Activate Office (2013)
I want to activate office 2013 on remote computers. (KMS & GP are not possible)
Ideally I want to send someone the powershell script to run which would activate locally.
The thing is I don't want the key that's in the script to be visible in plain text. IE I don't want them to open up the script & see the key & use it somewhere else.
All I've found at the moment is this: (which would be fine if I could mask the key somehow)
Activate Office:cd "<C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15>"
cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:"XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
cscript ospp.vbs /act
cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus

Parameters with ValidateSet not recognised in DSC Powershell5.0
I have some DSC scripts written in powershell 5.0. I had my variables being picked properly and running when i had WMF 5.0 installed on my machine of April release. Today i upgraded it to Sep release(Production Preview) and when i tried running my DSCs my configuration file wasn't able to recognize the parameters that were declared with Validate Set property.
Below is the sample of how my DSC looks like
[DscResource()]
class TestDSC
{
[DscProperty(Key)]
[string]$TestKeyProperty
[DscProperty(Mandatory=$true)]
[ValidateSet("Value1","Value2","Value3")]
[string]$ValidateProperty
[TestDSC]Get()
{
----- Get Method -----
}
Set()
{
----- Set Method -----
}
[bool]Test()
{
----- Test Method -----
}
Configuration file:
Configuration Testing
{
node localhost
{
Import-DscResource -Name TestDSC
TestDSC dscTesting
{
TestKeyProperty = "TestValue"
ValidateProperty = "TestValidateValue"
}
}
}
Testing
The highlighted property shows error saying invalid argument.
I know enum can be used in place of ValidateSet to have a set of values to go into a property(i did not use enum as my valid set of values have spaces in them and i was not able to put values with spaces so i used ValidateSet), but ideally ValidateSet() is also supposed to work. Is this a change that was made in the Production Preview release?? What is the workaround for this?? If enum is the only way to work with, can anyone help me with understanding how to have enum values with spaces between them!!
Any help would be appreciated!!!

ISE vs Script: encoding issues?
I have a much larger issue than this, but I believe this actually identifies my root problem, to wit
$string="Autodesk® Storm and Sanitary Analysis"
Write-Host$string
works great in the ISE, but that Registered Trademark symbol becomes a lower case r when run as a script. Verified in PS 2.0 and in 4.0. Anyone have any insights on a direction to pursue, if not an outright solution?
Thanks!

Send HTML email to user based on PasswordLastLogon
Hi
I would like to setup a script to monitor users last password change and send them an email.
This is the script I came up with but... not working I think it's because the result of get-aduser query is :
----
user@domain.com
$FindUser = Get-ADUser -identity mickey -Properties * | Where { $_.passwordLastSet –gt (Get-Date).AddHours(-1) } | Select Mail
$smtp = "exchange.com"
$from = "Admin <admin@exchange.com>"
$subject = "This is a Test of HTML Email"
$body = "Dear <b><font color=red>$to</b></font> <br>"
$body += "We are testing <b>HTML</b> email <br>"
$body += "Click <a href=http://www.google.com>here</a> to open google <br>"
#### Now send the email using \> Send-MailMessage
send-MailMessage -SmtpServer $smtp -To $User -From $from -Subject $subject -Body $body -BodyAsHtml -Priority high
########### End of Script################What am I doing wrong?

Powershell Scheduled Task communications
I have a Powershell script run by a standard user which starts a scheduled task to run some admin maintenance tasks. The scheduled task runs with full admin rights on the system. This allows the non-admin user to start the task on demand WITHOUT needing any admin credentials.
All this works well right now, except I would like for the scheduled task to be able to communicate info back to the logged in user regarding status of the task. If there were no privilege issues involved, I would use Start-Job, Receive-Job, etc. to get info back from the task. However, because the task runs under different credentials, I have to use Start-ScheduledTask which doesn't allow any interprocess communication that I can find.
In my current design, when the background job completes it schedules a 2nd task (running as the original user) which uses VBScript wshShell.Popup to display a message to the original user giving completion status info of the admin task. Not very elegant, I admit, AND it doesn't allow the user to see any progress messages while the task is running.
Can any of you Powershell gurus think of a way I can achieve my goals??
Thanx for any replies...

How to fetch path for process like the default PDF reader?
I'm trying to use the following command to learn how to start the default PDF reader from the command line.
(1) How do I modify this command to display the path?
get-process | Out-GridView
(2) When I use this command after double clicking on a PDF file in Windows 10, I don't see the reader process. Why not? What is the powershell command to see the reader and the path to its executable?

Formatting of IssueWarningQuota and TotalItemSize
How do I get the IssueWarningQuota value returned from get-mailbox into a format that I can use to perform math?
In my instance the value is being returned like this
9.659 GB (10,371,465,216 bytes)
My goal is to have it returned or converted to something like this:
10371465216
The overall goal is to set this as a variable which I can then use against the TotalItemSize of Get-MailboxStatistics to determine what percentage of usage a users mailbox.
Something like this, I just cannot get the IssueWarningQuota and TotalItemSize to return in a usable format.
$warning = get-mailbox user1 | select -ExpandProperty IssueWarningQuota
$usage = Get-MailboxStatistics user1 | select -ExpandProperty TotalItemSize
$p = $usage/$warning
"{0:P2}" -f $pAny help greatly appreciated!

A call to SSPI failed
I have one user who is trying to run one of my scripts, and he's getting an error when the script gets to this line:
Get-ADUser $User
No other user is experiencing this problem. He gets the same error if he just types it in to the PS window. He reports to have this problem from multiple computers, but others trying from those same computers have no problem.
Strange, but if he enters
Get-ADUser 'HisAccountName' -Cred 'DomainName\HisAccountName'
and enters his password at the prompt it works fine.
Here are the error details:
