Need to verify file is created daily.

File has the following format: producxx.csv

xx represents days of the month (0-31)

I basically just need to verify system creates it. If not created, then send an email notification.

I am using get-date -format d to get the date. I just don’t know how I can use days of the month to verify this.

Hi everybody,

Need to pick your bring with this ps script.I need to check if the file does not exist for the current date. Format of the filename is mthfpcxx.csv where xx represents day of the month. Check of the file is done once day mon-fri expects weekends and US Holidays.

I managed to compile (csv file) the dates of all US holidays from 01/01/2013 to 12/25/2020

I'm trying to build a script that pulls a list of active computer accounts from each of my 3 domains. I've built a shell command that will pull the list from AD and test-connection using the $_.dnshostname attribute. The idea here is to make sure the computer accounts are still valid (i know about lastlogon attribute, forget about that for now). This works great, I can output to a file and hand it off to my boss. Now I need to create a script that will do all 3 domains, and create either a single file or 3 files,  using the output from each of the three commands:

##

get-ADcomputer -filter * -searchbase "DC=any,DC=com" -server "any_domaincontroller" | forEach-object {test-connection -CN $_.dnshostname -count 1 -buffersize 16} | format-table address,ipv4address | out-file ".\domain"

##

I know there's a ton of ways to do this, but I thought I would post first before I start building lest I miss something incredibly obvious. Ideally i would do a convertto-html for all the output and dump it to IIS on a nightly basis for my boss, but at this point I would welcome suggestions on how to create a single script that runs all 3 commands, and cats to a single file. Maybe the easiest thing is to create 3 scheduled tasks? (one for each domain)

In the WorkDayTimer PS script below, I can enter the starting values, and when I click the Start Timer button, it runs fine for a few seconds, but then it stops. Also, once I start it, I can't change the input values on the form and then restart the timer because it will not accecpt any new input at all. I want the timer to continue to run while I'm entering new values, and then I want it to stop when I click the Start Timer button again, which should reset the timer and start it over with the new values I entered.

I'm sure it is stuck in an endless loop, and that it won't give the focus back to the form while looping, but I don't know how I should change it to fix this. I'm a novice, so I'm hoping there is an easy way to do this. Any help will be much appreciated.

I am using PowerShell to point at a SharePoint list, look through the items, find the items that meet a certain criteria, and output a few of the columns using Format-Table.  I assigned this table the $newusers variable, so when I type $newusers I get the following:

FirstLast     Status
-------------- -------
JohnDoe      New
JaneDow     New

(sorry, I can't get the above to look like a table)

I would now like to run another PowerShell command using those values and a foreach statement, but I need to turn the columns into variables.  I want to iterate through that table, and run a command for each row.  For example:

new-aduser -name ($first + " " + $last) -givenname $first -surname $last -notes $status

(don't worry about the accuracy of the above syntax, it is used as an example)

How can I accomplish this?

how do i export error in txt file

Hello All,

I am running into trouble trying to automate emails that send with multiple attachments AND authenticates on port 587.

This is trying to take all files within the $CopyDir and attach them via email. However, it will only attach 1 file and send. It properly authenticates on port 587, which is what we use. This cannot be changed.

$CopyDir = "somelocationonserver\files\"

------

$EmailFrom = "sendmailfrom@nomail.com" 
$EmailTo = "sendmailto@nomail.com"
$EmailBody = "Body of email"
$EmailSubject = "My Subject"
$Username = "myemailcredentials"
$Password = "mypassword"

$CopyDir = "C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Reports\"

$Message = New-Object Net.Mail.MailMessage($EmailFrom, $EmailTo, $EmailSubject, $EmailBody)
$Logfiles = Get-Childitem $CopyDir | WHERE {-NOT $_.PSIsContainer} | foreach{$_.fullname}
$Attachment = New-Object Net.Mail.Attachment($Logfiles)
$Message.Attachments.Add($Attachment)
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient("mysmtpserver.smtp.com", 587)
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username, $Password);
$SMTPClient.Send($Message)

-------

I try to re-write this using the send-mailmessage cmdlet. Here I assume I can attach multiple files, but it won't authenticate because I can't figure out how to pass the port with this cmdlet. The attachments are piped into the send-mailmessage.

-----

Get-ChildItem $CopyDir | Where {-NOT $_.PSIsContainer} | foreach {$_.fullname} |
send-mailmessage -from $EmailFrom -to $EmailTo -subject $EmailSubject -priority High -dno onSuccess, onFailure UseSSL=true -smtpServer mysmtpserver.smtp.com

-----

Send-MailMessage : The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated

----

I can't seem to meet in the middle between these two. Any advice would help great. Again, I am looking to send multiple attachments (from $CopyDir), through an email service that requires authentication via Port 587.

