Im hopping im not on the wrong forum.

Iv got an app that requres SQL Express 2014, and SQL Express 2014 requires Powershell V2 to be installed.

All the links that I can find sugest that powershellv2 is depricated and cannot be installed on Windows 2016. The windows2016 iso file doesnt have the powershellv2 sources, so I cant that to specify the soruce files when the add-windowsfeature asks for it.

Is this true or is there a way to install it?

Thanks

Hello Team, 

I need to get the members of each groups for about 50 thousand groups and their recursive groups. 

I have pulled out the list of groups in the csv format using the CSV file need to get the members and their recursive groups with their members. 

I have followed the following code. 

$CSV =import-csv "C:\temp\xx.csv
foreach($groups in $csv)
{
$temp=$($groups.SamAccountName)
Get-AdgroupMembership -identity $groups -recursive|select-object MemberOf| export-csv c:\temp\xy.csv
}

But still i am getting the error. I have tried with the following code too. 

#// Start of script
#// Get year and month for csv export file
$DateTime = Get-Date -f "yyyy-MM"

#// Set CSV file name
$CSVFile = "C:\Temp\AD_Groups"+$DateTime+".csv"

#// Create emy array for CSV data
$CSVOutput = @()

#// Get all AD groups in the domain
$ADGroups = Get-ADGroup -Filter *

#// Set progress bar variables
$i=0
$tot = $ADGroups.count

foreach ($ADGroup in $ADGroups) {
	#// Set up progress bar
	$i++
	$status = "{0:N0}" -f ($i / $tot * 100)
	Write-Progress -Activity "Exporting AD Groups" -status "Processing Group $i of $tot : $status% Completed" -PercentComplete ($i / $tot * 100)

	#// Ensure Members variable is empty
	$Members = ""

	#// Get group members which are also groups and add to string
	$MembersArr = Get-ADGroup -filter {Name -eq $ADGroup.Name} | Get-ADGroupMember | select Name
	if ($MembersArr) {
		foreach ($Member in $MembersArr) {
			$Members = $Members + "," + $Member.Name
		}
		$Members = $Members.Substring(1,($Members.Length) -1)
	}

	#// Set up hash table and add values
	$HashTab = $NULL
	$HashTab = [ordered]@{
		"Name" = $ADGroup.Name"Category" = $ADGroup.GroupCategory"Scope" = $ADGroup.GroupScope"Members" = $Members
	}

	#// Add hash table to CSV data array
	$CSVOutput += New-Object PSObject -Property $HashTab
}

#// Export to CSV files
$CSVOutput | Sort-Object Name | Export-Csv $CSVFile -NoTypeInformation

#// End of script

Hi Guys,

I have a CSV file with usernames (CN-field in AD). Column A starts with CN, then the usernames (or CN's of the users) below.

From the file, i want to use Get-ADuser, see some properties and export this to a new CSV file. This works but one exception: In the input file there are also usernames that are not in AD. In the output file these users are filtered out, so they do not got exported to the new CSV file.

I want these non existing users visible in my new CSV file with all the other users. A message like "User not found in AD" would be likeable.

I am new to (Powershell) scripting, have read multiple forums and tried something like Try-Catch, or If. but i am failing everytime.

Here is my code i'm using:

import-csv H:\Test.csv | 
        ForEach-Object {
            Get-ADUser -Filter "CN -eq '$($_.CN)'" -Properties CN, DisplayName, Description
        } |
    select CN, DisplayName, Description | export-csv H:\Test_out.csv -NoTypeInformation
    H:\Test_out.csv

Can anyone please help me with probably this simple issue? And any improvements on my current file is also appreciated.

Thanks in advance

hi Experts,

I have two domains. Domain A and Domain B. My Target PCs exist in Domain A and the server exists in Domain B. Domain A trusts Domain B.

I am trying to execute few set of cmdlets on my target PCs which are in Domain A from the Server Domain B.

1. Target PCs have already been configured with WinRM including Trusted Hosts Configuration on the listeners.

2. The account I am using has already been added as admin on  the target PCs.

When I execute Test-WSman from the server to target PCs. it works fine with no issues:

wsmid           : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/identity/1/wsmanidentity.xsd
ProtocolVersion : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman.xsd
ProductVendor   : Microsoft Corporation
ProductVersion  : OS: 0.0.0 SP: 0.0 Stack: 3.0

But when I tried this: 

 Test-WSMan -ComputerName "xxxx.domaina.com" -Authentication Kerberos

it fails with this error: 

I did added the SPN HTTP/xxxx.domaina.com and tried again. But No luck.

Here are the SPNs FYI:

The similar scenario I have tested with a different Domain which worked as expected.

Not sure what's missing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards, Siva Kumar Balaguru

Hello!

I am working with an application gateway on Azure and I want to get a table of all listeners including a column for the SslCertificate.

So far, I have stored the listeners in a variable and explored the possibilities with "Get-Member". I can see that a member exists for SslCertificate but I don't know how to make use of that.

I'm fairly new with PowerShell and any guidance will help, including just a link to another post.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm starting to work with xml in powershell and I have stuck with it. My case: I have to inventory workstation/laptops in env that I have windows xp/windows 7 without SP1. I found and tested script in vbs but i got output in xml -  example :

To create reports and diagrams, I have to export it to csv. will be good if I use company sheet for it ( the columns is already predefined). Example:

I try to work with get-content cmdlet and select-xml but I do not have idea for next step.

Can someone guide me how to get final summary based on above example.

