I think a lot of you use the SysInternals tools on your machine. They are great tools at your
disposal and have helped me a lot! You can install it using the Microsoft Store method, it will be updated like that too, but for your management server, it's nice to have an installer that works without the Microsoft Store 🙂 In this blog post, I will show you a way to install or update your SysInternals Suite.

Hey all, I created a script to extract the licensing information for all installed versions of
QuickBooks on a machine including versions that have since been deleted from the testing I have conducted but this may be wrong. I wrote this script about 2 years ago for a migration project at work but it has recently been useful for new clients to get the information as it can be run from a backend tool so users do not get interrupted. The script is fairly well commented to tell you what it is doing but if you have any questions I can answer them.
