Hi...all

I installed SQL Server 2008 Dev edition on XP sp3.(It Installs WPS)

I am very much new to PS..I started testing my Installation.

For example, I typed Get-PS and press the Tab key , 
the following cmdlets are appearing

Get-PSDrive
Get-PSProvider
Get-PSSnapin

But It suppose to show below list 

❑ Get-PSBreakpoint
❑ Get-PSCallStack
❑ Get-PSDrive
❑ Get-PSProvider
❑ Get-PSSession
❑ Get-PSSessionConfiguration
❑ Get-PSSnapin

Why some other cmdlets are missing...Help me how to resolve and how check the Present version of WPS.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Guys,

Hoping someone can help. Following an online course and part of it is to create a user with powershell. I've got so far with it and have fallen at the final hurdle it seems. Here is the code:

# import active directory module
Import-Module ActiveDirectory

# store users first name into variable 
$firstname = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your first name"
$lastname = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your last name"
$password = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your password"

# Output the users information
echo "your full name is $firstname $lastname. Your password is $password"

# Specify where to store the user account
$OUpath = "OU=Powershell Users,DC=itflee,DC=com"

# Convert the Password to a secure string
$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString $password - AsPlainText -Force

# Create the user account
New-ADUser -Name "$firstname $lastname" -GivenName "$firstname" -Surname "$lastname" -UserPrincipalName "$firstname.$lastname" -Path $OUpath -AccountPassword $securePassword -ChangePasswordAtLogon $true -Enabled $true

Yet this fails! initially I thought it was the PW I was using wasn't complex enough however I tried a crazy stupid one on my screenshot examples to prove a point.

Can anyone advise me where I'm going wrong? 

Thanks!

I have a add-type which is written in C#

When I a call function directly it retains the type.

$Var = [MyLibrary.Utils]::SomeFunction()

$Var.GetType()  returns [MyLibrary.SomeCollection] That's good and it works.

But when I go through a powershell function it does not work

Function Get-Data {
   $V = [MyLibrary.Utils]::SomeFunction()
   return $V
}

$Var = Get-Data
$Var.GetType  returns [System.Object[]]

I have tried casting it.

Function Get-Data {  [OutputType([MyLibrary.MyCollection])]  Param ()
  $V = [MyLibrary.Utils]::SomeFunction()
  return $V
}
$Var = Get-Data
$Var.GetType  still returns [System.Object[]]

And finally I cast it on both sides of the call.

Function Get-Data {
  [OutputType([MyLibrary.MyCollection])]
  Param ()
  $V = [MyLibrary.Utils]::SomeFunction()
  return $V
}
[MyLibrary.MyCollection]$Var = Get-Data

That throws an error 

Cannot convert the "System.Object[]" value of type "System.Object[]" to type "MyLibrary.MyCollection"

I have the following script that gets objects from another scripts and converts it to a pscustomobject

& ".\script1.ps1" -ViewConnection "$cinput" -OutVariable xprtOut | Format-Table -Wrap

#converting xprtOut from Arraylist to pscustomobject to be used with ConvertTo-HTMLTable
$Arr = @()
foreach ($Object in $xprtOut) {
    $i = -1
    $arrayListCount = -($Object | gm | Where-Object {$_.MemberType -like "noteproperty"}).Count

    $customObj = New-Object PSCustomObject
    do {
        $customObj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name (($Object | gm)[$($i)].Name) -Value ($Object."$(($Object | gm)[$($i)].Name)")
        $i--
    } while ($i -ge $arrayListCount)

    $Arr += $customObj
}

it works great and all but i notice the ordering of the objects changes. how can i preserve the ordering in the function?

i am trying the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42300930/8397835

$Arr += [pscustomobject]$customObj

but that doesnt work. i tried placing the cast elsewhere in the function and gave out errors.

The ordered attribute can be specified only on a hash literal node.

i guess i am not sure where am i supposed to place the [ordered] or [pscutomobject] in the function since in my case i dont have @ symbol

I'm using below query for download but i got below error can you please suggest me how to resolve this issue.

Query:

(new-object -comobject "microsoft.update.session").CreateUpdateDownloader()

Error:

Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

Windows 10 Pro with Shared Computer 

Several users logging into a Shared PC with User switching and leaving applications open

I'm using this to find out who is NOT quitting out of programs.

Hi!

I've configured PowerShell Remoting on the server using Enable-PSRemoting commandlet.

But when I'm trying to connect to the server I'm constantly getting the following error:

PS C:\Users\sergeyp> Enter-PSSession SERVERNAME.DOMAINNAME.com
Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server SERVERNAME.DOMAINNAME.com failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot process the request. The following error
with errorcode 0x80090322 occurred while using Kerberos authentication: An unknown security error occurred.
 Possible causes are:
  -The user name or password specified are invalid.
  -Kerberos is used when no authentication method and no user name are specified.
  -Kerberos accepts domain user names, but not local user names.
  -The Service Principal Name (SPN) for the remote computer name and port does not exist.
  -The client and remote computers are in different domains and there is no trust between the two domains.
 After checking for the above issues, try the following:
  -Check the Event Viewer for events related to authentication.
  -Change the authentication method; add the destination computer to the WinRM TrustedHosts configuration setting or use HTTPS transport.
 Note that computers in the TrustedHosts list might not be authenticated.
   -For more information about WinRM configuration, run the following command: winrm help config. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
At line:1 char:1+ Enter-PSSession SERVERNAME.DOMAINNAME.com+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (SERVERNAME.DOMAINNAME.com:String) [Enter-PSSession], PSRemotingTransportException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CreateRemoteRunspaceFailed

