Hi All,
I have a script to get email and error from a logs. I'm planing to email the user using command send-mailmessage. But how can i make sure that I won't send out the same email within 5 days? because the system will auto generate the log and the user will keep receiving emails. I wanted to setup if the same user exists, no email will send out and after 5 days if the same user exists again, then send out the email.
Rgds,

Hi,
I think I found a very usefull resource here but I'm unable to run it:
http://jeffwouters.nl/index.php/2013/09/powershell-function-to-get-ntfs-rights-on-a-folder-for-groups-and-users-recursive/
I've tried to run the script directly from a PS window, but whenever I try to execute a simple command, as from EXAMPLES, I get an error:
PS C:\Path> get-ntfspermissions -sharename '\\share\folder' -domain 'domain'
get-ntfspermissions : The term 'get-ntfspermissions' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included,
The AD module loaded correctly. Any help please?
Hi
I have this simple script that reads a file (list of servers) and pings it and outputs if pinging the word up in green is displayed next to server if or down red is displayed
My problem, say in this example there are 6 servers s1,s2....s6 and s3 is not pinging
I have found that
s1/s2 says up in green
s3 says down in red
s4-s6 says up but in red, this is my problem why is the reminder red.
any help would be really appreciate or even a nice way to format this
$MessageParams = @{
From = 'abc@test.com’
To = "recabc@test.com”
subject = "Ping Exchange”
SMTPServer = 'SMTPServer'

} else
{ $report += Write-output "$Server <b><font color=red> Down <br>"
}
}

Hello all,
I am new here, so first a very friendly hello to you all.
I hope you can help me with a little issue. I have to uninstall a wlan driver on a couple of clients, which are scattered in different countries.
So, is it possible to do this using Powershell or WMIC? I didn´t found something useful in the web for that.
Kind regards.
Hi Folks,
I have been away from regular use of PowerShell for a while, and now that I am back, I seem to have forgotten everything! Reading from a CSV file:
$in=import-csv $InFile
ForEach ( $address in $in ) { Get-User -Identity $address}
Cannot convert value "@{address=alias}" to type "Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.UserIdParameter". Error: "Cannot convert hashtable to an object of the following type: Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.UserIdParameter. Hashtable-to-Object conversion is not supported in restricted language mode or a Data section."
This is a *trivial* issue and I am sure I am just overlooking something, but what? How to extract the value of "alias" from the hash?
Thanks for any help.

