PowerShell Remoting Basic


Scripts below can be run on a server/workstation to get network shares on a remote server or remote workstation.

The  first script below will prompt for a password for authentication to get the network shares on the target specified.

After the correct password has been entered, script will display the available network shares of the specified target.

A pop up box will open and user needs to enter the necessary credentials for the script to proceed its to connect to the remote computer and get the available shared folders.

The script will require user intervention to key in manually the details.



#=========================

$Computer = "server1"
$domain="myXdomain"
$username="xDomainOwner"
$UserDomain = $domain + "\" + $username

#This line below should be in one line or else there will be an error
$xWmiObj =Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\cimv2" -Class Win32_share -Impersonation 3 -Credential $UserDomain -ComputerName $Computer

$xWmiObj | sort name | ft -auto

#=========================

Script below have the username and password on the script, and will not prompt for user intervention to key in or input the password.

But use only this script  below on a server or PC which only trusted user has access.

Password is visible on the script but is sent or transmitted securely over the wire.

Only one line makes the difference from above script.

#========================= 

$Computer = "server1"
$domain="myXdomain"
$username="xDomainOwner"
$UserDomain = $domain + "\" + $username


$insecure_string_pwd = convertto-securestring "myVisiblePassword"  -asplaintext -force
$xcred = new-object management.automation.pscredential $UserDomain,$insecure_string_pwd

#This line below should be in one line or else there will be an error 
$xWmiObj =Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\cimv2" -Class Win32_share -Impersonation 3 -Credential $xcred -ComputerName $Computer

$xWmiObj | sort name | ft -auto

#=========================

If all credentials are correct and the remote computer recognizes the credentials entered, script will automatically get available network shares without user intervention.



Hope it helps!!!  Happy coding!!

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...
