I am trying to self sign some scripts  but keep getting a status of "UnknownError" after the script completes successfully. The strange part is, the script does complete and sign the certs, it just gives a UnknownError status afterwards.

Could someone please assist?

$cert = Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\LocalMachine\My\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Set-AuthenticodeSignature C:\scripts\patching-TEST-v2.ps1 -Certificate $cert


SignerCertificate                         Status                                                       Path
-----------------                         ------                                                       ----
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  UnknownError                                                 patching-TEST-v2.ps1                                       

Here is how I created the cert:

New-SelfSignedCertificateEx -Subject "CN=Generic Powershell CSC" -EnhancedKeyUsage "Code Signing" -StoreLocation LocalMachine -Exportable

However, when I do a Get-ChildItem on the cert, the EnhancedKeyUsageList does not list anything

Hi

I am currently doing a full audit on our AD environment and need reporting back all user accounts that are live within each site OU we have, that meet the following criteria

-Not Disabled
-Not Expired
-User has logged on in the past 90 days

So far i have the following but only shows users that have accounts Enabled in the SITEA ou, i am struggling to add the logged on in last 90 days and account has not expired syntax

Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=SITEA,DC=MY,DC=COMPANY,DC=CO,DC=UK" -Filter * |where { $_.enabled -eq $false}| Sort-Object name | select name | Export-Csv 'c:\scripts\sitea.csv'

Any help would be appreciated

Code:

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Web.Extensions") | out-null
$web_client = new-object system.net.webclient
$npi="randomNPInumberfromNPPES"
$jsondownload = "https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/api/?number=" + $npi
$build_info=$web_client.DownloadString($jsondownload)
$ser = New-Object System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer
$obj = $ser.DeserializeObject($build_info)
#$obj.results.basic.name
Write-Host "Taxonomies for" $npi
$obj.results.taxonomies.code

(of course, it needs a real NPI number, but that's it)

When I am on my Windows 10 workstation at home with PS5, I can access and call all the elements of the deserialized JSON. When I am on my Windows 7 workstation at work with PS2, I cansee them, but nothing returns when I call them directly.

$obj.results

On my Windows 10 PSv5, I can call $obj.results.created_epoch and 1196294400 returns. I do the exact same thing on the W7 PSv2 desktop, andwhile I can still see it (see above paste) when I do $obj.results, when I do $obj.results.created_epoch, no value returns.

I'm losing my mind - I was so happy when I figured out that my PSv2 could use System.Web.Extensions so I could parse JSON, but now I'm really lost. It's maddening because I can see the results on both installations, but can only access the actual values in v5. I've searched everywhere and I can't find a solution - I'm sure it's something ridiculous.

Please help :(

Hi ,

I am trying to run "Get-DscConfiguration -Verbose" in server 2008 R2 in order to upload the output of it Pull Server using POST method. But I am getting following error :

Get-DscConfiguration : Current configuration does not exist. Execute Start-DscConfiguration command 
with -Path parameter to specify a configuration file and create a current configuration first.At 
line:1 char:1
+ Get-DscConfiguration -Verbose

   tionManager) [Get-DscConfiguration], CimException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MI RESULT 1,Get-DscConfiguration

The same works pretty well for 2012 server and I able to upload the same.

Is there a way to include the PSComputerName, which is collected early on in the pipeline, to the final out of this one-liner?

Get-CimInstance Win32_Process -Filter "Name = 'iexplore.exe'" -ComputerName $MyServers | % {Invoke-CimMethod -InputObject $_ -MethodName GetOwner | Select User, PSComputerName} | % {Get-ADUser $_.User -Properties EmailAddress | Select EmailAddress}

So besides EmailAddress of the person, I want to include the server name where that user is running the process?  Or is this just something that require multiple statements?

Thanks

Hi. I came across this powershell script and would like to modify to include TimeStamp + RecordType values.

I tried adding additional columns. The column headings output but no values so I guess I did it wrong :)

[quote]

# Using WMI, retrieve all the duplicate DNS records

=Get-WmiObject-ComputerName'MyServer'`

-Namespace'root\MicrosoftDNS'`

-ClassMicrosoftDNS_AType`

-Filter"ContainerName='MyZone'"|`

OwnerName|Where-Object{$_.Count-gt1}

='c:\scripts\DNSDuplicates.csv'

-ItemTypefile-Path$file-Force

-Path$file-Value"Name,IPAddress"

($itemin$DNS) {

foreach($IPAddressesin$item.Group) {

$value="{0},{1}"-f$item.name,$IPAddresses.IPAddress

Add-Content-Path$file-Value$value

Can any of you gurus assit?

