I can set focus on a open window by using bellow. Is there a way to set focus on desktop? I do not want to minimize all windows. In stead, just like if I click on desktop, all open windows will lost focus. Thanks
$a = Get-Process iexplore | ? {$_.MainWindowTitle -eq 'Webpage name - Windows Internet Explorer'}
[Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::AppActivate($a.ID)
I am trying to get just the filename which is the title of the song in a m3u playlist file. I have a working command that gives me just the filename but it includes the extension. I would like to have it return just the filename without extension. my command for going through the playlist .m3u file is as follows
Get-Content 'C:\Users\Trent\Music\Playlists\3LW.m3u' | ? { $_ -and (Test-Path $_) }
I have seen the Basename method talked about but I am not sure how to add it to my command so it works. I tried
Get-Content 'C:\Users\Trent\Music\Playlists\3LW.m3u' | ? { $_ -and (Test-Path $_) } | {$_BaseName} but that either gave me error messages or nothing at all. I am satill trying to learn the syntax in powershell so don't be too hard on me please.

Hi All
I am trying to move a large group of FTP User Accounts to new Sub OUs based on the names of the objects. for example anything named CIS_<name> will be moved from GENERAL OU to GENERAL OU > CIS. However I have 2 CSV files which I need to merge together and then export to a csv and then I can run the powershell command. I have made a start but I am stuck. Here are the 2 CSV's
CSV 1 contains SamAccountName, Description and NewPath (NewPath is the new OU Location)
CSV 2 contains SamAccountName and DistinguishedName
Merge 2 CSVs together matching the SamAccountName and then add the rest of the data to the correct rows.
Desire Result CSV = SamAccountName, DistinguishedName, Description, NewPath
What I have so far (it is not complete yet)
$ftpuserscsv = import-csv C:\ps\import\ftpusers.csv
$ftpdncsv = import-csv C:\ps\import\ftpdn.csv
Compare-Object $ftpuserscsv $ftpdncsv -property samaccountname -IncludeEqual | select * | Export-csv C:\ps\exports\ftp_complete.csv –NoTypeInformation
$csv = import-csv C:\ps\exports\ftp_complete.csv
foreach ($row in $csv){
Move-ADObject $row.distinguishedName -TargetPath $row.NewPath
Please Help!Dear all,
Recently I've add new DC to infrastructure (in the same way like other DC's). Cause it is the closest DC for me very often I am using it to for Powershell with ADModule jobs to do.
What is strange: (Tested on Powershell with AD module run normally and as an administrator) I am logged to this particular DC which have problem.
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties gidNumber, uidNumber -SearchBase "Path" | ft gidNumber, uidNumber
I've got as result no value for these parameters. So I decrease scope of filter to only one user
Get-ADUser -Filter 'samAccountName -eq "username"' -Properties gidNumber, uidNumber -SearchBase "Path" | ft gidNumber, uidNumber
Still no result
Doing the same commands but with switch -server
Get-ADUser -Filter 'samAccountName -eq "username"' -server otherdc.domain.com -Properties gidNumber, uidNumber -SearchBase "Path" | ft gidNumber, uidNumber
I am getting results as I expect.
When I am login to other DC and do the first two commands I've got result as I expect.
Funny is that if I am going to this problematic DC and looking for this info via console Active Directory Users and Computer (connected do problematic dc) -> user -> attributeEditor I can see values which I am looking for :)
Other strange thing is that if I am connecting from other server with Powershell with AD Module and doing the command like before with switch to problematic server I got proper values.
I think it may be related somehow with UAC but it should not appear when I start PS as Admin.
Second strange thing on this DC is that sometime when I trying to do some Set-commands as return I got info about insufficient rights to perform this operation (I mean when I am doing it directly from machine) but If I will use switch -server otherdc.domain.com everything works :):)
ExecutivePolicy is set to Unrestricted. Account which I am using is a domain Admin,
Do you have any idea of strange behaviour of Powershell on this DC? Maybe I forgot about something?
Thank you in advance,
BR,
Sebastian,
I have a brand new HP DL380 running SQL Server 2008R2 standard. It's not yet in production, and I'm testing SQL Agent jobs. The server is running Windows Server 2012R2 Standard, and came with Powershell 4 installed.
I upgraded to Windows Management Framework 5 (Powershell 5), ran the first script through Powershell ISE and everything was ok. Then I executed the same script from SQL Agent and it failed with: "The term 'New-Object' is not recognized as the name of a
cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program."
The job step is a CmdExec type, uses a proxy account, and calls powershell.exe to execute the script. If I make the proxy account a member of the local administrators group it works. If I roll back to Powershell 4 it works (no other changes than uninstalling
WMF 5). But if I again upgrade to Powershell 5, the job step fails.
It's obviously some type of permissions issue, but there is no clue as to what part of the security universe to investigate.
Jobstep command:
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe "D:\dbsoftware\Insert-Records.ps1 -InsertType LogCopyOnly"
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

