Find Windows Install Date

Hello,
I'm trying to create an inventory report that lists the "Windows Install date" on all my PC's.
Is ZEN capable of generating a report like this? I'm not seeing anything when trying to create a custom report??
Thank you.

Find OS Install date across all computers in AD

Hello,
I'm kind of a new guy at this. I have parts of the script, but I don't know how to link them together. I want to generate a list of computers with the date the OS was installed on. Here's what I got:
It's all a bit of a mess I know... but I would like to incorporate try/catch (see below)
get-adcomputer -filter * -SearchBase "OU=Desktop Machines,OU=Computers,OU=MyBusiness,DC=example,DC=example"
Get-WmiObject win32_operatingsystem -ComputerName
$wmi.converttodatetime($WMI.installdate)
$result = ForEach ($computers) {
Try {([WMI]'').ConvertToDateTime((Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).InstallDate) -erroraction stop}
Catch {Write-Warning "Unable to connect to $c" }
Hope someone can help!
Kind regards,
Sam Colman

Finder Window - Date Modified Column Keeps Changing

When I open a Finder window, change the size of the "Date Modified" column then close the Finder window, the next time I open the same Finder window, the "Date Modified" column will compress the size of the column.
Why isn't Finder 10.9 maintaining my column changes?
Any assitance or insight whould be appreciated.

I solved the scrunched Date Modified column header in a similar fashion but added the Date Added field, which fixed the width of both Date columns.
After doing so, I now find both Date-oriented columns display and read dynamically the actual date and time.
I'm now looking for a solution to that issue, explained here:
finder window date added date modified show date time always

Finder window date added date modified show date time always

Is there a preference setting to have a finder window with Date Added and Date Modified columns enabled to always show the date and time? Currently, the column information is dynamic, like just providing a time where you infer Today, or one column does show the date and time but the other only shows the date, or it reads Today, 12:31pm.
I want every window when displaying Date Added or Date Modified columns to always, consistently show the date and time, e.g. 3/15/14, 7:31AM.
Aloha and Mahalo!

I found half of the answer: View:Show View Options - Deselect Use Relative Dates.
Now I just need a solution to always show the time and not only the date.
Curiously, when you initially enable a column in a Finder window, it shows both the date and time; however when you return to the window after closing it, you lose the time of day on Date Added, but not on Date Modified. -- Bug or Feature?

Error when trying to install the iSCSI target - Cannot find the Windows PowerShell data file 'ImportExportIscsiTargetConfiguration.psd1'

Hi,
I'm just attempting to setup an iSCSI target on a freshly installed Windows 2012r2 box, but I get the following error when attempting to Create and iSCSI virtual disk via the wizard after a successful
installation of the iSCSI target role.
The full error is:
Cannot find the Windows PowerShell data file 'ImportExportIscsiTargetConfiguration.psd1' in directory 'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\IscsiTarget\en-GB\', or in any parent culture.
I tried to uninstall, then reinstall the role but no go.
The Server Locale and UI was all updated to en-GB but this folder does not appear to exist in this location. Rather, the folder I can see is:
'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\IscsiTarget\en-US\'
I'm going to attempt to copy the 'en-US' folder to 'en-GB' to see what happens, but I would like to know why this has occurred in the first place? Other roles have installed (such as AD DS AD CS and
IIS) on other machines with no issue.
Many thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
The error "Cannot find the Windows PowerShell data file 'ImportExportIscsiTargetConfiguration.psd1'" occured, because the file 'ImportExportIscsiTargetConfiguration.psd1' can't be loaded under the folder en-GB with current culture.
I recommend you can copy this .psd1 file under 'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\IscsiTarget'. Essentially if PowerShell can’t find the specified data file for the current culture it will “fallback” to the top-level data
file in this case.
For more detailed information, please refer to this article:

If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Updating ipod on fresh Windows install without losing data?

Hey guys.
I have an 80gb iPod Classic, and my iTunes had about 72gb worth of data in the playlist. Recently I had to reformat my system drive and do a fresh Windows install, and as such my iTunes playlist obviously got wiped. If I readd everything that was on my iPod into the playlist, will iTunes try to wipe my iPod and transfer everything over again, or will it recognize that the files are exactly the same and only copy the new files over that weren't originally on it?

If your iPod is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Once the iPod is in manual mode you can add to it without losing any content but you will have to drag it from the library yourself: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
However once you are safely connected you can copy content from the iPod to iTunes. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Windows Server 2008 doesn't show install date

Windows Server 2008 doesn't show install date for applications and update.<br /><br />It only shows "Unspecified", at the very top.<img alt="" src="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/286394"

In Programs and Features, you can have more options by right click on the tabbed window showing Name, Publisher and Installed on. May be you can check that once otherwise try to reinstall the features using Turn Windows features on /off.

File dates not updated in finder window (Mozilla only)

OK, folks - here's a real puzzler for you. I'm using Mozilla 1.7.12 to maintain a simple set of web pages. When I save an HTML file with Mozilla composer, the file's modify date in the Finder window does not update consistently. (The window is in list view.)
The date does not update as long as that finder window remains in the background. Selecting the window sometimes updates one file date (but not others if I've modified multiple files). Switching to icon view sometimes updates the file dates, sometimes not. Only logging out and back in (i.e., starting a new Finder) guarantees that all dates are current. This only happens with Mozilla composer - saving files with other software results in the date in the finder window updating immediately. It seems to me this behavior is new since I updated to OSX 10.4.3, but I can't be positive.
Any bright ideas? - Andy
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Is this causing any problems, or is it just a quirky behavior? For example, if you change to list view and sort by date, does it still get the dates wrong?
I'm thinking this is probably a really marginal bug, where Composer isn't telling the Finder to refresh the date as most applications do, but then, Mozilla does a lot of unMaclike things. Eventually the Finder figures out that the files have been updated though. There are probably a host of ways you can force it to update, as you've already discovered. You can also force it to update with a simple AppleScript:
tell application "Finder"
update every item of window 1
end tell
This tells the Finder to update everything in the frontmost window to match what's on the disk.

Downloaded an app and now 'double click to install' is showing up like a ghost in the background of my finder windows?

I am a photographer and I downloaded order software from Miller's (ROES software). The software would not install correctly and now when I open a finder window the 'double click to install' is showing up like a ghost from their installation window? Any ideas? TIA

Hi..
Since it's third party, (non Apple) software, you need to visit the ROES software website for support.

Blank data CD doesn't show up in finder window, but I can burn music onto..

When I load a blank CD (or CD-RW), iTunes opens. But no icon shows up, either in iTunes, in the Finder window or on the Desktop. If I select a playlist in iTunes, the Burn Disc icon appears and I can burn the disc (even thought I can't see it). Once burned, the disc DOES show up on the Desktop and all is well.
HOWEVER, I cannot move data onto a blank disc. System Profiler says the disc is loaded, but the Finder doesn't see it. I saw something somewhere about running "repair permissions," but I don't know how to do that and don't know whether it's the thing to do, anyhow.
Thoughts, anyone?
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

One possibility is that you have "Ignore" selected for when you insert a blank CD.
To change this go to System Preferences below the blue , then click on CDs&DVDs. From this box you are able to change the preferences for when a disc is inserted.
Changing it to "Ask what to do" will prompt a dialog box where you can choose an "action" such as open the Finder. This should allow the disc icon to be visible on the desktop when a blank disc is inserted.
Hope this helps.
