Hi
I have below script to update the notes info in Telephone tab of AD User properties. But through this, old info replaced and only show the new one.
Import-Csv .\script\userlist.csv | foreach {Set-ADUser $_.SamAccountName -Replace @{info="Disable user."}}
Now I want to append or add additional notes instead of replacing the old notes.
Please help me or guide me
Hi all,

I've been using the following article "Integrating Microsoft Excel with Powershell Part 2" to creat excel charts using Powershell. I've tweaked it a bit to use pie charts instead of bar graphs and have included 2 charts on one worksheet. Everything works fine except that the title for the second chart errors out with the follow message:
Property 'Text' cannot be found on this object; make sure it exists and is settable.
Any ideas on how to resolve this and add a title to the second chart?
The line of code causing the error is:
$chart2.ChartTitle.Text = "Helpdesk Tickets Period 2"
Here is the full script below:
[datetime]$P1 = "1/1/2013"
[datetime]$P2 = "1/29/2013"
[datetime]$P3 = "2/26/2013"
$File = import-csv "E:\Powershell\Documents\LooTok\BCMPortal\Period Reports\Excel\helpdeskstats.csv"
$Total_Stats = $File | ?{[datetime]$_.Created -ge [datetime]::Parse($P1) -and [datetime]$_.Created -lt [datetime]::Parse($P3)}
$P2Stats = $File | ?{[datetime]$_.Created -ge [datetime]::Parse($P2) -and [datetime]$_.Created -le [datetime]::Parse($P3)}

I do not know where to start on this but i need to know how to script logging into many computers simultaneously so as a logon script will kick off.
It would be better if we had a time out/logoff command of say an hour.
I know to script the lists and for each and all that but have no clue on doing the logon /multi threaded part.
could anyone help with this?
I am glad they added a -append parameter to Tee-Object, but I just found an irregularity to using it.
If an existing file is in ASCII format (not Unicode) and Tee-Object appends to it, then the file becomes a mixture of ASCII and Unicode.
Hello All,
Im having some trouble when using New-Object -COM Excel.Application on foreign machines primarily. It seems like my first four categories that are listed at the top of the spreadsheet have gone missing. But the data in which corresponds to the category below it stays intact. All other regions show the categories fine. Has anyone ever seen that before? How can i assure that all my categories stay?
$excel = New-Object -COM Excel.Application
$excel.visible = $false
$excel.displayalerts = $false
$excel = $excel.workbooks.add()
#categories Note: I have about 20 categories, they all look like this. The first 4 were missing on just a Tokyo machine. I need somehow a way to enforce that the fields be present after attempt has been made. or run a condition on it. This is inconsistent for just this region.
$Sheet = $excel.worksheets.item(1)
$Sheet.Cells.Item(1,1) = "Category1"
$Sheet.Cells.Item(1,2) = "Category2"
$Sheet.Cells.Item(1,3) = "Category3"
$Sheet.Cells.Item(1,4) = "Category4"
$Workbook = $sheet.UsedRange
$Workbook.Interior.ColorIndex = 49
$Workbook.Font.ColorIndex = 2
$Workbook.Font.Bold = $true
$intRow = 2
# Variable values go in the respectable second row, have about 20 of those as well
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,1) = $variable
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,2) = $variable2
$Sheet.Cells.Item($introw,3) = $variable3
$Sheet.Cells.Item($introw,4) = $variable4
# Now the variable $data is a mass collections of Get-ChildItems which you will see shortly
{
$sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,5) = $line.Name
$sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,6) = $line.Name2
$sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,7) = $line.Name3
$intRow = $intRow + 1