Kind Regards,

I am trying to get a script that prompts the user to enter a username to search, and then returns with the name, how much storage they have used, and all the quotas set for that user. But I am having troubles using Get-Mailbox a second time in the script. It seems to get completely ignored when I am running it, but compiles perfectly fine and I don't have any errors.

Why is the second Get-Mailbox ignored? What can I do to still have everything in the same script?

I've found that the Get-Mailbox still runs, but the table it should output is being ignored. I have tried using other things such as Write-Output $x after storing my second Get-Mailbox into $x but it still does not display in the script. Can I not show 2 different tables in the same script?

. 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1'; Connect-ExchangeServer -auto
$user = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter Username to Check Quota'

Get-Mailbox -Identity $user | Get-MailboxStatistics | Select DisplayName, `

  @{name=”TotalItemSize (MB)”; expression={[math]::Round( `

  ($_.TotalItemSize.ToString().Split(“(“)[1].Split(” “)[0].Replace(“,”,””)/1MB),2)}} `
  , StorageLimitStatus

Get-Mailbox -Identity $user | Select Name,ProhibitSendQuota,IssueWarningQuota,ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 

Hi, I am running a cURL to return data. I am getting a txt file that I then translate in to CSV by using this function:

$xslt = New-Object System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform;
$xslt.Load($xsl);
$xslt.Transform($xml, $output);

The problem is that I am returning characters other than English, and I am getting an error related to the unicode \u2019.

What would be the best approach to this. In Unix I would use xtslproc and recode html the text file, but somehow, I don't find any equivalence with Powershell.

Thanks

After updating PowerShell to v3 on my Windows Server 2008 R2 machine I don't seem to be able to run PowerShell scripts from the "Run with PowerShell" context menu item of Windows Explorer for my .ps1 files.

Those scripts did execute perfectly well until now. They still do execute from within ISE and from within an opened PowerShell console window. But they don't execute from that Windows Explorer context menu item anymore.

Why?

This is the error message I'm getting (translated from German):

No parameter found matching name "Command".
   + CategoryInfo  : InvalidArgument (:) [Run.ps1], ParentContainerErrorRecordException
   + FullyQualifiedErrorId  : NamedParameterNotFound,Run.ps1

Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out how to check the DFSR Health of our SYSVOL folder, but theWrite-DFSRHealthReport doesn't seem to work with the Replication Group "Domain System Volume", which is where SYSVOL is. The cmdlet will work with other Replication Groups, but not the "Domain System Volume" Replication Group.

I have tried the following command from one of our Domain Controllers, and I get the error that"no replication groups found named: "Domain System Volume"

Write-DfsrHealthReport -GroupName "Domain System Volume" -MemberComputerName "DC1" -Path "C:\DFSReports" -ReferenceComputerName "DC1"

I know this replication group is present, and it can even be seen by running theGet-DfsReplicationGroup cmdlet.

I was hoping to get this working with the new DFSR PowerShell cmdlets and not use the old CMD DFSR tool, and I was hoping that someone had experienced this issue and found a solution?

I have created a job that opens a webpage on our internal LAN. The webpage takes 4 to 5 minutes to complete it's process which is expected so I set a high timeout of 10 minutes.
 The powershell job seems to run fine but I always get an error for getresponse get This is the error
The corresponding line is '$response = $request.GetResponse()   '. Correct the script and reschedule the job. The error information returned by PowerShell is: 'Exception calling "GetResponse" with "0" argument(s): "The operation has timed out" 

Code:

$request =[System.Net.WebRequest]::Create("http://myinternalsite.com")
$request.timeout = 60000; # 10 Minutes
$response = $request.GetResponse()
$response.Close()

Hi Folks,

I have a powershell script that uploads log files created yesterday to AWS S3 storage, it then deletes all files older than 1 month.

The issue is there are new services added weekly so it is necessary to add a dynamic structure to look at the folder and dynamically react when a new file has been added.

The proposed new structure would be the script looks at the logfiles location:

$localPath = "C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\"

Creates a list of all the folders within this file structure and adds the folder name to the S3 bucket location:

$keyPrefix = "applicationlogs/IIS/<FOLDERNAME>/$timestampY/$timestampM/$timestampD/"

The script then runs through the list and processes each uploading their files to the S3 bucket

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

$timestampD = ((Get-Date).adddays(-1).toString("dd"))
$timestampM = ((Get-Date).adddays(-1)).toString("MMM")
$timestampY = ((Get-Date).adddays(-1).year)

$bucket = "<BUCKET NAME>"

$localPath = "C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\"

$keyPrefix = "applicationlogs/IIS/<DYNAMICFOLDERNAME>/$timestampY/$timestampM/$timestampD/"

Get-ChildItem $localPath | where { ($_.CreationTime -gt ((get-date).AddDays(-2))) -and ($_.CreationTime -lt ((get-date).AddDays(-1))) }
foreach ($f in Get-ChildItem $localPath  | where { ($_.CreationTime -gt ((get-date).AddDays(-2))) -and ($_.CreationTime -lt ((get-date).AddDays(-1))) }) 
{ $key="$keyPrefix$f"
 Write-S3Object -BucketName $bucket -File $f.FullName -Key $key -AccessKey $accessKey -SecretKey $secretKey -Region $region
}

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

Can I have some advice with the dynamic folder list creation?

