I have  Windows 2008 Server with some GZ type files in a folder. I would like to script unzipping them using Powershell, can someone tell me if this is possible and how I would do it?

The folder is d:\data_files\ and I'd like to uncompress all the .gz files in there

I've searched around on the Net but can't find much that deals with GZ files specifically. The files are all named data-1.gz, data-2.gz etc

windows 8 PowerShell script for disabling ALL USB devices "USB power management" under device manager

I work for a company that uses Windows8 as a base platform for it's application.  We're having issues with touch screen randomly losing touch for no reason at all with the ACER touch screens.

We've been able to isolate some of the problems to ACER touch screen itself not being compatible with the USB power management feature built in to Windows.

For our Win7 I was able to use the below Powershell script to disable all of the USB devices Power management without having to go through each USB device in device manager.

$hubs = Get-WmiObject Win32_USBHub
$powerMgmt = Get-WmiObject MSPower_DeviceEnable -Namespace root\wmi | where {$_.InstanceName.Contains($hubs.PNPDeviceID)}

foreach ($p in $powerMgmt)
{
    $p.Enable = $False
    $p.psbase.Put()
}

This same script however doesn't work for Windows8.  Any one know how to modify the script above to make it work on Windows8??

Thanks!

Add-Computer cmdlet does not prompt for password when running over SSH

Hello,

I need to join computer into domain. Add-Computer cmdlet does not prompt for password when I am running from text-based terminal. I am connected over SSH to remote computer. How can I force powershell/cmdlet to ask for password?

My steps:

1. I connect to remote computer over SSH (using Putty),
2. Then start powershell.exe in the terminal on remote computer,
3. Then run Add-Computer* cmdlet, but powershell does NOT prompt for domain admin password.

*Add-Computer -DomainName 'mydomain' -Credential adminlogin

When I connect through remote desktop and run the same cmdlet, it asks me for the password. I want the same behaviour when I am in pure text mode.

Thanks!

I am struggling with this simple script to find those without the keyword "Dean", "Instructor", or "Professor", etc. in the Description, but I ended up getting everyone. What's wrong?

Does anyone know how to filter down GetMac's results to only show connected network adapters?

GetMac seems to return two columns: Physical Address, Transport Name

So far I have:

$results = GetMac | Format-Table -AutoSize

I'd like to apply the filter of:

IF "Transport Name" has the word "disconnected" (case insensitive) in it.

All my attempts have failed :(

Powershell output from Get-ItemProperty - VersionDetails property of file does not correlate with version when browsing through GUI.

Hi,

Recently we needed to get the version of mpio.sys one of our servers.

I used Get-ItemProperty in Powershell to get the version, but when we browsed to the mpio.sys file in Explorer and looked at the Details tab, the values did not correlate with the values I got from Powershell. I am 100% certain that the path included in the Powershell command was correct. Can anyone provide an explanation of why this can occur?

Script For .NetFramework 4.7.2 GPO installation

I'm trying to push .net framework 4.7.2 to some domain pcs using a logon script through GPO.

Clients are Windows 7 SP1 x86 machines and the server is Windows 2008 R2 Std

i''m using a .ps1 script with the following command:

Start-Process -FilePath \\sharepath\NDP472-KB4054530-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe -ArgumentList "/q /norestart"  -Wait -Verb RunAs

I then add it as a logon script in GP under User Configuration - Windows Settings - Scripts -> logon (In powershell Scripts Tab)

When the user logs in, the script runs fine, but because of the fact that my users don't have administrative privileges, the UAC window pops up and requires admin rights.

Is there a way to add a command in the script to run using one of the domain admins account or any admin account so as to install the software with admin rights?

Windows Form, have button return to disabled if text box is empty?

New to forms here :).... I'm trying to have my validate button return to disabled (grayed out) when the text box goes from having text to no text. I can get this work initially when the text box is empty. Below is my code as well as a screen shot of the form. I've come this far with method 'add_TextChanged'. Top Pic: no text in text box so validate button is disabled (grayed out). Middle Pic: text box has text so validate button is enabled. Bottom Pic: text in text box has been deleted, but validate button remains enabled. 

$Form = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form.Text = "Validate Name"
$Form.Width = 420
$Form.Height = 130
$Form.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"

$LabelFolder = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$LabelFolder.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,10) 
$LabelFolder.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(90,15) 
$LabelFolder.Text = "Folder Name:"
$LabelFolder.BackColor = $Color
$Form.Controls.Add($LabelFolder)

$ButtonFolderVal = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$ButtonFolderVal.Enabled = $false
$ButtonFolderVal.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(320,10)
$ButtonFolderVal.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(60,22)
$ButtonFolderVal.Text = "Validate"
$ButtonFolderVal.Add_Click({Validate})
$Form.Controls.Add($ButtonFolderVal)

Function Validate
{
	$Form.Controls.Remove($LabelValRes)
	$LabelValRes = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
	$LabelValRes.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,40) 
	$LabelValRes.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(200,15) 
	
	if ($TextBoxFolder.Text -eq "Something Valid")
	{
		$LabelValRes.Text = "$($TextBoxFolder.Text) is valid"
	}
	else
	{
		$LabelValRes.Text = "$($TextBoxFolder.Text) is not valid"
	}

	$Form.Controls.Add($LabelValRes)
}

$TextBoxFolder = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox 
$TextBoxFolder.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(110,10) 
$TextBoxFolder.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(200,15)
$TextBoxFolder.add_TextChanged({$ButtonFolderVal.Enabled = $true})
$Form.Controls.Add($TextBoxFolder)

$Form.ShowDialog()

Filtering on NoteProperty

March 15, 2015, 4:10 pm

Hello,

I need to filter on a particular class’ (i.e. Management Server) property (i.e.IsGateway), but am being returned an empty collection:

$objManagementServerClass = Get-SCOMClass -DisplayName "Management Server"

$colManagementServers = Get-SCOMClassInstance -Class $objManagementServerClass | Where-Object {$_.IsGateway -eq $false}

When I perform a Get-Member on the class, I see that the property in question (i.e.IsGateway), is not your regular Property type, but rather a “NoteProperty”, and that it is inherited, as can be seen here:

[Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthService].IsGateway                                    NoteProperty

How do I filter on this “property”?

Thanks,

Larry

I've been scratching my head all afternoon on this one . I want to delete archived personal certificates from the cert store identifying by issuer. The following works great for non-archived certificates,

Get-ChildItem Cert:\CurrentUser\My  | ?{ $_.Issuer -eq 'exactIssuerName' } | Remove-Item

but I cannot find a way to target and remove archived certificates in the same store.

Any ideas?

How to add value in JSON Array using PowerShell

How do I add value to the following JSON under Resource

{
"Sid": "AmazonS3Access",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::123",
"arn:aws:s3:::123/*",
"arn:aws:s3:::456*",
"arn:aws:s3:::456/*"
]
}

My target is to add following two value

"arn:aws:s3:::789*"
"arn:aws:s3:::789/*"

I have tried Add after importing JSON using ConvertFrom-Json, but didn't work.

$ImpJSON.Resource.Add(""arn:aws:s3:::789*"")

Note: JSON format is fixed, as you can see it is AWS IAM policy, but all the values are variable, so, it should be dynamic.

Any idea?
