Hi All 

I have this Windows update Powershell script below which works pretty much fine. I would like to add a csv file that will contain multiple Serves and do the updates on them. The issue is getting the script to get the machines name from the CSV file and and update it based on the CSV file. Can anyone assist on this matter.

Hi people mi need help

I am try create a script of stop services with variable values,  as down my script:

Clear-Host

$serviceList=gcservicos.txt

foreach ($servicein$serviceList)

{

$service=$service-split(',')

$first=$service[0]

$second=$service[1]

$third=$service[2]

echo$first

Get-Service-InputObject$first|Start-Service

echo$second

Get-Service-InputObject$second|Start-Service

echo$third

Get-Service-InputObject$third|Start-Service

} 

I get an error over the service ends successfully

 et-Service : Cannot bind parameter 'InputObject'. Cannot convert value "" to type "System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController". 

Error: "Invalid value  for parameter name."

At line:10 char:26

+ Get-Service -InputObject $first | Start-Service

I have the following script that Im trying to use based on a posting from June Blender in 2013.

$archivedate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-61)
$files = get-childitem -recurse E:\ftp-folder\UFSI-VA-WAVE-back |
 where-object {$_.lastWriteTime -lt $ArchiveDate}
foreach ($file in $files)
{
 $newName = $file.fullname -Replace 'E:\\ftp-folder','F:\\archive'
 move-item -Destination $newname
}

when I run it, powershell gives me this:

cmdlet Move-Item at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
Path[0]: PS C:\Scripts>
PS C:\Scripts> .\move-back61.ps1

cmdlet Move-Item at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
Path[0]:

why doesn't it find the path of the current $file?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is at all possible & I can't find any documentation that suggests it is, so I'm hoping someone here might be able to answer the questions.

I've created a PowerShell toolkit that I want to install on production servers, this toolkit contains a series of diagnostic utilities to do things like take memory dumps and upload them to a shared storage location.

I can register a restricted PS-Session configuration, using Register-PSSessionConfiguration, which includes a custom script that restricts the cmdlets available, but loads the utilities. This all works perfectly and we're very happy with the solution.

The issue I have is that a user can enter this restricted environment by using:

Enter-PsSession REMOTEHOST -ConfigurationName "MyConfiguration"

But they can also access an unrestricted remote shell by just using:

Enter-PsSession REMOTEHOST

Is there any way to configure the default PSSessionConfiguration to use my restricted environment script?

Many thanks,

Howard

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to delete contacts in bulk via a cmdlet?

I know that there is a delete all contacts cmdlet. Not looking for that one.

Thank you.

This script returns a list of all systems needing a reboot from Windows Patches when run on a WSUS server:

Hello,

The objective is to list the Server name and Cert Issuer for any Cert found in the LocalMachine\My store on all servers in a Domain.

Once I'd get to a server, probably by PS remoting, I'd issue the following:

dir cert:\localmachine\my -recurse | ? Issuer -like '*'

However, the output is Thumbprint and Subject, but I really need to see the Issuer, or what is displayed in the Certificates MMC under the 'Issued By' column.  What I need in my output is the following:

ComputerName       Issuer

Srv1                       Acme Cert Auth

Srv2                       Host1.Acme.Com

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help! SdeDot

I'm trying to remotely install an application (Office 2010 Pro to be exact) and it works when I run it locally, but fails when i try it remotely. I have this syntax which I see commonly online as the preferred method to remote install, but it's not working. There are no errors when I run the script... the install just never starts. Again no issues when running locally.

Any help or troubleshooting recommendations would be much appreciated. I have to get this installed on hundreds of computers.

Current Code:

$InstallString = '"\\servershare\Office 2010\setup.exe" /adminfile Updates/OfficeSetup.MSP /config ProPlus.WW/config.xml"'
([WMICLASS]"\\computer1\ROOT\CIMV2:Win32_Process").Create($InstallString)

Please mark my post as helpful or the answer or better yet.... both! :) Thanks!

Hi,

I have written the following script for single column but I would like to know how to add values for multiple columns.



            if(($key -eq "Column1") )
            {

               $SqlQuery = "INSERT INTO [TableName] ([Column1]) VALUES ('" + $HashTable.Item($key) +"')"
               #Set new object to connect to sql database

               $Connection.ConnectionString ="server=SQLServerName;database=SQLDBName;Integrated Security = True;"
          $connection #List connection information 
               $connection.open() #Open Connection
             $Cmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand

Can anybody please help me out to accomplish the task? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you advance.