Hi Everyone,

How can I call multiple classes and return the results to a single string?

E.G. If I have:

$CompInfo = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem -computername $computer | Select-Object Name, Model | ConvertTo-HTML -fragment

$OS = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem -computername $computer | Select-Object Caption, Status | ConvertTo-HTML -fragment

How can I have powershell return:

Name        Model                             Caption                                                             Status
SERVER    ProLiant DL360p Gen8    Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard    OK

Instead of

Name       Model

SERVER    ProLiant DL360p Gen8

Caption                                                              Status

Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard      OK

Thanks.

I originally posted this in the 365 forums but was informed to post it here instead...

I'm looking for a way to do bulk calendar sharing of individual calendars (not Public Folders) in Exchange Online.

I have a client looking to share every employee's calendar with every single employee in their organization.

They have 16 employees so if I did the usual PowerShell command below I'd have to enter it some 250+ times.

Add-MailboxFolderPermission –Identity user1@domain.com:\Calendar -AccessRight Editor -User user2@domain.com

I created a security group and added all of the employees to it.  Now if I can run a PowerShell command to assign calendar permissions to that security group and I can drastically cut down my admin work.  In theory I can run the PowerShell command one time for each staff member (so 16 times) and have all of the necessary permissions assigned.

If that method isn't possible then what's the best practice for getting this done?

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,

I'm trying to use a Powershell script to check if a SharePoint list contains items from a cvs file. If there is a match the script should delete the item from the SharePoint list and move on to the next row.

The code was something I found here: http://sharepointcherie.blogspot.nl/2014/01/use-powershell-to-edit-delete-and-add.html

I used the first part of the code and changed the "exists = 0" to "exists =1" and "if ($exists -eq 0)" to "if ($exists -eq 1)". This because the original code was to remove items when the item was not in the csv list. Also I changed the "if ($item.Title -eq $row.PID)" to "if ($item.<columnname> -eq $row.<columnname>)" because I have a different column I needed to compare than the Title or PID.

Unfortunately it didnt work. Can someone help me to make this work?

#specify file and check to see if it exists.  If it does, continue operations
$csvVariable= Import-CSV "\\networkpath\MyFile.csv"
if ($csvVariable) {"File exists"} else {exit}

# Check if the Sharepoint Snapin is loaded already, and load if not
if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null )
{Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell}
$WebURL = "http://mySharePoint/sites/mysharepointsite"#site name
$listName = "MyListName" # list name
$web = Get-SPWeb -identity $WebURL #Get the SPWeb object and save it to a variable
$list = $web.Lists[$listName] #Get the SPList object to retrieve the list
$items = $list.items #Get all items in this list and save them to a variable

#loop through SharePoint list and delete items that don't appear in csv file
    foreach($item in $items)
    {
      $exists = 0
      #loop through csv and compare item to each row
      foreach ($row in $csvVariable)
      {
        if ($item.Title -eq $row.PID)
        {$exists++}
      }
      #if the item hasn't been found, delete from SharePoint list
      if ($exists -eq 0)
      {$list.GetItemById($item.ID).Delete()}
    }

Hi Everyone,

I would like to move over 50 AD Groups between OU's and stamp the notes box with a comment. 

I am having trouble with the move to start of, this is the script I found:

$Move=import-csv D:\Temp\Em_Groups.csv
Import-module ActiveDirectory
foreach ($Group in $Groups){
    get-adgroup $Group|move-adobject -targetpath "OU=Cleanup,OU=Disabled Accounts,DC=blue,DC=net"
}

The script is not working (not moving the groups to new OU).

Any ideas please?

Hi there,

I am trying to capture .csv file from REST call. For that I have used Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet. The exact command is as follows:

>>Invoke-WebRequest $url -OutFile $cosmos11_Path -UseDefaultCredentials -TimeoutSec 65535

On executing this, I got this error - Unable to connect to the remote server

If I pasted URL in the browser then I get the CSV file. But command not working.

It was previously working fine. But I am facing this issue from last 4-5 days. Please help me out if anybody have any idea.

Thanks,

Prashant
