Split an array of string and flatten into single array

December 17, 2016, 4:05 am
$

0

I have a following array of strings

$array = @("asdf asdf","aaa ddd","cccc a","aaaa dd")

and I would like to split every element of that array by a new line and put the result into  array

So expected result should look as follows

@("asdf", "asdf", "aaa", "ddd", "cccc", "a", "aaaa", "dd")

I would like to avoid using nested foreach statement and preferably use some kind of SelectMany syntax

So far I've tried 

$result = $array | %{$_.Split([Environment]::NewLine)}  
$result = $array | Select-Object -ExpandProperty $_.Split([Environment]::NewLine)

but with no luck. Any thoughts?

How to execute button action when powershell script starts

December 22, 2016, 6:47 am

Hello Forum,

I have a PowerShell that creates a gui app with some buttons on the app.  When the app loads I have a Search button with the following code behind it to build the search parameters:

Function Search-ObjectName()
{
    $ErrorProvider.Clear()
    If($tbObjectName.Text.Length -eq 0)
    {
        $ErrorProvider.SetError($tbObjectName, 'Please enter a search name.')
    }
    Else
    {
        $lbObjectName.Items.Clear()
        $ObjectName = $tbObjectName.Text -split ','
        ForEach($o in @($RBObjectTypeA, $RBObjectTypeB, $RBObjectTypeC))
        {
            If($o.Checked)
            {
                $ObjectType = $o.Text
            }
        }
        $PMObjects = @()
        $PMObjects = Get-MonitoringObjects -ObjectType $ObjectType -ObjectName $ObjectName -ManagementGroup $MG -GUIList
        If($PMObjects)
        {
            $lbObjectName.BeginUpdate()
            ForEach($PMObject in $PMObjects)
            {
                $lbObjectName.Items.Add($PMObject.DisplayName)| Where{$lbObjectName -match "xyzcompany.*"}
            }
            $lbObjectName.EndUpdate()
        }
    }
}

In my Windows Forms Assembly section I've added this bit of code to build the Search button:

    $btnSearchObjectName = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
    $btnSearchObjectName.Name = 'btnSearch'
    $btnSearchObjectName.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(250,95)
    $btnSearchObjectName.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(60,20)
    $btnSearchObjectName.Text = 'Search'
    $btnSearchObjectName.TabIndex = 3
    $btnSearchObjectName.Add_Click({Search-ObjectName})

How would I execute the pressing of the Search Button at startup?  Right now my app works in that the groupbox is empty but the user can press the Search button and the results are displayed.  But what I'd like to have happen is when the user opens the app the search results are already displayed.  What code do I need to add...and to where do I add this code to have the Search button executed when the app opens?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Bug in PS Import-PfxCertificate - Verify?

December 22, 2016, 11:21 am

I have run into an insidious bug with the Import-PfxCertificate on Windows 2012 R2. When attempting to use this cmdlet, the certificate and cert authority that signed it are successfully imported, but the private key is not. What makes this totally crazy is that the command succeeds, and even the HasPrivateKey bit is set, but the PrivateKey value is null. A long time ago when I ran into this problem I switched to running certutil to do the import instead, and that worked all the way up till now, and evidently the timing/downstream mechanism that is calling certutil (we do this in AWS EC2 during instance bootstrap) has changed in a way that makes this command also succeed but generate bogus private key data. Here is an example of the boom:

Import-PfxCertificate -CertStoreLocation cert:\LocalMachine\My -Password $pw -FilePath C:\PropertyFiles\my_cert.pfx

This cmdlet generates no errors and does product a certificate entry. When I look at the cert details I get the following:

PSPath                   : Microsoft.PowerShell.Security\Certificate::LocalMachine\My\A2455AA3A4D4E553B3FF4023DEE2B49F9

Subject                  : C=US, S=NY, L=New York, O=Infor, OU=Infor Labs, CN=IR_SDK_CERT

Note that the HasPrivateKey attribute is set to True, but PrivateKey is null. On a valid import, PrivateKey should be  System.Security.Cryptography.RSACryptoServiceProvider. If I run certutil -importpfx -p password C:\PropertyFiles\my_cert.pfx AFTER the system has bootstrapped, this value has been filled in, and the cert is usable by a .NET app that's trying to utilize it. However, in _all_ cases in PS and in the bootstrap case with certutil, this is blank.

Can I get a verification that this is a bug, and any potential other alternate workarounds, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hi we are moving from one office 365 (not synced, cloud only) to another which is ad synced and has an onsite exchange server for admin only. I'd like to export all of our current users email aliases then import them on the exchange 2016 server which syncs with o365.

