Finding odd and even numbers

January 8, 2013, 12:41 pm

I have created a script that will put a collection into a html table and send it in an eamil. I would like to add an alternating color for each table row in the html table. I am building the table and each row by looping through a collection and have added $LoopCount++ count each time the loop is started. I want to use the $LoopCount++ to generate a number and based on the number being odd or even i will update the <tr "bgcolor='7FA96F'"> tag. I am not married to this method but it was the only way i could think of to get alternating colors. I am missing the logic to find out if the loopcount is an odd or even number. Any ideas would help...

FOREACH($Item in $SortedMBXProps)
 { 
  $LoopCount ++
  ## Change to color 1
  IF($LoopCount -eq "True")
   {
   $list += "<tr bgcolor='7FA96F'>"
   }
   ## Change to color 2
    ELSE
    {
    $list += "<tr bgcolor='FFFFFF'>"
    }
  $list += "<td>" + $Item.DisplayName + "</td>"
  $list += "<td>" + $Item."IssueWarningQuota(MB)" + "</td>"
  $list += "<td>" + $Item."TotalItemSize(MB)" + "</td>"
  $list += "<td>" + $Item."ProhibitSendQuota(MB)" + "</td>"
  $list += "<td>" + $Item.StorageLimitStatus + "</td>"
  $list += "<td>" + $Item.ServerName + "</td>"
  $list += "</tr>"
 }
$list += "</table></font>"

Powershell and XML protocol

Hello,

I'm trying to communicate with our telephone exchange with powershell via XML Slican Protocol

Interface:

  • Medium: Ethernet
  • Protocol: TCP/IP
  • Port: 5529

XML frame structure: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><XCTIP><Module><Command><Data>...</Data></Command></Module></XCTIP>

Answer is also in XML.
I already build a working XML frame structure, which I tested with dedicated Slican tool.
Sending a packet requires also IP, login and pass.
Should I use Invoke-WebRequest or Invoke-RestMethod? Which method? How the request should look like?
Any help will be appreciated.

follow out-gridview with out-printer

Hi,

I have a script which pulls Active Directory user information. When I finish the script I am using "out-gridview" which presents the information perfectly on screen. What I don't understand, is how I can print that view. I want to pass the output to a named printer using...Out-Printer "namedprinter"

My code therefore ends...

$GridHTML = $Data.Values | Sort $SortBy | Select $($Fields.Split(",")) | out-gridview | out-printer "NamedPrinter"

But it still only shows on the screen and doesn't print. I naively thought piping the output again to out-printer would work.

If I leave out the "out-gridview" altogether, then I get the output but the column spacing is not correct. Any help greatly appreciated.

Inconsistent getType() behavior?

November 17, 2015, 7:21 am
$

Hi

I'm pretty happy with the newer versions of Powershell that let you return values without assigning them to a variable beforehand, but I'm having an issue regarding returning the proper object types.

According to GetProcess | gm, ProcessName is a string

TypeName: System.Diagnostics.Process
Name                       MemberType     Definition
----                       ----------     ----------
ProcessName                Property       string ProcessName {get;}
The following command, however, returns it as Object[] instead of an expected String[].
(Get-Process).ProcessName.getType()

IsPublic IsSerial Name                                     BaseType
-------- -------- ----                                     --------
True     True     Object[]                                 System.Array

Trying to forecfully cast it as a String[] using the following method doesn't work either

[string[]](Get-Process).ProcessName.GetType()
System.Object[]
This only way to make it function properly is to do the following script...
$c=[string[]](Get-Process).ProcessName
$c.GetType()
IsPublic IsSerial Name                                     BaseType
-------- -------- ----                                     --------
True     True     String[]                                 System.Array

... Which properly returns the result as String[]

I find this to be pretty inconsistent. From where I'm standing, in this latest Powershell 5, all of these should return String[], or at least the second example should, since the third one does. Why is that?

I am using PowerShell Major 5 Build 10240 Revision 16384

Website Automation (Error with: Document.documentElement.getElementsByClassName)

I am at the last phase of my automation with creating accounts in a file storage system online. 

