Hi all,

I'm trying to parse the below data and write it into a CSV file. I need to gather all the bolded data and the script that I have allows me to get the first 16 items (which is  exactly what i need) however i'm missing one vital piece of information and that is the enclosure name (hilighted in bold and underlined). I'm not sure how i can add it. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advanced.

Hi all,

I am exploring PowerShell Web Access and I'm looking to set it up to offer self-serve capabilities to Dev/QA.  Basically I want to Dev/QA to only be able to execute scripts (no running cmdlets, etc) and only in particular directories.

The goal of this is to allow Dev/QA to get access to the scripts I would normally run, but be able to run them when I'm away for whatever reason (while still keeping them out of the rest of the system).

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

I'm trying to run a PS script to setup users connected accounts on Exchange , i'm connected to PS with ContosoAdmin:

New-ImapSubscription -Name "My IMAP" -Mailbox mailbox@domain.com -EmailAddressuser1@contoso.com -IncomingUserName "contoso\user1" -IncomingPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -String 'Pa$$word' -AsPlainText -Force) -IncomingServer imap.contoso.com  -IncomingSecurity None -IncomingPort 143

ContosoAdmin has 'Recipient Management' and 'Organization Management' roles assigned

the error I get is cant find user or group (it is the valid user mailbox). If I remove the '-Mailbox' it creates the Connected Account in ContosoAdmin account.

I need to run this for 40 user as a batch

It would appear that ConosoAdmin doesn't have permission to create the Connected Account in User1

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.

Good day im a newbie

i have a text file (LOG.TXT )that contain the following info below.

S e r i a l N u m b e r      M X L 1 0 3 0 8 3 4          TW-BW-JU-IT-12

S e r i a l N u m b e r      M X L 1 0 3 0 9 2 5           TW-BW-JU-IT-13

S e r i a l N u m b e r      M X L 1 0 3 0 9 5 9          TW-BW-JU-IT-14

i want to export this info to a Excel file using Powershell  , Maintainting the same row and column structure .

 i WAS TRYIN TO USE THE SCRIPT BELOW . BUT IT ISNT OUTPUTING CORRECTLY.

$path = "C:\Users\\Desktop\logStroe\LOG.txt"
$outPath = $path -replace ".txt",".xls"
Get-Content -path $path |
ForEach-Object {$_ -replace " ","," } |  
Out-File -filepath $outPath

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

Hello,

I have the following script whereby I want to list all the running (opened) applications on a remote computer.  It's a shared computer between two people who use the same generic ID.  Before one RDP's into it, I thought it would be interesting to see if any apps are opened before logging in. 

Here is the code:

$cred = Get-Credential
Invoke-Command -ComputerName server123 {Get-Process *mail* | Where {$_.MainWindowHandle} | Select Name,MainWindowTitle} -Cred $cred

It works in that it asks for my credentials and runs without any error...but this script also does not display any running applications. I'm not sure what it should show. Perhaps I need to add a line of code to display what it found?

Another bit of info I would like to use in this script is to also confirm that the generic ID is logged in at the time I run this script.  I could use the following bit of code:

get-wmiobject Win32_ComputerSystem -computername server123 | format-table -property username

But when I run this code I get an access denied message. I'm assuming I need to use the Get-Credential again from my first script, but I'm unsure how to use it in the get-wmiobject?

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

How can I get the CPU consumption of all threads running in a process thru powershell, in a format similar to this

I can't find any processor information when I run gwmi win32_thread|select -First 1. And theStart Address is numeric !?!  Am I missing something  :(;

Ayan Mullick Principal Infrastructure Engineer. British Petroleum.

In http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849698.aspx, it can be read:

<#

-FilePath<String>

... Enter the path and file name of the script or pipe a script path toStart-Job...

... 

Accept Pipeline Input? false

#>

The 2 informations are contradictory.

First, the documentation says it's possible to pipe data to Start-Job cmdlet's -FilePath parameter.

Later, it says this parameter doesn't accept pipeline input.