I have a CSV that has the following column headings:
| UserID | Name | GroupName | LogonRestrictions |
UserID is the sAMAccountName.
GroupName is the name of an AD group
LogonRestrictions is a machine name.
My current script is as follows:
$inputFile = "\\NP1SECR016v\SECRpt\LogonRestrictionConfig\SSLVPN_Users.csv"
$complist = Import-Csv -Path $inputFile | ForEach-Object {$_.Logonrestrictions}
foreach($comp in $complist){
$comparray += ","+$comp
}
Set-ADUser -Identity "H139616" -LogonWorkstations $comparray
#End Script
this works great if all the records are for the same UserID. However, the csv that I am given has multiple user accounts. In other words the first 10 records will be for userA with a unique logonrestriction value (10 unique computer names). The next 20 records will be for user B with an entirely different list of computer names. I have like 27 unique user IDs and the total record count is 1800.
Is there a clever way to built the $comparray for the first unique user ID then run the set-aduser command and then build the $comparray for the next unique user ID and so on and so on?
Hello, I am working on a powershell script that looks for a certain folder and if it isn't there it installs a program.
When I run it on a local machine it works fine. When I put it on the server and tie it to a group policy that runs at login or startup it doesn't work.
I was wondering if it was something in the script or whether it was something wrong with group policy. Please have a look at the script and tell me if you see anything that would prevent it from running properly when it isn't run locally.
$Path = "$env:COMPUTERNAME C:\Program Files\SAAZOD" $path2 = "$env:Computername C:\Program Files (x86)\SAAZOD" If((Test-Path -path $Path) -or (Test-Path -Path $path2) -eq $true) {exit} Else {invoke-command { & \actsmartsbs\Applications\AmericanComputer_6201_DPMA_SILENT_526.exe}}
Thanks
I'm trying to create a powershell script that will show me how much available HD space is left on each VM
So far i have a text file call machines.txt that have a list off all the VM machines, The below is my command
$computers = Get-Content -Path "C:\dacto\machines.txt"
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computers -ScriptBlock {
Get-WmiObject [decimal]::round((Get-WMIObject Win32_LogicalDisk | Where-Object {$_.DeviceID -eq "C:"}).freespace / 1gb)}
But don't forget the next iteration of Windows Server -- Windows Server 10, to be exact.
I created this command line to search all sub folders from where it is ran and use a certain file type and then do a select-string -pattern " the string you want"
Her is the script that has variables I use
get-childitem *snpdrvdbg*.log -recurse | select-string -pattern "$string" -context 3, 3 | Foreach {"$_$nl"} | out-file -Filepath $ActivityLog -encoding ascii
I am running this on a file share . That path is \\stingray\data\2005436477\snap logs\SnapDrive. This is actually a psdrive
Stingray FileSystem \\stingray\data
The results that I get looks something like this in the txt file
\\stingray\data\2005436477\snap logs\SnapDrive\Snpdrvdbg.log:1727:01/12-12:08:36.480 PID:2464 TID:6976 filer_set.cpp@13 filer_t::get_network_name: start.
\\stingray\data\2005436477\snap logs\SnapDrive\Snpdrvdbg.log:1728:01/12-12:08:36.480 PID:2464 TID:6976 localerror.cpp@82 Is_VDS_ITF_Error(): false.
I would like to know if it is possible to remove part of what is written to the txt file or shown on the screen like the current path I am in. Looking to maybe see something like this:
Snpdrvdbg.log:1727:01/12-12:08:36.480 PID:2464 TID:6976 filer_set.cpp@13 filer_t::get_network_name: start.
Snpdrvdbg.log:1728:01/12-12:08:36.480 PID:2464 TID:6976 localerror.cpp@82 Is_VDS_ITF_Error(): false.
Now the file path will never be the same so I was trying to use a variable $path=$pwd.ProviderPath to reports back the current path and location I am in for example:
PS Stingray:\2005436477\snap logs\SnapDrive> $path=$pwd.ProviderPath
PS Stingray:\2005436477\snap logs\SnapDrive> $path
\\stingray\data\2005436477\snap logs\SnapDrive
PS Stingray:\2005436477\snap logs\SnapDrive>
Any help would be great as I am running out of brain cells here.
If you have any questions please feel free to reply. I work 3rd shift so I am here most of the night to reply back in a timely manner. Again thank you for who wver can help me.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I have a script which removes a folder from a number of servers, names of which are in a .ini file.
$VM_names = Get-Content "D:\Scripts\VMnames.ini"
ForEach ($VM in $VM_names){ Remove-Item "\\$VM\modules\foldername" -Recurse -Force }
I'd like to create a log file which contains the name of the server and the date and time when it was done.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Sorry for this but I am a newbie to scripting I need help with following powershell script

Hi All,
I'm currently make a wsus script but having issues with two things. Firstly, when trying to add a group to the ApprovedCOmputerTargetGroups with .Add($group) its displaying error overload for add. The $group is equal to "Company1" and return a string.
The last issue is when using the -eq operator having -eq $group causing the script to brake and when I place the value of $group along side -eq "Company1" it's works.
If anyone can give some ideas why these issue are accruing, this will be great.
Thanks,
Paul
Hi,
I am new to PS. I want to use PS to search the security event log for failed logins and have it output the account name that failed the login, the date/time it occurred, and the reason. Those are the only things I wanted shown.
If I run the following command
GET-EVENTLOG -Logname Security -InstanceId 4625 | export-csv C:\failed.csv
then I get output that had date/time and 4625 events but the Username field is empty for some reason. I would like to know the username that failed the login.
Similary I want to run a command to capture the date/time and username of successful login attempts and have the output only be the date/time and username of the succesful login.
Please help.
I have the following script and all is working (thanks to advice from this site and Craig Duff). I am now attempting to add a final piece that emails the results. The issue I am having is that I can't get the format of the email body correct.
I have tried out-string and format-table with no luck.
The goal is to write to the body of the email the list of users ($user.name) and the the machines ($comp) that were added to the user's LogonRestrictions attribute. In a nice readable table / format.
Any ideas????

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a Powershell script to copy a user profile folder and all of the folders inside to another location.
I have made this script and for some odd reason it only copies the folders and not the content inside? Also for example the AppData folder is hidden and it's not copied over?
