Need some help...

I need to be able to assign a license for a particular Service Plan (SP) - lets say Office 365 ProPlus for this example - to all users. However, SOME users may already have various Service Plans assigned - Yammer or Sharepoint Online, for this example.

From what I have read and tried, I can assign the Office 365 SKU but that gives them access to all Service PLans under that SKU. I can also give then the O365 License, and then DIASBLE everything except O365 ProPlus. This would, of course, also remove any Yammer or SharePoint Online SP they may have enabled.

In my head, i think the answer is to grab all SPs assigned to them, throw it in an array, and then clear everything and add them back from the array with the addition of O365 ProPlus.

That correct? and is it the best way? There doesnt seem to be a way to simply give a certain SP in an additive way...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Bonjour,

je suis en train de développer en powershell un script pour la création d'un utilisateur dans l'ad.

Je souhaiterais pouvoir assigner au nouveau utilisateur une plage horaire d'accès, mais plutôt que de

coder un script en powershell/batch, j'aurais voulu s'avoir s'il n'était pas tout simplement possible, une fois

l'utilisateur crée, de faire pop sa fenêtre de configuration des horraire d'accès (voir screen ci-dessous) via une commande powershell :

Merci d'avance pour votre aide, cordialement

I need to create a PowerShell script that sorts computer objects in Active Directory

We are moving to a standardized naming convention and would like to have a script that runs on an interval that searches a particular OU and based upon the name moves the computer to a particular OU.

Our computer naming looks like this

ABC-L1234, XYZ-D1234

I'd like to make a script that matches the first three characters before the hypen, and then looks for the first character (L, D, T) followed by exactly 4 numbers and if it doesn't match exactly that skip it.

I have never fully understood RegEx well, probably because i've never had it explained to me well.

Any guidance would be great.

I'm trying to disable ICS (Internet connection sharing)  with powershell. 

This used to work, prior to September 2016.   An update to windows 10 sometime in September or October broke this script, now I see this exception when running 

PowerShell.exe  -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted  c:\temp\script.ps1

On the console i see:

Unhandled Exception: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Hi ! I've a little problem, the code that i write working, but is not very dynamic, so my goals are:

1- I would like to perform the check of each object and assign the correct value to the variable $colors

2- If the array $ListDiskUsage contains more than 4 values, manually already stated, I would like that the script create automatically new objects by following the same logic.

$ListDiskUsage is an array that could be contains 1 or 'n' values, actualy there are only 4 values but i want to optimize the code 

if ($ListDiskUsage[0] -ge '80' -and $ListDiskUsage[0] -lt '89'){ $colors = "0000FF|FFFF00" }
if ($ListDiskUsage[0] -ge '89'){ $colors = "0000FF|FF0000" }
if ($ListDiskUsage[0] -le '80'){ $colors = "0000FF|00FF00"}

$values = $ListDiskUsage[0],((100)-($ListDiskUsage[0]))
$text = $ListDeviceId[0],"FreeSpace"
$url = simpleEncoding $values $text "360x150" -Chart3D -title ("Disk Space",$ListDeviceId[0]) -colors $colors
DownloadAndShowImage -localfilename c:\a.png $url
$HTML = $HTML + "<BR><img src=C:\a.png>"


if ($ListDiskUsage[1] -ge '80' -and $ListDiskUsage[1] -lt '89'){ $colors = "0000FF|FFFF00" }
if ($ListDiskUsage[1] -ge '89'){ $colors = "0000FF|FF0000" }
if ($ListDiskUsage[1] -le '80'){ $colors = "0000FF|00FF00"}

$values = $ListDiskUsage[1],((100)-($ListDiskUsage[1]))
$text = $ListDeviceId[1],"FreeSpace"
$url = simpleEncoding $values $text "360x150" -Chart3D -title ("Disk Space",$ListDeviceId[1]) -colors $colors
DownloadAndShowImage -localfilename c:\b.png $url
$HTML = $HTML + "<img src=C:\b.png>"


if ($ListDiskUsage[2] -ge '80' -and $ListDiskUsage[2] -lt '89'){ $colors = "0000FF|FFFF00" }
if ($ListDiskUsage[2] -ge '89'){ $colors = "0000FF|FF0000" }
if ($ListDiskUsage[2] -le '80'){ $colors = "0000FF|00FF00"}

