Ok we have to enable script block logging but what I've noticed is that sccm and scom generate tons of noise within the logs "warning 4101", which are supposed to be signs of malware. I Know these scripts are not malware but they get logged anyway and at such a high rate that its rolling our logs over more frequently then I'd like and our seim process is based on gb stored. Is there something that I can do to get these system center products not to create false alerts.
thanks
I have some *.txt files in a folder named "apple" C:\APPLE
There are some subfolders in the C:\apple but numbers are unknown
I have a text file (say: sample.txt) , which contains a <chinese character> , a space , and the characters which want to replace
like this :
綫 綫
胆 胆
湶 湶
峯 峯one space between the chinese char and the string.
I hope I can use this file sample.txt file , to search ALL THE text files in the C:\APPLE\ and it subdirectories , find out those chinese characters and replace with the characters after that.
I have tried sed but no luck on chinese characters.
Any one have an idea?
Hello All,
I hoping that someone can help me (I am terrible at coding and even worse at powershell). My team performs a lot of patching/restarting of Servers - currently before we begin we log onto each server and export the services, at the end of the restarts etc we log back in and export the services again and compare to ensure that they match.
I'm looking for a way to do this quicker/easier - I discussed with a colleague who advised that we can do this via powershell, unfortunately i've been unable to get it to work, I have no idea where to start.
What i'm thinking is:
A menu screen:
1 - WMI - Pre-Patching Exports
2 - WMI - Post-Patching Exports
3 - WMI - Comparison
4 - Get Service * - Pre-Patching Exports
5 - Get Service * - Post-Patching Exports
6 - Get Service * - Comparison
With each command reads the "Server/Computer Name" from a Text file, for example:
for each Computer in $Computers {Get Service *} export to $ComputerName Before.XML
Compare $ComputerName Before.xml and $ComputerName After.xml
If anyone could help that would be great!!
Hi

Hi guys,
I have managed that I can change Current User format and input language by PowerShell using commands:
Set-WinSystemLocale en-US
Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US
But, is there any solution that I can change also the Welcome screen (System accounts) format and input language to en-US by some command? Of course manually you just go to Region -> Administrative -> Copy Settings. Trying to ask this because we have some script which install automatically several programs and it would be nice, if there is also the command at the beginning to change regional settings. This system account region is meaningful for programs.
Group Policy is not suitable because there is so many enviroments where to install these programs.
Hope you get what I try to ask.
how to work with pdf and itextsharp.dll in powershell
I'm trying to take numbers that are delimited by - in a file, add 280 to them, then output to a file... I am pulling the data like this:
$changeid = Get-Content $prevchangeid | Out-String
which gives us a return of:
320503427-331834355-313182001-358946497-339214016
How can I add 280 to each and write it out to the file again so I have this?
| 320503707 | -331834635 | -313182281 | -358946777 | -339214296 |
This is an expected behavior:
PS C:\> Test-Path-Path C:\MyFolder\ -IsValid-PathTypeContainerTrue
PS C:\>However, this seems to be incorrect:
PS C:\> Test-Path-Path C:\MyFolder\ -IsValid-PathTypeLeafTrue
PS C:\>According to the official documentation:
"Leaf. An element that does not contain other elements, such as a file."
Is it a bug or did I miss something?

Trying to do a script to ease up the need for formatting a lot of USBs
How ever i had the script working fine for like 1 or 2 times. Haven't been able to do get the command working again.
Format-Volume -DriveLetter D -FileSystem NTFS -FORCE -NewFileSystemLabel USB-Drive
As said this worked fine but haven't been able to get it to work again no matter what. No matter if i recreate the script. if i change how its run. It just simply wont work with NTFS.
Im just given this error.

Soo for the fun of it i tried to run the script on another pc. Sure enough worked there. Still dosent explain why it fails on the 1st pc.
Hello Humans
I want to try and apply this to my windows 2012r2 HyperV Server.
https://www.altaro.com/hyper-v/monitor-hyper-v-performance-powershell/
But when I enter Step 2
Get-CimInstance -class Win32_PerfFormattedData_BalancerStats_HyperVDynamicMemoryVM -ComputerName $computer |
Select Name,*Memory*,*Pressure | Out-GridView
I'll get the error Message
Get-CimInstance : The WinRM client sent a request to an HTTP server and got a response saying the requested HTTP URL was not available. This is usually returned by a HTTP server that does not support the WS-Management protocol.

