Where is System.Management.Automation?
I need to run some powershell commands from VB.NET code. Apparently I should Import System.Management.Automation - however it is not found.
Powershell is installed. This MSDN page mentions system.management.automation.dll, however searching for this file finds nothing.
Where is this library?
Thanks,
Carol

Remote execution of a sqlcompare.exe seems to hang or stop when using the Invoke-WmiMethod –class Win32_process
Hi,
We are trying to Remotely execute sqlcompare.exe but it seems to hang or stop when using the Invoke-WmiMethod –class Win32_process.
When I run the exact same command on the local machine that has sqlcompare installed, then it works.
The command is essentially this.
[string]$Cmd = "e:\tools\synchronizedbs.bat $ScriptSource $Database2 $Sqlserver2 $Username2 $Password2 >> e:\tools\sync.log"
The powershell command is....
Invoke-WmiMethod –class Win32_process -name Create -ArgumentList ($Cmd) -ComputerName $Hostname -Credential $cred -erroraction Stop
the actual result from this execution in the sync.log file is
C:\Windows\system32>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\SQL Compare 13\sqlcompare.exe" /activateserial:sdfsdfsdfsfE88B /scripts1:E:\Remotescriptsource\CDR /database2:CDR /server2:ServerName /username2:%%%% /password2:%%%%% /sync /ScriptFile:E:\scriptfiles\scriptfileCDR
/options:ForceColumnOrder,IgnoreUsers,IgnorePermissions,IgnoreWhiteSpace,IgnoreUserProperties,IgnoreCollations,IgnoreConstraintNames,IncludeDependencies /exclude:User /exclude:Role /exclude:Synonym /include:identical
SQL Compare Command Line V13.4.0.6563
==============================================================================
Copyright c 1999 - 2018 Redgate Software Ltd
That is all that it shows
On a successful run on the local machine it would show this.
C:\Windows\system32>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\SQL Compare 13\sqlcompare.exe" /activateserial:xxxxxE88B /scripts1:E:\Remotescriptsource\CDR /database2:CDR /server2:ServerName /username2:%%%% /password2:%%%%% /sync /ScriptFile:E:\scriptfiles\scriptfileCDR

Any ideas? Any thoughts on what do try next or how to debug?

repeat script options
I'm a powershell nube that needs some help.
I have a script that works, basically its creating network locations in windows 10 to replace mapped drives.
It uses two variables, one for the name of the location, and one for the UNC path of the target.
I would like to create a single script that runs through this process several times with different values for the two variables each time.
Is there a more efficient way to do this beyond just copy/paste the entire process and changing the variable values? some way to repeat but with different values?
$name='Name'
$Target='\\servername\sharename'
$networkshortcut_name = $Name
$networkshortcut_target = $Target
$networkshortcuts_path = [Environment]::GetFolderPath('NetworkShortcuts')
$networkshortcut_path = "$networkshortcuts_path\$networkshortcut_name"
$desktopini_path = "$networkshortcut_path\desktop.ini"
$targetlnk_path = "$networkshortcut_path\target.lnk"
$desktopini_text = "[.ShellClassInfo]`r`nCLSID2={0AFACED1-E828-11D1-9187-B532F1E9575D}`r`nFlags=2"
if( Test-Path -Path $networkshortcut_path -PathType Container )
{
Remove-Item -Path $networkshortcut_path -Recurse -Force
}
[void](New-Item -Path $networkshortcut_path -ItemType directory)
Set-ItemProperty -Path $networkshortcut_path -Name Attributes -Value 1
Out-File -FilePath $desktopini_path -InputObject $desktopini_text -Encoding ascii
Set-ItemProperty -Path $desktopini_path -Name Attributes -Value 6
$WshShell = New-Object -com WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WshShell.CreateShortcut($targetlnk_path)
$Shortcut.TargetPath = $networkshortcut_target

