Hi, guys, 

I'm quite new in powershell scripting. I'm trying to use powershell to analysis some text based log (such as internal network access log).

I saw some object related examples for powershell, for me, it most likely comes from command, not programing.

I'm wondering if I can create a complex object with multi class member in power shell, for example:

Object
|
 ---User
     |
      --- Name
      --- BudgeNo
      --- Department
           |
            ---Manager
                |
                 ---Phone
                 ---Email
           |
            ---hotline
|
 ----Access URL
      |
       ---Good Site
       ---Bad Site

...

So, if I try to check object.access.badsite, and got some finding,  I can just return data like object.user.name/object.user.department.hotline/object.user.manager/object.user.department.manager.phone

...

Is it possible? If so, how could I add a sub-member?

Thanks very much for your help and guide in advance.

I am trying to build a simple gui form that has some buttons.  So far the buttons I have created I would like to hide until the tab that they are on is clicked.  Everything is working and this code is still a work in progress.  I would like to keep comments about the code to just the situation about the buttons please.

Hi Team,

I'm checking the multiple server performance output. But the export csv output only showing last server performance details. Could you please verify below script  and share the valuable information how to fix this issue.

$Result=Get-Counter -Counter "\\$server\$ObjectName($InstanceName)\$CounterName"

    $CounterSamples = $Result | % {$_.CounterSamples}

    $MasterArray = @()
 
    ForEach($CounterSample in $CounterSamples)
    {
        $TempArray = @()
        $TempArray = "" | Select Server, ObjectName, CounterName, InstanceName, SampleValue, DateTime

        $Split = $CounterSample.Path.Remove(0,2)
        $Split = $Split.Split("\")

        $TempArray.Server = $Split[0]
        $TempArray.ObjectName = $Split[1].Split("(")[0]

I'm trying to get information from a security log.  This is what I have so far:

$EDate = Get-EventLog -LogName Security -InstanceId 4732 -Newest 1 -computername $PC | select-object timegenerated

This gives me the data I need, but when I export this data in .csv this is a sample of the output I get:

@{TimeGenerated=11/24/2014 8:45:26 AM}

Is there a way I can just get the date and time without the "@{TimeGenerated=" ???

I've tried using {$_.Split("`n")[1].Trim().replace("@{TimeGenerated","")} but haven't had any luck on getting commands like this to work. 

Hi Team,

Hello,

I'm having trouble exporting out the contacts to a .csv file. I have a UNC share created with the Exchange trusted subsystem with full control on the share and the ntfs permissions. I can do the export to .pst but I need it in csv format and am not sure how to first convert to string and then export the file to csv.

Help appreciated. Thank you

I m tying to upload and download files from IIS server using BITS-Tansfer commandlets. my BITS jobs are getting queued but they are not completing even after explicitly resuming them.

I have configured IIS ,where i have enabled BITS-IIS server extention for client upload.

tried downloading file from server with powershell commandlet as

Start-BitsTransfer -Asynchronous -Priority High -TransferType Download -Source http://myweb/vdir/validity.txt -Destination C:\ -Authentication Basic -Credential SERVER12\Administrator -ProxyBypass 169.254.71.160:80 -ProxyUsage Override -ProxyList 169.254.71.160:80

Both upload and download are not working. when i opened this IIs website from another computer from same domain and tried download files there using BITS, it shows jobstatus "Transferred"...bt it is not downloading data...atleast i m not able to see the data in destination i have given. 

Hi Mr.Experts,

I need the script to create a log file that will show the whole process and errors if occurred.

how do I do this ? Please find the below script.

$CounterSamples = $Result | % {$_.CounterSamples}

#Splitting the get-counter output to the desired format

ForEach($CounterSample in $CounterSamples)
{
$TempArray = @()

Hi

I have been tasked with obtaining all our Active Directory OU's that allow users access to our shared drives. These OU's have a user in the managedby field.

Im very new to Powershell so please bear with my coding which I did below. It does a job for me but please point out if I have done anything wrong or I could do better.

There are 2 things that I would like to add

1 - Get the script to loop through all OU's rather than name them at the top individually eg Shared Admin

2 - Use the Managedby email of the person who looks after the OU

*********************************************

Import-Module ActiveDirectory -Force

"Shared Admin" |

foreach {

 $group = Get-ADGroup -Identity $_ -Properties ManagedBy

Get-ADGroupMember -Identity $_ |

 select @{N='GroupName'; E={$group.Name}},

 @{N='ManagedBy'; E={$group.ManagedBY}},

 Name, samAccountName | 

 Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Path  "$($group.Name).csv"

 }

$file += "c:\AD\$($group.Name).csv"

Send-MailMessage -smtpServer emailserver.domain.local -to "Me <me@domain.co.uk>", "You <you@domain.co.uk>" -from "Admin <admin@domain.co.uk>" -subject "Shared Drive Information for $($group.Name)" -Attachments $file -body "Hi. 

The attchment below shows you all the people who have access to the share you look after $($group.Name)

Regards

Server Admin Team"

Thanks in Advance

Environment variables contain important pieces of information about the system. For example, the SystemRoot environment variable tells you the Windows OS installation path (e.g., C:\Windows) and the Path environment variable lists the directories that Windows will search for executable programs and DLL files.

Hi All,  New to PowerShell and still learning BIG TIME! 

Playing with Get-PSDrive... I do set-location hklm:  browse to the registry key - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\OLE - and then do a get-childitem ... my question is this:
When I do get-childitem I see all of the "folders" under the above KEY but not the "local" entries that are directly in that key.  I was researching an error I am seeing  (RPC Server unavailable) and it asks  that we modify - value: EnableDCOM
If I open REGEDIT I see that value, but thought I would use PowerShell to do this work and find it strange that while I can see AppCompat, Eventlog, Extensions "Folders".....  I do not see the value EndableDCOM.. Should I be using something other than get-childitem?