I am trying to grab the class and not the type. I can call the type 'input' but it takes forever. I would like to call the 'control' class. Then input the value for firstName. 

Here is a snippet I am using to find it, it is returning NULL. I am guessing due to it finding the first control class. Any advice would be helpful!

$CUserFirst = $ie.Document.Document.documentElement.getElementsByClassName('controls') | Where-Object {$_.name -eq "firstName"}
$CUserFirst.value = $UsersFirstName

Read text file and send email with some extras

Hi,

I have a scenario where an application writes a nightly log to a file with a non desired date and time format.

It will always write to the log file the following line: "10/15/15 13:40:11 Log processing ended normally."

Is there any way I can create a powershell to read the text file that has a date and time entry in this format: 10/15/15 13:40:11 and convert it to October 15, 2015 1:40:11 PM? But also adding a fixed text to it [Log has completed successfully at]? The end result should send an email out with the body of the email say : "Log has completed successfully atOctober 15, 2015 1:40:11 PM"

Trying to write a script that reads a CSV file that only has 2 columns.  The Columns are Alias and AID.

I read the csv file with this line... $Template = import-csv c:\ReportProject\test.csv

There are 20 lines under each column.  Some lines are blank under 1 column but have data in another.

I then cycle through the CSV file like this

foreach ($Compaire in $Template.AID){write-host $Compaire}

however when $Compaire has nothing in it I want it to then = $Template.Alias So this is what I wrote

$Template = import-csv C:\ReportProject\test.csv
foreach ($compaire in $Template.AID)
    {
     if ($compaire -eq ""){write-host $template.Alias}
     else {write-host $Compaire}
     }

Any help would be appreciated.

Understanding $()

Hi,
I have a cmd like this:

a - Write-Host "Return $myVar.count Objects" - The output of this cmd returns:

Return System.__ComObject System.__ComObject System.__ComObject System.__ComObject System.__ComObject System.__ComObject System.__ComObject System.__ComObject System.__ComObject
ystem.__ComObject System.__ComObject System.__ComObject ... Objects

Now, the gm for "$myVar.count | gm" returns an int32 object type... To test this further I assigned it to a new var like this

$myint=$myVar.count

Then ran:

b - write-host "Return $myint Objects" - This cmd returns: "Return 60 Objects""

Not sure why this happens, $myint variable gm still returns Int32 object type, but is able to display the number correctly inside "", why $myVar.count doesn`t?

Did a little more digging and found out some possible solutions to this behavior, for example:

c - write-host "Return"$myVar.count"Objects" - returns: "Return 60 Objects"
d - write-host "Return $($myVar.count) Objects" - returns: "Return 60 Objects"


Questions:

1 - Why, when using $myVar.count, it returns what appears to be the COM objects associated with the count property (example "a"), but in example "b" it doesn`t?
2 - Why in the example (c), PS adds spaces between the 2 strings ("Return" and "Objects") in the output although I didin`t add those spaces when doing - "Return"$myVar.count"Objects"?
3 - What is the meaning of the $(somecode) in example d?

Thank you.

My company is in the process of acquiring a bunch of other businesses, and in doing so will need to add each of their existing computers to our domain and remove them from their current domain. My question is, can we do this remotely using Powershell's psession or psexec in some way without having to physically walk over to each of these workstations(they are in different states all around the US)? They are not on the same network or domain, so i'm not sure what options we have for accessing them remotely. Any possible suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Check for O365 distribution group existance and replacing members...

Hi,

I'm in the process of learning PS and I have tried with some help to put together a script which copies selected O365 security groups to mail-enabled security groups with the same members.  However I have two problems.

1. Check if group exists:

 $TargetGroup = Get-DistributionGroup -Identity $TargetCommonName -ea 0

This is supposed to check if this mail-enabled security group exists or not.  However it does not work.  What is the correct and bulletproof way to check the existance of a group and in that case, fetch the group object?

