Hi!
I'm trying to retrieve the installed date for patches but it seems that powershell get-wmiobject win32_quickfixengineering is not showing the installedOn value while wmic qfe list full shows the installedon value.
I'm not familar with wmi console... is there any workaround for this?
Good Morning All,
I created a script that will take usernames from a TXT file and populate a CSV with properties found from Get-ADUser. The script works fine, but will only return results if the user exists on the same domain as I am connected to by default. How can I have it search multiple subdomains?
Example:
domain1.ad.viacom.com
domain2.ad.viacom.com
Secondly, there is a special case I will run into if I can get this working. If a username exists on both domains but is in fact 2 different people.
Examaple:
domain1\doej
domain2\doej
I assume the original text file will need to include "domain1\" or "domain2\" preceeding the username and I would have to parse this information somehow. What would I use to point it to a specific domain to return the valid results?
Thank you for any help / suggestions that can be offered.
Hey all,
I've come seeking some powershell help, specifically with the System.IO.Ports.SerialPort class...
(Code is at end of this post)
I'm creating a script to go in and run an AT command on a specific selection of win32_potsmodem devices.
Up until the point of the actual writing of the AT command to the COM port, it seems everything is fine.
The problem is that I will test run the script once, it will work without throwing an error, and exit fine.
If i immediately, or shortly (within a minute or 2) rerun the script, it fails with an unhandled exception.
I've used try/catch , and some basic diag output to narrow it down to the actual writeline command.
I can't seem to find the graceful way to handle the IO to the COM port, but when it does run without error, it works - so i know the script is 'generally' good in terms of what im looking to acheive. Need some help figuring this out, and had 3 people with more powershell knowledge than me to look at it , and they havent been able to figure it out (though theyve helped narrow the problem to the actual .write method..)
I have some screencaps to illustrate the inconsistent results from this script:
1st test run (notice how the serialport still spits back info after the error, albeit a bit of delay):
2nd test run, this time i hit close on the powershell error before the serialport can spit back info, and this is the error i get:
3rd time, still using the exact same script (waiting 1-2 mins): (will upload in 2nd comment)
So needless to say, there is something i am not handling appropriately here...
I think it's either the add_datareceived codeblock, or something with how i am actually handling the write of the AT command to the port...
Any help would be much appreciated!

OK, so I am new at powershell, and I am having an issue getting my script to run.
Here is what it is supposed to do:
Move all files out of a set of folders to another set of folders. Inside of the destination set of folders, there are extra folders being made daily that are named according to this date format : yyyyMMdd (Script 1), this is running fine and runs separately
from the moving script. I am trying to use an array to provide the function with the destination and source file path, then run a function that actually does the moving. This function will check to ensure that the pathways exist before they do the moving and
provide fault checking (Script 2). Most of the second script's function is what I found online and tried to change a few things to make it work. Unfortunately, I get an error in the first line of the function and cannot find what I am doing wrong.

Hello all,
I am trying to create a function that can be used to clear out the AD group memberships for an identified user. Here is what I have currently.

$userGroups | ForEach-Object {get-adgroup $_ | Remove-ADGroupMember -confirm:$false -member $SAMAccountName}
$userGroups = $null
}
$users | ForEach-Object {RemoveMemberships $_.SAMAccountName}
When I run this, I receive the following error:

I have a backup server with six NICs all configured on the same subnet. For various reasons we do not want to use NIC teaming. Also we cannot move to 10Gbps switching.
It has several fast disk arrays and two tape devices so storage will not be a bottleneck.
I want to run several copy scripts across the network at the same time throughout the night. To increase throughput I would like to have the different copy scripts all use different physical NICS. If they all use the same NIC maximum throughput will be limited
to 1Gbps.
Is there any way to set command or the script environment to use a specific NIC?

I know there are several ways to do everything in PS but now i need the most efficient one.
The situation:
I have thousands of users and their group memberships change frequently, I get an input file that I do not controll as a line such that first item is the user followed by a varying number of groups, like:
dans,grpA,grpB,grpC
ruthd,grpG,grpB,grpQ,grpZ
each input file can have thousands of lines and i do need the script to be optimized - ie run as fast as possible
much obliged

We don't want certain servers on our network to have have access to the internet. They are placed on private subnets with no routing to the internet. All of the interfaces for these servers show a yellow triangle because the servers cannot talk to the internet. Is there any way to stop these servers from trying to go to the internet, and can we set the interface so that it doesn't detect that no internet is available? All servers are Windows Server Enterprise or Standard 2008 R2 SP1.
Hi Friends,
I need powershell script to dump all the shared folder and thier permission from serverlist.txt. the below code just giving me the shares but not the permissions.
$strComputer = gc C:\ps-test\serverlist.txt
foreach ($computer in $strComputer) {
$colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_Share" -namespace "root\CIMV2" -computername $computer
foreach ($colItem in $colItems) {
$sharename = $colItem.Name
$share = "\\" + $computer + "\" + $sharename | Out-File C:\ps-test\result.txt -NoClobber -Append
$share
}
}
Apologies for being vague in the title.
We have a Powershell script that interrogates a text files containing a list of servers to report on available disk space.
The script works and reports as expected, flagging those servers were we're unable to report on due to OS not suitable, not contactable etc. with an error message. So even if the server name entered into the text file is incorrect, it would\should show in the report.
My query is that for some reason some of the server entries in the text file are being 'skipped over'.
I have tried running with a test text file containing just two of the Host names and again with just IP addresses of one that does report and one that is skipped. I am getting the same results i.e. just one server being reported. There are no discernible differences between the two servers i.e. Vlans, OS, permissions etc.

also, it is very nice to read a csv file and provide header names so in script i can refer to items in the array bu name.
BUT how do i create a NEW array in the script with header names?

Hello,
I'm trying to create a new AD user with the New-ADUser command. It created an AD user but the name is different. i.e., in AD, it shows as "Test Admin" when I manually create the user. When I create with command, it created the user like this: "Test.Admin"
Upon closer look:
SamAccountName: Test.Admin CN: Test.Admin Name: Test.Admin
PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-ADUser -Identity "Test.Admin" -Properties * | FL CN, Name CN : Test.Admin Name : Test.Admin
I tried to specify both CN and Name parameters, but it seems to be they didn't exist! Can anyone let me know how can I specify both CN and Name parameters while created a new AD account with New-ADUser command?
Any further help would be appreciated. Thank you!