Specifically, what I want to do is determine the value of SSLFlags, especially SSLRequireCert.

On servers which have an applicationhost.config file at \\server\admin$\system32\inetsrv\config, I can access it using something like:

[xml]$config=gc  \\server\admin$\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationhost.config

$config.configuration."system.webserver".security.access

or

$config.configuration.location[1]."system.webserver".security.access

I haven't figured out how to change the value in brackets to identify each site.

When I try to access information via WMI, it will work if I'm logged into the server, but not remotely.  When trying to do it remotely, I get an access denied.  If PSRemoting is the only answer, I may be out of luck because of network policies here.

Thanks,

If I check individually, it works.  If I call the functions I created, in the same pass, only the first returns info.

For instance:

Function Get-Shares
{
 param($box)
 $shares=gwmi win32_share -computername $box -erroraction silentlycontinue|?{$_.path -like "*\"}|Select @{n="FullPath";e={"\\{0}\{1}" -f $_.pscomputername,$_.name}}
 "Shares:"
 $shares
}

Function Get-Profiles
{
param($box)
 $reg=[Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey('LocalMachine',$box)
 $regkey=$reg.opensubkey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\ProfileList")
 $profiledir=$regkey.getvalue("profilesdirectory")
 $profilepath="\\$box\$profiledir" -replace ":","$"
 $profiles=gci $profilepath -Exclude "Public"|?{$_.psiscontainer}|%{$_.fullname}|%{get-item "$_\ntuser.dat" -force}|select fullname
 "Profiles:"
 $profiles
}

Foreach ($box in gc .\online.txt)
{
 Get-Shares $box
 Get-Profiles $box
{

will list the shares, but not profiles.  And vice-versa if reversed.

If I set $box to one of the machine names and type Get-Shares $box (or just enter the machine name), it works.  Similarly, the same happens with Get-Profiles $box/machine name.

Any idea why this might happen?  It's kind of puzzling.

I am trying to run this function to the runt he following function to enable the agents in bamboo

function Enable-Agent([array]$agents){

    $agents | %{

        write-host "enabling agent name: $_"

        $id = Get-AgentId $_

        write-host "agent id: $id"

        $enableAgentUrl = $bambooServer + "/admin/agent/enableAgent.action?agentId=" + $id + "&" + $bambooAuthentication

        $html = Invoke-WebRequest $enableAgentUrl

    }

}

I get the following error: 

Invoke-WebRequest : The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

At C:\SVN_Working\development\projects\infrastructure\bamboo\trunk\common\power

shell\bambooAgentFunctions.ps1:118 char:17

    + $html = Invoke-WebRequest $enableAgentUrl

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-WebRequest], WebException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand

This works fine for one of my teammates. Just errors out for me. Am I missing any setting here? I am very new to Powershell. Appreciate any help here. Thanks,

I am writing a script that will monitor 5 services on a Windows 2008 server.   I was told by our server tech that sometimes that one of these five services can be "hung" yet in services.msc still show as "running".   So I did a get-help get-service -examples and under example 8 it says the following.

This command shows that when you sort services in ascending order by the value of their Status property, stopped services appear before running services. This happens because the value of Status is an enumeration, in which "Stopped" has a value of "1", and "Running" has a value of 4.

I have this in my script:   $result1 = (Get-Service "ILEDataInterfaceLayer" -ComputerName $Server).status   $result1 will contain "Running" or "Stopped" but how do I capture the "1" or "4" they speak of in the help example?

Using this:

$site = Get-SPSite "http://contoso.comsites/Todd"

I am able to get this:

Title                                                                                                      

-----                                                                                                      

Todd       

I want to just take the "Todd"  and use it in the filename when outputting to CSV.

This is my script:

 #Add the SharePoint Powershell SnapIn

 Add-PSSnapin microsoft.sharepoint.powershell -EA 0 

 #Edit the URL below for the specific site collection you wish to extract alerts from

 $site = Get-SPSite "http://contoso.rjf.com/sites/Todd"

 $TitleString = Get-SPSite $site | Get-SPWeb -Limit All | Select Title 

 $alertResultsCollection = @()   

 foreach ($web in $site.AllWebs) {     

 foreach ($alert in $web.Alerts){   

 $alertURL = $web.URL + "/" + $alert.ListUrl   

 $alertResult = New-Object PSObject   

 $alertResult | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name "List URL"        -value $alertURL  

 $alertResult | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name "Alert Title"        -value $alert.Title 

 $alertResult | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name "Alert Type"       -value $alert.AlertType 

 $alertResult | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name "Subscribed User"       -value $alert.User  

 $alertResultsCollection += $alertResult  

  }  

   } 

   $site.Dispose()  

   $alertResultsCollection  

$Path = "F:\"

$Prefix = $TitleString

$Suffix = "_SiteAlerts"

$FileExt = ".csv"

 ## Export to CSV  

 $alertResultsCollection | Export-CSV ($path + $Prefix + $Suffix + $FileExt) 

What this does is give me a filename as "@{Title=Todd}_SiteAlerts.csv"

How do I get it to just give me Todd_SiteAlerts.csv?
PS.....not a big fan of  the $path + $Prefix + $Suffx + $FileExt either. 

Hi,

Hello, I am new to powershell and mostly get my scripts by hunting down different links and piecing together what I want. I just received an excel sheet of bulk userIDs where I have to uncheck the option:

"deny this user permission to log on to remote session host server" to enable RDP for them. 

I am at the basic level so I understand set-aduser, Please help.
