Quickly find expiring public certificates
If you need to know when a server’s public certificate will expire, use this:
dir Cert:\LocalMachine\my | where {$_.issuer -notlike "*DC=*"} | fl subject,friendlyname,notafter
This assumes that your internal Certification Authority has an LDAP name (Windows based CAs usually do), so we’re looking for certificates NOT issued by such a CA. The next step would then of course be to automate this, for example have this script run on a daily basis, read what’s in the “NotAfter” property and alert an administrator 30 days in advance to make sure transitioning to a new certificate will not cause the service to be interrupted.

Reconnecting iSCSI Targets
Recently I noticed that my backups were failing. I’m using Windows Server Backup with iSCSI LUNs mapped to individual servers. After looking at a server, I saw that the iSCSI LUN was no longer present on the server.
