Hello!
I have a small script that will show a pop-up message when I call upon the Function for it. Here is the Function:
Function Tester (){
$dataExtractedFolder = (Get-Location).Path
$result = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::MsgBox("The Report has been placed in $dataExtractedFolder",'OKOnly,SystemModal,Information', 'Report Generated!')
$result
}
TesterWhen I insert this into the shell, it works fine. It will display the correct message like so:
But when I save the function into a file like test.ps1 and try to execute by right-clicking and "Run with PowerShell", it shows me an error message that flashes this then goes away:
Any suggestions on how to make message display while right clicking on the test.ps1 file?
Actually this is apart of problem that I am having when inserting the function into a bigger function that contains several functions. The message does not display at the end so I am drawing a conclusion to say that the reason why is above.
Thanks in advanced!
I need to find and identify all lan and wlan adapters on a Win7 PC.
I tried following but it fails I guess because the {} chars in registry key and other faults.
$x = Get-ChildItem -Path 'HKLM:SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}' -Exclude "Descriptions" | ForEach-Object {$_.Name.OpenSubKey("Connection") | Where (Get-ItemProperty ($_.PnPInstanceID).Substring(0,3) -eq "PCI" -and (Get-ItemProperty $_.MediaSubType -eq 2)) | Get-ItemProperty $_.Name }
thanks for any help
Hello everyone. Please pardon me if I don't make too much sense with what I'm trying to accomplish. We have a database that extracts data into a CSV file nightly. This database contains a lot of information concerning our physical servers. Whenever we decommission servers we have to fill spreadsheets with information gathered from this CSV file. However, I'm trying to only filter out certain columns and servers (the ones being decommissioned) from the CSV file.
Here is what I have so far:
$test = Import-CSV ".\aperture_servers.csv" |This works fine, however, it extracts EVERY (thousands) of servers into the new-test.csv file. I want to create a servers.txt file that has a list of servers and this way the export-csv command only exports servers that match the servers.txt file. Any help would be appreciated. (Sorry I'm very newb at this stuff).

Hi,
I'm new to powershell, and I can't figure out why this simple IF is not detecting correctly. the function returns TRUE, however, the if will process the condition "-eq 9"... How is TRUE = 9?
It must be some technicality that I'm missing. When I move the "-eq 9" after the $true and $false evaluation, it works... without changing the order of the IF RESULT, how can I get it to process the correct evaluation. In the example below, it
should process the code under "} elseif ($result -eq $true) {", not "if ($result -eq 9) {".
.
function myfunc ($param1) {
if ($param1 -eq "a") {
$result= $true
} elseif ($param1 -eq "b") {
$result= $false
} else {
$result= 9
}
return $result
}
########
$myreturn = myfunc "a"
write-host "myfunc returned: $myreturn "
if ($myreturn -eq 9) {
write-host "if detected: 9"
} elseif ($myreturn -eq $true) {
write-host "if detected: true"
} elseif ($myreturn -eq $false) {
write-host "if detected: false"
}
.
.
thank you
Hi,
Maybe I am getting confused with regular expressions :
$Regex="'^([0-9a-f]{4}\.){2}([0-9a-f]{4})$'"
$Bill|Select-String$Regex-AllMatches
write-host $Matches
This returns no results !
$Bill contains the following :
Authentication successful for client (006e.0bfa.1gf4)
I don't understand why this regex doesn't match this value ? I wonder is there any other way to match this type of value with the brackets ? It will always be in the
format (xxxx.xxxx.xxxx)
Thanks
Bill
I just got out of Powershell training and I have set file/folder group and permissions on a lot of files?
I have a csv file which list file names and what group and permissions they should have. Now I need to process through and set the permissions. I used Icacls to set the owner and now I am trying to use set-acl to set the group and access permissions. I found the documentation from Google or Technet to be incomplete or not simple enough for me to understand.
Is there a web page with the steps on using set-acl? What is the best way to proceed (set-acl, Icacls, or some other way?
Thanks for any help?
I have a script that automates Node.js application deployment and in the process calls
`npm install`
This command works OK in both cmd.exe and powershell.exe but fails when executed from the script area of the ISE (tried to run it both under standard user and Administrator, the result is the same). The output is then something like:
npm : npm http GET https://github.com/agilio/node-sqlserver-compiled/tarball/master At line:1 char:1+ npm install+ ~~~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (npm http GET ht.../tarball/master:String) [], RemoteException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError npm http GET https://github.com/bnoguchi/everyauth/tarball/express3 npm http GET https://github.com/agilio/loggly-console/tarball/master npm http 200 https://github.com/agilio/node-sqlserver-compiled/tarball/master npm http 200 https://github.com/agilio/loggly-console/tarball/master npm http 200 https://github.com/bnoguchi/everyauth/tarball/express3 npm WARN excluding symbolic link test\app.js -> ../example/server.jsMaybe ISE blocks some network communication that the standard console doesn't?