Hello all togehter,

I have severall Windows 2012 DCs with DNS installed. Until now, I use a batch file to configure the DNS for my demands. Since 2012, I can configure DNS with PowerShell and I want to fully migrate the cmd commands to PowerShell. Basically this should work, but I do not fully understand how the Set-DNSServerSetting cmdlet works.

For example, I want to change the setting for "LocalNetPriority" and "RoundRobin".

If I use Get-DNServerSetting -All, PowerShell displays me the current values for these settings (true or false). And as the cmdlet help shows in the example, I can use "Get-DNSServerSetting -All -Computername Server007 | Set-DNSServerSetting" to copy the settings from an existing server.

However, I don't want to copy the settings, but just write the settings as I defined, like "$MySettings | Set-DNSServerSetting", where $MySettings contains the Object with all settings I need. But how can I create such an object in my script, without copying the settings from another DNS server?

To be more clear: I wish the Set-DNSServerSetting cmdlet would work like "Set-DNSServerSetting -RoundRobin $true -LocalNetPriority $true", but it doesn't. Who has a workaround for me?

Thanks,
Michael

PS: I know, dnscmd would also work in my PowerShell script, but I try to use PowerShell cmdlets.

I have a deployment agent on a machine implemented as a windows service. Service is 32-bit and runs on windows server 2008R2 x64 SP1 with powershell V2. Powershell script requires elevation and to run under x64 because of dependency to powershell module 'IIS Administration'. To achieve this, the service starts a cmd file which in turn launches powershell x64 console:

C:\WINDOWS\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe "Start-Process C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell -ArgumentList '-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NonInteractive -NoProfile -File C:\Temp\EndJobCmd\Install.ps1' -Verb RunAs"

This seems to work well. The problem I have is that the script has a sequence where it unpacks a zip file to a destination folder using shell.application, this works fine when triggered manually on the server or through the task scheduler, but when triggered from the service it does not extract any files at all (cannot see any errors thrown by the script but it seems to continue to execute as it logs a successful message to the event log after finishing).

Unzip sequence looks like:

    $shell = New-Object -com shell.application
    $pkg = $shell.namespace($sourceFile)
    $installDir = $shell.namespace($targetDir)
    $installDir.Copyhere($pkg.items(), 20)

I was trying to connect to Office 365 using windows azure active directory module for Windows Powershell.

$Cred = Get-Credential
Connect-MsolService -Credential $cred

It failed on my windows 7 machine with the error

Connect-MsolService : Unable to authenticate your credentials. Make sure that your user name is 
in the format: <username>@<domain>. If this issue persists, contact support.

This issue happened in Windows 7 SP1 OS.

But, when I tried the same thing on a Windows 2008 R2 VM, it connected successfully.

This means that the account I was trying to login does have the permissions.

Both the machines ( windows 7 and windows server 2008 R2) have the following pre-requisites installed:

Install Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39267

Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell (64-bit version) 

I checked for other settings needed for this to work at :

(Though these settings are for Windows 8, I have all these settings in Windows 7 as well)

http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/45453-how-to-prepare-a-windows-8-64-bit-pc-to-manage-windows-azure-ad-office-365-using-windows-powershell 

Can someone please tell what is going wrong on my Windows 7 SP1 environment.

hi guys, someone know how can we change a file asociation using powershell?

I want to make the same that we can achieve using Explorer and the option "Choose Default Program"

Consider this script:

$job=[pscustomobject]@{Name='Qwerty'} | sajb -ScriptBlock {ps}

The job is created, successfully, with the name specified above.

It can be seen commanding:

gjb

Nonetheless, trying to receive the result from it (the job) results in job not found error.

rcjb -job $job

Hey I was hoping someone could help me out with this. I am building a GUI to add a printer and giving it a check box to set it to the default.  Everything is working correctly except that when it set it to the default it locks up the PowerShell ISE.  I have tried to change several thing to get it to work but I'm not having any luck.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
