Add several users in AD using Excel

Posted on by

UPDATE – I’ve changed the link below to point to GE.TT a legit file sharing site.

MassUserCreationScriptSource.xls

Link to the script

Taken from Train Signal AD 2008 training.

File needs to be saved as a Formatted Text (Space delimited) file once done.

Here’s the easy way to add a bunch of users all at once!
1. Copy and paste the first and last names of your users into the AddUsersInfoHere sheet
2. Type the ChildOU name and Autofill it down.
3. Type the ParentOU name and Autofill it down.
4. Go to MassUserCreationScriptSource and check to see if the domain name and suffix are correct. If not, fill in
correct value on the first line and Autofill down.
5. On the SaveThisSheetAsTextFile sheet, make sure to autofill for all required user names.
6. Go to File–> Save As and save the sheet in a convenient place, making sure to select Formatted Text (Space Delimited)
as the file type.
7. Take your .prn file, rename it to something.bat.
8. Post to your server and run it at the command line!

Command line batch for adding users in AD

Posted on by

In notepad type

dsadd user “cn=%1, ou=OUName, dc=YourDomain, dc=YourSuffix” -fn %2 -ln %3 -pwd fred -mustchpwd yes

Save as a bat file.

cn = command name (user name)
fn = first name
ln = Last name

Everything in bold you replace with your own info.

Name the file whatever, like adduser.bat

Example:

adduser testdummy Test Dummy

Would add the user Test Dummy

HP 7900 Black Screen issue

Posted on by

Problem:

Windows 7 64 is now installed. Works fine. You do a restart and it goes past post then black screen then slight white washed black screen as if it’s going to load Windows 7 logo but doesn’t. Just stays there. No errors.

Turn off and on again and it’s fine. It’s only if you do a restart.

Fix:

“In bios, advanced, power on options, try setting post mode to either Clear Memory or FullBoot.
I had the same restart issue and the above change resolved it.”

I set it to clear memory and it’s fixed it.

Chris Conway criticized Most Haunted

Chris Conway Statement

Yes I know it don’t fit in the post but still 🙂 I’ve put a link to the image above.

I hate Mediums. They prey on the weak and gullible for money. This guy is just as bad. But its interesting here that he criticizes Most Haunted now he’s lost his contract with them. Most Haunted clearly having something to hide, had him remove it from his site. They forgot about Google Cache. It’s gone from that now too but I got a pic before it went.

UPDATE-Imageshack deleting all images and Google Cache being cleared meaning these all went. Should of stuck the image on the site directly. Anyway, found this.

“I’d like to start by thanking you guys for all the love and support you have given me since the start of my Most Haunted adventure 🙂 However, I feel I can no longer continue as Most Haunted resident medium. I appreciate the chance given to me to work in television and I plan to continue to do so in some other show.

I had the decision to make between fame/money V’s My beliefs and principles . I won’t go into details but I couldn’t be a part of something I didn’t trust. Too many things were happening contrary to what I was picking up or at times picking up no spirit activity at all.

I thought it wrong to agree with the fans criticisms of the show while picking up a pay cheque from Antix Productions. I feel that we were either the luckiest paranormal investigation group in the world or the tapping’s, stone throwing etc wasn’t paranormal. This is of course my opinion and is in no way any accusation of fraud on my part. My decision was made for me when I realised that on receiving my call sheet on a Friday the venue was being written on it for this series. I am strongly against any advanced knowledge of where I’m investigating (unless it is made clear I know). I opened the files and looked up my hotel whilst having to ignore the rest of my call sheet. This meant I felt like I wasn’t fully involved.

I also feel that I wasn’t involved enough in the actual investigations. If I didn’t manage to pick up all the information in the first 15 minutes I’d lost my chance. Even bringing stuff through at the hub wasn’t being aired. This I felt was not fair on myself or the fans.

I understand that many people don’t believe in mediumship and feel we should not have been used on the show. I respect this viewpoint and I feel that every belief system has to have a balanced argument. If everyone was a believer it would be open to abuse. However, if everyone was a sceptic it would mean that we may miss some important phenomena.

I realise that this statement may invite some mud slinging from Antix Productions but it is my opinions and the truth as I see it. I feel my fans (and Most Haunted fans in general) deserve to hear my truthful reasons for leaving the show. I refuse to walk away with an excuse of why I left, in the hope it will prevent my name being tarnished by others.

Blessings
Chris”

WEP Cracking using BackTrack 4

Posted on by

Little vid I created to show how easy it is to crack WEP. Shockingly people still have WEP set on their WIFI setups. You need to change it to WPA2 ASAP.

This vid is for educational purposes only as it’s illegal to crack anyone’s WIFI unless you have permission.

WPA and WPA2 is a lot harder to crack if you use a strong password as it requires a dictionary attack. If your password isn’t in their dictionary because you made it strong with special characters etc, then it will be harder for someone to crack.

You have to remember that you may think “So what if someone gets on my router. If they just download the odd e-mail then so be it.” Problem is once they are on, they can download anything. What with the new Copyright Bill act in place, they could download a Hollywood movie and it would trace back to your IP. You’re the one that would get the warning letters not them. Your internet connection is the one that would get cut off, not theirs. Also once they are on your network, they can perform a Man in The Middle Attack (mentioned in my other security posts). They could then intercept your banking details, e-mail login details and more. They could also, even jump onto your PC without you even knowing about it.

I’ll add more to these notes later when I can be bothered. To explain the commands and what it’s all doing.

Derren Brown Interview with Richard Dawkins

Posted on by

A quality and great interview with Richard Dawkins and Derren Brown. Explains so much, about cold reading, bullshit shows like Most Haunted and more. Best one is part 4 at 5:35. He’s talking about Most Haunted as I remember that episode. Most Haunted is fine if you look at it as entertainment. When it becomes an issue is if you base your beliefs on the message it puts across.
