Out-File - writing a varable to text line by line
Hi All,
Is it possible to use out-file to write a variable into text line by line. Any help is appreciated.
Example Script:
$HotfixList = (Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Hotfixes\")."Hotfix List"
$HotfixList | Out-File "d:\temp\$date-$CompName-Hotfix.log" -Append
The $HotfixList Variable has output that looks like this at the PowerShell window
PS C:\Windows\system32> $HotfixList

PowerShell Eventing without console window open
Hello all,
I am trying to use PowerShell eventing to refresh a webpage every so often, and I thought using PowerShell eventing with a Timer would be a good way to accomplish this. However, it appears I have to keep the PowerShell console window open for the script to work. Is it possible for this script to work without the console window open, i.e. to run as a background task?
cls
$Shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.application
#First, let's practice by creating a timer object
$Timer = New-Object system.timers.timer
Register-ObjectEvent -InputObject $Timer -EventName Elapsed -MaxTriggerCount 5 -Action {
#The output from a triggered event action is discarded, so we need to use write-host to capture it
write-host "Refreshing IE window..." -NoNewline
#Refresh any "Google" IE windows
$Shell.Windows() | ?{$_.document.url -like "*Google*"} | %{$_.refresh()}
write-host "Done" -ForegroundColor Green
}
$Timer.Interval = 1000
$Timer.AutoReset = $true
$Timer.Enabled = $true↧
Remove heading when using get-adgroup
I'm using Sync-ADObject to replicate a newly created group to all domain controllers before continuing with my script.
The script does
1. Create the group using New-ADGroup
2. Gets the DN of the group using '$repgroup = Get-ADGroup -Identity " " | Select DistinguishedName'
3. In a foreach loop runs against the other Domain Controllers.
I'm getting stuck with step 2 it does bring back the details I require for step 3. But includes the heading "DistinguishedName and hash line" in the '$repgroup' variable.
How can I stop this from happening?

Disable remote systems network without timeout lag
I am writing a powershell script to quarantine a computer and have a problem of a huge timeout lag when remotely disabling the network interface.
The interface goes offline, but powershell waits ~4-5 minutes to timeout before moving on the the next lines of code.
Anyone know how I could remotely disable the network adapters without the huge time lag?
Thanks in advance!

Scheduled reboot with a message
Hi together,
I'd like to realize following:
1) Restart all member computers in a domain group in a scheduled day / time.
2) Scheduled day / time is on Wednesday each 2 weeks.
3) 15 minutes before the server is rebooted, a user group should get an emailthat the computers will be rebooted in 15 minutes.
4) All applications should be forced to close.
5) In each reboot, a log file of the reboot should be generated and saved in a local folder.
6) The scheduled reboot script will be used with a domain group policy.
I can restart the Computers with following script. But how can I realize others?
Get-ADGroupMember "Domain group to restart" |
ForEach-Object{
Restart-Computer -ComputerName $_.Name
} Best Regards

Change paths of Select-String to Desktop Path
I need to move some scripts and files off a shared drive.
Select-String \\opdrive\Data\*.txt -pattern "Host" -Context 0,1|Out-File \\opdrive\Data\Results\result.txt
Just an example file. I would like to know how to get both parts to follow desktop path where I have recreated the files and folders. Both methods I found did not work keep telling me invalid path. For instance:
Select-String $UserPath=$($env:USERPROFILE)\Desktop\Data\*.txt -pattern "Host" -Context 0,1|Out-File $UserPath=$($env:USERPROFILE)\Desktop\Data\Results\Result.txt
I have read the pages on the special folders but it isn't that clear to me as a newbie where they are used.
Any assistance appreciated.

There are around 1000 files in the folder. I need to move files one by one every 4 seconds to another folder and also based on thename. So for the above for files,
First file to be moved from folder A to folder B is

After 4 seconds,
201610051112267_{A5FFD74A-B83A-4A43-B72C-8C93EE8E3592}
Is it possible to do this in Powershell and also please suggest how to implement?

