Disable hybernation and delete hyberfil.sys on multiple remote computers

Create a folder on the root of your C: drive.  I named miune Cleanup_Hyberfil.  In that folder put, Psexec.exe, Psinfo.exe and a txt file name COMPUTERS.TXT that has the computers you want to target.  Make a batch file in the same folder with the following content:

PSEXEC @COMPUTERS.TXT -u domain\username -p {password} -d -e -h %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\NET.EXE user Administrator {password}


psinfo -d Free @COMPUTERS.TXT -u localhost\Administrator -p {password}

psexec @COMPUTERS.TXT -u Administrator -p {password} %windir%\system32\powercfg /H OFF

psinfo -d Free @COMPUTERS.TXT -u localhost\Administrator -p {password}

PAUSE

Change screen resolution remotely on multiple computers

Download ResSwitch from:

http://www.naughter.com/qres.html

Put into a folder on the root of C: with PSexec. Put target computers in a text file named COMPUTERS.txt. Create a batch file with the following content, (edit according to the desired resolution):

psexec @COMPUTERS.TXT -u domain\username -p password -c -d -e -f -i %cd%\ResSwitch.exe /WIDTH:1280 /HEIGHT:1024 /DEPTH:32 /UPDATEREGISTRY /GLOBAL /RESETpause

Retrieve the uptime for multiple computers

Download uptime.exe from Microsoft:

Place psexec.exe, COMPUTERS.txt, and uptime.exe in the same folder.

psexec @COMPUTERS.TXT -u domain\username -p password  -c -e -f uptime.exe >> C:\uptime.txt

Will output the uptime for each machine to C:\uptime.txt on your local machine.
