powershell-3.0

Hope some brave will help me ! I’m working from a few days now on a Powershell tool that display a dashboard on the screen corner to give some network “real-time” diagnostics of the computer. This dashboard can be minimized in the notification area. First, I created a function that get the diagnostics and display the status on the form. I tried to refresh data with a timer (See: Real Time Data With Powershell GUI ). The problem was that my function took too much time to be executed and it froze the interface. So buttons on the form were no more usable… (See: Mouse event don't work after first

So I'm still fairly new to Powershell and I'm trying to write a script that allows the user to select a file or folder and then get back the security permissions for said folder/file. The problem is, I can't seem to get the file path to record as a variable to be used later. Here's what I have so far: Function Get-Folder($initialDirectory) { [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.windows.forms") $foldername = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog $foldername.rootfolder = "MyComputer" $foldername.ShowDialog() if($foldername.ShowDialog() -eq "OK") { $folder +=

I've been working on some PowerShell scripts and found something a little odd. I have a script that accepts 4 mandatory parameters: two strings and two Booleans. .\[scriptname] [string1] [string2] [bool1] [bool2] This works fine, and I've checked that they are all being passed correctly. However, I've found something rather strange when PowerShell asks for parameters; it sets both booleans to true. .\[scriptname] [string1] [string2] please enter bool1: 0 please enter boo2: 0 It then runs the script as if bool1 and bool2 were set to true, and not to what I've set them to. I have true passing in

I need to try to update a web.config file to change the IP address only of the web.config I have included the section of code Im looking at for powershell to script the change. <connectionStrings> <add name="connectionString" connectionString="provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=192.168.1.100;database=sample;Trusted_Connection=Yes" providerName="System.Data.OleDb" /> <add name="sqlConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=192.168.1.100;Initial Catalog=sample;Trusted_Connection=Yes" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> I would like a very simple solution to this just update

I am using PowerShell 3. What is best practice for concatenating files? file1.txt + file2.txt = file3.txt Does PowerShell provide a facility for performing this operation directly? Or do I need each file's contents be loaded into local variables? If all the files exist in the same directory and can be matched by a simple pattern, the following code will combine all files into one. Get-Content .\File?.txt | Out-File .\Combined.txt I would go this route: Get-Content file1.txt, file2.txt | Set-Content file3.txt Use the -Encoding parameter on Set-Content if you need something other than ASCII
