How do you import a scheduled task to a subFolder?

The following script works to import scheduled tasks to the root of the task scheduler, but fails when trying to import to a subfolder.

# Script to import scheduled tasks into new server after being exported from old server
$task_path = ".\*.xml"
$task_user = "lnidaptumptf11\TaskUser"
$task_pass = "mypassword"

$sch = New-Object -ComObject("Schedule.Service")
$sch.connect("localhost")
$folder = $sch.GetFolder("\")
Get-Item $task_path | %{
 $task_name = $_.Name.Replace('.xml', '')
 $task_xml = Get-Content $_.FullName
  $task = $sch.NewTask($null)
  $task.XmlText = $task_xml
  $folder.RegisterTaskDefinition($task_name, $task, 6, $task_user, $task_pass, 1, $null)
}

To see the error, insert these three lines in place of the line: $folder = $sch.GetFolder("\"):

$root = $sch.GetFolder("\")
$root.CreateFolder("sub")
$folder = $sch.GetFolder("\sub")

The sub folder gets created and everything works up to the RegisterTaskDefinition, which gets: Exception calling "RegisterTaskDefinition" with "7" argument(s): "The specified path is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700A1)" even though $folder.Path has a value of "\sub"

Any ideas on how to get around this would be appreciated.

Remove all groups from one user

I need a Powershell script using native or Quest cmdlets to remove ALL groups from a user in AD. Now here's the catch, the user is a member of groups from 3 different trusted domains in a single forest. I can get a script to remove groups from the domain the user resides in but it fails on removing the groups from the other domains. Any suggestions? I see this is can be an issue when a user is a member of cross-domain groups but have not found a solution yet.

Detect smart files that are "online only"?

Is there a way to enumerate all files in a tree where the availability attribute is "online only"?  I have an issue where a directory that was symbolicly linked in skydrive ended up with a bunch of duplicate files.  I've removed the symlinks, and have a handle on how to clean up the duplicates, but other than looking at the column in explorer, I can't figure out whether a file is a real "offline" file, or just a placeholder for skydrive.  Is there a definitive way to check in a PS script?

hi

I have to run some powershell command in remote Azure VM, from my local machine. I can do it in interactive mode, using enter-possession.

But I want to achieve this from a C# code. I tried creating remote runspace as mentioned at -http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee706560(v=vs.85).aspx,using WSManConnectionInfo , but runspace.Open is failing. If I use

AuthenticationMechanism.Basic - it fails with message "The WinRM client cannot process the request. Unencrypted traffic is currently disabled in the client configuration"

For other enum it fails "The following error with errorcode 0x80090311 occurred while using Kerberos authentication: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request"

Any pointers, on how to execute Remote Powersehll call from C# code.

My Azure VM have 2 scenario. One VM is in workgroup and second VM is in Active Directory (created in Azure Virtual network).

Help with Reading XML file

Hey guys,

I am trying to read a XML file from PowerShell and store the data into an array/variable from the tags of the XML.

Here is the XML content.

<?xml version="1.0"?><configuration><URLS><add key="URL0" value="http://server1/index.html" active="True"></add><add key="URL1" value="http://server2/index.html" active="False"></add><add key="URL1" value="http://server2/index.html" active="False"></add><add key="URL3" value="http://server3/index.html" active="False"></add></URLS></configuration>

Here is my PowerShell script and the Output.

$URLS = [xml](Get-Content 'C:\PowerShell Scripts\In-Development\Get-ServiceRegistry\test.xml')
$URLS.configuration.URLS.add[0]
$URLS.configuration.URLS.add[1]
$URLS.configuration.URLS.add[2]
$URLS.configuration.URLS.add[3]


Now, if I modify the XML to this and Run the below PowerShell, I do not get any output. Any Idea why?

<?xml version="1.0"?><configuration><URLS><add key="URL0" value="http://server1/index.html" active="True"></add></URLS></configuration>
$URLS = [xml](Get-Content 'C:\PowerShell Scripts\In-Development\Get-ServiceRegistry\test.xml')

Is it possible to do multiple where statements such as {$_.ProcessName -eq "'NotePad.exe','paint.exe','winlogon.exe','excel.exe'"}.  I have tried this it failed.  What is the proper way to querymuliple servers for multiple processes?  I am looking for ideas as I am a little unsure of how to go about the script.