Script not hiding from Exchange lists
I'm cleaning up a little script we use at work to help us terminate employees and remove them. The script pulls the user, sets their description, copies all their groups to a text file, deletes them from all the groups, gives them a random password, expires the account, and moves it to a special OU marked for deletion.
All those steps work.. There is a line set to hide the users mailbox from global address lists.. When I run the script, the line doesn't work.. But after the script finishes, if I type the EXACT same line, it does it.. Here's the script with important parts
blocked for safety reasons.
Import-Module activedirectory
cls
$today = get-date -Format "MM-dd-yyyy"
$userstoremove = read-host "Enter username "
New-PSDrive -Name dest -Root \\remoteoutputlocation\ -PSProvider FileSystem
foreach ($user in $userstoremove) {
$ranpass = -join ((65..90) + (48..57) + (97..122) | Get-Random -Count 10 | % {[char]$_})
Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $user | select name | sort name > "dest:\$user-$today.txt"
# 1. Retrieve the user
$User = Get-ADUser $user -Properties memberOf
# 2. Set user description to delete after today
Set-ADUser $user -Description "DELETE AFTER $today"
# 3. Hide user from address lists
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize "Unlimited" -Identity $user |
Set-Mailbox -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true
# 4. Retrieve groups that the user is a member of
$Groups = $User.memberOf |ForEach-Object {
Get-ADGroup $_
}
# 5. Go through the groups and remove the user
$Groups |ForEach-Object { Remove-ADGroupMember -Identity $_ -Members $User -Confirm:$false }
# 6. Create a random password
Set-adaccountpassword $user -reset -newpassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText $ranpass -Force)
Write-Host "The password for $user has been set to $ranpass"
# 7. Lets make sure user is expired also
Set-ADAccountExpiration -Identity $user -DateTime '12/10/1980 00:00:00'
# 8. Now to disable the account
Disable-ADAccount -Identity $user
# 9. And move the account to the TO DELETE
Get-ADUser $user | Move-ADObject -TargetPath 'OU=To Delete,DC=somedomain,DC=edu'As stated, step three doesn't work in the script but if I manually type it after, no issues..
I'm lost here.. What gives?

How to check if action is completed in step 1 and then proceed to step 2 via powershell?
I have a general question about how to handle the flow of powershell commands.
for e.g
1) I am adding a windows server node to an existing cluster, which takes about 60 to 120 seconds per say.
$getclusternode = Get-Cluster –Name "abc" | Add-ClusterNode –Name "node1"
2) then set cluster parameters. "set-clusterparameters"
could I use something below.
if(!$getclusternode)
{
sleep 120
}
goal is that only after step 1 is completed, then powershell should go to next line to execute the next command in line. What is the best way to do that?

PowerShell ISE Freezes after executing WinForms
Hello, I've been having an issue with my PowerShell ISE. I am currently developing a PowerShell script that generates Windows Forms for gathering and displaying data. From what I can tell, the application runs and works great. However, after I execute
the code once in the ISE (and close the app/stop execution gracefully); if I leave the ISE idle, for about 10 minutes, the ISE will freeze and I have to crash it with Task Manager. If winform code has not been executed, ISE works fine indefinitely. Thoughts
on why my ISE constantly crashes when working on winform based scripts? Thanks.

Run Powershell script as Scheduled task, that uses Excel COM object
What am I missing here..
I have Powershell script that uses the Quest AD cmdlets to get computer information from AD and populate an Excel spreadsheet with the data.
The script works fine, so I created a batch file and started the script from there (which works fine as well). It populates the excel spreadsheet, saves and closes the file.
If I run the script as a scheduled task, I can see from the logging that it supposedly gets the computers from AD, and runs through them. But a file is never saved, I have tried to run the scheduled task with admin credentials.
What am I forgetting?
