Admin-Backup-Buddy
A Windows PC robocopy batch file. This is an interactive batch file for IT admins (or home users) that backs up a user's profile. You designate whether you are saving to a network volume or to an attached disk. It will go through and avoid various Cloud services, assuming that you will be able to sync them back down, later. Useful not just for general backups, but because it grabs AppData, it also will grab important configuration data. It puts the backup inside a time-stamped folder. It saves the name (hostname) of the computer, and the user's identity.
DomainMigrationNINJA
This is a script designed to move a Mac user account from the retiring UIUC domain to the new UOFI domain
KeychainSMASH

LyncRESET
This script will reset Lync settings for when Lync will not recognize a changed password or password keychain container.
Mac2WinAD_Binder
Applescript for the purpose of binding a Mac to the Active Directory, as well as caching credentials for admin accounts and security groups
Make-Dock-Great-Again
For setting up a Mac for other users. This lets you configure the Dock on your current (admin) account to be the default for all new users. This is a simple Applescript that makes a simple terminal call.
Robocopy_HitherYon
Interactive script that copies directories from hither to yon from interactive command prompt
SPSS_Ungummer
SPSS 22 on MacOS 9.x, 10.x, and beyond gets slowed down. This runs some procedures that will clear out preferences and make it run much faster.
