for each file in batch/dos

Posted by on September 28, 2011 No comments

Command line usage:

for /f %f in ('dir /b c:\') do echo %f

Batch file usage:

for /f %%f in ('dir /b c:\') do echo %%f

If the directory contains files with space in the names, you need to change the delimiter the for /f command is using. for example, you can use the pipe char.

for /f "delims=|" %%f in ('dir /b c:\') do echo %%f

If the directory name itself has a space in the name, you can use the `usebackq` option on the `for`:

for /f "usebackq delims=|" %%f in (`dir /b "c:\program files"`) do echo %%f

And if you need to use output redirection or command piping, use the escape char (`^`):

for /f "usebackq delims=|" %%f in (`dir /b "c:\program files" ^| findstr /i microsoft`) do echo %%f

Install UltraVNC msi remotely using a VBS / VBScript

Posted by on June 24, 2009 No comments

Hi,

To create a silent MSI for UltraVNC I have used this open source app that you can get it here: UltraVNC MSI Creator

To create the MSI just follow the instructions is plain and simple.

Now the script so you can remotly install on any PC you got administrative privileges:

 Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strComputer = InputBox("Writte down the target computer","UltraVNC Remote INSTALL","Nomed do Computador", 50, 50)
Const UVNCPath = "\\yourultravncpath\UltraVNC.msi"
Const Overwrite = True
wsLocation = "\\" & strComputer & "\c$\Windows\Temp\"

if strComputer = "" then
	WScript.Quit
end if

if Ping(strComputer) then
	objFSO.CopyFile UVNCPath, wsLocation ,Overwrite
else
	msgbox("Can't reach the target computer, sorry!")
	WScript.Quit
end if

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objSoftware = objWMIService.Get("Win32_Product")
errReturn = objSoftware.Install("C:\Windows\Temp\ultravnc.msi",,True)

if errReturn = 0 then
	msgbox("Yupii, installed with success.")
	else
	msgbox("Can't install, sorry!")
end if

Function Ping(PC)
	Set objWshScriptExec = objShell.Exec("C:\WINDOWS\system32\ping.exe " & PC)
	Set objStdOut = objWshScriptExec.StdOut

	awake=False
	Do Until objStdOut.AtEndOfStream
		strLine = objStdOut.ReadLine
		awake = awake Or InStr(LCase(strLine), "bytes=") > 0
	Loop
	Ping = awake
End Function

Tail for windows

Posted by on June 16, 2009 No comments

Here is a great tools to follow those txt log files that you may find on windows

The download page is: tailforwin32

Some files that could be usefull to check with tail:

c:\WINDOWS\WindowsUpdate.log

Follow this one to know, for example, if your computer is connected to a WSUS server for updates

C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\yourservername.log\*.log

This one is useful since exchange server does not provide a useful (at least that i’m aware) way to check in real time incoming mails.

Remote shutdown Windows from Linux

Posted by on June 15, 2009 No comments

Just run the following command:

net rpc SHUTDOWN -C "enter a comment to display at shutdown" -f -I x.x.x.x -U username%password

where x.x.x.x is the ip address.

To know what machines are on in a particular subnet just nmap it, like this:

nmap -sP 192.168.5.0/24 | cut -d " " -f2 > lixo.txt

And with the lixo.txt you can cicle the computers and shut them down, just run this:

for i in $(cat lixo.txt);do net rpc SHUTDOWN  -f -I $i -U user%password; done