$values = $ListDiskUsage[2],((100)-($ListDiskUsage[2]))
$text = $ListDeviceId[2],"FreeSpace"
$url = simpleEncoding $values $text "360x150" -Chart3D -title ("Disk Space",$ListDeviceId[2]) -colors $colors

I am trying to get an inventory of printers installed on about 2000 systems at work and while I have the basic functionality of it worked out, I am unable to get some of the commands to run on remote machines. I downloaded a script from the TechNet Gallery that searched recursively through the Registry to find things, but I am unable to get it to run on the remote computers. I tried copying the modules to the remote system but every time I try to Enter-PSSession, it throws an error. I need to add a Debug statement to see what the exact error is, but I can manually run the steps from the console, but it won't work in my script. We recently got rid of our MS Print server and replaced it with VPSX, which turns each PC into a Print Server, so we are unable to find print jobs if one gets hung up, since we don't know which PC sent it. There are a lot of systems here (Desktops and Thin Clients) that are having an issue where they have only the old printers installed (old print queues are paused), they have no printers installed, or they have a mix of old and new printers installed in Devices and Printers. I found out that VPSX installs the printers as both a Network and Local printer, which makes it a little difficult to find them all. Some of the old printers are showing up in the HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider\... They don't always just show up in that location though. I'm trying to figure out why they are still in Devices and Printers, which I can't specifically locate, but that's why I'm searching for them. I hope one of you fine folks can give me the nudge I need in order to get this to work.  I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I'm just not seeing it.

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

I've written below script for taking sql server backup using a powershell workflow:

Import-Module PSWorkflow

Workflow BackupSQLDatabase{

    Param(
         [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
         [String] $DatabaseName
    )

    InlineScript{
        Import-Module SqlPS -Force
        $fileName = $DatabaseName + $(Get-Date -Format yyMMddhhmmss)
        Backup-SqlDatabase -ServerInstance localhost -Database AdventureWorks2014 -BackupFile "D:\Backups\$fileName.bak"
    }

}

When I'm trying to invoke workflow, I'm getting this error:

Please advise. 

Over the weekend, I upgraded my laptop to Windows 8.1 Enterprise (with the 8.1 update). All went well but when I go to install the WMF 5.0 preview, i get :

Any clues to what I need to do to get this to work?

Hi folks

I wrote a script that deploys a new server to ActiveDirectory based on a hostname. It creates a

-computeraccount

-6 securitygroups

-changes membership of those securitygroups

-creates a GPO

-changes GPO filtering

-links the GPO to the server-OU

After some jokes, I wrote a GUI for the script and now everybody seems to like it ;-) .

Until now, the script has to run on a domaincontroller. My last idea was to make it run from our jumphosts. So I tried to add a textbox to specify a hostname and a button that executes something like "enter-pssession -computername $hostname -credentials $creds" .

Is something like this possible? Without the GUI, I think it shouldn't be a big deal - but when using a button?

Thanks a lot for any help and best regards, Sven

Im trying to make a script that can auto configure a program called Awesync which can sync Calender with Gmail calender

Im using the module WASP for it

It works fine on the first window with the commands here

Select-Window $ProcessName | Set-WindowActive
Select-Window $ProcessName | Send-Keys '{TAB}'
Select-Window $ProcessName | Send-Keys '{ENTER}'

After that it opens the settings window in awesync and from there it dosent respond with the Send-Keys commands

i have tried with Select-ChildWindow command but it dosent seem to work either

Hi all

I ama having trouble updating a report csv with the error reference. Instead my report shows this under the Error column

My Report CSV

"GroupName","Result","Error"
"Group 1 (Domain Local)","Failed","Cannot append CSV content to the following file: C:\PS\Reports\SecurityGroups.csv. The appended object does not have a property that corresponds to the following column: Error. To continue with mismatched properties, add the -Force parameter, and then retry the command."

My report CSV shows the correct headings etc

I have no idea what is going on :( please help!

Hi,

I have written a function to get event logs from multiple machine as below. But getting error 'Cannot convert value to type System.String.' when passing a text file of computers using $comp = Get-Content -path 'file path'.

$Comp = Import-csv -Path 'CSV path'

Get-EventLogReport -Computer $Comp -Before '10/10/2016' -After 10/09/2016 -LogName 'System' -CSVPath C:\3.csv -Newest 5

Scripts:   

I am sure issue is with foreach but unable to fix it since morning.

Script is working fine when i am using -computername $env:computername

Thanks in advance