Also, in the System event log on a client computer I see the Security-Kerberos error described here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/52ddf7d9-a0e7-4c9d-be3c-3c35219f2d69.aspx

Error details:

Log Name:      System
Source:        Microsoft-Windows-Security-Kerberos
Date:          2/22/2013 1:42:39 PM
Event ID:      4
Task Category: None
Level:         Error
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Computer:      ...
Description:
The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server
SERVERNAME$. The target name used was HTTP/SERVERNAME.DOMAINNAME.com.
This indicates that the target server failed to decrypt the ticket
provided by the client. This can occur when the target server principal
name (SPN) is registered on an account other than the account the target
service is using. Please ensure that the target SPN is registered on,
and only registered on, the account used by the server. This error can
also happen when the target service is using a different password for
the target service account than what the Kerberos Key Distribution
Center (KDC) has for the target service account. Please ensure that the
service on the server and the KDC are both updated to use the current
password. If the server name is not fully qualified, and the target
domain (DOMAINNAME.COM) is different from the client domain
(DOMAINNAME.COM), check if there are identically named server accounts
in these two domains, or use the fully-qualified name to identify the
server.
...

And... I have identical WinRM configuration on the other server, and it works fine.

I'm using Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 and PowerShell 3.0.

I'm logging in as a domain user.

Both client and server are in the same domain.

The SPN HTTP/SERVERNAME.DOMAINNAME.com doesn't exist, but the corresponding SPN also doesn't exist for the computer on which PS Remoting works fine!

Could somebody help me with identification of this error source, please?

Hi All

Dear Experts

I am trying to find if there is a quick way to nest multiple AD groups( Global Group:GG) within their corresponding Domain Local Groups( DLG)

I would like to feed the data using CSV with columns GG & DLG group names. so GG1 should be nested within DLG1 and so on.

Please advise.

Thanks

Hello Team,

As a project requirement, i need the output of a foreach loop to be saved in a different file. (i.e). If a loop runs 100 times the output of the each instance of loop should be saved in a different file, So that i may get 100 output files.

I do not want to use "append" option, Since this dumps everything into a single file.

Kind Regards

Hi.

I have more than 7 test servers to which I would need to copy files and folders from development server . Once the files are copied, the batch files inside the folder need to be executed.

I am looking for PowerShell script , which can copy folder containing SSIS package files, xml configuration and batch scripts. Copy the folder from one remote desktop server to another ( Dev server to test server ) and execute the batch files without manual intervention. Are there code samples available to achieve this in PowerShell ?

Thanks

Hi all,

I'd like to find a script that will create an RDP connexion to a server1, and from this server1 the script must create another RDP connexion from a server2.

I can't create an RDP connexion to server2 directly because of firewall rules. so i have to pass through server1.

I'd like that when i start my script i'm reaching server2 directly (as if server1 doesn't exist)

I hope i'm clear enough.

Thx for your help.

Hi,
I am wanting to find out how to put the two together. I have the following script for finding users/groups that have access to certain folders.

$project_folder = "\\UNC PATH"
get-acl $project_folder | %{ $_.Access  } | ft -property IdentityReference, AccessControlType, FileSystemRight

and then the following for finding AD Groupmembers with the recursive parameter

Get-ADgroupmember -identity “ADGroupmember” -Recursive | get-aduser -property displayname | select name, displayname >C:\output\Members.txt

How can I put the two together so I get a list of all users/groups by using the first script to list them and then list all the users in that are in any groups to a txt file...

PS - Powershell noob.

Thanks

Hi - I'm just trying to get used to running some basic troubleshooting commands in powershell so wanted to load up the logs. I tried a couple from Event viewer. System I can kind of understand but what about the SECURITY log? Do certain services have to be stopped before running the security log for troubleshooting purposes? 

Thanks in advance

The script works fine replacing from "title" column with "Single line of text" but with Custom Column Name and "Multiple lines of text" it fails?

Hey Guys

On a device that has all Office updates installed, I am using a Powershell script to extract all installed Office updates to Office 2010 Pro.

This puts all the updates in a "Updates" folder, which I then copy into the "Updates" Deployment folder (as well as a oct msp file )

The customisation msp is working fine.

However for some reason during the install it no  longer seems to install the .msp Office updates...as when I check Windows for updates it is pulling down 30 or so updates?

On a side note a lot of them refer to 2016.... which is not installed?...Skype for business 2016 is though.

The original extracted Office ISO was SP1.. which I then slip streamed in SP2, ( which I put into the updates folder)

The results from the Powershell script.... when copying into the folder, I have tried "Overwriting" existing files as well as "Skipping" existing files.... as well as deleting the original SP2 msp's and just putting in the results from the Powershell. export, still no luck though?

Any help would be appreciated...thanks.
