Carbon v1.1 is out. It is backwards-compatible with v1.0. Get the bits at BitBucket.

Upgrade Instructions

• On Windows 2008 R2, custom identies that run IIS app pools need the SeBatchLogonRight. Install-IisAppPool now grants this privilege on all operating systems. If this won’t work in your environment, you can remove these privileges with Revoke-Privilege.

Enhancements

General

• Fixed some typos and ommissions in the v0.5.0.1 and v0.5.0.0 sections of the release notes.
• Updated Import-Carbon.ps1 script to import Carbon regardless of the name of the directory Carbon is installed in.

Certificates

• Added IssuedTo and IssuedBy properties to X509Certificate2 objects. The values match what the Certificates MMC snap-in displays.
• Added DisplayName property to X509Store objects, to show the names of the stores as they are displayed in the Certificates MMC snap-in.

Computer

• Created Resolve-NetPath for getting the path to the Windows net.exe command/application. Updated all functions that call net.exe to use this function to resolve its path. Thanks to Paul Aage Aasheim for discovering that when running login scripts, net.exe isn’t in the path.

IIS

• Created Get-IisHttpHeader for getting the custom HTTP headers for a website or one of its sub-directories.
• Created Set-IisHttpHeader for creating/setting a custom HTTP header for a website or one of its sub-directories.
• Created Get-IisMimeMap for getting the file extension to MIME type mappings for the IIS web server.
• Created Remove-IisMimeMap for removing a file extension to MIME type mapping for the IIS web server.
• Created Set-IisMimeMap for creating/setting a file extension to MIME type mapping for the IIS web server.
• When creating an app pool that runs under a custom, non-service account, Install-IisAppPool grants that user the SeBatchLogonRight.
• Install-IisAppPool writes an error if its user account doesn’t exist (i.e. if the value of the Username parameter doesn’t exist).

Privileges

• Improved exception handling in Grant-Privilege and Revoke-Privilege.
• Grant-Privilege and Revoke-Privilege now write an error message if an identity doesn’t exist.

Bug Fixes

Computer

• Install-SmbShare can’t find net.exe when running as part of a Windows logon script. Thanks to Paul Aage Aasheim for identifying and reporting this bug. All usages of the net.exe application were updated to use the new Resolve-NetPath function, which get the path to net.exe without assuming it is in the user’s PATH environment variable.

Users and Groups

• Test-Identity no longer writes an error if it can’t find a fully-qualified local user, e.g. $env:COMPUTERNAME\Username.
