HOW TO REMOVE MULTIPLE SCOPE ON DHCP USING POWERSHELL

Hey all,

I accidentally created lots of scope by mistake !!
it was not possible to delete all of the scope physically so I used simple poweshell script to do my job.

Edit as you according to your needs

For ($i=1; $i-lt 255;$i++)
{
$i= $i + 1

$scpID = "192.$i.0.0"
Write-host $scpID 

Remove-dhcpserverv4scope -computername "youcomputername.domain.local" -scopeid $scpID

}



Edit the IPaddress range and your FQDN name.
Save the above on notepad using .ps1 extenstion.

GROUP POLICY TO LOCK USER SCREEN AFTER INACTIVITY (IDEAL TIME)

HOW TO : 

GROUP POLICY TO LOCK USER SCREEN AFTER INACTIVITY (IDEAL TIME)

Server:Windows Server 2012 

Client: Windows 7


Today one of my client asked me if their computer could be auto locked after certain amount of ideal time. So here is what I did to apply the settings.I have seen people using task scheduler and batch file to do this but I find this much more easier to apply.

FIX :

1. On your Domain Controller, Open Group Policy Management console 

( Windows + R and "gpmc.msc" )

2. Create Group policy using your desire name

3. Edit your policy

4. Navigate to User Configuration \ Policies \ Control panel \ Personalization 

5. Edit the following 4 settings

Enable screen saver - Enable

Password protect the screen saver - Enable

Screen saver time out - Enable, Your desire ideal period

Force specific screen saver - Enable , blank path

6. Apply the Group policy to your desire Organizational Unit

Good Luck !!
