Hello,

When I execute a "ls c:\windows\LogFiles | gm", I see a Typename: System.IO.FileInfo with a Property of CreationTime which is a System.DateTime.  Im trying to format this System.DateTime by issuing a $DT = $_.CreationTime -f "MM_dd_yy HH_mm_ss", but what always comes back is a format of 06/17/2013 07:36:51.  Why is this?  How can I custom format this property to the form I need?

Thanks for your help! SdeDot

I can successfully create a new directory using Powershell, but I'm not quite clear on how to ADD a user and set their permissions to that directory.  The results I'm having is that the user is given permissions, but the previously set permissions disappear.

For example, I create a directory named JSMITH.  By default there are several groups and some users that have access to this directory.  After running my commands, only JSMITH and Administrator have permissions.  Really all I want to do is keep what's already there but just add this user and give them full permission.

New-item \\XXXVMFSR01\ARCHIVES\JSMITH -type directory
$acl = Get-Acl \\XXXVMFSR01\ARCHIVES\JSMITH
$acl | Format-List
$acl.GetAccessRules($true, $true, [System.Security.Principal.NTAccount])
$acl.SetAccessRuleProtection($True, $False)
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("JSMITH","FullControl", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)
Set-Acl \\XXXVMFSR01\ARCHIVES\JSMITH $acl

Hello All,

Does anyone have any idea why the following will not uninstall a version of Java that's less than 7? I could've sworn I had this working a week ago..

Start-Process -Wait -FilePath "WMIC" -ArgumentList "product WHERE `"name LIKE '%Java(TM)%' and NOT version LIKE '7%'`" CALL uninstall"

Thanks!

I have a script that will pull permissions for all Exchange mailboxes for the calendar folder. This works quite well for just the calendar folders. However, I need to search all folders (not just default folders) for all mailboxes in my environment. I know it will be an intense script. Bottom line we are attempting to clean up our distribution lists that are set to security objects and need to know where someone has granted permissions to a security group.

FYI...I did search the archives for folder permissions and only got 10 hits. I am fairly new to PowerShell scripting so I apologize for my ignorance but would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

# Get the mailboxes 
$Mailboxes = Get-Mailbox -Filter {RecipientTypeDetails -eq "UserMailbox"} -ResultSize unlimited
# An array for the output 
$Output = @()   
# Loop through the mailboxes 
ForEach ($Mailbox in $Mailboxes) {
  # Get the name of the calendar folder  
  $Calendar = (($Mailbox.PrimarySmtpAddress.ToString())+ ":\" + (Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity $Mailbox.DistinguishedName -FolderScope Calendar | Select-Object -First 1).Name)    
  # Get the permissions on the folder  
  $Permissions = Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity $Calendar   
  # Loop through the permissions, populating the output array  
  ForEach ($Permission in $Permissions) {
  $Permission | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Mailbox" -value $Mailbox.DisplayName   
  $Output = $Output + $Permission 
  } 
  }   
  # Write the output to a CSV file 
  $Output | Select-Object Mailbox, User, {$_.AccessRights}, IsValid | Export-Csv -Path e:\_logs\CalendarPermissions.csv -NoTypeInformation

This drives me nuts: the code below runs perfectly in PowerShell Version 3. I can authenticate and send mail via live.com and googlemail.com. The password is "hardcoded" in the script, to avoid typos.

If I run it on the same PC (or any other) in PowerSehll v2, I get the following errors

(a) Live.com:
Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.3 Requested action aborted; user not authenticated

(b) Gmail.com: 
Send-MailMessage : The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required.

The script:
#requires -version 2.0"PSHost v" + (Get-Host).Version

$pwlive   = ConvertTo-SecureString 'PASSWORD' -as -f 
$userlive = 'johnsmith@live.com'
$smtplive = 'smtp.live.com'

$usergmail = 'johnsmith@googlemail.com'

$text = "Testmail"

I'm trying to execute

Invoke-Command -ComputerName sp2010 -FilePath C:\temp\Sjov\GetListsItemsX.ps1

but it fails will kind of bogus errors, so I think I have totally misunderstood something here.

The same script executes fine by using "Enter-PSSession -ComputerName sp2010" and then executing the script.

