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!
Like help with a script to update Exchange Online ( 360 ) User properties fields so when we open Outlook Contacts all fieilds are populated.

Hi, I am trying to create a script that will create an Address List based on all Users in an Organizational Unit. Each user is external to out organization - meaning they have a logon like user.name@ourdomain.com but have an email address but it is not at ourdomain.com.
I did find a way to create an Address List and have tried multiple different RecipientFilters. I have tried things like
Set-AddressList -Identity "\External Users" -RecipientFilter {$_.EmailAddress -notlike "*mydomain.com*"}< Not sure if this syntax is correct but you get the idea.
The latest attempt consisted of creating a distribution group and adding a single user to it. Then setting the address list with MemberOfGroup.
$group = $(get-distributionGroup ExternalDistribution).DistinguishedName
Set-AddressList -Identity "\External Users" -RecipientFilter "MemberOfGroup -like '$group'"
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Michael
Hello all,
I've been working on this for a good part of the day and I can't get it to work exactly as it is supposed to. Perhaps I'm overlooking something.
Here is the scenario:
I am working on a new version of a user management script and I make use of one of the seldom used attributes (CarLicense) for holding information.
I was looking to keep a count of how many times a user is disabled by populating it with "DisableCount:#".
I get the current value using $prevdisablecount=(get-aduser SmithJA -property carlicense).carlicense -match "DisableCount"
This will give me a string like "DisableCount:1"
I can then say $updcount=($disablecount -split ":")[0]+1
$disablecount="DisableCount:$($updcount)" - This should be something like "DisableCount:2".
Here is the problem: When I use set-aduser -identity SmithJA -replace @{carlicense=$($prevdisablecount),$($disablecount)}, it adds the value instead of replacing.
It does the same whether I specify the variables in the set-aduser cmdlet either as $($__), "$___" or $___
It seems it's not able to translate the strings. I can -remove and -add the same values, but I should be able to use -Replace.
Hi, does anyone have a script that can get local printer on remote desktops and filter out OneNote and Document writer
Thanks in advance
I have created a custom resource 'SyncShare' and I can get it to run with expected results if I copy the resource folder to the modulepath on the target node. However, if I try to combine copying that resource to the target and applying it in a single configuration ( see below), the LCM on the target says that the resource isn't in the psmodulepath –despite the fact that I have used the 'DependsOn' property to ensure that the directory exists. In fact, the custom resource is not respecting the dependsOn property at all, since I find that it is always being evaluated before the file resource that would make that resource available. See this configuration fragment:
File Resource_SyncShare
{
Type = "Directory"
DestinationPath = $Node.ResourceRootPath+"\SyncShare"
SourcePath = $Node.ResourceSourcePath+"\SyncShare"
Ensure = "Present"
MatchSource = $True
Recurse = $True
Force = $True
Credential = $Credential
Checksum = "modifiedDate"
}
SyncShare Tools
{
Name = "Tools"
SourceDirectory = $Node.ToolsDirSourcePath
DestinationDirectory = $Node.ToolsDirDestinationPath
ChecksumFileName = "sync.checksum"
Ensure = "Present"
DependsOn = "[File]Resource_SyncShare"
}
Dear sirs
I'm building a powershell GUI application that has multyiple textboxes and comboboxes. I need to export the content of them to a csv, I created a hashtable and tried to export them to csv but it's not working

time to admit defeat and post on the forum..
($RoomsAndMember.Users).Split(";")
seemed to work for all but the last command:
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity $RoomsAndMember.Alias -User ($RoomsAndMember.Users).Split(";") -AccessRights FullAccess
it gets the below error:

convert the "System.Collections.ArrayList" value of type "System.Collections.ArrayList" to type
"Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.SecurityPrincipalIdParameter".

Ive done some googling and some people have mentioned Loops to fix this issue but I haven't figured out how to apply any of the scripts to my situation.
Full script below, I have copied other people scripts, haven't yet found a way to find the time to pick up a PS book and study the fundamentals:
$ExchangeSession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://SERVERNAME/powershell
Import-PSSession $ExchangeSession
Set-Location "C:\DATA\OneDrive\Work\Tech_Support\Scripts\Exchange - Create Exchange Room Add members"
$ExcelWB = new-object -comobject excel.application

$Workbook.SaveAs("C:\DATA\OneDrive\Work\Tech_Support\Scripts\Exchange - Create Exchange Room Add members\RoomsAndMembers.csv",6)
$Workbook.Close($false)
$ExcelWB.quit()
$RoomsAndMembers = import-csv .\RoomsAndMembers.csv
ForEach ($RoomsAndMember in $RoomsAndMembers) {

Start-Sleep 5
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity $RoomsAndMember.Alias -User ($RoomsAndMember.Users).Split(";") -AccessRights FullAccess
}
Thank you very much in advance :) even pointing me to an explanation will suffice hopefully :)
Hi powerShell,
$fileList = dir 'H:\aa.txt','H:\bb.txt'
$newExtension = ".CSV"
$CsvFile = ""
$(foreach ($file in $fileList){
$CsvFile = ((join-path $file.DirectoryName $file.BaseName) + $newExtension)
$CsvFile
})
the output:
H:\aa.CSV
H:\bb.CSV
I want to display output look like this as below:

I finally have some 2008 r2 servers that I get to use the Active Directory module cmdlets on. Strange thing though, when I run Get-ADGroupMember on the Administrator group, I get this error:
An operations error occurred,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.GetADGroupMember
I see a few other people say they have experienced this online, but no one gets to why. Most of the time, the people responding try it and they don't have a problem. It works fine with any other group, it just fails with the Administrator group.
I can get what I need like this:
([ADSI]'LDAP://CN=Administrators,CN=Builtin,DC=Domain,DC=COM').member
but that doesn't really answer my question about what the problem is.
Hello,
The below issue is not happening all the time. Only on parallel execution of this command as xml from service now orchestrator. Even in parallel execution, only at times the error occurs.
We are facing local stack error when using the below commands.
$Domains=Get-ADForest| select -ExpandProperty Domains;
foreach($Domain in $Domains) {
$User1=get-aduser $UserName -Server "$Domain";
}
How to resolve ?
Good Morning Everyone,
I have a list of email addresses that I compare against our O365 tenant, if they exist I write-host telling me, if they do not exist I write-host telling me they do not.
What I would like to do is export the comparison to CSV file: in column A I would like the email address that was compared and in column B I would like to know whether the email address exists or not.
Would I need to create a custom ps object or hash-table? 
I have not really got much experience with creating custom output for a CSV file.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

This is the situation:
I work on a workstation (Windows 7) and want to perform an action on a server (Server 2008 R2).
The workstation is called MyWks01 and the server is called MyServer01.
Both machines are members of the same domain and I am logged on with domain admin credentials on the workstation.
UAC is disabled on the server.
I have a command prompt open as administrator and open a Powershell session.
The final aim is to perform Windows updates by executing a scriptblock remotely.
To test part of the solutiopn I perform following action:
-----------------------------------
RemoteServer = New-PSSession -ComputerName MyServer01
$Script = {
$session = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Session
$Downloader = $session.CreateUpdateDownLoader()
}
Invoke-Command -Session $RemoteServer -ScriptBlock $Script
-----------------------------------
This gives following error:
-----------------------------------
Exception calling "CreateUpdateDownloader" with "0" argument(s): "Access is
denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))"
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComMethodTargetInvocation
+ PSComputerName : MyServer01
-----------------------------------
If I replace $script with the following block:
$Script = {Get-ChildItem c:\Temp}
then everything works correctly (I get a list of files in the c:\Temp directory of the server)
Apparently it is the CreateUpdateDownloader() that poses a particuar problem, anyone any ideas?
BTW: CreateUpdateInstaller() has the same problem, on the other hand Windows.UpdateSearcher with the Search("IsAssigned=1" and IsInstalled=0) methods does work.
Hi
I am attempting to run a command with parameters remotely but have spent days trying to find the right format for the parameters. I have used PowerShell for a while but am new to remoting. The command that I am trying to execute is MySQL.exe –uFred –ppassword –e “create database IP_Addresslist”; where –u is the user, -p is the password and –e specifies the mysql command to run (in quotes).
I have tried many combinations including the one shown below but with no success.
$MySQLuser="-uFred "
$MySQLPW="-ppassword "
$MySQLcmd="-e `"create database IP_Addresslist`";"
invoke-Command -ComputerName SERVER1 -ScriptBlock {"\\SERVER1\c$\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysql.exe " $using:MySQLuser,$using:MySQLPW,$using:MySQLcmd }
This particular command gives the following error message.
At E:\Programming\Powershell\Scripts\remote programming exercise.ps1:14 char:119 + ... Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysql.exe " $using:MySQLuser,$using: ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unexpected token '$using:MySQLuser' in expression or statement. + CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnexpectedToken Does anybody have an idea of where I’m going wrong, or is there an easier way of achieving this? Thanks
Hi
I have a script that is supposed to copy a certificate for each server(certs are by name) and import it to each server and then set the rdp listener to use that certificate(instead of the default)
something like this:
$certsLocation="c:\temp"
$servernames
=Get-ChildItem$certsLocation|selectname|%{$_.name.Split("{.}") |select-First1}
ForEach
($serverin$servernames) {
if
(!(Test-Path\\$server\c$\certs)){New-Item-typedirectory-Path\\$server\c$\certs}
Copy-Item
-Path$certsLocation\$server.PFX-Destination\\$server\c$\certs-Force
$data
=Invoke-Command-ScriptBlock {Import-PfxCertificate–FilePathC:\certs\'$($server)+".PFX"'cert:\localMachine\my-Password (ConvertTo-SecureString-String"1234"-AsPlainText-Force)} -ComputerName$server $thumbprint
=$data.Thumbprint
$path= (Get-WmiObject-computeradfs1-class"Win32_TSGeneralSetting"-Namespaceroot\cimv2\terminalservices-Filter"TerminalName='RDP-tcp'").__path
Set-WmiInstance
-Path$path-argument @{SSLCertificateSHA1Hash=$thumbprint
}
}
so far good
it seem to break here:
$data=Invoke-Command-ScriptBlock {Import-PfxCertificate–FilePathC:\certs\'$($server)+".PFX"'cert:\localMachine\my-Password (ConvertTo-SecureString-String"1234"-AsPlainText-Force)} -ComputerName$server
and specifically I think here:
C:\certs\'$($server)+".PFX"'
The system cannot find the path specified. 0x80070003 (WIN32: 3 ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND
now if I test this using the actual computer name it works no problem
for example:
=Invoke-Command-ScriptBlock {Import-PfxCertificate–FilePathC:\certs\server1.PFXcert:\localMachine\my-Password (ConvertTo-SecureString-String"1234"-AsPlainText-Force)} -ComputerName server1
so im guessing its either that combination with foreach loop or the name of the cert isn't being constructed right from comning server name and .PFX extension
anyway, any help would be appreciated
Thanks
