Fsmo

timeserver settings

query source servers:

w32tm /query /source

set source servers:

net stop w32time; 
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:10.2.8.3;
w32tm /config /reliable:yes;
net start w32time;

Without stopping w32time:

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"time.domain.tld time2.domain.tld" /reliable:yes /update

Sync with timeservers:

w32tm /resync /force

robocopy

robocopy F:\SOURCE D:\DESTINATION\ /MIR /FFT /Z /W:5 /tee /log:RobocopySync.log

1. /MIR specifies that robocopy should mirror the source directory and the destination directory. Beware that this may delete files at the destination.
2. /FFT uses fat file timing instead of NTFS. This means the granularity is a bit less precise.
3. /W:5 reduces the wait time between failures to 5 seconds instead of the 30 second default.
4. /Z ensures robocopy can resume the transfer of a large file in mid-file instead of restarting.
5. /XA:H makes robocopy ignore hidden files, usually these will be system files that we’re not interested in.
6. /log:RobocopySync.log write output into logfile instead stdout. Use in combination with /tee to get output to stdout AND logfile
7. /COPY:copyflag[s] what to COPY for files (default is /COPY:DAT). (copyflags : D=Data, A=Attributes, T=Timestamps). (S=Security=NTFS ACLs, O=Owner info, U=aUditing info).

set thumbnail-image

from an exchange server

Import-RecipientDataProperty -Identity dSchlenzig -Picture -FileData \
([Byte[]]$(Get-Content -path ".\thumb-DOMARI.jpg"  -Encoding Byte -ReadCount 0))

from an AD

$photo = [byte[]](Get-Content path of pic -Encoding byte)
Set-ADUser username -Replace @{thumbnailPhoto=$photo}

get .Net Version installed

wmic /namespace:\\root\cimv2 path win32_product where "name like '%%.NET%%'" get name,version

get ACL folder permissions

get-acl C:\folder | Format-List

get/set/copy NTFS permissions

Copy some folder eg. E:\Data to F:\DataNew

Since the old and new foldernames differ, we'll have to get the permissions of the root folder:

cd E:\data
icacls . /save ..\DATA-root_perms.txt /c

now we tell icacls that it should get the content of our root folder and traverse (/t) through folder-structure:

icacls .\ /save ..\DATA_perms.txt /c /t

now we have 2 permission files which we can restore on the new folder:

cd F:\DataNew
icacls . /restore E:\DATA-root_perms.txt /c
icacls .\ /restore E:\DATA_perms.txt /c

If you have the same folder name, e.g. you copy from E:\data to F:\data you can do this:

cd e:
icacls .\Data /save .\DATA_perms.txt /c /t
icacls F: /restore E:\DATA_perms.txt /c

where:

/t     Traverse through folders
/c     Continue on errors