Only Get-CimInstance -class Win32_PerfFormattedData_BalancerStats_HyperVDynamicMemoryVM works with no errors, but you know, it's like just the half Pizza.
If I run $Query from below I get the results I want. However, running the whole script returns just a '=' sign in the e-mail. Am I losing the result-set because I am converting to HTML? any advice greatly appreciated. I just want the Get-PublicFolderStatistics to be put in the $Style HTML table I have specified. Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks.
$style = "<style>BODY{font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;}"
$style = $style + "TABLE{border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;}"
$style = $style + "TH{border: 1px solid black; background: #dddddd; padding: 5px; }"
$style = $style + "TD{border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px; }"
$style = $style + "</style>"
$From = 'ExampleFrom@Exampledomain'
$To = 'ExampleTo@Exampledomain'
$Subject = 'ExampleSubject'
$Query = Get-PublicFolder '\ExamplePublicFolderPath' -Recurse | Get-PublicFolderStatistics | ConvertTo-Html -Head = $Style
$Message = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage $From, $To
$Message.Subject = $Subject
$Message.IsBodyHTML = 'True'
$Message.Body = $Query
$SMTPServer = 'ExampleSMTPServer'
$Smtp = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($SMTPServer)

Error:
Get-Date : Cannot bind parameter 'Date'. Cannot convert value
"11/30/2011 12:38 PM" to type "System.DateTime". Error: "String
was not recognized as a valid DateTime."
I've tired every thing like ParseExact, etc - nothing seems to work with this date. I'm trying to get it into the following format, ".ToString('yyyyMMdd_HHmmss')"
but can't extract the date from the string, same error no matter what I do. Other dates work fine.
The Folder on my SAN has had ALL the permissions stripped from it. I do not know how this happened it just has. The users do not have FULL control, but they have managed to break the permission and deny everyone access. This is not important as I have restored the data to a new folder.
I just want toDelete this folder e.g. N:\Folder One
I cannot delete, take ownership, change this in any way I have tried EVERYTHING. So now I just want to get rid of it. I have tried so manyPower Shell commands and options to reset the ACL, change owner, you name it I have tried. can anyone tell me how toDELETEthis folder when I have not access to it and all is does is report access denied.
THANK YOU!!!!Hi All,
I have Windows 10 1809 and the RSAT tools are now feature on demand. No problem.
Except I run an elevated PS prompt and I get access denied when I try to run get-windowscapability or add-windowscapability
I tried all the suggestions here:
http://woshub.com/install-rsat-feature-windows-10-powershell/
But there is nothing coming up about access denied. Other commandlets work OK and I have local admin rights on my machine.
Anyone have any light to shed on this please?
Thanks Tom.
This issue lies between PowerShell and the .Net framework. (I think)
My goal is to list the files in a directory on an FTP server.
I am working with the .Net FtpWebRequest object. I can connect to the FTP server, build the FtpWebRequest object, using the ListDirectoryDetails method and its related .StreamReader object.
My problem is that the StreamReader only contains information for one file, one string entry, rather than an array of strings, one for each file in the target directory.
Following is the PowerShell line invoking the GetResponseStream method. It runs without error, as mentioned, but doesn't return all expected data.
[System.IO.StreamReader]$oStreamReaderL = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader($Response.GetResponseStream() )
If I use simple C# console app, running against the same FTP server, the response stream contains all the expected file data.
I'm executing the following PS script to retrieve a registry value from multiple remote servers and append the response to a CSV file hosted on the server running the script. Script content is as follows:
Import-Csv E:\XXX\XXX\XXXXXXX\ServersList.csv -Header 'ComputerName' | ForEach {
Invoke-Command -Computername $_.ComputerName `
-ScriptBlock {
Get-ItemProperty `
-Path "HKLM:Software\Wow6432Node\XXXXX\XXXX\XXXXX\XXXXXX\TEST" `
-Name "State" |
Select-Object @{N="Server";E={$env:COMPUTERNAME}}, PSChildName, State |
Export-Csv -Path "\\LocalServer\E\XXXXX\XXXXX\XXXXXX\LOG\RegistryValues.log" -Force -NoTypeInformation -Append
}
}
The registry value is logged in the CSV correctly for the local server, but an execution against a remote server always results in an Access Denied:FileOpenFailure error message.
All file and share permissions are verified as correct as far as I can tell.
Any pointers greatly appreciated!
