Every once in a while I’m asked how to deploy PowerShell in the enterprise, and my answer is always: “It depends”. - It depends on the target machine’s operating system, the PowerShell version you want to install, and if you already have a deployment mechanism.

Powershell to append to an OOO that is already set
Hello,
I'm somewhat new to PowerShell. I know how to Get and Set MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration. What I need is a script that can Get the OOO and then Add additional text to it. If one isn't set, then just add "I'm no longer working here"
I know it's along the lines of Get-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration, If already set, then Export Username and OOO Message. Else Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration "I'm no longer working for XYZ Company"
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance!

PowerShell: New-Password Function
OK, so I’ve been off the grid for a while now. But that doesn’t mean I’ve not been busy. Quite the opposite in fact. I’ve taken a year out from work on paternity with my baby Son. During this time, I did a lot of training in my lab developing new skills and solidifying other more fundamental skills. I’ve also passed a couple of certified exams and have built a new lab from a new HP Micro-server that I juiced up. I’m currently planning to take the MCSA: Server 2012 R2 exam and have been training in my lab and doing a lot of PowerShell DSC based automation. Hopefully I’ll be able to share some if not all of this knowledge and experience soon. I thought it best to return with a simple post so here goes.

Add users into AD Security Group
I need to add from a list of users to an AD security group.
I now work in a new company and no one know PowerShell (I'm so alone)
I've google and have come up with the script below.
My CSV will have a header called "SamAccountName" and the user ID's below it.
Here are my questions.
1. If the person is already a member, will the script continue to work? If not how do I make it continue?
2. How can I capture errors and send them to a file
3. How can I capture successful adds to the group and send them to a separate file (preferred if not it can be the same as with the errors)
4. How can I capture statements indicating the user is already a member of the group
5. The script currently will show users added, however, will is show errors on the screen?
6. Any suggestions to improve the script?
*******Code*******
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$adGroup = "MyADGroup"
Import-Csv "C:\Scripts\Users.csv" | ForEach-Object {
$samAccountName = $_."samAccountName"
Add-ADGroupMember $adGroup $samAccountName;
Write-Host "- "$samAccountName" added to "$adGroup
}
Thank you

LastLogonDate not reporting correct information
I have this code that works.
$machine = (Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=acme_workstations,dc=acme,dc=org").Name
$objs = foreach ($pc in $machine)
{Get-ADComputer $pc -Properties LastLogonDate | select name, LastLogonDate} $objs | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Path "C:\temp\LastReboot.csv"
I read this about LastLogonDate: Powershell was nice enough to give us a third option to query by. LastLogonDate is a converted version of LastLogontimestamp. He was technically right. It’s not a replicated attribute. Instead, it’s a locally calculated value of the replicated value. Most importantly, it gives us the ability to query using human friendly date formats!! (taken from this web page: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/22461.understanding-the-ad-account-attributes-lastlogon-lastlogontimestamp-and-lastlogondate.aspx)
So I looked at my LastReboot.csv file. I looked at machines that had a LastLogonDate of today, 5/6/2015. Now, we have GPO that runs a PowerShell script and this script will write to the registry. I spot checked many of the machines that have a LastLogonDate of today and half did have the registry keys created by the PowerShell script but half did not. So on the machines that did not have the registry keys I wrote ran this script against each.
$pc = Read-Host "Enter the machine name"
Get-WmiObject win32_operatingsystem -ComputerName $pc | select csname, @{LABEL='LastBootUpTime';EXPRESSION={$_.ConverttoDateTime($_.lastbootuptime)}}
The lastbootuptime is not today on all of the machines I checked. why? How come LastLogonDate is not accurate? Or should I be using a different AD attribute?

Email notification
Hi everyone ,
I have been trying to follow the blog on this site to send emails to multiple users with no Success. I hope someone could offer me some advice on how to change my scripts.
Currently have email notification working fine for 1 user with this script:
#############################################################################
# Add function to send e-mail
#############################################################################
Function Send-Email([String] $smtpServer, [String] $from, [String] $to, [String] $subject, [String] $body, [String] $userName, [String] $password)
{
if ($userName.Length > 0 ) {
$credential=New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential -argumentList $userName,$password
Send-MailMessage -From $from -To $to -Subject $subject -Body $body -SmtpServer $smtpServer -Credential $credential
}
else
{
Send-MailMessage -From $from -To $to -Subject $subject -Body $body -SmtpServer
$smtpServer
}
}
and define SMTP details here.
###########################################
# Define the default SMTP server
###########################################
$smtpServer="10.xxx.xx.01"
$fromAddress="yyyyy.pppppp.com"
$toAddress="xxxxxx.tttttt.com"
$smtpUserName=""
$smtpPassword=""
Would really appreciate any advice on how to change the above to allow me to send to multiple addresses. As I mentioned I have tried amending the script my self with 100% failure so far. :-(
Many thanks everyone.

