Repozytorium Techniczne

Pracując dla naszych klientów często napotykamy różnego rodzaju problemy, które wymagają rozwiązania. Oczywiście naiwnością było by sądzić, że tylko my lub nasi klienci mają te problemy stąd też powstał pomysł prowadzenia bloga, na którym opisujemy nasze przygody i rozwiązania. Chcąc dotrzeć do jak największego grona ludzi techniczne artykuły są dostępne w większości w języku angielskim. W miarę wolnego czasu postaramy się przetłumaczyć kolejne artykuły.

16 mar: Mastering Active Directory Hygiene: Automating SIDHistory Cleanup with CleanupMonster

Security Identifier (SID) History is a useful mechanism in Active Directory (AD) migrations. It allows users and groups in a new domain to retain access to resources that still rely on permissions from the old domain. However, once migrations are completed, these historical SIDs can become clutter, posing both security and administrative challenges. While it’s best to remove unnecessary SID History as soon as you’re done migrating, many environments skip this step. Over time, decommissioned or broken trusts make cleanup more difficult, and domain objects can accrue so many old entries that you lose track of what is still required.

17 kwi: Active Directory Replication Summary to your Email or Microsoft Teams

Active Directory replication is a critical process that ensures the consistent and up-to-date state of directory information across all domain controllers in a domain. Monitoring this process is important as it helps identify any issues that may arise and resolve them quickly. One way to monitor Active Directory replication is by using the Repadmin command-line tool. Repadmin provides a wealth of information about the replication status and health of a domain. However, manually checking the Repadmin output can be time-consuming and tedious, and running it manually every 30 minutes just to check if everything is great doesn't seem like a great idea. While PowerShell has its own commands around replication I've not found something as fast and reliable as repadmin /replsummary.

20 sie: How to Efficiently Remove Comments from Your PowerShell Script

As part of my daily development, I create lots of code that I subsequently comment on and leave to ensure I understand what I tried, what worked, and what didn't. This is my usual method of solving a problem. Sure, I could commit it to git and then look it up, and I do that, but that doesn't change my behavior where I happen to have lots of „junk” inside of my functions that stay commented out. While this works for me, and I've accepted this as part of my process, I don't believe this should be part of the production code on PowerShellGallery or when the code is deployed.