Ip address comparsion from a text file

I am writing a script to get the Ip addresses for the multiple servers and save it as an array and have a condition to compare it with the IP address saved in the text file and if they match print out the result as pass or fail.

But Its checking one server Ip address with all other IP addresses from the text file not each server IP with only one IP.

For example:-

localhost ip address is 127.0.0.1

Ip.txt = 127.0.0.1, 12.34.56.23, 1.2.4.5

THe output should be

Server   Ip address from the server  Ip address from txt  Result

--------   ---------------------------------   ------------------------   -------

localhost 127.0.0.1                            127.0.0.1                   Pass

dont want the extra IPS in text file to be displayed.

Here is the code.

#$global:Servers = get-content "Server.txt"
$Servers = "localhost"
Function IPAddress($Server)
{
	Try
	{
		$Ip=""	
		$TextIps = "10.0.0.1","10.2.2.4"
        $IpCheck=Test-Connection -Computername $Server -count 1 -ErrorAction Stop | Select IPV4Address
        $Ip=$IpCheck.IPV4Address
		$Ips = "$Ip $Ip "
		Foreach ($Line in $TextIps)
        {   
            $Line = $Line.Trim()
            If($Line.Length -gt 0)
            { 
                If($Ips.Contains($Line))
                {
                   return($Server, $Ip, "$Line", "Pass")
                }
                Else
                {
                   return ($Server, $Ip,"$Line", "Fail")
                }  
           }
		}
	}
	Catch
	{
		return ($Server, "Invalid Output","Invalid Output", "Fail")
	}
}

Foreach ($Srvr in $Servers)
{
   $Ip = IPAddress($Srvr)
   write-output "The server is - $Ip[0]"
   write-output "The actual IP is - $Ip[1]"
   write-output "The IP from text file is - $Ip[2]"
}


I get the output as 

The server is - localhost 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.1 fail[0]
The actual IP is - localhost 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.1 fail[1]
The IP from text file is - localhost 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.1 fail[2]
The result is - localhost 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.1 fail[3]

But i want the output as

Server - localhost

actual IP - 127.0.0.1

IP from text file - 10.0.0.1

Result  - Pass/Fail

Read in specific line numbers from a text file (very large 1.5GB) using PowerShell

Hi all,

I have a large file (a text file) which is over 1.5GB in size. 

I need to read in specific line numbers from the file, I have a list of exact line numbers I wish to read.

If I use "get-content" to read in all the contents, PowerShell consumes 1.3GB in memory then crashes out.  I don't have enough memory to cope with using get-content to read in all the contents.

Is there any way of doing the following:

       $entry = get %linenumber% from %filename%

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Does any encrypted password in a text file expire?

December 6, 2013, 7:14 am
$

I know this sounds crazy, but I have an encrypted password in a file that works for a while then suddenly stops and I have to recreate the file.  And no, the account password itself has not changed.  Is the encrypted PW  based on some timer, for example like when the machine password in the domain changes?

Here is my code to create the file:

$SecurePassword = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter password for PowerShell account" -AsSecureString
$SecureStringAsPlainText = $SecurePassword | ConvertFrom-SecureString
$SecureStringAsPlainText | Out-File ".\PW.txt" -Encoding ASCII

I can then use the that password file (for an account I specify in another script) for weeks without problem.  Then suddenly it fails to work.  I get this error:

ConvertTo-SecureString : Key not valid for use in specified state.

I am using the same account to run the script that I used to create the PW file - so that is not the problem.  The only way to fix this is to recreate the PW file, using the same exact password I used to create it the previous time.  In other words - nothing has changed that I know of.  Same password, same account name, etc.  So I am wondering, is there something on the machine I run the script from that is used to encrypt the PW with, and that "something" changes every couple of months?

My guess is the machine domain account password changes and this breaks the encrypted PW file. Am I right?

Thanks