GetSecurityDescriptor from WMI with nonexisting user in result list
I have a script with which I can add users/groups to the security settings of a WMI class. This script run's fine except when a nonexisting user has access tot the WMI class
The problem part of the script is the first line below
$output = Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace root/cimv2 -ComputerName computer1 -Path "__systemsecurity=@" -Name GetSecurityDescriptor $acl = $output.Descriptor $acl.DACL
When I run this script while a nonexisting user has access to the WMI class, I get an "Unexecpted Error". When I remove this user (S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxxxxx) through "Computer Manager", "WMI Control", "Properties", "Security", the script runs fine.
Is there a method to remove nonexisting users from WMI Classes, or to skip this user.
The error I get is:
Invoke-WmiMethod : Unexpected error
At line:1 char:18
+ $output = Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace root -ComputerName computer1 -Path ...

How to reconstruct a Forest name with the 'DC' moniker
Hi,
The goal is to add the 'DC=" moniker and a comma for all qualifiers in a Forest name, then store it in a variable for use in a subsequent command.
Based on the code below, I get a list of all Forests we have a trust to, then split thetarget property into qualifiers. Each Forest will have a variable number of qualifiers, which I determine based on the split with count method. So if the $Forest.Target = biz.mycompany.com, the $Array will contain all 3 qualifiers and the $Qualnumber will give me the count of qualifers.
The tough part is to now construct the target in the form 'DC=biz,DC=mycompany,DC=com' and store in a varialbe for subsequent use. I started a loop to iterate through each target where I can add the $DC and $Comma variables, but that is as far as I got. Any suggestions on how to rebuild the target is appreciated.
$DC = 'DC='
$Comma = ','
$AllForests = Get-ADTrust -Filter * | Sort Target | Select Target
Foreach ($Forest in $AllForests)
{
$Array = ($Forest.Target -split '\.')
$QualNumber = ($Forest.Target -split '\.').count
$i=1
for ($i; $i -le $QualNumber; $i++)
{Code here to dynamically build Forest name with DC component }
}Thanks for your help! SdeDot

Creating users via Powershell
Hi
First post here. I'm looking for a script that does 2 things
1. Create an AD User account
In fact I have this already, it takes a list of users from a CSV file and creates an on prem AD account for each user
However it then needs to do the following
2) Sleep for a predetermined length of time to allow for the AD account to become synchronised up to Azure AD via Azure AD Connect
3) Assign an O365 Business Essentials licence and then create an O365 mailbox for this new user.
Things to note
- Single AD domain
- Email services are cloud only, there is no hybrid or on-prem exchange, nor has their ever been. This is a brand mew company
- As such there has been No AD Prem and nowhere is there an installed Exchange Management Tools/Shell. Everything messaging related needs to be done against the 365 Powershell
- It would be nice to have a single script that does this end to end, but if I need two scripts then that will be OK, especially if they can both work from the same .csv file
Any pointers here would be great
Thanks all
Mike

Get members list from multiple AD groups
Hi,
Please help me out. What I'm doing is importing 16 AD groups in a PowerShell script and finding the list of users in those AD groups. I am doing this for audit purpose.
Since I'm exporting the user list for 16 AD groups, the -append parameter is making the list of users in the output file appear one next to it and I couldn't figure out which user belongs to which group, since there are 450 to 500 users in the output file. I need some changes in the below script so that each user appears with the group name for which it is extracted.
Example- script run for first AD group- lists 4 users in that AD group. The script runs again for another AD group, this should display with the users' list along with the Group name which is trying to export the list. Hope I am not complicating it. Please help me out.
$groups = Get-content -path "C:\Users\Santosh\OBIP.csv"
foreach ($GroupName in $groups)
{
Get-ADgroupmember -Id $GroupName -Recursive | Where objectclass -eq 'user' | Get-ADUser -Properties Displayname,GivenName,Surname,UserPrincipalName,Title,Department,Enabled,ObjectClass, memberof | Select DistinguishedName, samAccountName, Name, Displayname, GivenName, Surname, UserPrincipalName, Title, Department, Enabled, ObjectClass | export-csv -path "C:\Users\Santosh\OBIP\GN.csv" -Append