Hi Guys,

The Office365 and Exchange Online support person refer me to this forum. Could any one please help?

Here is the story:

We are using Exchange Online and Office365.

My boss ask me to force all users to share their detailed calendar to other, not just "free and busy".

I know we can do it manually one by one, but considering lots of users aren't skilled computer cooperate, so I want it to be done automatically by using script.

I found a quite useful link: http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/158/t/54401.aspx

The powershell script mentioned on the above thread was running successfully, however, when I back to check the calendar of Outlook2013, nothing has been changed after running the script. Some users have their calender displayed as free or busy.

Please notice our domain is XXX.local and our primary email address is @XXX.co. I am not sure which one to be used in the script.

Here is the details of my script:

PS C:\Users\Administrator.XXX> Set-SharingPolicy -Identity "Default Sharing Policy" -Domains 'XXX.co:CalendarSharingFree

I have a code that works:

$IngInterfaceIndex = (Get-WmiObject win32_networkadapter -Filter "netconnectionstatus = 2").InterfaceIndex
Write-Host 'InterfaceIndex is ' $IngInterfaceIndex

If (( $strHostName -match "666") -OR ( $strHostName -match "SFM"))
{
 "Location is 666 and San Fran"
 Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex $IngInterfaceIndex -ServerAddresses ("1.1.1.1","2.2.2.2")
}

I would like to start using functions, so i tried this:

The idea is to use the function to get the InterfaceIndex.

However i am getting an error:

Set-DnsClientServerAddress : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'InterfaceIndex'. Canno
value "InterfaceIndex" to type "System.UInt32[]". Error: "Cannot convert value "InterfaceIndex" to type "System.UInt32". Error: "Input string was not in a correct format.""

When i call the function first time i am getting the correct value. However when i try to use it inside Set-DnsClientServerAddressi get an error.

What am i missing?

Function InterfaceIndex
{
 $IngInterfaceIndex = (Get-WmiObject win32_networkadapter -Filter "netconnectionstatus = 2").InterfaceIndex
 Write-Host 'InterfaceIndex is ' $IngInterfaceIndex
}

If (( $strHostName -match "666") -OR ( $strHostName -match "SFM"))
{
 InterfaceIndex
 "Location is 666 and San Fran"
 Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex InterfaceIndex -ServerAddresses ("1.1.1.1","2.2.2.2")
}

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

currently I'm working on a PowerShell Script to Count Sessions by Application.

Therefor I use this script: 

Get-XASession | where-object {$_.BrowserName -ne "" } | Select BrowserName | Group BrowserName | where {$_.Count -gt 0}

This generates a output like:

Count   Name        Group
-----   ----        -----
   84   Notepad     {@{BrowserName=Notepad}
    4   Wordpad     {@{BrowserName=Wordpad}, @{BrowserName=Notepad}, @{BrowserName=Paint}
   23   Paint       {@{BrowserName=Paint}, @{BrowserName=Wordpad}

How can I summerize all counts in PowerShell?

Hi,

when a user with delegated rights run a script to change an specific field he gets the message access denied.

If he changes the value over the ADUC snapin, he can change the field where he has the rights.  

if ($objext2txtbox.text -ne "") {set-aduser -Identity $user.DistinguishedName[0] -Replace @{employeeNumber=@($objext2txtbox.text)}} else {$user.employeeNumber.clear()}

Above the codesnip where the change will be set. If the complete code is required i can post that one too.

Best regards

Hi guys,

I am writing a script that  amends an XML file. I'm still troubleshooting some of the finer points, but to save time, I was thinking I add something to my code the removes the new xml I have added, every time I run the code again.

<employees><newXML><newTextNode>temp</newTextNode></newXML><newXML><newTextNode>temp</newTextNode></newXML><newXML><newTextNode>temp</newTextNode></newXML><newXML><newTextNode>temp</newTextNode></newXML><newXML><newTextNode>temp</newTextNode></newXML></employees>

The above is an example of what my script does to the employees.xml. It creates newXML nodes with a text node within them. 

Every time I run my script it just adds more and more nodes to the list. Not what I really want. So is there anyway to get rid of all these newXML nodes?

I've tried this:

try{
    $node = $xdoc."employees"

    $i=0

    foreach($item in $node)
    {
        $i= $i+1
        $node.ParentNode.RemoveChild($node[$i])
    }
}
catch{ write-host "The employees node is empty" }

When I run this, it always goes straight to my catch. Any thoughts?

Hello!

I work with PoSH and like use shortcut F7 for access to history powershell commands. But it is very small for my purposes.



Are there way to change size (increase) this window?
