UFormat Date Formatting - Powershell

Notes


  • By default, the date-time is displayed in long-date and long-time formats for the system locale.
    When you pipe a date to cmdlets that expect string input, such as the Add-Content cmdlet, Windows PowerShell converts the DateTime object to a string before adding it to the file. The default ToString() format is short date and long time. To specify an alternate format, use the -Format or -UFormat parameters of Get-Date.
  • Here are the valid UFormat specifiers, each of which must be preceded by %, for example, Get-Date -UFormat %Y%m%d
Format specifier Meaning Example
A Day of the week - full name Monday
a Day of the week - abbreviated name Mon
B Month name - full January
b Month name - abbreviated Jan
C Century 20 for 2006
c Date and time - abbreviated Fri Jun 16 10:31:27 2006

Fixing a https Cert in Windows

 I renewed a https cert today in Windows and had problems with the new Cert sticking in Windows It would add fine, without error, but would disappear when the IIS Server Certificates screen would refresh.  Open the Certificates in MMC (Local Machine) and inspecting the Web Hosting gave a clue, the new certificate was there, but with a key - the private key was missing.  Could be because the original certificate was created on a completely different machine and imported to this new server.  At any rate, a simple certutil command fixed it .  A tip I received from  SSL disappears from the certificate list on Windows server - SSL Certificates - Namecheap.com Key steps are:  Double-click the certificate and go to  Details  tab.

Ever need to reset a password in Bonobo Git Server ?

So, you've forgotten your password to bonobo git. Step 1: Get access to the sqlite file, probably called something like  Bonobo.Git.Server.db, sitting in the "wwwroot\Bonobo.Git.Server\App_Data" directory. Step 2: Using another tool, generate an md5 hash of your new desired password (as far as I know, sqlite does not have md5 capability) Step 3: Back in sqlite, using SQL, update the relevant user record, something like update User set Password = UPPER( 'thenewMD5hash') where Username = 'admin' ; Step 4: That's it, you are done, log in with your newly found password.

Close the VBA IDE. Create a Rule that calls the script. Tools -> Rules and Alerts -> New Rule... In the first screen of the new rule wizard, choose "Check messages when they arrive".
