How do I speed up this query by ignoring computers off the network faster?

Good afternoon,
I am running the below script to query the entire domain for local admins. Could anyone reccomend a way to speed this up by more quickly skipping computers that aren't on the network? Currently, every time it reaches a computer that is not on the network
it hangs for up to 20 seconds (computers on the network return the data in less than a second). If I could decrease the ping time-out time, I could speed up this query tenfold.
Script pasted below - Thank you!!!
$Searcher = New-Object DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher([ADSI]"")
$Searcher.Filter = "(objectClass=computer)"
$Computers = ($Searcher.Findall())
md C:\Reports\IBX_Local_Admins_ALL
Foreach ($Computer in $Computers)
$Path=$Computer.Path
$Name=([ADSI]"$Path").Name
write-host $Name
$members =[ADSI]"WinNT://$Name/Administrators"
$members = @($members.psbase.Invoke("Members"))
$members | foreach {$_.GetType().InvokeMember("Name", 'GetProperty',
$null, $_, $null) | out-file -append C:\Reports\IBX_Local_Admins_ALL\$name.txt

This version will not fail no matter what is in the group.
function Get-LocalAdmins{
[CmdLetBinding()]
Param(
[Parameter(
Mandatory=$true,
ValueFromPipeline=$true,
Position=0
)]$computer
Process{
Write-Verbose "Polling system: $computer"
if(Test-Connection $Computer -quiet -count 1){
$group=[ADSI]"WinNT://$computer/Administrators"
$group.Invoke("Members") |
ForEach-Object{
New-Object PsObject -Property @{
Computer=$Computer
aDSPath=$_.GetType().InvokeMember('aDSPath', 'GetProperty',$null, $_, $null)
#UserID=$_.GetType().InvokeMember('Name', 'GetProperty',$null, $_, $null)
}else{
Write-Warning "System not found: $computer"
$computers=([adsisearcher]'(objectClass=computer)').FindAll() |%{$_.Properties['name']}
$computers | Get-LocalAdmins -verbose
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hi JRV,
Thank you for your help so far! When I ran the above version, it seemed to be going fine but it stopped at a certain point saying the script was "successful", but it only queried 148 computers. I should note that it is also the same 148 computers each time
I run it. No errors, it just stops and says successful. Any ideas?
TY!

  • How to Open Ports for HP Printers for all computers within the network (router)

    Hi,
    I have the EA6700 router and a few HP printers and Multi purpose printers/scanner/fax ...
    When installing the print drivers, they are ok.  Sending to printers are not a problem.  However, the problem comes with scanning.
    The HP Software ask to open a port for it...     How do I do that?   I checked, it seems other computers are affected by it too after changing to this new router.
    I read that it can be done on the "App and gaming" section at the Security page.  Do I go to the port forwarding section?   But it only forward to one computer.  that doesn't work...    
     I'd like to open a port and a lot of other IPs can print and scan from it.
    Thanks

    Ports are not needed to be opened on the LAN side of the router for Printers and Scanners. I recommed that tiy contact hp for help and information regarding setup and configuration of those devices. Also the addition of a external Gb network switch for these devices is recommended as well. Would help eliminate any un-necessary router configuration or processing. 

  • How to speed up this query?

    I have created a demo table:
    create table demo1(d date);
    and insert some data to table:
    begin
    -- add 6000000 rows
    for i in 1..1000000 loop
    insert into demo1 values(trunc(sysdate-i));
    insert into demo1 values(trunc(sysdate-i));
    insert into demo1 values(trunc(sysdate-i));
    insert into demo1 values(trunc(sysdate-i));
    insert into demo1 values(trunc(sysdate-i));
    insert into demo1 values(trunc(sysdate-i));
    end loop;
    commit;
    end;
    The query
    select * from demo1
    where d=to_date('25.10.2004','DD.MM.YYYY')
    executed three times faster than
    select from demo1 where d=trunc(sysdate-1);
    Why? How to speed up this query if I do not want to use index?
    I have created index:
    create index demo1_indx on demo1(d);
    Execution time of queries became identical (for this volume of data).