Someone mentioned to me try:

Get-Recipient -ResultSize Unlimited | Export-Clixml C:\Recipients.xml 

then copy xml to exchange server

then from exchange run:

$recipients = Import-CliXml "C:\Recipients.xml"

$Recipients|where{$_.RecipientType -eq "UserMailbox"}|foreach{Set-MailUser -EmailAddresses:$_.EmailAddresses -PrimarySMTPAddress:$_.PrimarySMTPAddress}

but i get:

cmdlet Set-MailUser at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:

Not sure if theres a different way we could do this?

I've seen this to export might be better but not sure how to import....

Get-WBSummary for multiple backup sets

Hello Everybody,

I hope someone can help me with a (i thought Simple) Powershell Problem.

Im currently configuring Windows Server Backup on a Hyper-V Server 2012 Standard.

After reading through the best-practises i configured my Hyper-V host to backup the Vms by using the -hyperv switch and it works great (although i havent tested a restore yet).

The Problems im facing now is trying to figure out a way to get my backup results into our monitoring tool (PRTG). For single machines i usually just use Get-WBSummary wich gives me all the information i need. But now on this Hyper-V host by backing up multiple machines the summary of the last backup is not enough anymore. Sadly there is no switch / filter im able to find to get a WBSummary result for the backed up hyper-v vms.

Is there anyway to get WBSumamry like results for each backupset? ( Get-WBBackupSet | GEt-WBSumamry sadly won't work :-) ).  Expecially intresting would be the LastBackupResultHR, DetailedMessage and  LastSuccessfulBackupTime

Thanks in advance

IF statement and loop

Hello PowerShell smart people..

I am working on a little project where I want to remotely execute an .exe with switches and parameters when a computer connects to the network. Here is the PowerShell I have so far.

## Declare credentials
$username = "username"
$password = cat C:\mysecurestring.txt | ConvertTo-SecureString
$cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential '
        -argumentlist $username, $password '

## Test if computer is online
If (Test-Connection 192.168.1.100)

## If computer is online then connect to it remotely in PowerShell
    {
    Enter-PSSession -ComputerName hostname -Credential $cred

## Execute command for program
    Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {program.exe -parameter 1 /f /s -parameter 2}
    }

I have successfully been able to manually run the Enter-PSSession and get to a shell on the remote computer. From there I am successfully able to execute "program.exe -parameter 1 /f /s -parameter 2". Now the goal is to automate the process. The Test-Connection should listen on the network for the IP to come online. Once it does then a Enter-PSSession should be established and the program.exe executed. Sometimes the program.exe will quit but I will still be connected to the remote PowerShell session. I would like the .exe to restart if it quits. Once the computer goes offline, I want the PowerShell to go back to listening and waiting for it again.


Thanks in advance for the assistance.

How to get data from Powershell with the "Method" variables similar to "Property" values.

Hi All,

I have a question, Searched in the search engines but i did not find the relevant answer, Not sure if my search query was correct.

I have a command in powershell which i run post importing a module which is related to a Microsoft application.

Command: Get-SCOMAgent | Get-Member

So below is the output of the command:

For example if i use the command: Get-SCOMAgent | Where-Object {$_.Networkname - Like "XYZ"} | Select Networkname
Here i used a "property" in filtering the command.

This will give me the filtered data of the network name matching the criteria,

Similarly i want data from the "Method" Values as well. so i used the below which is obvious it will not work as i am doing it the wrong way, But wanted to show what i am exactly looking to pull out:

Get-SCOMAgent | Where-Object {$_.GetPrimaryManagementServer - Like "SCOGPRDCGY001"}

Does any one know how can i do this  or any articles which talk on how to get the values / data from a "Method" Variable ?

Extract data from string file returned from System.Net.WebClient

I'm using Powershell to send a SMS through a SMS Gateway provider.  The sending works great this is the last line of my code: 
$wc.DownloadString($url) | Out-File C:\result.txt
the result.txt looks like this:

{
    "message-count": "1",
    "messages": [{
        "to": "11234567899",
        "message-id": "0D0000001B0AB5ED",
        "status": "0",
        "remaining-balance": "1.92020000",
        "message-price": "0.00570000",
        "network": "310004"
    }]
}

The only part I care about is the status in this case it's a zero, but it could be a two-digit number.  I'd like to extract just the value of the status line and put that in it's own file called r.txt  With r.txt containing just the 0

Is this possible and if so could someone get me pointed in the right direction.

Thanks,
Kevin
