Force removal of VMware Tools, Program Files, and Windows Services
# This script will manually rip out all VMware Tools registry entries and files for Windows 2008-2019
# Tested for 2019, 2016, and probably works on 2012 R2 after the 2016 fixes.
# This function pulls out the common ID used for most of the VMware registry entries along with the ID
# associated with the MSI for VMware Tools.

If ($item.GetValue('ProductName') -eq 'VMware Tools') {

[Reload PostgreSQL config] After updating pg_hba.conf or postgresql.conf, the server needs the config needs to be reloaded. #postgres

After updating pg_hba.conf or postgresql.conf, the server needs the config needs to be reloaded. The easiest way to do this is by restarting the postgres service:

service postgresql restart

When the service command is not available (no upstart on Synology NAS, for example), there are some more creative ways to reload the config. Note this first one needs to be done under the user that runs postgres (usually the user=postgres).

user#  sudo su postgres
postgres#  pg_ctl reload
jar xf myfile.jar
