powershell-5.0

I have been running a password expiration script for the pass 6 months without any issue. The script will read in a static html file and change around some of the content in memory and then an html email will be sent to all users who have expiring passwords. The script seems to have broke in the past week or so. Upon further investigation I've narrowed down the errors to the section where Powershell is supposed to create a new ComObject and write that HTML file to the ComObject. I now get the error : No coercion operator is defined between types 'System.Array' and 'System.String' At line:1

Here's my example: $Config = @{ AllNodes = @( @{ NodeName = 'localhost'; PSDscAllowPlainTextPassword = $True } ) } Configuration LocalAdmin { Param([String[]]$Node='localhost',[PSCredential]$Cred) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'PSDscResources' Node $Node { User 'LocalAdmin' { Username = 'Admin' Description = 'DSC configuration test' Ensure = 'Present' FullName = 'Administrator Extraordinaire' Password = $Cred PasswordChangeRequired = $False PasswordNeverExpires = $True } Group 'AddToAdmin' { GroupName = 'Administrators' DependsOn = '[User]LocalAdmin' Ensure = 'Present' MembersToInclude =

I've got problem with executing Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet. I read that ~100% case of that scenario is PS version lower than 3, but it's not my case: Name Value ---- ----- WSManStackVersion 3.0 PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3 CLRVersion 4.0.30319.34011 PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...} BuildVersion 10.0.10208.0 PSVersion 5.0.10208.0 SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1 I can add that I'm using Windows 10 IoT Core version of OS. In fact my main purpose is execution of simple web request, but I am interested why this cmdlet is not working, especially if more of them won't be ;/ I suppose it can

I've a machine (v3, internet, no admin access) which I used to download WMF 5.0 and set up another machine(v5, no internet, admin access). Now, I want to use some modules from PowerShellGet on the machine running v5 but no internet connection. I need an option to download *.psm1 file which I can then copy over and use. Just like we have options to download from GitHub. Anyone with a similar issue and any workarounds ? Install the Package Management Module on your PowerShell 3 machine, and then use Save-Module ... Or set up ProGet somewhere "on the edge" of your network, and have it mirror the

I'm translating some msbuild scripts to powershell. In msbuild, I can generate a blacklist and/or whitelist of files I want to (recursively) copy to a destination folder. As seen below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" DefaultTargets="AllTargetsWrapped"> <PropertyGroup> <!-- Always declare some kind of "base directory" and then work off of that in the majority of cases --> <WorkingCheckout>.</WorkingCheckout> <WindowsSystem32Directory>c:\windows\System32</WindowsSystem32Directory> <ArtifactDestinationFolder>$

I need to split a large file upload into many parallel processes and want to use a single CSV file as input. Is it possible to access blocks of rows from an Import-Csv object, something like this: $SODAData = Import-Csv $CSVPath -Delimiter "|" | Where $_.Rownum == 20,000..29,999 | Foreach-Object { ... } What is the syntax for such an extraction? I'm using Powershell 5. Import-Csv imports the file as an array of objects, so you could do something like this (using the range operator): $csv = Import-CSv $CSVPath -Delimiter '|' $SOAData = $csv[20000..29999] | ForEach-Object { ... } An alternative

I want to write a function that creates a folder (if it doesn't exist) with specified name inside specified folder. It's turned out that depending on calling New-Item function return different values. And I can't figure out how it's related to New-Item actually. $folderPath = "C:\tmp" function CreateFolder([string] $name, [string] $parentFolder) { $path = "$parentFolder\$name" if(!(Test-Path $path)) { New-Item -path $parentFolder -name $name -itemtype Directory } return $path } $FOLDER_NAME = "folder1" $destination = CreateFolder $FOLDER_NAME $folderPath echo $destination.GetType() If folder1

I want to connect to VSTS and get a list of agent pools. I want to enumerate the agent pools and then delete agents on the VSTS server. I can't find any documentation for how to do this in the VSTS API reference. I'm connecting to VSTS fine like this to list projects for example, but how to list agent pools? $User = 'mark.allison@domain.com' $PersonalAccessToken = '{PAT_TOKEN}' $base64authinfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $User, $PersonalAccessToken))) $vstsAccount = "{VSTS_ACCOUNT}" # projects $resource = 'projects' $uri = "https://sabinio
