os-scripts's Introduction

Hi visitor of the day!

I know my GitHub seems lacking at the moment, but I do hobbyist programming/coding, and I'm always interested in new opportunites. So, reach out if you'd like for me to do some work for you!

🔭 I’m currently working on automating tasks in my current job with OS scripting.
🌱 I’m currently learning software development on my own, where free time allows, due a busy full-time job in IT.
👯 I’m looking to collaborate on pretty much anything, just contact me!
🤔 I’m looking for help with getting involved in software development projects.
💬 Ask me about anything, really, I love questions!
📫 How to reach me: you can contact me below, or use my email on the left!
☕ Feeling generous?
😄 Pronouns: he/him/his
⚡ Fun fact: I really enjoy adding tiny features onto websites online via Tampermonkey (injected JS) or Stylus (injected CSS).


Excluded Repos _{None at the moment! (but thanks for checking)}

403 forbidden on API calls to adguard store

https://github.com/Andrew-J-Larson/OS-Scripts/tree/main/Windows/Wrapper-Functions

The wrapper functions and the related powershell modules that use it, that interact with adguard api all return 403, how did you get this working?

[Add App] Recreate-Base-Shortcuts.ps1 - Autodesk Software

Looking to get AutoDesk apps added, such as AutoCad, Inventor and Revit..

here are the Paths to the install locations..

AutoCad 2023 - C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2023\acad.exe
Inventor 2023 - C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2023\Bin\Inventor.exe
Revit 2023 - C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2022\Revit.exe

let me know if that is what you need or if you need something else.. If I can get this added it will keep our Engineering Lab teachers from hunting me down :)

Thank you

[Add App] Recreate-Base-Shortcuts.ps1 - WizTree

I would like to have WizTree added, it's found on https://diskanalyzer.com/ and puts itself in C:\Program Files\WizTree\ (you have WizTree.exe and WizTree64.exe there)

[Add App] Recreate-Base-Shortcuts.ps1 - AWS VPN Client

[Enhancement] Recreate-Base-Shortcuts.ps1 - Make warnings not report as errors

The script is showing as Failed in intune, because each app that is not installed is failing like this:

Visio
WARNING: Target invalid! Doesn't exist or is spelled wrong:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\VISIO.EXE

That's for everything that's not installed. Log file is showing that it's creating those shortcuts which are missing, and skipping those that already exist. As a result (presumably that's why!), it's showing as failed in Device Status for all devices.

[Enhancement] Recreate-Base-Shortcuts.ps1 - Reduce size for Intune

Not really an issue with your scirpt, but thought I made you aware:

Selected file Recreate-Base-Shortcut.ps1 must be between 1 and 200000 bytes.

Even with all comments and empty lines removed.

[Bug] Recreate-Base-Shortcuts.ps1 - MethodInvocationException

I seem to get MethodInvocationException on every detected shortcut. The script runs successfully and creates the shortcuts as expected, but the errors thrown make the script report as failed when deployed via Intune:

[Enhancement] Recreate-Startmenu-Shortcuts.ps1 - Reduce size in general

In general, knowing my own code, I can certainly cut down about half the code if I remove the extra lines used to check for Program Files (x86)... but to do so, will require more complicated code (in the case of different names depending on architecture installed)

Will work on this when I have the time, and no other pending bug fixes/feature requests exist.

[Bug] Recreate-Base-Shortcuts.ps1 - Does not work for me

1- I have to remove some line

2- Several error for Azure Data Studio

Azure Data Studio
A shortcut already exists at:

3- For Docker Desktop
It says that the shortcut already exists which is not true. But the same test is fine for all other existing shortcuts. I don't know why it believes the file exists

Docker Desktop
A shortcut already exists at:
