Good day all,

I was trying out the Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo.ps1 script and is trying to find a way to save the corresponding filename to use the serial number of the machine which I am running out.

So far I have tested using the command,

$SN = gwmi win32_bios | fl SerialNumber

which returned the serial number correct in the variable $SN.

When I tried to save it using the command,

Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo.ps1 -OutputFile D:\$SN.csv

I got the error saying the output filename is too long and have exceed the max length allowed.

I wanted to run the commands in a batch file so it will just generate the corresponding serial number of the machine I run it on.

Hi All,

below is PULL server config

=======================

Configuration HTTPPullServer

{

   # Module must exist on Pull server

Import-DscResource -ModuleName xPSDesiredStateConfiguration

       Node localhost

       {
           xDSCWebService PSDSCPullServer
           {
             Ensure = 'Present'
             EndpointName = 'PSDSCPullServer'
             Port = 8080
             PhysicalPath = "$env:SYSTEMDRIVE\inetpub\wwwroot\PSDSCPullServer"
             CertificateThumbPrint = 'AllowUnencryptedTraffic'
             ModulePath = "$env:PROGRAMFILES\WindowsPowerShell\DscService\Modules"
             ConfigurationPath = "$env:PROGRAMFILES\WindowsPowerShell\DscService\Configuration"
             State = 'Started'
             UseSecurityBestPractices =$False

           }          
   }
}

 # Running this Script will Generate a .Mof file in the location below

HTTPPullServer -OutputPath 'C:\dsc\PullServerConfig\'

Client LCM config

[DSCLocalConfigurationManager()]
configuration LCM_HTTPPULL
{
    

    Node localhost
    {
        Settings
        {

            RefreshMode = 'Pull'
            ConfigurationMode = 'ApplyandAutoCorrect'
            
        }

        ConfigurationRepositoryWeb server-PullSrv
        {
            ServerURL          = 'http://server:8080/PSDSCPullServer.svc' # notice it is https
            RegistrationKey    = '16f46d7b-3b45-4a22-9159-c0dfbb25c032'
            
            AllowUnsecureConnection =$True
            ConfigurationNames = @('test')     

        }

        ReportServerWeb Server-PullSrv
        {
            ServerURL       = 'http://server:8080/PSDSCPullServer.svc' # notice it is https
             AllowUnsecureConnection =$True
        }
    }
}

=============================

And then i create a test.mof

Configuration test
{
    Import-DscResource –ModuleName 'PSDscResources'
    Node localhost
    {
        Registry DisableRC4_128
        {
             Key = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers\RC4 128/128'
             ValueName = 'Enabled'
             ValueData = '0'
             ValueType = 'Dword'
}

       }

}

and then i put test.mof and it test.mof.checksume  put into C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\DscService\Configuration

but on the client i run update-dsconfiguration -verbose -wait, i saw below log

The attempt to 'get an action' for AgentId A2F77D6E-9CA7-11E8-BB36-005056A7C4C5 from server URL http://server:8080///PSDSCPullServer.svc/Nodes(AgentId='A2F77D6E-9CA7-11E8-BB36-005056A7C4C5')/GetDscAction failed
with server error 'ResourceNotFound(404)'.
For further details see the server error message below or the DSC debug event log with ID 4339.
ServerErrorMessage:- 'The assigned configuration 'test' is not found in the pull server configuration repository.'

Please give me some hits. Thanks

Hi All,

The below mention code is for getting App Pool Status & require the HTML page of all server in ONE HTML. Output is generating only the HTML but not generating the content inside the HTML.

Sumeet Gill

Need a powershell script to add host entries to an existing host file for a list of servers.

It should pull from something like servers.txt which will have IP Address or hostname of the server(s) getting updated, add entries to the host file currently located in the standard windows directory, and give an output to a document such as Hosts-Changed.txt of Server that that was updated.

I'm new at powershell scripting and have cobbled together a script from examples, but like any noob, I am running into some issues.  Your feedback is appreciated.

This script should read $logfile and output entries in the past ten minutes that include text "DPR-ERR".   The log file has datetime stamp formatted like "2018-08-09 07:51:40.714"      I'm using PS v5.   

The errors are listed when I run

PS C:\users\lleichman-sa\Desktop> $logfile = "E:\cognos\c10_64\logs\cogserver.log" 

cat $logfile |
Select-String "DPR-ERR" -SimpleMatch |
  select -expand line

ervices	StopService	IBM Cognos Enhanced Search Service		Success

When I run my test script, I'm getting the following error:

# This script will parse the log file and list errors posted in the last ten minutes including "DPR-ERR"s.

$logfile = "E:\cognos\c10_64\logs\cogserver.log" 

cat $logfile |
Select-String "DPR-ERR" -SimpleMatch |
  select -expand line |
     foreach {
              $_ -match '(.+)\s\[(DPR-ERR)\]\s(.+)'| Out-Null 
              $error_time = [datetime]($matches[1]).split(",")[0]
              if ($error_time -gt (Get-Date).AddMinutes(-10).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss:fff")) 
              {
              write-output "CRITICAL: There is an error in the log file $logfile around $($error_time.ToShortTimeString())"; exit(2) 
              }
            }
  write-output "OK: There was no errors in the past 24 hours." 

I'm stumped, hoping someone might have an idea. Let me provide a short overview:

I'm comparing objects in two different arrays based on a specific property. It works fine when I run it manually (e.g. via Powershell ISE), but when I run it through a scheduled task the compare produces no results when I know it should and it works when I run it manually. The thing I don't get is this script has other sections in it that utilize Compare-Object, and to my knowledge, they work fine.

What am I missing here? Not sure what else to do to troubleshoot, what I've been doing as a troubleshoot step is export the results from both arrays i'm comparing as well as the one that contains the compare results. Both source arrays have data, but the comparison comes up empty. Again, I run it manually I get results.

Any idea? This is the code:

$userObjects = Get-ADObject `
-LDAPFilter "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(msExchHideFromAddressLists=TRUE)(uncPID=*)(homeMDB=*)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))" `
-SearchBase $userObjPath -ResultSetSize $null `
-Properties $objAttributes -Server $domainController | select $objAttributes -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

#Compare the current dual account users to the hidden contact objects, if they don't exist as a current dual account user, select them looking at the PID
$formerDualAcctUsers = Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $dualAcctUsers -DifferenceObject $userObjects -Property uncPID -PassThru | `
where { $_.sideIndicator -eq "=>" } | select $userObjAttr

#Export the arrays to view the results, when run manually $formerDualAcctUsers has data, when ran as a scheduled task it is empty
$userObjects | export-csv -path "C:\UNCH\GalSync\userObjs.csv" -notypeinformation
$dualAcctUsers | export-csv -path "C:\UNCH\GalSync\dualAcctUsers.csv" -notypeinformation
$formerDualAcctUsers | export-csv -path "C:\UNCH\GalSync\former_dacu.csv" -notypeinformation

Howdy,

I know I can use the lastlogondate to find Ad accounts that are not used but we're looking to do something a bit different.  When someone leaves our company, we go in and Deactivate their Ad account and move it to a different OUs than the rest of them.  I'm looking to find a script that can find the accounts that have been deactivated for more than 60 days based on the date that we flagged it as inactive and not based on when they logged in last.

Is that easily accomplished?  If so, can someone point me towards a tutorial or give me a sample?  I'm searching around but haven't found this exact scenario yet.

Thanks!

Hi All,

I am trying to get NIC settings from list of windows servers along with  NIC label "NetConnectionID " and DNS suffer list, but unable to accommodate them in excel output , kindly help , below is the script 

I am attempting to configure a pssc file with required groups for smart-card authentication. I have added the following line to the .pssc:

RequiredGroups = @{ or = 'smartcard-logon' } but I keep receiving the following error message when attempting to register the file:

Register-PSSessionConfiguration : Some or all identity references could not be translated.
At line:1 char:1

If I remove the line the file registers fine and if I run test-pssessionconfigurationfile I receive "True".

Hi all.

I would like to ask you, if it is possible to change encoding of API response. Response is in XML format.

My request is below: (yes, there is no dot between www and info)

$Response = Invoke-RestMethod http://wwwinfo.mfcr.cz/cgi-bin/ares/darv_std.cgi?ico=28146123

You can try it on your own. You don't need any authorization. It's public list of czech firms.

This request returns me response, where is the city with special character 'á' (Tábor) and powershell shows me 'Tábor' instead.

This city is deep in reponse - $response.ares_odpovedi.odpoved.zaznam.identifikace.Adresa_ARES

so I would like to change encoding of whole XML response. I tried to save it to file and then load it with different encoding, but it didn't work for me. I wanted to change it using [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($Response), but it changes only the root of response:

So I tried [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($Response.ares_odpovedi.odpoved.zaznam.identifikace.Adresa_ARES), but it also returns only root.

Please, could you help me with this issue? 

Thank you for eny advices.

Kind regards, Daniel Vácha

Now, if I run the 2nd test

Get-Hosts |% { Get-HostUserActivity -LoggedOnUsers -ComputerNames $_ }

I will get output but the function will be run 3 times.

PS C:\windows\system32> .\pipeline_simplified.ps1

Hostname : computer1

Hostname : computer2

I have been doing a lot of reading into Powershell's pipeline but I can not seem to figure out what it is I am doing wrong.  My goal is to be able to generate a list of hosts usingGet-Hosts and then pass that list into Get-HostUserActivityand get something like the following output (or if there is a better looking way to gather this information then ill do that this is just the way I have found that works best)

PS C:\windows\system32> .\pipeline_simplified.ps1

Hostname : computer1
Users    : user1

Hostname : computer2
Users    : user1,user2

Hostname : computer3
Users    : user3
