<p>I want to get a specific list of users, who disabled, and not presented from specific OU
I have a PSH string, but it is not working correctly
Get-ADUser -Filter * | Where-Object {$_.Disabled -eq $true} | -SearchBase "OU=Disabled,DC=TEST,DC=TEST" | Select-Object SAMAccountName,EmployeeNumber | Export-Csv -Path C:\disabled.csv -NoTypeInformationHowever my problem is the script only capture the error details if the errors occurs outside the while loop. If there is an error while the code is looping, the error variable is empty and unfortunately all the errors occur withing the loop.
This is the code I have. Apart from the above, everything works fine. Any suggestions or answers?

The below 2 line code at the end of this message does a filter on only *.msi files (there will only be one in the directory, so not worried about multiple *.msi files) to the specified path to only return the name of the *.msi file to a message box and no other information.
One one device it works fine and on the other it gets this error message below. I did a search on the Internet, but I did not find anything specific to this error message:
Get-ChildItem : Cannot call method. The provider does not support the use of filters.
At line:1 char:20

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotImplemented: (:) [Get-ChildItem], PSNotSupportedException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NotSupported,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand
Here is the 2 line code that gets the file name and then sends that output to a message box:
$GetFileNameOnly = Get-ChildItem -filter *.msi -Path \\server_name\share_name –Name [System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show($GetFileNameOnly)
Hello,<o:p></o:p>
I'm using JumpCloud powershell module for exporting command results.
I'm trying to format powershell result but unable to export all columns.
>get-jccommandresult -byid 5c7fe06eba87c603cb1ddf4a | select name, command, system, output | format-table -wrap -autosize <o:p></o:p>
This works perfectly fine, but i'm only selecting specific jccommandresult and i want to export all jccommandresults without filtering by id. But when I export, the “output” column is blank. I’m not sure if it is because of the output column format in the result displayed.
Below are the commands that I tried but couldn’t get “output” column result in exported file.
(I want the result to be in table format so that I can filter it by name and system so I didn’t use format-list. Also, I read somewhere that format-table wont work with export-csv but I tried that too.)
get-jccommandresult | Select name,command,system,output,_id | export-csv -path C:\Users\abc\Documents\JCcmdres.csv -append
get-jccommandresult | select name, command, system,output,_id | format-table -wrap -autosize |out-file -filepath C:\Users\abc\Documents\JCcmdres.csv -width 4096 -append
get-jccommandresult | select name, command, system,output,_id | Out-GridView
get-jccommandresult | Select name,output,system |convertto-csv -notypeinformation | out-file -filepath C:\Users\abc\Documents\JCcmdres.csv -width 4096 -append
Hello Ladies & Gentlemen,
I have a powershell script, which runs absolutely fine when I run with ISE.
When I schedule the script. It runs and fails. I am not able to figure out why the script is failing when run as schedule job.
I see the following error in the transcript logs. Although it says username and password is incorrect, it doesn't make much sense as the it's the same user under which I run script when using ISE.

