Powershell script to display message box to user giving them the option to restart now or later

 

I required a script that would run automatically for a user from a RunOnce key.  This powershell script gives the user a message box asking if they would like to restart now or later.  If they choose "yes" it will reboot now, if they choose "No" or "Cancel" it will not restart but will give the user a message box telling them that they need to restart manually ASAP.

Add-Type -AssemblyName PresentationCore,PresentationFramework $ButtonType = [System.Windows.MessageBoxButton]::YesNoCancel $MessageIcon = [System.Windows.MessageBoxImage]::Exclamation $MessageBody = "In order to complete setup, Windows needs to restart.  Click Yes to restart now or No if you plan to restart later." $MessageTitle = "Cloudwyse Set-up Completion" $ButtonType2 = [System.Windows.MessageBoxButton]::OK $MessageIcon2 = [System.Windows.MessageBoxImage]::Error $MessageBody2 = "The system will not operate correctly until a restart is completed.  Remember to restart ASAP!" $MessageTitle2 = "WARNING!!" $Choice = [System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show($MessageBody,$MessageTitle,$ButtonType,$MessageIcon)   If ($Choice -eq "No" -OR $Choice -eq "Cancel") {   [System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show($MessageBody2,$MessageTitle2,$ButtonType2,$MessageIcon2)   }  Else {   Restart-Computer }

 

 

Hyper-V host running core - check RAM from remote server with Powershell

 

Here's a little script I created that was useful to check the amount of physical RAM installed on a Hyper-V server running core.  It reports the amount of physical RAM in the host as well as the amount of RAM which is actually visible and addressable to the server.  It also reports the RAM which is currently assigned the Hyper-V host OS..

Add-Type -AssemblyName PresentationFramework $Server = "ADVYOHV01" $PRAM = (Get-WMIObject -class Win32_PhysicalMemory -ComputerName $Server |` Measure-Object -Property capacity -Sum | % {[Math]::Round(($_.sum / 1GB),2)}) $IRAM = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName $Server $IRAM = [Math]::Round(($IRAM.TotalPhysicalMemory/ 1GB)) $CheckHost = Get-Ciminstance Win32_OperatingSystem $PCTFREE = [math]::Round(($CheckHost.FreePhysicalMemory/$CheckHost.TotalVisibleMemorySize)*100,0) $GBFREE = [math]::Round($CheckHost.FreePhysicalMemory/1mb,2) $TOTALGB = [int]($CheckHost.TotalVisibleMemorySize/1mb) [System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show("Hardware`: `n$PRAM`GB Physical Memory `($IRAM`GB addressable`) `n `nCurrent OS Usage`: `n$GBFREE`GB free out of $TOTALGB`GB total `($PCTFREE`% used`)","Memory details for server `"$Server`"")

 

 

Find number of cores on each processor for Microsoft Server 2016 Licensing

 

To calculate the cost of licensing for Server 2016, it's necessary to know how many cores each CPU of your server is running.  This WMI query is useful in identifying that.

$property = "systemname", "deviceid", "name", "maxclockspeed","addressWidth", "numberOfCores", "NumberOfLogicalProcessors" Get-WmiObject -class win32_processor -Property  $property | Select-Object -Property $property

 

 

How to install and configure Hyper-V Host (core) for remote administration

 

It's possible to configure a Hyper-V host running core to be fully managed remotely.  I have read various suggestions on the web saying it’s better and more secure to leave the Hyper-V host in a workgroup, but the effort required when doing that just doesn’t make it worth it in my opinion. And we actually want 1st and 2nd line technicians to be able to do as much troubleshooting as possible before escalating, rather than adding complexity.   OK if you haven’t already run the following on the core server do it now:

Enable-PSRemoting

If you don’t know the hostname, run the command now.

hostname

All being well, that should be the last time we need to run commands locally on the core server.  The machine you use to administer the core server must have the required Remote Server Administration Tools installed and, for ease of access, be a member of the domain.   So let’s connect to the host (obviously switch “oobehostname” for whatever the hostname of your machine is).

Enter-PSSession <oobehostname>

Next, rename it specifying your credentials

Rename-Computer -NewName "contosohv012" -DomainCredential contoso\admdel.griffith -Restart

Once the server has restarted, reconnect.  Then you can either do

Enter-PSSession contosohv012 Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V -Restart

Or to execute the command remotely

Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V -ComputerName “contosohv012” -Restart

If you aren’t sure whether Hyper-V is installed or not, you can run

Get-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V -ComputerName “contosohv012”

Next comes the firewall settings.  This Microsoft document explains that to enable remote management of a 2016 core server you should run:

Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Administration"

But this group was removed starting with Windows Server 2012.  So instead I ran:

Get-NetFirewallRule | select-object -expand DisplayGroup

to find the names of the services I needed.   To allow access for each follow these steps:   Windows Firewall with Advanced Security (I preferred just setting this on the Domain profile so I edited the rule first)

Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Windows Firewall Remote Management" -Profile Domain Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Windows Firewall Remote Management"

Services

Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Service Management"

Event Viewer

Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Event Log Management"

Shared Folders

Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "File and Printer Sharing"

Performance Logs and Alerts There are rules on each of the different profiles, so just the regular -DisplayGroup won’t cut the mustard here

Get-NetFirewallRule | Where {$_.DisplayGroup -eq "Performance Logs and Alerts" -and $_.Profile -eq "Domain"} | Enable-NetFirewallRule

Disk Management Disk Management is also a little more complicated.  First run this on the remote machine:

Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Volume Management"

Then run the same command on the local machine.  Next, we need to start the virtual disk service.

Set-Service -Name vds -StartupType Automatic Set-Service -Name vds -Status Running -PassThru

Now you should be able to connect computer management, and all other required mmc consoles by right clicking and choosing “Connect to another computer”.

 

 

Configure IPv4 IP Address, DNS servers and DNS Suffix from within Powershell

I recently used this on a Hyper-V build.  It should provide enough network connectivity to add your server to the Active Directory domain. Find connected NICs and interface names

Get-NetAdapter

Configure IP address

New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias "NIC1" -IPAddress 10.20.0.141 -AddressFamily IPv4 -PrefixLength 24 -DefaultGateway 10.20.0.1

Configure DNS Servers

Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias "NIC1" -ServerAddresses 10.20.0.133

Configure the suffix search list

Set-DnsClientGlobalSetting -SuffixSearchList corp.contoso.com
