For those of you that prefer Firefox over IE, here’s a little gem to ease the troubles you undoubtedly have with SharePoint:

You can enable NTLM credential pass-through by doing the following:

  1. Type about:config into your address bar.
  2. Find the preference labeled network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris.
  3. Add the URL of your SharePoint site as a value for this preference.

Voilà!  Now your SharePoint site is a “trusted site” in Firefox.

Editing Local Groups via the Command Line

I use MDT to deploy our servers here at the office and I’m frequently forgetting build steps – namely adding a certain group to the local Administrators group on all the servers I build.  I was looking for a way to script it and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it’s just a single command that can be run at the command line.

The command:

net localgroup Administrators /add "domain\domain group"

If you want to edit a group other than the local Administrators group, just change “Administrators” above to whatever the appropriate group may be.
