Have you ever needed to script granting or revoking user rights, or maybe just querying for user rights? If the answer is “Yes”, most likely you have had to use NTRIGHTS from the good old Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit or do some funky magic around SECEDIT. It is a pitty there is no native PowerShell way to manage stuff like this. But, it is a good thing there are MVPs like Tony who has created a PowerShell module that does some interesting things around user rights locally and remotely on Windows systems. All credits for this PowerShell module of course go to Tony as he build and owns it.