Hi Guys,
I really hope that someone did this or that someone knows how to do it. I am in process of automating server deployment and I am using DSC to install roles and to configure servers. No problem there. But before doing it I need to install windows server OS first and that is soemthing I want to avoid. I know that we can use diffrerencing disks for this but I want to fresh install OS with DSC for every VM not to use parent disk. Is it possible to use DSC to install new VM and to install windwos server on it?
Hi
I m new to scripting. I working on script to to add domain member to local Admin account and remove it automatically after a certain period of time. After referring posts online i could able to add or remove accounts from a machine. I don't have programming skill and i stuck up with the step 3
Step are like
1. Get Input
$DomainName = "xxxxx" #Read-Host -Prompt "Domain name:"
$ComputerName = Read-Host -Prompt "Computer name:"
$UserName = Read-Host -Prompt "User name:"
while(1){
Try{
$d = [datetime](read-host 'Enter any valid valid date/time')
break
}
Catch{
Write-Host 'Not a valid date' -fore red
}
}
$AdminGroup = [ADSI]"WinNT://$ComputerName/Administrators,group"
$User = [ADSI]"WinNT://$DomainName/$UserName,user"
2. Add the user account to local admin group
$AdminGroup.add($User.Path)
3. Create a PS file on the local machine and update it with command to remove the account
Connect-PSSession -ComputerName $ComputerName
New-Item -ItemType "directory" -Path "\\$ComputerName\c$\temp"
New-Item -ItemType "file" -Path "\\$ComputerName\c$\temp\test.ps1"
Add-Content \\$ComputerName\c$\temp\test.ps1 "$AdminGroup.remove($User.Path)"
4. Add the created Script file on the Task Scheduler to run it automatically
$Trigger= New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -At $d.ToString('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')
$PSUser= "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" # Specify the account to run the script
$Action= New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "PowerShell.exe" -Argument "C:\Temp\test.ps1"
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "Local Account removal" -Trigger $Trigger -User $PSUser -Action $Action -RunLevel Highest –Force
Exit-PSSession
The output at the step 3 was not as expect . the file it getting updated as
" System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.remove(System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Path) "
Instead of Local admin group and the user account.
Could anyone please suggest me a solution to automated it with proper output. Or a different way to derive it ?
I m not sure how the step 4 will work
I get this error when I try to run scripts in PowerShell. These scripts run fine in the command window.

Hello everyone, i have been attacked multiple times by a DDos and was wondering how to get into my DNSserverrrl through powershell. I really have no understanding on how to access it and would like to learn. When i try to run the command it gives me this error. I am running Powershell(Administrator) 5.1 on Windows 10.

Help me, Micro-Soft Kenobi... you're my only hope.
Im trying to send emails thru Outlook 2016 using Powershell with the following code:
$Outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
foreach ($account in $Outlook.Application.Session.Accounts)
{
if ($account.UserName -eq "accountusername")
{
$thisaccount=$account
}
}
$Mail = $Outlook.CreateItem(0)
$Mail.SendUsingAccount=$thisaccount
$Mail.To = "destination@emaildomain.com"
$Mail.Subject = "a subject"
$Mail.HTMLBody = "i am message<br /><br />"
$Mail.Send()
It still sends it thru the default account. Both accounts are Exchange added accounts. In the client, manually, I can send email from both accounts so it is not a permissions issue.
Why isnt it working?
I have 500000 .eml files that needs to be converted to .msg file and save in local folder.
I want to know if we have any powershell command to do so?
Or any other efficient method to achieve this??(C#)
PS: Dont want to use third party converters.
I just dont know how to get power shells command not found message gone
CMD line: c\USER\Desktop\Flash>"".exe "".rom unlock

Hi Team,
I has made a script that delete the ost file at logoff, if it grows up to 50GB.
I have a lot of Outlooks 2010 clients with 2 Exchange accounts ... there are some circunstances in wich the users move mails / folders between the both accounts, close Outlook, force to Windows logoff and the emails get lost .. there aren't in any account.
I have looked on Office Object Model but couldn't find a way to check if all OSTs are synchronized with the Exchange...
So, anyone knows how to check if an OST file is full synchronized with the Exchange? Powershell script prefered.
Checking this GUI's item on the script could work:
Many thanks guys!
What's the best way to track execution policy changes on a server? One of the engineers on my team inadvertently changed the execution policy on a production server to Restricted which caused a whole bunch of tasks to fail. I spent hours trying to figure out who did it but none of the event logs on the server are showing who did it and when.

Is it possible to add code to an object that will execute when an object is created?
Class FirstClass
{ [string]$Name
[string]$Property1
[string]$Property2
$t=@()
$r= new-object -type PSObject
class
{
[string]$a
[string[]]$b
}
$c =get-adgroupmember -recrisive $team| select SamAccountName
$c.b = $c.SamAccountName
$c.a="dummy"
$t += $c
$r | add-member -name 'c' -type noteproperty -value $t
$r| convertto-json | out-file -filepath .\xyz.json -NOClobber -force
