Can't Install Powershell Modules

 When trying to install a PowerShell module I was getting this error...

WARNING: Unable to resolve package source 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/'.

PackageManagement\Install-Package : No match was found for the specified search criteria and module name 'XXX'.


Turns out it was a problem with the SecurityProtocol, fixed by entering 

[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol =                     [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12; 


SecurityProtocols I had in place before entering this command were...

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol

Ssl3, Tls


Afterwards, I had 

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol

Tls12

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. In certificate details locate the  Serial Number  field, click on it and copy its value. Open Command Prompt, pressing  Win+R  and typing  cmd , then click  OK In the command prompt type: ...

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.

Then, if there is not a Module item under Modules, create one by right clicking on Modules. Or right click and choose Insert -> Module. Now, paste the text below in the main VBA window. 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".
