Can I get registry key last write times (RegQueryKeyInfo/lpftLastWriteTime) with PowerShell?  Is there something more detailed that Get-ChildItem which will give them automatically?  Thanks.

How to create a custom object with mutliple attributes that can be accessed.

$
0
0

Hey guy,

Have a quick question to see if I can get some feedback.

I am needing to create an 'object' that has multiple attributes associated with it.  Much like a HashTable, but instead of it only having a 'Name' and 'Value' that can be accessed, (I am probally not using the right wording but you can get an idea of what I need for my end result from my example) I need to create something in powershell that is an object that can have multiple items to access such as

$object1 = ("headerItem1", "headerItem2", "headerItem3", "headerItem4")

$object1.add ("testrow1a", "testrow1b", "testrow1c", "testrow1d")

$object1.add ("testrow2a", "testrow2b", "testrow2c", "testrow2d")

And I would like to be able to access it like you would any other PowerShell object - such as

$object1.HeaderItem1

and it would return

     testrow1a

     testrow2a

Let me know what you think, or if anyone can offer assistance.    [I know I can do it through creating a CSV, but I don't want to do it through that, I would like to create an Object, and then access it from there.)

I need to generate some reports with charts.  On all my machines (including a DC) with .NET 4 except one, I could simply load the DataVisualization assembly with:

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Web.DataVisualization")

On one Windows Server 2008 R2, the above statement returns $null.  Is there anything I need to do to enable this particular assembly?

Thanks.

Modifying GCI output for a picky application.

$
0
0

Hi Guys,

I want to get a list of all files (excluding directories) from a disk. I need them as paths, and I need them encased in quotes, as the programs I will be feeding the output into is quite picky about syntax. 

Say I have a directory tree like:

D:.
├───1
│   │   1.txt
│   │   2.txt
│   │
│   └───3
│           1.txt
│           2.txt

└───2
        1.txt
        2.txt

I've fiddled and looked about, but I cant find anything that gives me quite what I want. I got to this command: gci -r | where-object {$_.mode -lt "d"} | gci -n, which gives the output:

1.txt
2.txt
1.txt
2.txt
1.txt
2.txt

Unfortunately, I need

"D:\1\1.txt"
"D:\1\2.txt"
"D:\1\3\1.txt"
etc.

I'm fairly new to powershell, so I'm sorry if I've missed a blindingly simple way to do this.

Thanks in advance,

Hi there,

I have the code below that I can point to my local Active Directory Certificate Authority and it will pull back expiring certificates, based on a set number of days.

How do i run this script? I have copied the script and created a cascript.ps1 file and changed the $CAlocation="CAServer\Some Root CA" to my CA server and name and $duedays=365 though when I run it in powershell ./cascript.ps1 it doesn't output anything.... any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Get-ADGroupmember with Members in different Forest's

Hi there,

i got two trusted domains in different forests and want to retrieve the members oft some groups which contain members of both domains. Get-AdGroupmeber fails with an ADException Error. Groups with members from only their own domain work fine.

The domainmode is windows2003 which both have Windows 2008 R2 domaincontrollers with Active Directory Webservices running.

ADWS running on both Win2008R2 DC's which are both GC! The Problem Members show in the ADUC with their names. So the UC resolves the Names correct. The error was german i have translated it:

Get-ADGroupMember : Operation successfully finished
At C:\Users\adm_XXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\4fc3e5dc-e943-446a-ae65-e7178f9e6076.ps1:4 Sign:18

Any advice how to fix this?

Sorry for my bad english!

Windows Update PowerShell Remoting

I am working on a script to do Windows Updates on a remote machine. I am using the runspace and powershell objects. I can query and recieve the list of updates, but as I go to download and install them I can an error which indicates that these methods cannot be run from remote computers. Should the object creation and everything be happening on the remote computer? I thought this was the whole idea of the remoting. Am I doing something wrong?

Running multiple functions at once

$

I have a couple of status check functions which report on long-running functions (e.g. mailbox exports) which are foreach-ing against a list of user names.

The long running functions all seem to run concurrently. However, I would like the status checks to also execute simultaneously.  None of the other functions send out-put to the console.

What is an elegant way of accomplishing this feat?

function MailboxExportRequestStatus { $statReport = Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics -Identity $user_name\mailboxExport -IncludeReport $i = 0 while ( $statReport.status -eq "Queued" ) { $statReport = Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics -Identity $user_name\mailboxExport -IncludeReport Write-Host "`t`t`tExport request for" $user_name "has been in queue for" ($i * 15) "seconds" sleep -Seconds 15 $i++ } while ( $statReport.status -eq "InProgress" ) { $statReport = Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics -Identity $user_name\mailboxExport -IncludeReport Write-Host "`t`tExport request for" $user_name "is in progress. It is" $statReport.PercentComplete"% complete" sleep -Seconds 15 } while ( $statReport.status -eq "Completed" ) { $statReport = Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics -Identity $user_name\mailboxExport -IncludeReport Write-Host "`t`t`t`tCompleted! The mailbox esport request for" $user_name "is now"$statReport.PercentComplete"percent complete" sleep -Seconds 2 } Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics -Identity $user_name\mailboxExport -IncludeReport }

foreach ( $user_name in $user_names)

Can I do this with Powershell?

$
0
0

Hi

I'm looking to learn Powershell to automate some repetitive task we do in our Desktop support group. For example, could a script be written to prompt us for a user ID which we would then supply or have it search for one based on what we type in. The script would then disable that user ID and move it to an OU that we specify, the OU would change though depending on the month. Could part of that script also move their machine account to that same OU?

Thanks

Joshua
