PowerShell Script for complete folder upload
twice a week a folder is generated with pdf files inside, each folder is named with an ID number(Ejm ID523869) and the .pdf files named with a serial number(ejm 22081300340), each time a new forder with pdf files is added to the server local path, I need to manually upload that folder to an ftp site, and sometimes happend I forget to do this, so I'm looking for a powershell script that could automate this process to uploading each new folder added (with same name) to the ftp site, then log if upload process is successfully done and send an email notification, since new I'm new guy on powershell have a couple of days trying to mix some scripts to do this but not success yet. Hope somebody deal with something similar that could share his experience and script.
Thanks

How can I successfully run my remote script with administrator permissions?
I've been working on a small, redeployable .ps1 script that will be used to automate the clearing of the end user's print spooler and clearing of the printing queue, with more features in future implementation. Here's a snippet of some of the commands that require elevation. In order to successfully run this script on end user's computers, I've created a Powershell credential object like so. (It doesn't matter if the administrator credentials are in clear text, since it is executed in the background over RMM). However, when I try to run any command with the newly made variable like this, I get some sort of complication, such as the PS window only returning the syntax of the command instead of actually running it. I'm relatively inexperienced in the Powershell automation; If someone could offer up a solution as to how to best integrate the newly made credential object into my script so that it will run with elevated permissions in its entirety, It'd be much appreciated. Thanks!!! |

How can I create registry key with slash in name?
I'm trying to create registry key as follows:
New-Item -Path 'HKCU:\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Liaison 98\SitaHost\PC/PCM' New-Item -Path "HKCU:\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Liaison 98\SitaHost\PC/PCM" New-Item -Path "HKCU:\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Liaison 98\SitaHost\PC`/PCM"
All 3 commands give error:
New-Item : The registry key at the specified path does not exist.

As I understand it treats slash in PC/PCM as path seperator, and as PC key is missing it throws me an error. How can I escape slash in path so it will treat it as part of the name and not path seperator?

Unicode \u2019 error
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

Enable-ComputerRestore error msg "Include System Drive in the list of drives"
Hi,
I'm running Enable-ComputerRestore -drive "C:\" in WinPE8 but get this message "Include System Drive in the list of drives" in red ...
The C: drive is the Windows 8 system drive ...
If I run RecEnv.exe in PE8 it works fine after asking me to pick the OS (Windows 8.1). So powershell should work too, yes?
Do I have to run another command first to select "Windows 8.1" like i did using RecEnv.exe?

Calendar Sharing for an AD Group
Hi,
In this post (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/scriptcenter/en-US/94bbcfaf-d963-46ff-9e6d-85ccde36d104/offce-365-assigning-calendar-permissions-via-security-groupsbulk-calendar-sharing?forum=winserverpowershell) there is a PowerShell command closest to a problem we have been having for some time now.
$GroupMembers = Get-DistributionGroupMember securityGroup1
foreach ($GroupMember in $GroupMembers) { Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity (""+ $GroupMember.Guid+ ":\Calendar") -User securityGroup1 -AccessRights Editor}I wonder if you might be able to suggest an amended script to match the following requirements:
We have two security groups: AllStaff and AllStudents. We would like AllStaff group members to have Limited Details permission over AllStudent group members. (We don't want AllStudents to be able to see limited details of AllStaff).
Is this possible with an amendment to the script above. I wanted to make sure that I get the groups in the correct order so that I don't give permission the other way!
Many thanks in advance,
Michael

Then I launch a batch file which internally calls PowerShell script AutoSPInstallerFunctions.ps1

PowerShell Script to Catch Empty Query Result
Hello,
In the below script, when the results are written to the .csv file, it basically writes NO DATA text to every SQL server instance once withouttruly evaluating whether there are any data returned or not. I just want to make sure the output .csv file contains NO DATA for those SQL server instances where all the jobs were successful or no failure as shown in
the sql script. Can you please help where to correctly place the if statement in the PS script?
==========================================
##Save the below powershell script in folder "E:\PowerShellScripts\SQLServersBackupStatusFromMSDB.ps1"
$QueryPath= "E:\PowerShellScripts\SQLQueryNew1.sql"
$OutputFile = "E:\PowerShellScripts\BackupStatusQuery1_Output.csv"

$ExecuteQuery= Get-Content -path $QueryPath | out-string
#"Results -- > `r`n`r`n" > $OutputFile
FOREACH($server in GC $InputFile)
{
# if the SQL query returns a result set, then format the output
if($null -ne $sqlReturn)
{
$sqlReturn | Format-Table -autosize | Out-String -width 4096 >> $OutputFile
}
# if it does not, then output 'NO DATA'
else
{
'NO DATA' >> $OutputFile
}
$server
"---------------------------------------------------------------" >> $OutputFile
$server >> "E:\PowerShellScripts\BackupStatusQuery1_Output.csv"
