Make vs Buy, or the Not Invented Here Syndrome

I spent the week at Suffolk Law School’s Clinnnovation conference, followed by a great summit where we discussed how to train the next generation of lawyers to code. Imagining a group of excited new coders made me think about the risks and benefits of coding that we might not have Read more…

Initial version of HotDocs Component Generator is now available

The HotDocs Component Generator for Google Sheets is now available in the Chrome Web Store. This is an evolution of a few techniques I’ve discussed on this blog that is more user friendly than PowerShell and doesn’t require you to learn JavaScript. Read more about it here: http://nonprofittechy.com/projects/hotdocs-computation-generator/.

Form Automation

The automation's the thing

Without true automation, guided interviews that produce legal forms are too difficult to justify the learning curve. As I have stated on this blog before, I am working on updating the Greater Boston Legal Services Eviction Defense System, a tool that helps lawyers and nonlawyer advocates complete legal forms for Read more…

Document Assembly

Using Powershell to manage large HotDocs interviews

If you use the document assembly product HotDocs, you may know that the main component file (which contains the interview logic and variables used to turn the template into a finished document) is an XML file. HotDocs Developer, the official editor for the component file, is relatively easy to use. Read more…

Improve Your Windows 10 Deployment with Powershell and Configuration Manager

My favorite part of my IT work is finding a way to automate, speed-up, and take away busy work. We end up purchasing about 50 new workstations each year. A few years ago we invested in a product that was supposed to speed up our workstation image deployments. It made it Read more…

Using Powershell to Help Migrate Your Users' Connection to Sharepoint to a New Site

If you are using many SharePoint lists and want to connect them to Outlook automatically for your users, you have probably noticed that the official tools for this are lacking. We don’t get nearly the simplicity of Exchange Public Folders without a lot of work, from the difficulty in just Read more…

Group Policy

Restore a Deleted GPO (when you have AD recycle bin turned on, system state backup but no GPO backups)

This is mostly to save some notes for myself. I’m in the middle of migrating our Sharepoint Lists to a new server, and one step was cleaning up the old GPOs that assigned those lists to users in Outlook. I went ahead and deleted those before figuring out that using Read more…

Remove a SharePoint List from Outlook's Default SharePoint Lists with Powershell

There’s a very useful Administrative Template for Outlook that allows you to install a set of Default SharePoint Lists with just Group Policy. Unfortunately–there’s no way to remove that set of lists with a GPO, such as you may want to do if the content was migrated to a new Read more…

Powershell

Logoff a specific user from all servers (useful for password changes, e.g.)

We have periodic password changes in our environment, which sometimes can cause account lockouts if the user has many open (or disconnected and not logged off) remote desktop sessions. This post describes a Powershell script that will help prevent this problem by logging the specified user off all machines in Read more…

Some Miscellaneous Powershell Scripts/snippets

I’ve just posted a few additional scripts that I’ve used over the years up on GitHub. There are a few scripts that I use mostly in auditing AD. I’ve also added some snippets that I’ve used to add AD photos (displayed in Outlook and Sharepoint), decommission user accounts, and create Read more…

This isn't ready for release just yet. But something cool--pretty soon we'll have a website with the full Massachusetts Sanitary Code translated into plain language English, Spanish and organized by easy to understand categories. Our WIP site: https://t.co/LtdNL386GA
