RDCMan v3.1: Recent Built-In Group Not Working
I am using Remote Desktop Connection Manager v3.1 (on Windows 11 Enterprise, 24H2) and have found the following two issues... The "Recent" Built-In Group doesn't work...the recently connected servers do not appear in this group (this fails for my colleague too). If you click on the URL shown in the "About" Dialogue box then RDCMan errors and then crashes! (Again, this too fails for my colleague). Many thanks! Lee
SYSinternal Help needed
I have TCPview installed and whois with the Microsoft SYSinternal Suite app, and when I right-click to use whois in TCPview my computer gives me an error: Cannot resolve names or use local names. I'm pretty confident my network has been hacked into, and I need this program to work, I've been playing video games between 2 steam accounts where I've been tracked into every match I enter. When I try to run the Whois command prompt it doesn't load.Blog post - Install or update the SysInternals Suite using PowerShell
Wrote a blog post on how to install or update your Sysinternals Suite using PowerShell, link to post https://powershellisfun.com/2023/01/27/install-or-update-your-sysinternals-suite-using-powershell/ . You can read there how it works, and yes, you can install it using the Windows Store, but where's the fun in that 😉 (And... The Windows Store is not available on your Windows Server management VM, for example) The script I made : function Install-SysInternalsSuite { param ( [parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string]$InstallPath ) #Create the installation folder if not already present if (-not (Test-Path -path $InstallPath)) { try { New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $InstallPath -ErrorAction Stop | Out-Null Write-Host ("Specified installation path {0} not found, creating now...." -f $InstallPath) -ForegroundColor Green } catch { Write-Warning ("Install path {0} not found, creating now...." -f $InstallPath) Write-Warning ("Error creating path {0}, check path and permissions. Exiting now..." -f $InstallPath) return } } else { Write-Host ("Specified installation path {0} found, continuing...." -f $InstallPath) -ForegroundColor Green } #Check if the previous download folder is present.
