Select-Object worked the same inside and outside a % loop?!
I'm a bit mystified by a powershell output - it seems to have done what I meant, not what I said:
First I loaded up a list of firstname/lastname lines from a CSV:
$rlist = import-csv -path "c:\work\rlist.csv"
Then I wasn't paying attention to where I put the "select" and placed it inside a loop:
PS AD:\> $rlist | % {>> $first = $_.first>> $last = $_.last>> get-aduser -filter { givenname -eq $first -and surname -eq $last } | select samaccountname, name, enabled>> }which somehow gave me one line of headers, and several lines of samaccountame, name, enabled as I wanted, but didn't expect.
as a sanity check, I tried the following, which gave the same output:
PS AD:\> $rlist | % {>> $first = $_.first>> $last = $_.last>> get-aduser -filter { givenname -eq $first -and surname -eq $last }>> } | select samaccountname, name, enabledI've read other forum posts exhorting PowerShell users to make sure the select-object is outside any loops to avoid duplicate headers, so I'm mystified how the first one did NOT duplicate headers?

Remotely enable PSRemoting
Hi guys,
So, the scripting world is new to me but I’m trying to get a handle on it, and hope that you can help me.
I’m working in a mixed environment; our domain contains XP clients and 2008R2 servers. All client computers have PS 2.0 installed.
I want to be able to work with PSRemoting on other client computers. Of course I have Admin privileges and I ran the commands as admin.
My problem is that I can't enable remoting through Group Policy. Our organization is really big and changing GPO will take forever because of IT policies and different approvals.
Right now we have a few jobs we really need to execute and can’t wait till GPO changes are done.
So actually, I’m looking for a way to enable remoting on remote machines in our domain. When I logon interactively to a machine and enable PSReomting, I’m able to work remotly on this machine after that. But I can't find a way to remotely enable PSReomting.
I’ve tried to enable thewinrm service through cmd, and then with PS, like this:
SC\\server start winrm
Then, from PS:
foreach ($i in 'Computer') { Enable-PSRemoting -Force }
Then I ranwinrm quickconfig, and the result was:
WinRM already is set up to receive requests on this machine
WinRM already is set up for remote management on this machine
After performing these steps, I tried remoting and got this error:
"Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message: access is denied. for more info...."
I went through every step in About_Remote_Troubleshooting but found nothing.
After googling for hours I found nothing.
Also, does anyone know if PS Active Directory module is available for XP? After some searching it looks like XP doesn’t support this module, but just to make sure.
Thank youJ

Powershell parses %SystemRoot% variable from registry key retrieved by Get-ItemProperty
Hi,
I try to set a path variable in an offline WinPE image. Therefor I mount the image and load the offline hive into my registry unter "HKLM\winpe". I try to retrieve the path value from "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\winpe\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment" with the following command:
(Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\winpe\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment" -Name "Path").Pat
The value of the variable "path" in the registry is
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
But when I load it into a powershell variable it is
C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
which is of course not correct, because the Windows PE system is in "X:\Windows". Therefor I need the string with not parsed variables. Has somebody a idea on how to achieve this?
I need this because I want to append some stuff and need to concatenate the existing content with my content and then write it back to the registry.
Thanks, bye.

Get-Printer -Computername does not work
I have created a script for creating print queues on multiple print servers. I have used it a lot but now it doesn't work anymore.
It turns out that when running the script towards print server 1, get-printer -computername goes in some kind of no response and never returns a list of printers and never stops with an error.
The funny thing is that there is no problem when running get-wmiobject win32_printer -computername or if I run get-printer from enter-pssession. When I log directly on print server 1 i can also use get-printer without any problem.
Does anyone knows what the problem is?

Powershell - How to list Disk Activity Files column from Resource Monitor
Hello!
I'm trying to view the File column from the Disk Activity section of Resource Monitor. I've looked through several different pages of explanations on displaying Disk Activity information but nothing ever covers the File column. The different WMI classes people
have used to get Disk Activity information are Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfDisk_LogicalDisk, Win32_PerfRawData_PerfDisk_LogicalDisk, Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfDisk_PhysicalDisk, and Win32_PerfRawData_PerfDisk_PhysicalDisk. I've explored these classes and
can't find where I'd retrieve the File column info.
The different websites and blogs seem to provide all the Disk Activity information but never the File column or address why the File column information isn't provided. Is it even possible to access this information from Powershell? The screenshot below reflects the information I'm trying to gather. Thanks for the help!
So in Powershell, I imagine it'd look something like this:
Image PID File

System 4 C:\ProgramData\CentraStage\...

DSC register agent forbidden
Hi Guys
I need some help with my DSC error when I run following command to apply DSC config.
Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager -Path LCM -Verbose
The output is this:
Registration of the Dsc Agent with the server https://dscpull.mydomain.com:8080/PSDSCPullServer.svc failed.
The underlying error is: The attempt to register Dsc Agent with AgentId '2B96C0D8-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX'
with the server ... returned unexpected response code Forbidden.
Firewall is not blocking and url of pull server is reachable from browser.
The RegistrationKey is in the local MOF file under LCM folder.
Other Clients are okey with the same pull server and analog config.
Any ideas?
Kind Regards

Do While loop User existing
Hi,
I'm trying to run a script to create a new user in Active Directory by using Do While loop.
I have a var called $alias that its value is the Alias/SamAccountName of the user now i'd like to use a loop that will use the var $alias that i already have to search for an existing samaccountname then eventually to replace the var $alias with a new samaccount
name that doesn't exist.
For example:
$alias = John
$filter = "Get-ADUser -Filter {SamAccountName -eq $Alias}"
Do
{
$filter
}
while (Read-Host "User $alias exist type new alias" -OutVariable alias)I know the example is totally wrong but you got the point.
Thanks in advance.

Registry Recurse - Finding and changing a d-word subkey
I'm trying to find a way in PowerShell where I can change the "RoamingPreferredBandType" key located in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\
The tricky part is that we're looking through several different laptop models and this key is located in different subkeys of the hive. For example:
One laptop model the "RoamingPreferredBandType" is located in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0001]
whereas another is located in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0002]
I'm looking for a way to recurse through this subset of keys regardless of where it is located to change the "RoamingPreferredBandType" key.

Powershell is not recognizing functions within the script
in Script Build.ps1 I have a Function RunFolder defined on line 132
In ISe I can Type RunFolder and Intelisence will show me the parameters
When I run Build.ps1 when it gets to the call on line 207 which is in a second Function RunBuild
> RunBuild $Database $user $pass
>> RunFolder -ScriptPath $fp -cdb $db -user $user -pass $pass
>>> RunScript -ScriptFile $file.fullname $cdb $user $pass
I now get the error "RunFolder.ps1' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program."
This is a Change to the Behavior of powershell.
Is this a change in managing SCOPE and I can't call one function from another function from within the same PS1?

$disk = @()
Foreach($pci in $computernames){
IF(Test-Connection -ComputerName $pci -Quiet) {
$rr = Get-WmiObject win32_logicaldisk -ComputerName $pci -filter "DeviceID='C:'"
$rr |select PSComputerName, DeviceID, @{n="Size (GB)";e={[math]::Round($_.Size/1GB,2)}},@{n="FreeSpace (GB)";e={[math]::Round($_.FreeSpace/1GB,2)}}
}
Else {
$MemberObject = New-Object System.Object
$MemberObject | Add-Member -Name PCName -Value $pci -MemberType NoteProperty