I define the following variable :
$bill=Get-SqlData"Alpha02""testdb""select * from fail"|Where-Object{($_.Msgtext-like"*fail*")}
This give me the follwing :
MsgHostname : Alpha06
MsgText : 13087: Dec 1 21:31:22: %DOT1X-5-FAIL: Authentication failed for client (16c7.r154.2g11) on Interface Gi0/13 AuditSessionID
The following regex is used to extract the value in between the ( ) :
($bill.Msgtext|Select-String-Pattern"\(.{4}\..{4}\..{4}\)"-AllMatches).Matches|Select-Expandvalue
This works fine - but how can I then match up the MsgHostname value, i.e Alpha06 with the corresponding value from the regex ? i.e.
16c7.r154.2g11 Alpha06
Thanks

I am a noob at PowerShell and currently have a batch routine I run that I would like to convert into PowerShell. It checks a license server for the listing of current users for a particular application. Over time the licenses become orphaned and need to be removed from the applications license pool manually.
The current batch file is listed below:
------------------------------------------------
echo off
CLS
Echo On
dir \\192.10.0.23\SoftekData\SoftekLic /Q
pause
-----------------------------------------------
AND it's output is as follows:
----------------------------------------------
C:\Windows>dir \\192.10.0.23\SoftekData\SoftekLic /Q
Volume in drive \\192.10.0.23\SoftekData has no label.
Volume Serial Number is C5CB-3D6F
Directory of \\192.10.0.23\SoftekData\SoftekLic
02/19/2013 02:40 PM <DIR> Computer\jsmith .

1 File(s) 5 bytes
2 Dir(s) 25,403,719,680 bytes free
C:\Windows>pause
Press any key to continue . . .
---------------------------------------------
Is anyone able to show me what the code equivalent in PowerShell would be so that I
can learn from it and take on converting similar batch files?
I want to get a list of files that are in a directory then allow a user to select of the files to be deleted
I have the following code. The string outputs the correct row starting in "model name". However, I need the 2 rows following "model row" also. Where did I make the mistake?
Also, how do I properly output these results to a text file?
-Thanks
$a = get-content c:\temp\ext\*.ext -totalcount 30
$a | select-string -patter '(?<=model name)(.*)' -Context 0,2 |
select -expa matches | select -expa value | % { $_.trim() }Hi,
In AD i cannot list the computers showing thier Operating System name like Windows 7 or Windows XP so its a pain to go through them all and separate them out . Can i run a script on the DC to insert the value from the Operating System objectclass into the description field within AD?
Thanks

Hey All,
So, today I was trying to uninstall SCCM 2012 client from a machine, and I wanted to use Powershell to do so. I've had a lot of dealings building and querying with Powershell, but I've never encountered a scenario where I had to call upon an external command. I've tried a few different things, but this is what I currently have:
$ccmuninstall= Invoke-Expression "C:\Windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe /uninstall"
Invoke-Command -ComputerName win7computer01 {$ccmuninstall}
I tried using ampersand as well, a few different ways, but came up with nothing. Any ideas how or if this is even possible?
Thanks!