2.  Ensure that the target group's members are exactly the same as those of the source group. 

        $TargetGroupMembers = Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity $TargetGroup
        $TargetGroupMembers | % { Remove-DistributionGroupMember -Identity $TargetGroup -Member $_.EmailAddress }
        $SourceGroupMembers | foreach { Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity $TargetGroup -Member $_.EmailAddress }

I try to fetch all existing target group members, delete them and then add all members from the source group.  However I getb the following error message:

PS C:\Users\dev\Desktop> E:\ListGroups.ps1
DistributionGroup Servicepersonalet already exists!  Now deleting and re-adding members...
Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Identity'. Cannot convert value "ServicepersonalPers" to type "Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.DistributionGroupMemberIdParameter".

Here is a portion of the script:

  if ($SourceNameData -ne "") {
    $SourceGroupMembers = Get-MsolGroupMember -GroupObjectId $SourceObjectID
    $AtPos = $SourceNameData.indexof("@")
    $TargetAliasName = $SourceNameData.substring(0,$AtPos)
    $TargetCommonName = $TargetAliasName.substring(0,1).ToUpper()+$TargetAliasName.substring(1).ToLower()
    $TargetDispName = "EMailGroup $TargetCommonName"
    #Write-Host $SourceDescr $SourceDispName $SourceCommonName $SourceNameData
    $TargetGroup = Get-DistributionGroup -Identity $TargetCommonName -ea 0
    if ($TargetGroup) {
      Write-Host "DistributionGroup $TargetCommonName already exists!  Now deleting and re-adding members..."
      if ($DoCreate -eq $TRUE) {
        $TargetGroupMembers = Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity $TargetGroup
        $TargetGroupMembers | % { Remove-DistributionGroupMember -Identity $TargetGroup -Member $_.EmailAddress }
        $SourceGroupMembers | foreach { Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity $TargetGroup -Member $_.EmailAddress }
      }
    }
    else
    {
      Write-Host "DistributionGroup $TargetCommonName does not exist, now creating and populating it...."

        New-DistributionGroup -Name $TargetCommonName -DisplayName $TargetDispName -Alias $TargetAliasName -Notes $SourceDescr -Type "Security" -PrimarySmtpAddress $SourceNameData

    }
  }
  if ($ListMembers -eq $TRUE) {
    foreach ($Member in $SourceGroupMembers) {
      Write-Host $Member.DisplayName

  }

Thanks a lot for help on these two issues

Dear community,

I imported a PST into my Exchange Online Archive (Office365) but the issue is the items imported (more than 3 Go) are not displayed in the UI. So my archive quota displays 3 Go but I only can see 2 folders with few items.

Before to try another import, I would to delete/clean my archive.
I can't do that with the UI (the items are not displayed).

So my question is, can I use a PS Script to do a recursive delete into all my archive?

I didn't find scripts to do that and never seen a PS Script to empty an online archive :(

Weird issue with moving folder with Move-Item

This is my scriptpart

$hsource = "\\fileserver\data\foldername"

$hdestination = ("\\fileserver\data\archive\foldername-archived-" + (get-date -format "d-MMMM-yyyy-HH-mm"))

Move-Item $hsource $hdestination

Now i have a service account that should execute the script which is a domain admin like i am.

When executing this script with the service account i get the following error:

Invalid Path: '\\fileserver\data\foldername'.

At line:95 char:2

+  Move-Item $hsource $hdestination

+  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [], ArgumentException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MoveItemDynamicParametersProviderException

If i execute it with my own account on this server it's working flawles.
Both accounts are getting their permissions via the same group.

I tried disabling the quota manager but that doesn't make any difference.

Folder security does not prohibit the account access in any way.

Moving the folder manually is going without problems.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction ? 

 

Many thanks

Getting a csv list of users and their AD group membership

Hi,

My situation is as follows, I have a starting CSV file which contains only the username, without @domain.smth suffix. For example, a file USERS.CSV has the following:

derek.trotter
rodney.trotter
uncle.albert

and nothing else (in reality it will be a long list of users). For example, let's say I have two AD groups:
Accounting
Management

Also, for the example, let's say that derek.trotter and uncle.albert are members of the Accounting group, and rodney.trotter is a member of the Management group.

What i would like to know is how to use a single powershell script to get two new CSV files that would look like this:

1st file:
derek.trotter,Accounting
uncle.albert,Accounting

2nd file:
rodney.trotter,Management

Thanks!
