It's easy to open up a given excel spreadsheet:
$xl = New-Object -ComObject "Excel.Application"
$wb = $xl.Workbooks.open("C:\Users\xxxxxxx\Desktop\excel.xlsx")
Make the spreadsheet visible to the user:
$xl.visible = $true
And even select the current sheet they are currently looking at:
$ws = $wb.ActiveSheet
But is it possible to get the cells that the user has currently selected, in that sheet?
$cells = $ws.BlackBoxFunction.GetCells.Please?
or
$cells = $ws.ActiveCells
Because I'm not seeing a way to do so. Even after exploring the $ws and $wb objects with the Get-Member dealio. Any ideas?
Hello Community
Using Powershell 2.0 you can use Get-SPServiceApplicationPool to display
the SharePoint Service Application Pools.
Is there a PowerShell command to show IIS Application Pools?
Thank you

currently i have a command to find computers account for the domain
current query only retrieve records from the same domain
how can i expand it to the whole forest as it contains multiple domain?
below is the powershell script use
$d = [DateTime]::Today.AddDays(-30); Get-ADComputer -Filter 'PasswordLastSet -ge $d' -Properties PasswordLastSet,operatingsystem,CanonicalName | select Name,PasswordLastSet,operatingsystem,CanonicalName | export-csv c:\computerrecords.csv
# For any given "Morning Action Time" this script might test whether the current time is
# within a set number of minutes--$MinutesTimeInterval--before or after the current time
# Use: in a larger script that is fired by Task Scheduler at 10 minute intervals all day
# Once per morning, at a set "Morning Action Time", the script can fire other actions,
# e.g., send an email or something
$Now=Get-Date
[INT]$MinutesTimeInterval= 5
$MorningActionTime='14:50'
$CurrentDiff = New-TimeSpan $Now $MorningActionTime
[INT]$AbsCurrentDiff = $CurrentDiff.TotalMinutes
#Write-Host 'Time of Day is ' $Now.TimeOfDay
#Write-Host 'Difference-in Minutes-between Now and MorningSendTime is: ' $AbsCurrentDiff
IF ($AbsCurrentDiff -lt 0) {$AbsCurrentDiff *=-1 } # Is there an easier way to return Absolute Value?
IF ($AbsCurrentDiff -le $MinutesTimeInterval)
{Write-Host Within 5 minutes, either way, of Morning Send Time so...Do some stuff}
ELSE #IF (-not($AbsCurrentDiff -le $MinutesTimeInterval))
{Write-Host Farther than 5 minutes away, either way, from Morning Send Time so... Do nothing}
Just began fooling with PowerShell last week and, as I am probably demonstating here, I don't know the language very well yet. Would someone be kind enought to shread this up as needed and let me know how to make it a little cleaner/prettier?HomeCookN
Please let me know how to enable Auditing for C:\Windows via Powershell or thru GPO? Running Windows 2008 SP2 32 bit.
Here's the Code I have compiled but errors out for Windows folder only (Below script is run as Domain Admin):
$Folders = "C:\Windows", "C:\Temp" , "C:\Another"
Foreach ($Folder in $Folders) {
Write-Host "" # Empty line
Write-Host "Applying Auditing for folder", $Folder
Write-Host "" # Empty line
$ACL = Get-ACL $Folder
# Set Auditing for Success event for above Folders for EVeryone group
$PermAudited = "Delete, DeleteSubdirectoriesAndFiles"
$AccessRule = new-object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAuditRule("Everyone", $PermAudited, "Success")
$ACL.SetAuditRule($AccessRule)
# Set Auditing for Success event for Top folder
Write-Host $Folder, "for auditing Success event"
$ACL | Set-ACL $Folder
}
Error:
Set-Acl: Attemped to perform an unauthorized operations.
PermissionDenied: (C:\Windows:String)
Thanks
Update1:
Tried via GPO - Computer Configuration - Policies - Windows Settings - Security Settings - File System
Clicked Add File and selected C:\Windows folder and enabled audit options
Finally shows up as %SystemRoot%
Did GPupdate but no avail.
I have found quite a few posts and topics about adding recipients via a .csv, but I haven't found anything definitive on setting email addresses for a distribution group via a .csv or other file containing a list. All of my attempts have failed miserably. I cannot even seem to add one email address via Powershell. I keep getting "Set-DistributionGroup : There is no primary SMTP address." The basic command I have been using is this:
Set-DistributionGroup ExistingDG -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled $false -EmailAddresses new.email@domain.com
Is there something that I'm missing fundamentally about the -EmailAddresses option? Thanks in advance.
Hello,
PS 2 on Windows 7. I use the following line to grab data from the clipboard within scripts, without issue:
$RawText = & {powershell –sta {add-type –a system.windows.forms; [windows.forms.clipboard]::GetText()}}
if you were to $RawText.GetType() it would be string.
Then, because I recently changed computers, I realized I don't have my profile file loading anymore, in which I have several custom functions defined. So I copied my profile file from my previous machine to where it should go on my new computer.
That same line:
$RawText = & {powershell –sta {add-type –a system.windows.forms; [windows.forms.clipboard]::GetText()}}
now returns an Object[]? Sure enough, to confirm, I renamed my profile file so it would not load and that same line is back to returning a string.
what the?
My profile file contains ONLY function definitions, it does not execute any code or change any settings.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
below is my powershell code.
I am keep getting a error PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'Get_info'
the store procedure should return some information. it does expect any input parameter.
the cofusing part is the stored procedure need to declare "refcursor". at least that's what the DBA telling me.

hello,
I just would like to implement this use a script that could: sync code from TFS, build, publish/inplace upgrade to IIS. I would like it as a script so I could use windows scheduler to trigger it by day or week, automatically. Do you think it is a good design and could you point some sample code for me? really thank you.

Mark as Answer if it helps. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, confers no rights.
I have function in a module which returns a paths -
function PoshPath([string] $tag)
{
switch ($tag)
{
"sql" { return $psscriptroot+"\scripts\sql" }
"private" { return $psscriptroot+"\scripts\private" }
"public" { return $psscriptroot+"\scripts\public" }
"sql" { return $psscriptroot+"\scripts\sql" }
default { return $psscriptroot }
}
}
I am facing a peculier issue where in the return string of the function is been appended with space,
I realized the issue is nothing related to a function as in the second call to write-host I can see the space inserted between Hello and \*.ps1.
Why this extra space added and how can I get rid of this?
Thanks,
Shiju Samuel

Hi all,
i have 2 xml files, 1 generated from another powershell script and it is a SQL result (around 10k lines) and a static xml file (messages.xml around 2100 lines)
i need generate a report, to do this, 1 use the import-clixml for system.xml and messages.xml
after that, i use foreach for systems.xml...
the problem realies here...for each systems row, column ID, i need to get the text from messages..and i'm using
$msgRecord = | $messages | where-object {$_.MessageID -eq <ID>} (code bellow)
but it is taking too long, around 4min every 500 lines...
is there a way to speed it up?