My ps1 script starts with

I am having an intermittent problem adding C# types from Powershell.  (If this isn't the right forum, please advise me on where to post my question).

I originally encountered this issue using the built-in Add-Type cmdlet, but in order to get at the root of the issue I have actually written my own variation of the cmdlet:

function New-Type {
  param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$True,Position=1)][string]$TypeDefinition=$(throw "Mandatory parameter -TypeDefinition missing.")
  )

  $Params = New-Object System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters
  $Params.ReferencedAssemblies.AddRange($(@("System.dll", $([PSObject].Assembly.Location))))
  $Params.GenerateInMemory = $True
  $Temp = $(Get-Item ENV:TEMP).Value
  $Params.TempFiles = New-Object System.CodeDom.Compiler.TempFileCollection $Temp, $False

  $Provider = New-Object Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider
  Try {
    $CompilerResults = $Provider.CompileAssemblyFromSource($Params, $TypeDefinition)
    if ($CompilerResults.Errors.Count -gt 0) {
      $CodeLines = $TypeDefinition -Split '[\n]';
      $ErrorMessage = "Compilation Errors:"
      foreach ($CompileError in $CompilerResults.Errors) {
        $ErrorMessage = [String]::Concat($ErrorMessage, "`n", $CompileError.ToString())
      }
      Write-Error $ErrorMessage
    }
  } Catch [system.exception] {
    if ($_.GetType().ToString() -eq "System.Management.Automation.ErrorRecord") {
      Write-Error $_.Exception.ToString()
    } else {
      Write-Error $_.ToString()
    }
  }
}

This new function works great, but unfortunately it is no more reliable than Add-Type.  However I have been able to get a stack trace out of it:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Local\Temp\abd4anxc.dll'.

   at CompileAssemblyFromSource(Object , Object[] )

   at System.Management.Automation.DotNetAdapter.AuxiliaryMethodInvoke(Object target, Object[] arguments, MethodInformation methodInformation, Object[] originalArguments)

A few other folks seem to have observed similar issues before, but they were actually experiencing compiler errors.  I am not -- I appear to be running into an error wherein the compiler fails to serialize the assembly to a temp file (which is the little"trick" it performs to pretend that the compilation is happening in memory).

Unfortunately, this seems to be the worst kind of error, one that happens "sometimes" but not always.  I once actually put the code in a loop, and it failed 20k times in a row.  So when it's broken, it stays broken (for a little while anyway).  Sometimes re-starting Powershell will clear the problem, but not always.  So what's going on??

I would really like to avoid having to ship DLLs with my Powershell modules, so adding types dynamically is extremely appealing.  How can I determine what's causing this intermittent error?

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

I am trying to import users from a CSV into active directory. I have the following script but it doesn't do anything.

Import-CSV "C:\PowerShell\User\import\Intake2013.csv" | ForEach-Object {New-ADUser -Path 'OU=Intake2013,OU=Students,OU=Users,OU=ASH,OU=Establishments,DC=Ashdown,DC=INTERNAL' -Description $_.Description -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString $_.Password -AsPlainText -Force) -SamAccountName $_.sAMAccountName -GivenName $_.FirstName -Surname $_.LastName -DisplayName $_.DisplayName -Name $_.Name -OtherAttributes @{pager=$_.Pager} -UserPrincipalName $_.UPN -ProfilePath $_.ProfilePath -HomeDrive N: -HomeDirectory $_.HomeDir}

Does anyon ehave any idea what is going on?

Hi

I've enabled Active Directory Gateway Management Services on our 2003 domain I can now Powershell AD objects :-)

First task of the day.

Aim: determine which services on our servers are authenticating with the Domain Admin password. Yeah, some people have been naughty.

