+title: "Horizon bulk CSV generator"

+
+I had a bit of a thought recently that each time I generate a bulk upload CSV file for Horizon I spend more time copy and pasting data to-and-from Excel and notepad versus actually inputting data so I threw together a bulk upload generator.
+
+<label>Domain: <input type="text" id="domain" placeholder="example.com"></label>
+
+<label>Extension Range: <input type="text" id="range" placeholder="200-220"></label>
+
+<label><input type="checkbox" id="device">Include Devices</label>
+
+<button onclick="downloadCSV()">Download CSV</button>
+
+<div id="preview"></div>
+
+<script>
+ let lastGenerated = { headers: [], rows: [], domain: "", start: 0, end: 0 };
+
+ function buildData() {
+ const domain = document.getElementById('domain').value.trim();
+ const rangeInput = document.getElementById('range').value.trim();
+ const includeDevice = document.getElementById('device').checked;
+
+ // Parse range safely
+ const parts = rangeInput.split('-').map(p => parseInt(p, 10));
+ if (parts.length !== 2 || isNaN(parts[0]) || isNaN(parts[1]) || parts[0] > parts[1] || !domain) {
+ document.getElementById('preview').innerHTML = "<p style='color:red'>Enter a valid domain and range.</p>";
+ lastGenerated = { headers: [], rows: [], domain: "", start: 0, end: 0 };
+ return;
+ }
+
+ const start = parts[0];
+ const end = parts[1];
+
+ // Headers
+ let headers = ["User ID","First Name","Last Name","Email","Phone Number","Extension"];
+ if (includeDevice) headers.push("Device");
+ headers.push("Service Pack");
+
+ let rows = [headers];
+
+ for (let ext = start; ext <= end; ext++) {
+ let userId = `ext${ext}@${domain}`;
+ let lastName = ext.toString();
+ let email = "email@example.com";
+ let servicePack = "Premium";
+
+ let row = [userId, "", lastName, email, "", ext.toString()];
+ if (includeDevice) row.push(""); // device placeholder
+ row.push(servicePack);
+
+ rows.push(row);
+ }
+
+ // Save for download later
+ lastGenerated = { headers, rows, domain, start, end };
+
+ // Build preview
+ let html = "<h3>Preview</h3><table><thead><tr>";
+ headers.forEach(h => { html += `<th>${h}</th>`; });
+ html += "</tr></thead><tbody>";
+ rows.slice(1, 11).forEach(r => {
+ html += "<tr>";
+ r.forEach(cell => { html += `<td>${cell}</td>`; });
+ html += "</tr>";
+ });
+ if (rows.length > 11) {
+ html += `<tr><td colspan="${headers.length}">...and ${rows.length - 11} more rows</td></tr>`;
+ }
+ html += "</tbody></table>";
+ document.getElementById('preview').innerHTML = html;
+ }
+
+ function downloadCSV() {
+ if (!lastGenerated.rows.length) {
+ alert("Please enter valid inputs first.");
+ return;
+ }
+
+ const { rows, domain, start, end } = lastGenerated;
+
+ const csvContent = rows.map(r => r.join(",")).join("\n");
+ const blob = new Blob([csvContent], { type: "text/csv" });
+ const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
+
+ const safeDomain = domain.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9.-]/g, "_");
+ const fileName = `${safeDomain}-${start}-${end}.csv`;
+
+ const a = document.createElement("a");
+ a.href = url;
+ a.download = fileName;
+ a.click();
+ URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
+ }

+title: "Windows PATH without admin rights"
+date: 2025-08-20T16:37:00
+tags: ["Snippets", "Windows", "Work"]
+---
+
+I was recently given a new (albeit more locked down) work laptop and wanted to amend my `PATH` variable to use some common command line tools I usually end up installing.
+
+My usual process is to fire up `sysdm.cpl`, and hit up "Environmental Variables" under the "Advanced" tab and edit it from there, however this now requires admin permissions, and providing these amends the admin users path, not your current user.
+
+The workaround here is to run `rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables` which will get you directly to the page you're after. Amend away!