1)I put the content of Scr1.ps1 as below
Ping Microsoft.com >>d:\out.txt
2)Converted Scr1.ps1 to Scr1.exe using Ps2exe
3)Created another PowerShell file ,Scr2.ps1 with the below content
& "D:\Scr1.exe"
4)Convert Scr2.Ps1 to Scr2.exe
5)Tried to run Scr2.exe and it didn’t work
6).I tried to Run Scr2.ps1 and it worked, It also called Scr1.exe and generated the output to D:\Out.txt
Can someone please tell me whether I need to do anything else to call another exe during Ps2Exe conversion?

Hi I have a script which reads files from a network path and uploads to sharepoint library and then moves to another archive folder.
It works fine if I run it manually
When I schedule it, in the task scheduler it says running and then after sometime ready state with (0x1) as code
When I schedule from task scheduler, I have a service account with admin privileges over the network path.
I have given these paramters
Start Program : Powershell
Add arguments : -executionpolicy bypass -Command & {"\\server1\data02\spscandocs\spupload.ps1"}
Start in : \\server1\data02\spscandocs
Any idea what I m doing wrong here

Hi , how to reboot multiple machines if uptime on those systems is more than Xdays? I am looking for a script using powershell(not VB).
Thanks in advance.
I’m looking to create a script that can use a list of groups to go through and get me the members of each group.
Example
$group = Get-DistributionGroupMember –identity “Group Name” | Select DisplayName
Now the content of $group will be a list of Distribution Groups, I need to use this as the input to create a CSV file of all the members of each of the groups in $group.
Can someone help me with this?
Ideally if Get-DistributionGroupMember had a recursive function I wouldn’t need to figure out a way to do this. I have seen a couple enumeration scripts around, but I’m not getting exactly the results I need. Any help would be appreciated.
I found a regular expression in a pattern I think I need for Social Security Number.
(?!000)(?!666)^([0-8]\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{4})$My files do not have spaces within the numbers or hyphens.
I want to find all SSN in all. txt document in a specific folder and then replace them with X except for the last 4 digits on right. It would be nice to tell the user how many were found and replaced. (That might be a bit much to ask I know.)
My folder path is here \\shared\e_drive\Process\Scrub.
Can someone point me in the right direction 1)Excecute this expression and find social sec numbers 2)Replace those matches with all XXXX except last 4 numbers. 3) Message of completion. Thanks for any help.
I found a couple similar examples via google but not really the same.

I learned that they are shipped with PS v3. So I installed all prerequisites and finally PS v3.
Despite I'm not able to use those Cmdlets. What else I've to do?
Thanks
Hello,
Actually what i would like to do is :
Get all list of computers from security group and store that list in variable, after that use for each.
Is it possible to get content from variable and use for each on it ?
$SCCM=Get-ADGroupMember-identity"gPEUT-SCCM2012R2Servers"-Recursive|selectname
$SCCMServers=Get-Content$SCCM
foreach ($DPin$SCCMServers)
Or for each command just can read TEXT array?