I'm a PS noob, but some time ago obtained a BSc in Computer Science, so can understand the principles of coding, but don't do much these days.  Thus far I've spent my first few proper hours this afternoon with PS and cobbled together the following

# Load the MS Active Directory cmdlets
 Import-Module activedirectory

# Get a list of computers in the two Servers OU (must sort that out)
Get-ADcomputer -LDAPFilter "(name=*)" -SearchScope Subtree -SearchBase "ou=servers,ou=gloucester,DC=domain,dc=co,dc=uk" | foreach-object {$_.Name} | Out-File c:\scripts\servers.txt
Get-ADcomputer -LDAPFilter "(name=*)" -SearchScope Subtree -SearchBase "ou=servers,ou=machines,ou=gloucester,DC=domain,dc=co,dc=uk" | foreach-object {$_.Name} | Out-File c:\scripts\servers.txt -Append

# If output file already exists then remove it
If (Test-Path -Path "C:\scripts\audit.txt") {Remove-Item "C:\scripts\audit.txt"}

$compArray = get-content C:\Scripts\Servers.txt
foreach($strComputer in $compArray)
{
write-output "Checking $strComputer for domain\Administrator" | Out-File "C:\scripts\audit.txt" -Append
Get-WMIObject Win32_Service -ComputerName $strComputer | Where-Object {$_.StartName -eq 'domain\Administrator'} | Format-List Name, StartName | Out-File "C:\scripts\audit.txt" -Append
write-output "Checking $strComputer for Administrator@domain.co.uk" | Out-File "C:\scripts\audit.txt" -Append
Get-WMIObject Win32_Service -ComputerName $strComputer | Where-Object {$_.StartName -eq 'Administrator@domain.co.uk'} | Format-List Name, StartName | Out-File "C:\scripts\audit.txt" -Append
}

That works for what can be contacted. However I need to handle this:

Get-WmiObject : The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070
BA)
t C:\scripts\wipservices.ps1:17 char:14
 Get-WMIObject <<<<  Win32_Service -ComputerName $strComputer | Where-Object {

I am trying to learn PowerShell.  I want to use it to gather information from a Central Management Server and input the information into a table in a database.

In Windows PowerShell ISE I am trying to run the following.  I am just running a test to see how it loops through the Central Management Server.  Maybe this example I found on http://sqlvariant.com/2011/01/powershell-week-at-sql-university-post-5/ isn't a good example?

}

---------------------

I am getting the following error message:

As I learn an test PowerShell, I always run the command below so I can excute the ps1 script.
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

I don't want to leave servers in this state.  Is there something I can put in my scripts that will allow me to run scripts, but not leave it in Unrestricted mode?

Hi,

I would like to add all the individual MAC addresses for each corresponding computer account in Active Directory through PowerShell. The list has already been created in a CSV file.

The column headers in the CSV file are as followed:

sAMAccountName,targetAddress

I checked the info in the CSV file list and the computer names and their corresponding mac addresses are on the same line seperated by a comma, so the CSV file is correct. There are over 100 computers in the list.

I want to write all the MAC addresses to the targetAddress attribute of each of their corresponding computer in AD, but my command is not working.

Here is my command:

Import-Csv c:\updateAD.csv | Set-ADcomputer -Identity { $_.sAMAccountName } -add @{targetAddress = $_.targetAddress}

Can someone help with the syntax, or perhaps I must use a different algorithm ?

Kind Regards,

Hello Forum!

Hope someone can help me troubleshoot this or even let me know if its not possible. But, I used powershell to import distribution groups and set primary emails in Office 365. That worked great, but we have two domains and i would like to add an email alias to all my DGs for the other domain.

This was my best attempt and its not going well:

Import-CSV "C:\distributionlists.csv" | foreach {Set-DistributionGroup "$_.Name" -EmailAddresses SMTP:$_.PrimarySmtpAddress,$SecondarySmtpAddress}

$_.Name is the column name for my DGs. IE: DL-IT

$_.PrimarySmtpAddress is the column name for my primary email. IE: IT@domain01.com

$_.SecondarySmtpAddress is the column name for my email alias. IE: IT@domain02.com

Hi Guys,

I am looking at building a powershell app within the Powershell web access tool.  I have got the Powershell web app working and am managing to populate the fields required (except for the user password) to make it easy for the users to log in (I have found that users generally don't follow instructions very well).

The only thing I need to do now is get a powershell script to run automatically when they successfully authenticate to the pswa.

Is there a setting somewhere where this can be done?  Users will get confused if they have to type in a command to run scripts.

Thanks

  I need to create 2 dynamic files based upon file name read and populate logs. This is what I tried but don't
know how to make file names created dynamic. There could be multiple files in root and I would like to keep output

from Write-Fax output below.