I've been searching around and haven't found a solution yet.

Is there a Powershell script that can manipulate the "Client devices" under the Environment tab for all AD users?

I'd like to enable "Connect client printers at logon" and "default to main client printer", and make sure "Connet client drives at logon" is disabled.

Hi,

I want to create a array and it has to be a 2d array. But i don`t know how i can fix it in the format i wan`t.

i need a kind of output like this:

        A B C D E F G H I J

10

9

8

7

6

5

4

3

2

1

It is for a little game for school. So after creating the array i need to get a output in a table.

I created an array with the following, but the problem is a user needs to give a coordinate like 1,D. With my own array i can only give coordinate 1,4.

$Array = New-Object 'object[,]' 10,10

Foreach ($Element in $Array) {
    $Element = " "
    }

Can anyone help me please??

Thanks in Advance

We have one newsletter server which sends reports and ezines to the opt-in database of 4,75,000 users four times in a day. Our application is managing the mail merge and through put very well but the challenge is on mail delivery cluster. We have a cluster of 6 mail servers catering to this huge load. There is one master distribution server which we use to distribute the traffic to the 6 servers on round robin fashion therefore the load is balanced. The challenge is that these 6 mail servers if operating on one single IP address get into bulk precedence and so for that we have added 10 IP's to each windows server.

I need to rotate these static IP's on the server on hourly basis using either some script or software for which I seek experts help. it should rotate the IP's from 1-10 each on hourly basis.

Thank you in advance for kind assistance :)

What is the best or efficient way to retrieve Microsoft Security Update dll attributes such as name, version, size, and path.

For certain there are two way I know.

either use the Get-ChildItem or Get-ItemProperty diectly from the registry.

I will be creating a function which will allow me to pass the name of the dll and logical drive which I will like to start searching.

Also I will have a list of servers and i will like to remote to these machines....

What I am interesting is in the core logic of which techinique will be more efficient Get-ChildItem or Get-ItemProperty?

thanks.... any that might I have left such as when searching WIN side by side path which contain same dll but difference version. How to retrieve the latest version on machine which are 2005 and 2008 but it will not apply for 2003 and 2010 which dll resides on system32.

After laying out all this.... then I will need to consider when machines will contain 32 and 64 software install. 

Any suggestions will be appreciate!!

Hello all,

I am creating folders based off of the date. I then check to see if that folder was created, and this is where I am running into an issue since the folder name will be unique each day, I just can't say to look for folder "x". I think I ran into a mental block.

Here is my code.

$DestDir = "C:\Users\Desktop\Folder"

$Date = (Get-Date).tostring("MM-dd-yyyy")

$FolderCheck = (Test-Path -Path $DestDir -PathType Container $Date)

The first line is the location of $DestDir.

The second line grabs the date and stores it in $Date.

The third line is where I have the issue. 

I am looking for a folder under $DestDir that has the name of the current $Date.

The error I am getting is this,

Test-Path : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '01-12-2013

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi

Perhaps somebody may find this easy. I have a folder of files that are periodically downloaded from a website. This is not a lot of traffic as they are small files, but there are lots and this takes time. Is there a way I can add a loop that checks the file size in bytes on the hosted file compared to the local file and only download if there is a difference?

This is not a bullet proof way of checking if the two are the same, but it would eliminate 95% of downloads.

Usually I use Powershell as such for a much bigger loop:

	$clnt = new-object System.Net.WebClient
	$url = www.somesite.com/15415499.jpg
	$file = c:\temp\15415499.jpg
	$clnt.DownloadFile($url,$file)

Can I somehow get an 'if' in there that only downloads the $url that is different to $file? Note , $file may not exist if $url is a new file.

Many thanks

Gund

Hi,

I'm very new to PS...From a sharepoint 2010 server with PS 2 and 3 installed I'm trying to backup sharepoint 2010 using:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell 
Backup-SPFarm -Directory c:\backup -BackupMethod Full 

But as .net 4 and PS 3 are installed it will not run....if i manually change to use version 2 with:

powershell -version 2

and then run the backup it works....

BUT this needs to be automated - called from task scheduler so I tried this:

powershell -version 2
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell 
Backup-SPFarm -Directory c:\backup -BackupMethod Full 

It does not create a backup...

I can not uninstall PS 3 either as the KB is missing and the option in Server Manager is greyed out plus removing .net 4 is not really an option either...

Thanks.
