Advanced Functions - can pipeline input be transformed in Begin block?

August 7, 2018, 11:02 pm
$
0
0

I need to transform data passed into an Advanced Function before the Process block.  Can I re-use the input variable name and assign a new object to it in the Begin block?  I want to maintain the script as a Function and avoid a separate script for the transformation.

[CmdletBinding()]
Param (
    [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)][array]$arr
)

Begin {
    # 'transform arr'
    $arr =  @{1='a';2='b';3='c'}
}
Process {
    $arr.GetEnumerator() | Out-String
    # more processing here
}
End {
    # Output here
}

The script is named Example1.ps1 - it would be called something like this:

.\Example1.ps1 @('a','b','c')

Is this a valid use of the pipeline?  Other suggestions?

AD Computers - Count OS Version by OU

Goal: Count computer objects in AD by OU, by OperatingSystemVersion, across multiple domains. Return output should include the following: Domain | OU Name | Operating System Name | Operating System Version | Count

I have a skeleton script created , but I'm having difficulty getting the counts split by OS version. I'm working with group-object, which does get the counts by OS version, but I'm not sure what the best way is to output those values in the table above.

Import-Module -Name ActiveDirectory

Clear-Host

$Output = @()
$Domains = ("abc.contoso.com","def.contoso.com","ghi.contoso.com")

foreach ($DC in $Domains) {

    $OUs = Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter * -Server $DC -Properties Description, DistinguishedName

    Foreach ($OU in $OUs) {

        $Computers = Get-ADComputer -Filter {Enabled -eq "true"} -Server $DC -SearchBase $OU -Properties Name, Enabled, OperatingSystem, OperatingSystemVersion | select Name, Enabled, OperatingSystem, OperatingSystemVersion

        Write-Output "Scanning OU: $($OU.DistinguishedName)"

        $OutputItem = New-Object PSObject;

        $OutputItem | Add-Member NoteProperty "Domain" $DC
		$OutputItem | Add-Member NoteProperty "OU Name" $OU.Name
		$OutputItem | Add-Member NoteProperty "OperatingSystem" $NEEDHELP
		$OutputItem | Add-Member NoteProperty "OperatingSystemVersion" $NEEDHELP
		$OutputItem | Add-Member NoteProperty "Count" 

        $Output += $OutputItem

    }

}

$Output | Out-GridView

WebService authentication issue

Hi

I have been having issues connecting to an internal webservice - 401 Unauthorized.  I get this connecting from PowerShell and from a Project created using Visual Studio.

For some reason it looks like basic authentication is not being used so adding the following in the Visual Studio Project (Reference.cs created from wsdl file) works:

public partial class testServiceNoKeepAlive : testService
   {
       protected override System.Net.WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri uri)
       {
           System.Net.HttpWebRequest request;
           request = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest)base.GetWebRequest(uri);
           request.KeepAlive = false;

           System.Net.NetworkCredential networkCredentials = Credentials.GetCredential(uri, "Basic");

           if (networkCredentials != null)

           { byte[] credentialBuffer = new UTF8Encoding().GetBytes(networkCredentials.UserName + ":" + networkCredentials.Password); request.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(credentialBuffer); }

           else

           { throw new ApplicationException("No network credentials"); }

           return request;
       }

   }

Can something similar be done in PowerShell?

Thanks

we have local AD that synchronizes to O365

we are adding a new email address with new domain to all users in two phases.

1) add new email address and let settle.

2) make new email address the primary email address (smtp: -> SMTP:)

I have a script I found where everything seems to work until the last command:

Set-ADUser -identity $UserName -Replace @{ProxyAddresses=$NewProxyAddresses}

The error I get with this command is:

Invalid type 'System.Management.Automation.PSObject'.
Parameter name: ProxyAddresses
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (user:ADUser) [Set-ADUser], ArgumentException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Invalid type 'System.Management.Automation.PSObject'.
Parameter name: ProxyAddresses,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.SetADUser

The output of $NewProxyAddresses is:

smtp:user@olddomain.com
smtp:user@domain.com
X400:C=us;A= ;P=Company;O=Exchange;S=surname;G=givenname;
SMTP:firstlast@newdomain.com

The output of the $newProxyAdderesses is correct, but I am unable to run the set-aduser command

Combining csv files

Hi,

I have no experience with PowerShell, however I've been tasked with merging two CSV files. The files involve remote computer information that is pulled from a computer list. One CSV file contains last user etc. the other is specific with hard drive information as some of these machines have multiple drives. I found a script that will combine CSV2 to the last column of CSV1.  The rows match perfectly however the script changes order of the columns in CSV2.  Is there a way to get this done without changing the column orders in CSV2?.

How to rename multiple registry entries at once.

Hi all, 

I just started trying to learn powershell and I thought I'll create a script to clean up office. 

For folders I managed to write the code:

Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\MSOCache\All Users" *0FF1CE*| Rename-Item -NewName {$_.Name + ".OLD"} -Force -ErrorAction 'silentlycontinue

However, this does not work with Registry where I need to search with wildcard? Correct me if I'm wrong.

$Path="HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft"
Get-Item -Path $Path\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*TEST* | Rename-Item -NewName TEST.OLD -Force

Get-Item -Path $Path\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*TEST*


    Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall


SKC  VC Name                           Property                                                                                                                                        
---  -- ----                           --------                                                                                                                                        
  0   0 xxxTESTzzz                     {}                                                                                                                                              
  0   0 zzzTESTzzz                     {}

So the Reg  keys are being found. If I run the code as above, it only changes one of the two.

I also tried exactly as per Office folder. 

$Path="HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft"
Get-Item -Path $Path\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*TEST* | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.Name + ".OLD"} -Force

It just says that the key at the specified path does not exist. I assume that when I run the ps it searches for *TEST* folder and not for keys containing TEST in name. 

What I want to achieve is exactly as per MSOCache, renaming xxxTESTxxx to xxxTESTxxx.OLD and zzzTESTzzz to zzzTESTzzz.OLD

Greatly appreciating your help, also if possible with explanation.

Thanks!

Resolving Linux file owners returned by Get-Acl

August 8, 2018, 12:08 pm
$

This may not be the correct place for this question, and if so I apologize.

I've been handed a project of surveying all the files on many Linux servers to see which users across the entire cluster are using the most files, and to sort users by latest file modified. The person who gave me this project wants me to do it in bash by fiddling with the string outputs of many commands. I could do it much easier in PowerShell, except for these problems: the servers are too old to run PowerShell for Linux, and when I run it on Windows through Samba shares, Get-Acl can't resolve the returned SIDs to user names. If I could just figure out how to resolve a SID to a Linux owner name, I'd be all set, and I'd be able to sort and sum any file properties I wanted as objects.

For example, I could run this:

Get-Item -Path \\server\share\testfile | Get-Acl | Select owner

I'd get a result of a string SID, like so:

O:S-1-5-21-3211650329-300098617-3820912319-1070

Even though the user name and user ID are the same on every node of the cluster, I get a different SID returned from each node.

But if I look at the file in Windows Explorer and look at its security tab, Windows is able to resolve the owner to server\username. So that information is SOMEWHERE.

Is there anything I can do in PowerShell that will let me access this mapping?
