How do I use Get-Aduser's Filter to exclude a large number of Import-CSV user accounts ?

Hi,
A few questions here:
1. How do I build a dynamic list of users to use in the Get-Aduser -Filter from the
 $ExcludedUsers = Import-Csv $Path?  I'd like to 'exclude' these users from processing
during the Get-User operation.  Could have 2000-3000 users to exclude at any one time.
2. Is there any limit as to how many I can Filter at any one time?
3. Will the ISE Debugger still work given a large Filter statement?
#Exclude

$ExcludeOU1  = "*OU=Mailboxes,DC=MyDomain,DC=Local*"
$ExcludeOU2  = "*OU=Accounts,DC=MyDomain,DC=Local*"
$ExcludeOU3  = "*OU=USA,DC=MyDomain,DC=Local*"
$ExcludeOU4  = "*OU=OS,DC=MyDomain,DC=Local*"
$ExcludeOU5  = "*OU=C,DC=MyDomain,DC=Local*"
$ExcludeOU6  = "*OU=o,DC=MyDomain,DC=Local*"
$ExcludeOU7  = "*OU=n,DC=MyDomain,DC=Local*"
$ExcludeOU8  = "*OU=t,DC=MyDomain,DC=Local*"

$OU          = "DC=MyDomain,DC=Local"

# Import Excluded Users

$Path      = "C:\Users\Fred\ExcludedTest.Csv"
$ExcludedUsers = Import-CSV $Path

$AllUsers = Get-Aduser -Filter $ExcludedUsers -Properties mail -SearchBase $OU -SearchScope Subtree |
           ? {$_.DistinguishedName -notlike $ExcludeOU1 -and `
              $_.DistinguishedName -notlike $ExcludeOU2 -and `
              $_.DistinguishedName -notlike $ExcludeOU3 -and `
              $_.DistinguishedName -notlike $ExcludeOU4 -and `
              $_.DistinguishedName -notlike $ExcludeOU5 -and `
              $_.DistinguishedName -notlike $ExcludeOU6 -and `
              $_.DistinguishedName -notlike $ExcludeOU7 -and `
              $_.DistinguishedName -notlike $ExcludeOU8 -and `
              $_.mail -ne $null}

typewriter text in powershell?

I've just started out with powershell, is there a way to make text have a typewriter effect, as if someone is writing it?

I understand that Write-Host ouputs the text, and I can use Start-Sleep for delays between chunks of text, but I need to have delays between each character of a word.

Hi,

I have a VHD boot based on Window 8.1 Enterprise, starting my laptop in a live manner from a USB drive. The problem is to find out a way to determine theexact location of this VHD image; that is, the drive letter of the USB disk drive containing that image.

Another question is that when I list the disks in the powershell environment, I need to know which of the disks are actuallymounted Virtual Hard Disks. Powershell normally shows them as fixed disks.

Fairly straight forward. Powershell hangs (5days +)

Server is 6.2.9200 "Hyper-V Server 2012"

Equivalent setup to several other servers - all without issue

C:\temp>powershell

Copyright (C) 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

PS C:\temp> $pop = get-vm

Ctrl-Break typed; exiting.

Update: Wait chain says powershell is waiting for another process(svchost.exe)

The svhost inquestion seems to be netsvcs - hosting Window Management Instrumentation

I have a few shares on the network. I ll get all the folder and file permissions with get-acl and get that info to a dabatase table. Problem is that i dont wanna to pu the full descriptor (ex: ReadandExecute). Because of that i ll have on the same database a table called perms. There i ll associate one Id to a permission.

Anyone able to help with this?

the following commands work only after a connection with a webbrowser. It does also not work with "Get-Credentials" for the proxycredentials. However, if a one-time connection to a browser have been set up, no password is required (it works without  "-ProxyCredential $myCreds")

Has anyone an idea? why the Proxy authentication does not work with powershell (3.0)?

$proxy = 'http://192.168.178.14:8080'
$proxyuser = 'proxyuser'
$proxypassword = 'system'

Windows 10 PowerShel/Internet Explorer Automation Problem

August 11, 2015, 2:41 pm
$

Hello,

I have a PowerShell script that I use to automate an Internet Explorer window. Basically the code does this:

$ie = New-Object -com InternetExplorer.Application

$ie.navigate('https://www.somewebsite.aspx')

Start-Sleep -Seconds 60  # My code checks for Busy and ReadyState, but this will suffice

$someField = $ie.document.getElementById('theNameOfTheField')

if ($someField -eq $null)
{
     Write-Output 'Some field was not found'
}

I'm passing the name of the field and not the ID. In Windows 7 this works just fine and the field is found. In Window 10, the field is not found.

According to the online documentation (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536437%28v=vs.85%29.aspx), the getElementById field will match on the ID or NAME attribute.

In Windows 10 this is not happening. If I use the ID, the element is found with no problems.

The other problem is that Windows 10 doesn't return a null when it fails (as the documentation states it should). It returns an object of the type System.DBNull.

Thanks,

Steve :)

I need to produce a list of all PC in a given subnet where registry value of a pc isnot equal to  abc.eu.company.com

the command below can check registry on a single pc.

Import-Module PSRemoteRegistry
Get-RegValue -ComputerName $PC -key "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters" -value Domain

I would like to run it across 3 different subsets, or a specified OU.

and return a list of PC where that value is not abc.eu.company.com.

I'm new to powershell and if anyone can point me in the right direction or provide an example it would be great.

Warning: 'EnableWriteOrderPreservationAcrossDisks' is not required for 'Set-VMReplication'.

October 20, 2014, 10:31 pm
$

When we run set-vmreplication -vmname **** -EnableWriteOrderPreservationAcrossDisks 1we get WARNING: 'EnableWriteOrderPreservationAcrossDisks' is not required for 'Set-VMReplication'.

I can see other threads asking the exact same question I'd be about to - so is it even enabled? There's no confirmation. Checking the Technet for "Get-VMReplication" doesn't give anything obvious how to check.

As obscure as this command to enable the write order preservation is, so is the command to check which requires piping and advanced knowledge of Powershell, and no where I can find documentation how to find this info how to check.

Get-vmreplication -VMname ****** | fl enab* shows True for the server we've just ran the command on. Great.

But then curious I ran the command on each server we have utilising Replica. Result? It shows all servers as having this enabled. I've googled and looked into this and as far as I can possibly tell the default for Write Order Preservation is disabled and you are required to enable it - reading the Technet article explaining SQL support clearly says you need to enable the featurelink here.

So what's the go? Is it enabled for our one server we specified? Is it enabled for all? Is the command Get-VMReplication indeed showing the correct information?

And then some bigger questions - Why is this not in the GUI? It's clearly a very important thing to have and be made clear about it's presence.

Why is it so poorly documented the use of this feature? Even where mentioned to "enable" it say in the SQL blog it gives no information if you are meant to enable it from any PC, the Hyper V host, the SQL guest etc.

What frustrates me most is no one from Microsoft will do anything with these really important questions and there'll be no clear answer to this headache of what is an essential thing apparently.
