hi,
Is there a single command available to convert the format of date from one to another? Such as:
mmddyy to yyyymmdd
Hi all
I'm trying to figure out the best way to perfom validation on a string representing a UNC path. I would like to check that the path has a fourth backslash and also has some characters after the fourth backslash, e.g.
\\blah\blah\blah = ok
\\blah\blah or \\blah\blah\ = not ok
"blah" could be anything.
Is regex the simplest way to go with this or is there an easier way?

Hello!
I need some help with my PowerShell script. This is what I got so far.
Get-ChildItem p:\ -Include *.* -Recurse | Where { ! $_.PSIsContainer } | Select-Object Extension,LastWriteTime | Sort-Object -Property Extension -Unique | Out-File c:\skriptit\file.txt
I need to find out every different extension what there is our shared files. I want only one file for each extension and it have to be last time when somebody used(write) it. I also need whole path and over 260 character
long. Also every subfolders and only files, no folders.
This script what I have, it take first extension it finds and take that Last Write Time. Also threre is no full path and no over 260 characters.

I have hundreds of Excel files and one main file that has links to each of these files, but in order for the data to be pulled into the main excel file I need to have every file opened within the same Excel instance and then work through each one. If Microsoft let me open more than 15 files at a time this would be as easy as it was back in the day to open them all at once, but I understand why this isn't allowed anymore... So I created a script to open all of the files with:
$xl = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application
foreach($file in $files){
$wb = $xl.Workbooks.open($filename)
}
$xl.visible = $trueI am also going to be processing hundreds of rows per file. I don't care about the order the files are opened in necessarily. So I have narrowed in on usingStart-Job like so because of the unordered opening and the overhead of starting the Start-Job is better than the forking process I have tried the following:
Start-Job -ScriptBlock {Param( $filename); Write-Host $filename "*" $input "*"; $input.Workbooks.open($filename) } -inputobject $xl -ArgumentList @($filename)
~my_path_and_filename~ * System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.PipelineReader`1+<GetReadEnumerator>d__0[System.Object] *
You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (open:String) [], RuntimeException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeMethodOnNullStart-Job -ScriptBlock {Param( $filename); Write-Host $filename "*" $args[0] "*"; $filename.Workbooks.open($args[0]) } -ArgumentList @($xl, $filename)
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass * ~my_path_and_filename~ *
Method invocation failed because [Deserialized.System.__ComObject#{000208db-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}] doesn't contain a method named 'open'.+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (open:String) [], RuntimeException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFoundStart-Job -ScriptBlock {Param($xl, $filename); Write-Host $filename "*" $xl "*"; $xl.Workbooks.open($filename) } -ArgumentList @($xl, $filename)

Method invocation failed because [Deserialized.System.__ComObject#{000208db-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}] doesn't contain a method named 'open'.
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (open:String) [], RuntimeException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFoundSo, is there a way to pass an Excel Object to the Start-Job cmdlet? Or is there a way to pass an Excel object out of the Start-Job so the main Object can take it over? And lastly, when receiving a job, does one get access to the actual objects inside of the job?
I've got this script
[int]$copies = Read-Host "Number of copies"
for ($i=0;$i -lt $copies;$i++) {
Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\USER NAME\Desktop\PrintMe" | foreach {Start-Process -FilePath $_.FullName -Verb Print}
}Which works fine if the documents are in libre format, but if they are in word MS Word starts opening up an instance for every document and then comes up with loads of pop up messages about the Template file and thing's.
This come's up although there is a printer linked to the computer and I'm able to print thing's out by opening the file and selecting print....
Not too sure what's it's struggling with
How do you delete all the txt files from one folder and all sub folders?
remove-item -Path Logs -Filter *.txt -Recurse
This works but it tries also to delete the subfolders and raises some exceptions
remove-item -Path Logs\* -Filter *.txt -Recurse
This doesn't delete the txt files in the subfolders
remove-item -Path Logs -Include *.txt -Recurse
This does exactly nothing, most probably because the Path has no wildcard
remove-item -Path Logs\* -Include *.txt -RecurseThis doesn't delete the txt files in the subfolders
It seems a simple task, but it doesn't, so I tried all the combinations of path with include and filter but no one really works, what I missing?
Hi All,

