Voltando a pasta Users do Windows 10 ao local original com o Sysprep – Problemas e Soluções

Quando os SSDs surgiram, eles ainda eram muito caros, e apenas modelos de baixa capacidade eram razoavelmente acessíveis. Com isso, apenas a instalação do Windows e programas já era suficiente para tomar todo o espaço de um SSD de 128GB, ou até mesmo de 256GB, dependendo da quantidade e do tamanho dos programas instalados.

Uma solução que eu adotava na época era mover a pasta \Usersdo Windows…

In October 2015, Israeli cyber-security firm Ensilo discovered a remote access Trojan (RAT), dubbed Moker Trojan, inside the sensitive network of a customer. A remote access Trojan (RAT) is not an APT. Malware is the tool that supports the APT campaign. However, Ensilo contends that the remote access Trojan is complex enough to suggest that it may be developed and deployed by an emerging APT group. The quality of the code is high. The code checks its return values, validates its pointers, handles its exceptions, and prevents buffer overflows. The malware also contains obfuscation measures to inhibit deconstruction and analysis attempts. Since the digital signatures of the malware did not register on Virus Total (a research tool for recognizing malware signatures), and because the malware itself contains features dissimilar to other campaigns, there is the possibility that the security firm either uncovered an undiscovered malware campaign or that they caught a threat as it emerged. Neither the identity of the developer of the malware nor the infection vectors are known. The malware targets the operating system of Microsoft Windows hosts. The single sample of the malware discovered communicated with a domain that corresponded to a HTTP server in Montenegro. Based on its efforts to communicate with the C2 infrastructure, Ensilo postulates that the server is owned by the attacker who hosts C2 infrastructure via a Virtual Private Server (VPS) or a static IP rather than a hacked domain or a shared hosting server.

How to deploy a vm using powercli and unattend.xml file

Recently I blogged how to deploy a VM on VMware platforms(such as Vsphere) using PowerCLI, and more specifically the New-OScustomizationSpec. I mentioned in that article, that indeed the New-OSCustomizationSpec helps to create a new customizationspec, and give us the possibility to add customization to our Windows (or linux) deployment(s). In this article I’ll cover how to deploy a VM using…

My experiences from the field on how to automate #VMWare VM creation using #powershell #powercli and oscustomizationspec

Salutations!

I have been doing a lot of VMware PowerCLI automation this last year and a half. Up Until my recent projects, I have done mostly only HyperV / SCVMM automation (For Virtual Machine Deployments). For OS deployments I mainly used ConfigMgr (SCCM). Today, I would like to go through some powercli oscustomizationspec automation.

I’ll go through in a few posts on some interesting topics on…

不用意にバイパスすると取り返しがつかなくなるようです。

1. 最初のセットアップで User というユーザーアカウントを作成 2. Administrator を有効化 3. アカウント User を削除 4. LocalAccount にパラメーターを仕込んだ応答ファイルで sysprep 実施

とやると、Administrator アカウントが利用できない状態になり、対処不能になりました。今必死になって再構築している、というやつです。

Administrator アカウントを無効にさせないためには、AutoLogon を設定すればよいらしいです。

Since I made the post about Sysprep utility and backing up the system: once you prep your system, then what? You now have a generalized lump of data sitting in a box, ready to be ported out, but the moment you start it up, it’s going to rewrite all those details back into place.

Interrupt that process by booting up with Paragon in the interim.

A drawback to using Paragon is that the driver availability (or rather, lack thereof) can make you do extra work. Case in point: When you boot up the Paragon interface, it will look for:

1) The hard drive where your OS and data is located (Made by “AJAX” (hypothetical name, I’ll explain why later)).

2) Any removable media (Let’s say, in this case, an external hard drive you want to back up to, made by “ACME”).

3) Additional removable media where your supplemental drivers can be located (important point: keep reading).

Because Paragon, in my experience, has limited amounts of drivers bundled in with it, you might be hard pressed to find ways of manually installing drivers into it that will allow it to detect your hard drive and other removable media manually. This is a huge drawback. You might have to manually install the driver for your AJAX 123 hard drive that you already have, the ACME 321 hard drive you want to export your sysprep’d hard drive to, and then there’s that dreaded chicken-or-egg situation where you have the drivers stored on removable media---that cannot be read without the driver.

Sysprep:

The System Preparation (Sysprep) tool prepares an installation of Windows for duplication. Duplication, also called imaging, enables to capture a customized Windows image that it can reuse. It is for automated Windows installations that allows unique SIDs to be created. This document consists of Pre-requisites, Installation steps and Post-configuration steps. Pre-requisites: 1.