                      SPRIDEN_pidm =SORTEST_PIDM

                     and  sortest_pidm is not null 
                    GROUP BY sortest_pidm, sortest_tesc_code))
                    GROUP BY sortest_pidm;
                   

    Hi,
    That depends on whether spriden_pidm is unique, and on what you want for results.
    Whenever you have a problem, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevamnt columns only) for all tables, and the results you want from that data.
    If you can illustrate your problem using commonly available tables (such as those in the scott or hr schemas) then you don't have to post any sample data; just post the results you want.
    Either way, explain how you get those results from that data.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using.
    It looks like you're doing something similiar to the following.
    Using the emp and dept tables in the scott schema, produce one row of output per department showing the highest salary in each job, for a given set of jobs:
    DEPTNO DNAME          LOC           JOB_1   SAL_1 JOB_2   SAL_2 JOB_3   SAL_3
        20 RESEARCH       DALLAS        ANALYST  3000 MANAGER  2975 CLERK    1100
        10 ACCOUNTING     NEW YORK      MANAGER  2450 CLERK    1300
        30 SALES          CHICAGO       MANAGER  2850 CLERK     950On each row, the jobs are listed in order by the highest salary.
    This seems to be analagous to what you're doing. The roles played by sortest_pidm, sortest_tesc_code and sortest_test_score in your sortest table are played by deptno, job and sal in the emp table. The roles played by spriden_pidm, id and name in your spriden table are played by deptno, dname and loc in the dept table.
    It sounds like you already have something like the query below, that produces the correct output, except that it does not include the dname and loc columns from the dept table.
    SELECT    deptno
    ,       MAX (DECODE (rn, 1, job))     AS job_1

                                )         AS rn
               FROM     (
                             SELECT    e.deptno

                       GROUP BY  e.deptno
                       ,           e.job
    GROUP BY  deptno
    ;Since dept.deptno is unique, there will only be one dname and one loc for each deptno, so we can change the query by replacing "deptno" with "deptno, dname, loc" throughout the query (except in the join condition, of course):
    SELECT    deptno, dname, loc                    -- Changed

               SELECT    deptno, dname, loc          -- Changed

               ,          max_sal
               ,          ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  deptno      -- , dname, loc     -- Changed
                                              ORDER BY          max_sal      DESC
                                )         AS rn

                       ,           e.job
    GROUP BY  deptno, dname, loc                    -- Changed
    ;Actually, you can keep using just deptno in the analytic PARTITION BY clause. It might be a little more efficient to just use deptno, like I did above, but it won't change the results if you use all 3, if there is only 1 danme and 1 loc per deptno.
    By the way, you don't need so many sub-queries. You're using the inner sub-query to compute the MAX, and the outer sub-query to compute rn. Analytic functions are computed after aggregate fucntions, so you can do both in the same sub-query like this:
    SELECT    deptno, dname, loc
    ,       MAX (DECODE (rn, 1, job))     AS job_1
    ,       MAX (DECODE (rn, 1, max_sal))     AS sal_1
    ,       MAX (DECODE (rn, 2, job))     AS job_2
    ,       MAX (DECODE (rn, 2, max_sal))     AS sal_2
    ,       MAX (DECODE (rn, 3, job))     AS job_3
    ,       MAX (DECODE (rn, 3, max_sal))     AS sal_3
    FROM       (
                   SELECT    e.deptno, d.dname, d.loc
              ,       e.job
              ,       MAX (e.sal)     AS max_sal
              ,       ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  e.deptno
                                           ORDER BY       MAX (sal)     DESC
                                          )       AS rn
              FROM      scott.emp    e
              ,       scott.dept   d
              WHERE     e.deptno        = d.deptno
              AND       e.job                IN ('ANALYST', 'CLERK', 'MANAGER')
                  GROUP BY  e.deptno, d.dname, d.loc
              ,       e.job

  • I just created a slideshow dvd in imovie, and when I hit finalize it said that it would take 7 hours to finalize.  I've only had my macbook pro for 6 months, and this is the first imovie I've done...is this normal?  If not how can I speed up this process?

    Hi
    Time needed can depend on several things.
    • less than 5 GB free space on Start-up (Mac OS) hard disk = Redicolous long times AND a DVD that most probably will not work OK
    Medicine - I never go under 25GB free space
    • Use of strange file formats into iDVD - can force it to de-code first then re-encode - this can take long long times
    I use
    Video - StreamingDV as from miniDV tape Cameras - or QuickTime Movies Converted to StreamingDV
    Audio - .aiff 16-bit 48 kHz - (no .mp3, .wma etc)
    • Use of old Mac - My G4 600MHz took about 24 hour per hour movie. my dG5 - about 2 hours per hour (I use Pro Quality encoding)
    • Pro Quality encoding - takes about x2 to process a movie

  • I am taking my iPhone 3G OFF the network but I wish to SAVE the SMS messages. How do I do this?

