I get a csv file where I need to strip out the header. I have scripted the stripping out of the header successfully, but when it is done it moves all the data to column A because it is defaulting to unicode text when it saves. I am not having any success
opening the csv, stripping out the header, and then saving it as a CSV in my scripting. Any ideas?

Meaning of powershell script script that uses $variable.Id
I am new to Powershell and Azure and I am trying to understand the scripts I have been written. The scripts are pretty standard in that they build up the contents of variables and then execute them SO to understand what is happening I am trying to recreate what the command line will look like at the bottom of thre script
New-AzureRMVM -VM $MyVM -ResourceGroupName $rg -Location $region
Working back up the scripts and replacing the variables with their contents.
for example:
$vNic = New-AzureRmNetworkInterface -Name $nicName -ResourceGroupName $rg -Location $region -Subnet $subnet
the vNic variable is later seen here:
$MyVM = Add-AzureRmVMNetworkInterface -VM $MyVM -Id $vNic.Id
What purpose is the .Id suffix? I have seen it elsewhere.
Also is there a way to run a powershell script in debug mode to see the resolve variables bit not execute

HELP!! Newbie is stuck
Hi guys,
I've googled this as much as i can handle and without going cap in hand to the resident powershell gurus (who are insanely busy), i need help please.
We have setup many groups (900+) with the group scope of Domain Local, instead of Global. I know we can powershell them into universal groups, then into global groups, but i would like to pull all the groups into a .CSV and then run the command to convert from there.
How do i get a list of all groups with a specific naming convention, that have a specific Group scope out into the CSV?
e.g - GL_
Domain local

Active Directory Account Expiration Notification to Managers
Active Directory Account Expiration Notification to Managers
Hello script gurus - I wanted to send an automatic email notification to managers pertaining to their contractors that has an end date on their AD accounts. The script that I found had most of the features I'm looking for. However need assistance on how to add the following into the script.
- Add additional message into the body of the email.
- Exclude the "past" expired accounts from the report.
When the report runs it sends the email to managers just fine however, we've noticed that it is including the ones that are already expired. We want to only send the ones that are expiring within 30 days from this date forward.
Here's the script I found referenced in this forum:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/9d080c24-b2a2-4d9b-b50b-ca7fb9d95a91/account-expiration-email-notification?forum=winserverpowershell&prof=required

escaping single quotes inside a variable
I am currently using scom to execute a powershell command which passes the scom alert description into the script. the alert description variable in scom has to be surrounded by single quotes to pass over however the containing string also contains single quotes so is being cut short.
anyone have any suggestions on how I can get powershell to ignore the single quotes inside the string ?
command being used is "C:\SCOM\Scripts\syslogcreateevent.ps1" '$Data/Context/DataItem/AlertDescription$'
with the string variable being Alarm event description: testing single ' quotes'

How to run several batch files in parallel and wait for them all to complete before continuing - with arguments

$scripts = 'c:\j1.bat', 'c:\j2.bat','c:\j3.bat'$scripts |%{ Start-Job –scriptblock (iex "[Scriptblock] { & '$_' }") } | wait-job
However, i would like to send arguments to the same batch file.
e.g.
$scripts = 'c:\j.bat 1', 'c:\j.bat 2','c:\j.bat 3'
$scripts |%{ Start-Job –scriptblock (iex "[Scriptblock] { & '$_' }") } | wait-job
Is there an argument to pass an argument? When i run above it fails.

Deleting folders that are empty or only contain text files - cannot figure out why this doesn't work
The titles pretty much says it- I want to delete folders in a path that are empty or only have text files. I've played around with a bunch of variations, but cannot figure out why they don't work. The problem is they delete folders with a subfolder with files in it.
