The Gears Inside My Head

I just found out that Eric Ligman, Microsoft Director of Sales Excellence (whatever that is) is giving away a TON of free eBooks.  Head over to this site for the steaming poop: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/mssmallbiz/2016/07/10/free-thats-right-im-giving-away-millions-of-free-microsoft-ebooks-again-including-windows-10-office-365-office-2016-power-bi-azure-windows-8-1-office-2013-sharepoint-2016-sha/ Now, one thing you will note is that you can either click on each eBook individually, or you can play leap-frog and click the "Download-All" button just to be hit with a "list" of the links.  A few folks posted complaints about that and so far no one has posted any real solution... except for me that is.

If you work with thin clients this may come in handy.  I had a need to gather the configuration inventory from all of our Wyse C50LE terminals.  We have two sites and separate Wyse device manager servers.  The entire environment was set up before my time so I haven't done too much with it. This script will access the C: drives of one or more servers and look in the default config file path for INI files.  It reads them, parses them, and drops them in a spreadsheet.  Change the targets variable to include whatever servers you need. The resulting spreadsheet is saved in the same folder as the script. <#==============================================================================          File Name : Wyse-Config-Inventory.ps1    Original Author : Kenneth C.