    I am taking my iPhone 3G OFF the network but I wish to SAVE/TRANSFER the SMS messages onto the  iPhone5  How do I do this?

    Tried that, didn't work.
    Turns out Safari "forces" the french web interface by using the 'hl=fr' code in the url. for example http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=fr
    Evidently that overrides local settings, even if you're logged into your Google account.
    So, since I can't modify the search query url in Safari without jb'ing my phone, I'd say this one's a bust.
    Thanks for the help though!

    After restoring my iphone 4 to factory settings, then restoring from a recent backup, my phone will reboot but keeps coming back to the "new setup or restore from backup screen". How can I by-pass this screen to go directly to the sync apps/music screen?

    Well, it's certainly behaving as though the phone that was backed up was synced to a different iTunes library.
    I'm going to throw one more thing out there... Yes, you backed it up to this computer... Was the phone previously set up to sync with this computer? Or was it syncing with a different computer and you just backed it up to this one?
    You may have to end up setting it up as a new device and rebuilding the phone by manually re-syncing your data, apps, music, etc. to the phone.
    Trying to keep your library on a different drive can be tricky. If iTunes starts up and the library isn't available, it may end up generating a new library ID, meaning that you could easily find yourself in exactly the position you're in now...
    I'm curious why there was a need to restore your phone to begin with... It may not have any bearing on this at all, but it could.

  • This query does not exist in the database in the system

    I have created a query, but when I run it, I receive this error:
    You have attempted to open query 0DAT from the Query Designer.
    However, this query does not exist in the database in the system to which you have made a connection.
    Thanks
    Joseilton

    dear Joseilton,
    the variable 0DAT ist not in active version in your system.
    Use BC to activate the variable 0DAT from InfoObject 0CALDAY.
    or
    you have to create it in your system. therefor change the namespye to SAP-namespace (starting with 0). Open one Query in your system via RRMX and select CalenderDay to create a new variable.
    name:                0DAT
    descrition:          current calender day
    processed by:        SAP EXIT
    Characteristic:      Calender Day
    variable represents: Single Value

    try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
    One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

  • How do I find out another computer's IP address on the network?

    About ten minustes ago, I noticed a PC appearing on our local Airport network. Since the network is password protected, it startled me. That computer has no business on our network, and since sometimes internet is extremely slow and we even got an email once from some copyright reinforcer, I'm scared that this PC is the PC that might have illegally downloaded movies using our network. I tried to find ways to search for its IP, so I might be able to block it or something. However, I have no idea how to find its IP address, nor do I have any idea how to search for information of computers on the network. Could anybody offer a helping hand in that?

    the first step would of course be to change the password wireless network. using WPA2 and a long, non-dictionary password should make your network reasonably secure.
    also, ensure your wireless router is password protected (screen shots from my time capsule)
    assuming the wireless router creating your network is an Apple product, launch airport utility (in applications > utilities) and enter manual setup for the device. in the summary tab, click on wireless clients
    the next window will reveal the MAC addresses of wireless clients connected to your network
    you could use the access control tab to allow/restrict access to your network by MAC address.

    When I try to deleted rejected photos in LR5 on my iMac, I get a dialog saying they can't be sent to the trash.  How can I get unwanted photos out of LR5 and off the hard drive?

    Instead of hitting just the delete key, you need to hit ⌘+Del and one of the choices will be to remove from hard drive.

  • Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

    Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

    AFP - Apple Filing Protocol
    The Network Attached Storage (NAS) that you are pointing Time Machine at does not have the features needed by Time Machine in order to do its Thing.  Time Machine needs some specific features that are not typically available on generic networked storage devices.
    There are manufactures that support the Mac OS X HFS+ file system formats and implement all the needed AFP protocol packets necessary so that they can be used with Time Machine, but apparently yours does not.
    If you are not using a networked mounted volume for Time Machine, then more information will be needed about your Time Machine setup.