Hi,
I have a simple PowerShell script which contains just two functions, I would like to run through each of these functions, but in each one there is a condition where the function should terminate. so my script goes like this:
myfunc1
myfunc2
function myfunc1
{
If(some stuff)
{
things
}
ElseIf(some stuff)
{
things
}
Else
{
things
terminate/exit this function now
}
if(some stuff)
{
things
terminate/exit this function now
}
else
{
things
}
}
function myfunc2
{
If(some stuff)
{
things
}
ElseIf(some stuff)
{
things
}
Else
{
things
terminate/exit this function now
}
if(some stuff)
{
things
terminate/exit this function now
}
else
{
things
}
is this the correct way to call my functions consecutively, and how would i exit the first function so my script can continue with the second one?
thanks
Steve
I would like to create a script that will run at either startup or shutdown(whichever I can get working) in a GPO that will rename a domain computer based off of what is put into the description field of the machine account in AD. I wrote something in VBS that grabs the description field of the computer that the script is running on and checks its desc field in AD for the identifier RENAME:. If RENAME: is present in the desc field it takes what is after RENAME: (i.e. RENAME:IT-COMP-01) and stores that into a variable that will be used as the computer's new name. This part is working fine but the part I am stuck at is the actual renaming part. I wanted to use NETDOM but NETDOM isn't installed by default in Windows 7 and I feel a little uncomfortable including the domain and local admin credentials in the script. I am not very familiar with powershell so wanted to get some input on wether or not I can follow the same procedure as above in powershell to rename the computer based on the AD computer account desc field while keeping admin credentials secure?
Appreciate all help.
I have a text file that contains information that needs to be imported into SQL table. However, the file isn't delimited in anyway. It contains a header row and the data inline below that. Here is an example:
Outstanding 1-15 Days 16-30 Days
31-45 Days 46-65 Days
Student Name Amount Past Due Past Due Past Due
Past Due
------------------ --------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
DEYOU, KATINA P -5.00 0.00
0.00 0.00 0.00
The only regualarity to the data is that the column length is denotes by the length of the hyphens and these can vary depending on the longest student name in the column. I what I need is a PowerShell script that will evaluate the length of each column by counting the number of hyphens (characters) for each column and save that information to variables. I then would need to read each line in the file and insert a comma at the end of each data element of in the columns. Like this:
Outstanding 1-15 Days 16-30 Days
31-45 Days 46-65 Days
Student Name Amount Past Due Past Due Past Due
Past Due
------------------- --------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ -------------
DEYOU, KATINA P, -5.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00,
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
Does anyone know if something will break if I install wsh 5.7 on my windows 5.8 machine? (Assuming I can get around the WFP).
I need SendKeys to function, and I do not need the OS protecting me from this function.
Thanks, Ed
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out if what i'm thinking of doing is normal or crazy.
I'm working with a module (from netapp) and I want to build a tool which invokes the cmdlets without having c# invoke powershell which invokes the cmdlets but rather by calling the methods in the dll directly.
I've added the dll to my project as a reference and I can create objects from the types, but it seems like i'm missing some plumping or gloo as i'm having trouble sorting out what to call to actually get the methods to run (in this case i need to connect to a filer, retain the connection object and then run some methods to list, make or remove things on the filer).
So is the best/only way to use a module from c# to create a RunspaceFactory and just run the powershell commands within that space ?
I was hoping there is a way to do it more 'natively' if that makes sense.
Receiving error using this script: The TSQL script runs fine but errors in powershell.
Exception : System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

}Hi All,
I'm sending the content of an HTML file through an email to other people.
Below is the code I'm using.
$body = (get-content c:\Temp.html) | out-string
Send-MailMessage -To abc@gmail.com -Subject "Report" –From xyz@adp.com -SmtpServer smtpserver -Body $Body -BodyAsHtml
HTML page when opened locally looks good.
When the mail is received by me, the format looks good.
BUT when I send email to other people, they are not getting the format in correct way.
I've applied CSS while generating HTML, which fails while sending mail to other people.
Any guess what might be the reason?
Thanks,
Pavan
Hi,
I have a requirement in the SharePoint 2010 List containing the fields - Unique ID (People picker), FirstName(SingleLineofText), LastName(SingleLineofText) and so on.
Whenever the user fill in the "UniqueID" column, the fields (Firstname and Lastname) should be automatically populated based on the UniqueID.
do we have the powershell script for the same .
Thanks,
Chakradhar
