powershell-3.0

I am trying to find if any servers in our enviroment have NOT been applied to a particular group. I have a list of groups that we use to patch our Windows Servers on partiular days / nights / manual etc..., i am trying to check if any server in our enviroment was incorrectly put on the domain and missed this step - does not have a Patching Group Member. so far i i have: $servers = get-adcomputer -Filter 'ObjectClass -eq "Computer"' -properties * foreach ($server in $servers) { if($server.OperatingSystem -match "Windows Server 2008" -or $server.operatingsystem match "Windows Server 2003" ) {

EDIT Hoping here to clarify my convoluted and misleading question... based on my mistaken assumption that -file accepts inputs. Thanks for setting me straight and pointing out that it's just a switch parameter; the inputs in my example actually get passed to -path. Sounds like that may be the fastest purely powershell way to search for multiple file types, since -filter accepts only a single input and -include is slower. The get-childItem documentation says "Filters are more efficient than other parameters, because the provider applies them when retrieving the objects, rather than having

I am implementing the TFS Security commands to change a git master branch acess control permissions to DENY for contribute field. Below is the command I am using: /tfssecurity.exe /a+ GitRepositories repositories/[543473b8-6186-42b3-bdab-b22bc44cc8f8/] GenericContribute n:'"[Projectname]\TFSGroup'" DENY /collection:CollectionURL" I am using powershell 3.0 for this project and I get below error Error: The security namespace GitRepositories does not exist. Could someone help me with this? You missed a blank space in "Git Repositories" name space. Try following: tfssecurity.exe /a+ "Git

I am trying to create a function in which a user has to give a filename that can not containt an empty string. Besides that, the string can not contain a dot. When I run this function, I keep looping when I enter "test" for example. Any idea as to why? function Export-Output { do { $exportInvoke = Read-Host "Do you want to export this output to a new .txt file? [Y/N]" } until ($exportInvoke -eq "Y" -or "N") if ($exportInvoke -eq "Y") { do { $script:newLog = Read-Host "Please enter a filename! (Exclude the extension)" if ($script:newLog.Length -lt 1 -or $script:newLog -match ".*") { Write-Host

My goal is to send email to some users to notify about the current count of the files inside some folder directories. I need to count files only with .txt extensions and exclude folders and files inside this. please see below illustration U:\TESTING\Main Folder U:\TESTING\Main Folder\Sub Folder 1 U:\TESTING\Main Folder\Sub Folder 2 output result should look somehting like this Main Folder row should be 1 only, but it also includes the sub folders 1 and 2 and the txt files inside those. Here's the part of the code that counts the total files $total = Get-ChildItem $path -Recurse -File -Include

PowerShell has a unique set of comparison operators: -eq -gt -lt -ne etc. I vaguely remember using such operators in a different language, but can't recollect which one. Which other languages use such notations? what is reason for not using the standard operators (==, >,<, !=)? The Unix test command for instance uses similar operators. Perl has operators like that too, although without the leading hyphen. The reason for PowerShell to use mnemnics rather than symbols for the comparison operators is probably that some of the commonly used comparison symbols are already in use for other