I am queuing the Power BI (PBI) REST API to get the refresh history's for datasets on PBI. I'm then pushing the results back into a PBI Push Dataset for use in another report. The plan will then be to use a foreach loop to iterate the requests for every dataset on PBI. This is the script so far;

# Parameters - fill these in before running the script!
# =====================================================

# An easy way to get group and dataset ID is to go to dataset settings and click on the dataset
# that you'd like to refresh. Once you do, the URL in the address bar will show the group ID and 
# dataset ID, in the format: 
# app.powerbi.com/groups/{groupID}/settings/datasets/{datasetID} 

$groupID = "<REDACTED>" # the ID of the group that hosts the dataset. Use "me" if this is your My Workspace
$datasetID = "<REDACTED>" # the ID of the dataset that hosts the dataset

# AAD Client ID
# To get this, go to the following page and follow the steps to provision an app
# https://dev.powerbi.com/apps
# To get the sample to work, ensure that you have the following fields:
# App Type: Native app
# Redirect URL: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
#  Level of access: all dataset APIs
$clientId = "<REDACTED>" 

# End Parameters =======================================

# Calls the Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) to authenticate against AAD
function GetAuthToken
{
       if(-not (Get-Module AzureRm.Profile)) {
         Import-Module AzureRm.Profile
       }
 
       $redirectUri = "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob"
       $resourceAppIdURI = "https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api"
       $authority = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize";
       $authContext = New-Object "Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.AuthenticationContext" -ArgumentList $authority
       $authResult = $authContext.AcquireToken($resourceAppIdURI, $clientId, $redirectUri, "Auto")
       return $authResult
}

# Get the auth token from AAD
$token = GetAuthToken

# Building Rest API header with authorization token
$authHeader = @{
   'Content-Type'='application/json'
   'Authorization'=$token.CreateAuthorizationHeader()
}

# Properly format groups path
$groupsPath = ""
if ($groupID -eq "me") {
    $groupsPath = "myorg"
} else {
    $groupsPath = "myorg/groups/$groupID"
}

# Check the refresh history
$uri = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/$groupsPath/datasets/$datasetID/refreshes"# + '?$top=1'
$refreshHistory = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri –Headers $authHeader –Method GET –Verbose | Select-Object -ExpandProperty value | Select-Object id, refreshType, startTime, endTime, status
# Remove $refreshHistory in final
$refreshHistory

# Push data to Power BI
$endpoint = "https://api.powerbi.com/beta/<REDACTED>/datasets/<REDACTED>/rows?key=<REDACTED>"
$payload = $refreshHistory | ConvertTo-Json
# Remove $payload in final
$payload
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri "$endpoint" -Body $payload

This is an example of the $refreshHistory output;

id          : 595702443
refreshType : Scheduled
startTime   : 2019-03-31T03:00:11.91Z
endTime     : 2019-03-31T03:00:45.883Z
status      : Completed

id          : 594772832
refreshType : Scheduled
startTime   : 2019-03-30T03:02:03.353Z
endTime     : 2019-03-30T03:02:22.937Z
status      : Completed

And $payload;

[
    {"id":  595702443,"refreshType":  "Scheduled","startTime":  "2019-04-16T02:00:05.583Z","endTime":  "2019-03-31T03:00:45.883Z","status":  "Completed"
    },
    {"id":  594772832,"refreshType":  "Scheduled","startTime":  "2019-03-30T03:02:03.353Z","endTime":  "2019-03-30T03:02:22.937Z","status":  "Completed"
    }
]

What I want to do is add in the $datasetID so I can tie the refresh data back to a specific dataset when it comes to using the foreach loop. For example I would like my output for $refreshHistoryand $payload to be like;

id          : 595702443
refreshType : Scheduled
startTime   : 2019-03-31T03:00:11.91Z
endTime     : 2019-03-31T03:00:45.883Z
status      : CompleteddatasetId   : dd3d8631-b7bb-4183-aa01-066852f201f5

id          : 594772832
refreshType : Scheduled
startTime   : 2019-03-30T03:02:03.353Z
endTime     : 2019-03-30T03:02:22.937Z
status      : Completed
datasetId   : 793ec9d8-7efd-4341-a45f-d09217a2e210

[
    {
        "id":  595702443,"refreshType":  "Scheduled","startTime":  "2019-04-16T02:00:05.583Z","endTime":  "2019-03-31T03:00:45.883Z","status":  "Completed","datasetId":  "dd3d8631-b7bb-4183-aa01-066852f201f5"
    },
    {"id":  594772832,"refreshType":  "Scheduled","startTime":  "2019-03-30T03:02:03.353Z","endTime":  "2019-03-30T03:02:22.937Z","status":  "Completed","datasetId":  "793ec9d8-7efd-4341-a45f-d09217a2e210"
    }
]

Is this possible?

I am new to PowerShell, so this may be a stretch for me, but I am hoping with some foundations I can build from there. I have the below basic example of what I wish to achieve;

# Load Assembly

$ExampleForm.Controls.Add($NameLabel)

# Textbox for the user's name
$NameTextBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
$NameTextBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(150,20)

# The input box when clicking the above button
$InputUserBtn.Add_Click({
    $EmployeeID = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox("Enter Employee ID", "Input Employee ID")
})

# Show the form
$ExampleForm.ShowDialog()

I would like help in getting the following to run in 'Runspace' so that the form doesn't come up as '(Not Responding)' with it searching by Employee Number it can take some time.

Get-ADUser -Filter "EmployeeID -eq $EmployeeID"

With that running in the background, when it has completed I'd like it to populate the text boxes with the information it has found.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you. Let me know if you have questions.
