Internet Explorer vs. the web...

These are notes on ways to have Internet Explorer display specific sites content as a different version.

So you have IE 11+ and you have some site that 'requires' IE 7. What do you do?
The main methods:

• GPO
•  New group policy settings for Internet Explorer 11
• meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"


• Recoding pages
• Guide from StackOverflow
• Using an appliance to modify the HTML traffic
• Force compatibility mode
• GPO
• Pretty good post by Daniel Classon
• Browser settings
• IIS Settings - if you own the content
• IE Tools
• Enterprise Mode, a compatibility mode that runs on Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1 Update and Windows 7 devices, lets websites render using a modified browser configuration that’s designed to emulate Internet Explorer 8, avoiding the common compatibility problems associated with web apps written and tested on older versions of Internet Explorer.

Home vs. Business

Make sure you're clear to change your password

The following script I use to verify that I am not logged in anywhere else before I change my domain password.

@echo off

set me=logon

for /F %%S in (myservers.txt) do (@echo %%S && @query session /SERVER:%%S | find "%me%")

• Change `me` to your domain logon
• create myservers.txt with a list of the servers you want to limit your search to, then save it in the same folder as this script.

Cheap Portal Monitor

Below is a script that I use to check that the portals are running and errors are not present. Sometime services lie!

@echo off

cls

SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION ENABLEEXTENSIONS

set pre=http://

set sufix=^.domain^.org/lawson/portal

set lbpsufix=^.domain^.root^.loc/lbp9

set lbisufix=^.domain^.root^.loc:9080/efs/

:: Inteded to have wget installed on host pc

set wgetpath=C:\wget\bin

:: intended to be run from USB drive

set locroot=%~dp0

rem <esc>[<attribute>;<foreground>;<background>m

set yellow=[1;33;40m

set cyan=[1;36;40m

set red=[1;31;40m

set normal=[0;32;40m

goto start

:start

cd %locroot%\scripts\Infor\

@del /Q h*.tmp.txt && @cls

@del /Q index.html.* && @cls

@del /Q out.*txt && @cls

@del /Q final.txt && @cls

@del /Q finalf.txt && @cls

@del /Q SSOServlet@_action* && @cls

@del /Q null && @cls

goto:flow

:flow

for %%M in (server1 server2) do call :verportal %%M

for %%N in (server3 server4) do call :verportal1 %%N

for %%O in (server5 server6) do call :verportal2 %%O

@cls

call :doublecheck

call :display

goto:EOF

:verportal

%wgetpath%\wget %pre%%1%sufix% 1>nul 2>"%1.tmp.txt"

find /c "connected" "%1.tmp.txt" >NULL

if %errorlevel% equ 1 goto notthere

goto:end

:verportal1

%wgetpath%\wget %pre%%1%lbpsufix% 1>nul 2>"%1.tmp.txt"

set result=("type "%1.tmp.txt" | @find /i "connecting" | @find /i "connected"")

find /c "connected" "%1.tmp.txt" >NULL

if %errorlevel% equ 1 goto notthere

goto:end

:verportal2

%wgetpath%\wget %pre%%1%lbisufix% 1>nul 2>"%1.tmp.txt"

set result=("type "%1.tmp.txt" | @find /i "connecting" | @find /i "connected"")

find /c "connected" "%1.tmp.txt" >NULL

if %errorlevel% equ 1 goto notthere

goto:end

:notthere

echo ------- FAILURE reaching page!!!!

goto:end

:doublecheck

echo Checks to see if 200 OK was received ^| 1 = was received

for /r %%B in ("h*.tmp.txt") do (@find /c "200 OK" %%B) >> out.txt

for /r %%C in (out.txt) do (@type out.txt | @findstr /E /R /X ".*1$" >> final.txt)

for /r %%D in (out.txt) do (@type out.txt | @findstr /E /R /X ".*0$" >> finalf.txt)

goto:end

:display

for /F "delims=\ tokens=4,5" %%E in (final.txt) do @echo %cyan% %%E

for /F "delims=\ tokens=4,5" %%F in (finalf.txt) do @echo %red% %%F

goto:end

:end

@echo %normal%

:EOF

endlocal

exit /B

-

Output looks like:

Checks to see if 200 OK was received | 1 = was received

 server1.TMP.TXT: 1
 server2.TMP.TXT: 1
 server3.TMP.TXT: 1
 server4.TMP.TXT: 1
 server5.TMP.TXT: 1
 server6.TMP.TXT: 0
