Powershell Script to automate WINS install/configuration

Here's a  short powershell script I wrote that will automate the installation of WINS server and configure a two way replication partnership.

Import-Module Servermanager

Add-WindowsFeature WINS-Server

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.VisualBasic') | Out-Null

$computer = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox("Enter Host of Replication Partner", "Computer", "$env:computername")

$myip=((ipconfig | findstr [0-9].\.)[0]).Split()[-1]



$partner=([System.Net.Dns]::GetHostaddresses("$computer".split('.')[0]))[0].ipaddresstostring

netsh wins server $myip add partner Server=$partner type=2

netsh wins server $partner add partner Server=$myip type=2

Vbscript to compare services among hosts inside domain

Below is a script I wrote to compare services on a list of hosts versus a "template" list of services and show the differences, very useful if your trying to find differences among roles/services running on a large number of hosts.

How to use:

Run inside domain or do runas and make sure your vpn

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /u:<domain>\<account> /netonly cmd

Cscript services.vbs

Cscript makeTemplate /computer:<Computer to make template services>

Template.txt = The list of services that is used to compare against

compareList.txt = Dump of Hosts to look against

services.vbs
