If you have to create multiple shares for an Azure files instance as part of a migration or new deployment it can be very time consuming. With this script you put the name of the shares in a txt file called "shares.txt" and it will loop through and create them all and assign them to the hot tier. <# .SYNOPSIS Created by James Lambert www.roonics.com .DESCRIPTION This script creates shares from a txt file in Azure and set's their access tier .EXAMPLE .OUTPUTS .NOTES #> # CONFIG START $file = Get-Content -Path "shares.txt" $accessTier = "Hot" $tenant = "<tenant id>" $subscription = "<subscription id>" $resourceGroupName = "<resource group>" $storageAccountName = "<storage account name>" # CONFIG END # CONNECT TO AZURE Connect-AzAccount -Tenant $tenant -SubscriptionId $subscription # GET STORAGE KEY $storageKey = (Get-AzStorageAccountKey ` -ResourceGroupName $resour...

This script is used to apply tags as per a csv file. Tags will be applied in uppercase. If a resource group is present in the csv but not in Azure it will be skipped. A log file will be generated in the log folder. A backup of the resource groups previous tags and values will be created in the backup folder. CSV should be formatted as the Example file and saved as tags.csv in c:\temp\tags unless you specify differently under the config section An example csv file can be downloaded here <# .SYNOPSIS Created by James Lambert www.roonics.com .DESCRIPTION This script is used to apply tags as per a csv file.

I recently ran in to an issue whilst using CommVault to restore some archive files from it's HSM. You have to run the gxhsmutility to scan the files to check if any stub files remain, if there is it outputs what is called a map file, you then run the restore again pointing to said map file. The problem with this was that if the map file was over 100,000 lines the recovery would just crash, so I wrote this to split the map file out in to multiple map files I could then use to recover the data. <### .SYNOPSIS Created by James Lambert www.roonics.com .DESCRIPTION This script will get a list of all files in the "Files_to_split folder" then loop through each file and split every XXX numbers of lines (set in the config) .EXAMPLE .OUTPUTS .NOTES ###> ### Config $FilesToSplitDir = "Files_to_split\" $SplitFilesDir = "Split_files\" $SplitFileLines = 100000 $padding = " " cls ### Check if source folder is present if (!(Test-Path ...

This allows you to add a randomly generated number to the prefix of a bunch of files. In the below example we are adding a random prefix to every *.jpg file. <# .SYNOPSIS Created by James Lambert www.roonics.com .DESCRIPTION This allows you to add a randomly generated number to the prefix of a bunch of files.

 This script is designed to be placed in a folder with lots of images and videos including subfolders, create thumbnails of all the images found and uses ffmpeg to create frame sheets for movies then add 100 per HTML page with a "Next" link at the bottom linking to the next gallery page.

  This checks all the nics on a server to see if multiple nics have the "Register this in DNS" which if multiple are selected it can cause connectivity issues. 1. Export a list of the servers you wish to check and save it as a txt file in the same location as the script called "computers.txt" as below: server01 server02 server03 server04 2. Copy and paste the below script in to Notepad and save it as a ps1 file: cls $servers = Get-Content computers.txt foreach($server in $servers) { $nics = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -ComputerName $server -ErrorAction Inquire | Where{$_.IPEnabled -eq "TRUE"} foreach($nic in $nics) { Write-Host $server "-" $nic.IPAddress "-" $nic.FullDNSRegistrationEnabled } } 3. Now run the script. Example output: server01 - 10.10.10.10 - True server01 - 192.168.0.1 - False server02 - 10.10.10.20 - True server03 - 10.16.10.30 - True
