Return Current User SID
How to return SID
[download resource files]
Demo
Sometimes there is need to run programs in the system
account, example when you deploy software using LANDesk, SCCM, etc. But
what if your script needs to write to the current user registry hive key? You
would normally be out of luck. Except now, you can use this script to
return the logged on username, then do the translation from username to SID.
Once you have the SID, you can write directly to the Users registry hive key
(via the SID). Looking something like this:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-4044905809-3024829031-2151773552-1000.

ZTI BIOS Check
How to check BIOS
[download resource files]
This script will retrieve the information required for
populating the ZTIBIOSCheck.xml fields, located in
c:\deploymentshare\scripts\ of the MDT server. It's
output is stored in a file in the same directory as the
script with the filename of the computer model.txt. This
was done to accomodate using this script with LANDesk/SCCM on
multiple models of machines to differentiate the outputs.
This text file contains all of the necessary
fields required for populating the information for a
new system. There is a template field at the top of
the xml file that you can copy and populate with the
output data from this script. It is suggested that you
update the BIOS to the latest version first before
running this script, as that will update the information
acquired by this script.
