Hibernation Windows Server/Client

The hiberfil.sys file came into existence when Windows introduced a feature called hibernation. Many Windows users were initially confused by the unusual size of this mysterious file, but that is explained by how hibernation works. Hibernation is a feature that will let you save power without turning your computer off. It’s like a standby mode. It does this by momentarily freezing your system, which requires the use of memory. The memory needed to hibernate is stored in the hiberfil.sys file, which is why the file is so large. This file can be deleted from Windows Server 2008 by running a command.

To Delete Hiberfil.sys From Windows Server 2008 or Windows 7

Click on “Start,” then “Run.”

To Disable;
Type “powercfg.exe /hibernate off” and then press “Enter.”

If you want enable Hibernation type;

Type “powercfg.exe /hibernate on” and then press “Enter.”

Get the username of a person logged onto a computer remotely using PowerShell and WMI

If you want to verify the remote user in your Network or someone hammering the internet.
first we need to verify the local Network to enabled netflow on their Cisco router to do a show top-talkers. Once we got an IP address we were able to find the machine, but not who.  So I quickly entered the following into PowerShell and got the person we were after (change COMPUTERNAME to the target machine name).

   

• Get-WmiObject Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName "COMPUTERNAME" |
•  Select-Object -ExpandProperty UserName

You will need to have admin rights on the target machine for the above to work.

Another way you can do it is to use wmic to achieve the same result, enter the below into a command prompt window, changing COMPUTERNAME to the target machine.

   

• wmic.exe /node:COMPUTERNAME computersystem get username

  This powershell Command will help you out culprit, on your Network. so that you can restrict your Intranet/Internet.