Functions within start-job scriptblock
I'm working on a process to archive (7zip) eventlogs that are archived to a network share. I'm doing this because we are required to keep a year's worth of logs and as we upgrade systems to 2012, the amount of data increases.
For instance, a year ago, our domain controllers generated 5-6 80MB security eventlogs each day. Now, there are over 40 192MB files for each. We've already had to expand our SAN storage - eventlogs alone take almost 5TB.
I digress....
To start with, I create a queue:
$queue=[System.Collections.Queue]::Synchronized( (New-Object System.Collections.Queue) )
Then add to it:
gci \\Server\EventArchive -include archive-security* -recurse|?{$_.lastwritetime -le (get-date).adddays(-305)|group-object {$_.directory},{$_.lastwritetime.year},{$_.lastwritetime.month},{$_.lastwritetime.day}
The 'where' clause is just to limit the number of files to process while I'm working on it.
My script - that works if I run it as ".\archive-logs.ps1 $queue.dequeue()" is:
Param($item)
$folder=$item.values[0].fullname
$server=$item.values[0].name
$year=$item.values[1].tostring()
$month=$item.values[2].tostring().padleft(2).replace(" ","0")
$day=$item.values[3].tostring().padleft(2).replace(" ","0")
$files=@($item.group.fullname)
c:\7zip\7z.exe a -stl -mx9 -sdel -ms=off "$($folder)\$($server)_Security_$($year)$($month)$($day).7z" @files
If I run this in a background job, it seems that it loses where the files are. In the job results, I get access denied errors point to "My Music" and other folders under my profile.
Where might this be reverting to looking in my profile? I've tried using:
Start-job -filepath c:\powershell\archive-logs.ps1 -argumentlist $queue.dequeue()
Start-job -scriptblock {[code from script]} -argumentlist $queue.dequeue()
Start-Job -initializationscript {$variable containing code from script} -scriptblock {$variable} -argumentlist......
Results are all the same. It's obviously a scoping problem, but I'm having trouble narrowing it down. For what it's worth, when defined as a function I use function global:archive-logs.....

not reading corrent OU
I am trying to find out the last time machines rebooted by reading the local WMI of machines in select OUs. I have this code:
$machine = (Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=24 Carrol,dc=Acme,dc=org").Name
foreach($pc in $machine) {
Get-WmiObject win32_operatingsystem -ComputerName $pc | select csname, @{LABEL='LastBootUpTime';EXPRESSION={$_.ConverttoDateTime($_.lastbootuptime)}}
}
24 Carrol is a sub-OU under Acme_Workstations. There are many other sub-OUs under Acme_Workstations as well. OU-24 Carrol has 7 machines within it. When I run the above code it returns information about computers in a totally different OU and in fact does not return any data about machines in 24 Carrol. Why on earth would it do that?
I then tried just this code
$machine = (Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=24 Carrol,dc=Acme,dc=org").Name
$machine
and it also fails. it is reading an OU called '1355 Rowland" so I thought it had something to do with 1 coming before 2 (1355 vs 24) but we have other OUs with lower numbers like 1100 Rowland and it is not reading those.
Is our AD jacked up?

Need help reporting errors in a column on a CSV file
Running a script that queries servers for Network info.
Currently the script suppresses errors. I would like to report the errors and include them in the CSV file.
The end goal is a csv like this:
CN IP Address Subnet Mask Error
Server1 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
Server2 Access Denied
Server3 10.10.15.5 255.255.255.0
Server4 RPC Server is unavailable
My first attempt was to add a Write-Warning but that didn't work out so well. I need to add another object for the Error column but the output of the Write-Warning "Error occurred: $_" gave me 5 columns of info (IsFilter, StartPosition, File, Attributes, Module)
Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.
Script:
[cmdletbinding()]
param (
[parameter(ValueFromPipeline=$true,ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true)]
[string[]]$ComputerName = $env:computername
)
begin {}
process {
foreach ($Computer in $ComputerName) {
if(Test-Connection -ComputerName $Computer -Count 1 -ea 0) {
Try
{
$Networks = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -ComputerName $Computer -ErrorAction Stop | ? {$_.IPEnabled}
}
Catch {
Write-Warning "Error occurred: $_"

Weekend Scripter: Using PowerShell to Replace STSADM
Just like many other Microsoft server applications, SharePoint has had a fair number of command-line interfaces for administrating the product. STSADM.exe was one of these command line tools. Since SharePoint 2010, Windows PowerShell has become the preferred command-line administration tool. However, there are certain instances where Windows PowerShell does not provide an exact replacement for tools such as STSADM.exe. In this post, we will explore one such command (enumallwebs) and attempt to replace that functionality with a Windows PowerShell script.