Currently my Access Control team have to manually issue PKI Certificates from the Certificate Authority console. I looking to automate this via powershell. I am able to Sumit the .req file to the CA and retreive the .cer but cannot Issue the Pending Request.
Im really struggling to find any info/help about this.
Whats is really bugging me is I cant figure out how I can issue the correct RequestID from the CA, I can I let the script know the RequestID of the certificate I have just submitted?
Can anyone give me a sample code..
Sorry if I havent explained myself well......
Hello,
I have a shared folder on a Windows 2003 R2 server that users are allowed full control to. I have setup permissions on the root of the share, and all sub-folders inherit the permissions. If a user wanted to change the permissions, they could, but they could easily remove the Administrator access and System access as well. So I'm looking for a script to verify that the Administrators and System accounts have access to the folders.
However, I can't seem to get it working. Logged in as a member of the Administrators group, I have setup a test folder so I have ownership over the folder. Then I remove the Administrators group from the ACL through the GUI. So I end up with a folder where I'm the owner, but have no rights to edit/view the contents.
In powershell, if I run a simple:
$acl= get-acl $folder$allinherit=[System.Security.AccessControl.InheritanceFlags]"ContainerInherit", "ObjectInherit"$allPropagation=[System.Security.AccessControl.PropagationFlags]"None"$AR= New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("Administrators", "FullControl", $allInherit, $allPropagation, "Allow")$acl.SetAccessRule($AR) Set-Acl -AclObject $acl-Path $folder
I keep getting a Permission Denied error when running this. Is there anyway to add a permission to a folder when I'm the owner but don't have ACL rights? I can do it through the GUI without any errors.
Thanks for your time.
Hello,
I was trying to take ownership & fix permissions on Home Folder/My Documents structures, I ran into the common problem in PowerShell where Set-Acl & Get-Acl return access denied errors. The error occurs because the Administrators have been removed from
file permissions and do not have ownership of the files,folders/directories. (Assuming all other permissions like SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege have been enabled.
I was not able to find any information about someone successfully using native PS to resolve the issue. As I was able to solve the issues surrounding Get-Acl & Set-Acl, I wanted to share the result for those still looking for an answer.
----
Question: How do you use only Powershell take ownership and reset permissions for files or folders you do not have permissions or ownership of?
----
Problem:
Using the default function calls to the object fail for a folder that the administrative account does not have permissions or file ownership. You get the following error for Get-Acl:
PS C:\> Get-Acl -path F:\testpath\locked Get-Acl : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.+ get-acl <<<< -path F:\testpath\locked+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-Acl], UnauthorizedAccessException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetAclCommand
If you create a new ACL and attempt to apply it using Set-Acl, you get:
PS C:\> Set-Acl -path F:\testpath\locked -AclObject $DirAcl Set-Acl : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation. At line:1 char:8+ Set-Acl <<<< -path "F:\testpath\locked" -AclObject $DirAcl+ CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (F:\testpath\locked:String) [Set-Acl], UnauthorizedAccessException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetAclCommand
Use of other functions like .GetAccessControl will result in a similar error: "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation."
How do you replace owner on all subcontainers and objects in Powershell with resorting to external applications like takeown, icacls, Windows Explorer GUI, etc.?

Hello everyone,
I'd like to ask you if it is possible (As I'm newbie in powershell) and how to extract data(specific lines) from a log (txt) and import them in excel.
Here the "problem" in details:
I receive every day a specific log file (in text) from an application that traces some transactions.
The log filename has the following format: LOGyyyymmddHHMM.log
Sometimes, I have an error message and I that's I need to extract and import it in an Excel file.
Here how it appears the lines in the log(not the real log as it is for a medical application):
"13/12/23 07:30:04 This is the error message. <The rest of the line, I want to discard it."
So, firstly I would like to insert in the excel file, in one column the date,in the other the hour that the error happened and on the third one the error message (in this case "This is the error message") and the rest of the line to be discarded.
Secondly I'd like to run this script every day at 02h00 for each new file based on it's name (file name given above) and add the results in the excel file.
And for the end, I need one excel file per month.
For the record, I tried this one but it misses a lot of code in order to accomplish that I need:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
$mylog = Get-Content C:\CFT\LOG2013122323590018
$mylog | Select-String "This is the error message"
So, now $mylog contains all the lines with the error but as I explained above, I need some more.
Does anyone know if it is possible?
Thank you in advance Guys.
I am trying to get the list of directory of multiple servers, and trying the below code. But, When i execute the script, I get DirectoryList as empty. I have tried Invoke-Command, It doesn't work as WInrm can't be turned on system due to some reason. Is there anyother way to get list of folders of array of servers.
$Server = "localhost", "k0z0s" , "sabee" $DirectoryList= $Server| ForEach-Object { Get-ChildItem $DriveLetter -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object { ($_.PSIsContainer -eq $true)} | Select-Object Name,FullName} }
Foreach ($Directory in $DirectoryList) { IF ($Directory -ne $null) { $DirectoryName= $Directory.FullName write-Output "Directory is $DirectoryName" } Else { write-Output "Directory is Null" } }

Hi, i was reading the Windows PowerShell System Requirements and stumbled over the following sentence:
"..."due to a change in the runtime activation policy in Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0, Windows PowerShell host programs that werewritten for Windows PowerShell 2.0 and compiled with Common Language Runtime (CLR) 2.0 cannot run without modification in Windows PowerShell 3.0, which is compiled with CLR 4.0."
Can someone explain that to me? What are Powershell host programs?
Thanks, Rob

Hello
I have a Powershell script to convert XLS files to CSV. The CMD file calls the PS1 script, it takes all the XLS files from my input folder and convert them to CSV. that works nice if you run the CMD file from the desktop.
The problem starts when I use a Windows Scheduled Tasks to run the CMD files every 10 minutes. I get below error and the files are not converted
New-Object : Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80080005 Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE)).
