OmegaMan's Musings

I ran into this need while downloading the Oracle VirtualBox Image for its Developer Database which was 7ziped into 14 files. I wanted a way to view all the checksums using Windows 10 certutil program without having to type it into the command line. Here is the command used from the directory.:

     #
     gci  | foreach { certutil -hashfile $_.fullname MD5 }
     

I had other files in the directory so I wanted to filter only on those files:

     #
     gci -filter *.ova.7z.0** | foreach { certutil -hashfile $_.fullname MD5 }

While working for a company which used a browser based VPN which needed to have different pinned components in memory. That caused difficulties when having to mostly re-login due to their startup script. I created this PowerShell script to kill specific processes, if running, and launch IE to my companies’ web page.

Get-Process | where {      
                     -or $_.Name -like "Juniper*"`__abENT__lt;code__abENT__gt;-or $___abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;abENT__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;#46;Name -like __abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;abENT__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;quot;dsHostChecker*__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;abENT__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;quot;__abENT__lt;__abENT__#8260;code__abENT__gt;`
                     -or $_.Name -like "iisexpress"`__abENT__lt;code__abENT__gt;-or $___abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;abENT__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;#46;Name -like __abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;abENT__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;quot;Network*__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;abENT__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;quot;__abENT__lt;__abENT__#8260;code__abENT__gt;`

$ie = New-Object -com internetexplorer.application; 
$ie.visible = $true; 
$ie.navigate("Https://secure.MyCompany.com");
