Base64 Conversion Functions in PowerShell: Automating Everyday Administrative Tasks

Base64 Conversion Functions in PowerShell: Automating Everyday Administrative Tasks In today's IT environments, automation is crucial for handling repetitive tasks and improving efficiency. PowerShell, with its rich set of tools and functions, provides a powerful framework for automating these tasks. One essential skill for any administrator is the ability to manipulate binary data, such as files, in a format suitable for transmission or storage. This is where Base64 encoding and decoding come in handy. Why Use Base64 Encoding? Base64 encoding is a way to represent binary data as plain text. This technique is frequently used when transferring data over systems that handle text rather than binary, such as JSON, XML, or APIs.

Conversely, decoding Base64 back to its original binary form allows you to restore files for further use. In this article, we’ll w...

Invoke-Logoff Logoff a target User By Michael J. Thomas 04/24/2024   I decided to pull one of my older scripts off the back burner and share it with the world. This script has been handy for me with persistent account lockouts. The user has their password changed but has logged into multiple machines and the older password is locking the machine out. This script allows you to just target that computer and user and log them out.  <# .Synopsis    Logoff User off a Remote Computer.  .DESCRIPTION    Invoke-Logoff v1.0 Used to Logoff a User from a Remote Computer.    This also tests if a computer is online and if WinRM is enabled.         Created by Michael J. Thomas 9/11/2018.    Updated 12/27/2018  .EXAMPLE    Invoke-Logoff -ComputerName "computer01" -UserName "user01" #> Function Invoke-Logoff { [cmdletbinding()] param (                 [String]$...
