My question is pretty simple, I've added a PowerShell script to the GPO Logon Scripts (PowerShell tab). Should I have a rule changing the ExecutionPolicy or Logon Scripts runs regardless of the local PowerShell ExecutionPolicy?
Thanks in advance.

I need to strip out the SID from a CN name.
CN=S-1-5-21-3732321167-3393826962-3131626954-1200,OU=Security Groups,,DC=Domain1,DC=com
I want to remove everything except the SID.
I have looked at the strip command, but I just cant understand how it works.....

This may be because this server does not exist, it is currently down, or does not have the Active Directory Web Services running ".

I have checked most of the forum all are asking to restart the ADWS service but in my case its working fine. Seeking help that how to map the ADWS service and get the output from Get-AdGroupMember in a variable.

Initializing sound system in PowerShell script
Hi,
In a Windows Server 2008R2 system, I changed the user interface from explorer.exe to powershell.exe, running a customized PS script. To do this, I setup a GPO to specific users (see: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc975911.aspx). The custom user interface is something like powershell.exe -windowstyle hidden c:\myscript.ps.
Ths PS script runs a LOB application and sits waiting for exit, then logoff the session. All works like a charm. Clients login through RDS.
Is there a way to initialize sound system from a PS script ?
Thanks.

Capture O365 Warnings in Variable
Hi All
I'm trying to write code to set-mailbox -type in Office 365. However, when I execute the action, I may get a warning that no change was made. I need to know if a change was made, or not. (Beyond the scope of this script, I'd just like to know how this is done, generally, too.)
I'm having real trouble capturing this data to see if the change was made or not for each of the thousands of users in the script.
The warning message is like this:
WARNING: Couldn't convert the mailbox because the mailbox "foo@foo.com" is already of the type "Room".
WARNING: The command completed successfully but no settings of 'foo' have been modified.
I've read various sites, but am unable to get anything to be trapped in a variable. I don't want to write a file with the warning message.
I've tried this: code:
$something = $(set-mailbox -Identity foo@foo.com -Type Room) 3>&1
However, the $something variable never contains the message. This seems like such a simple thing to do - it's driving me crazy! :p
Any help would be much appreciated!

Need validate set exception type, when input is not part of set
I was able to do a type() on the error and I found system.management.automation.validationmetadataexception for it. So I used a
try{
...
}catch [System.Management.Automation.ValidationMetadataException]{
do something first
}catch{
do something rest
}When I put in input data that does not fit the validation set, it works and goes to the first catch block, but when I run a cmd utility that I use for work and it fails it also does what's in the first catch. When I review $Error[0], it is not a validationmetadataexception. What gives? It should be doing what's in the rest catch. The utility is dependent on 3 user inputs, so instead of doing a try catch for each input and one for the utility I figured to use one for the three inputs and one for the utility. The log I output to would tell me what line it failed on. Am I doing something wrong?
