please excuse my in-experience. im spending lots of time working with powershell and im learning a lot. im in the process of creating scripts in sapien powershell studio. im learning how to do things in powershell and learning that doing it the GUI front end of the powershell studio can sometimes require a different approach with the PowerShell scripting. all good stuff for sure...again.. im learning a lot.
I understand people are busy, and I have no problem with reading and researching... but im having difficulty finding what I need due to not using correct terminology in my searches., so then I end up reading a lot of stuff.. although informative.. not helpful to my current adventure.
from the aspect of powershell (not the sapien powershell studio.. which im really liking by the way )what search terms (or suggested web sites some of you may be aware of), would I use for the following situation.
I have a cvs file which consists of pc name and mac addresses. I want to be able to type in a computer name(assign it to a variable if required) and then also assign the corresponding mac address and assign that to a variable and then perform a wake on lan function with the mac address variable. I have seen numerous scripts on the wol functions and im sure that will be my next roadblock.
I am doing this to learn as much as possible, and also perform a needed function. and then the next level of learning will be me converting this to work in the sapien powershell environment so that a gui can be created that will perform this function at the click of a button.
just point me in the right direction... all suggestions appreciated.
