powershell-2.0

I can execute the following command on a specific machine and it can return a list of processes on several target computers but returns a "Couldn't connect to remote machine" error on one machine. get-process -ComputerName 192.168.1.101 None of the target machines have powershell installed. The machine I am executing the powershell script on has 2.0 installed. I have admin privileges on all machines. The target machines that are able to return a list of processes remotely are server 2003 Standard Edition with SP 1. The target machine that does not return a list of processes remotely is server

What it basically does is the script gets the .msu files from a location and copies to the "C:\temp\" folder. Then the script gets all the .msu files and stores the names in the array. Using the foreach loop it tries to apply the .msu updates to the local server where the script is running. However when i run the script. It doesn't do anything. Below is the code $from="sourceLocation\*.msu" $to="C:\temp\" Copy-Item $from $to -Recurse -Force $listOfMSUs= (Get-ChildItem –Path $to -Filter "*.msu").Name Write-Host $listOfMSUs if($listOfMSUs) { foreach($msu in $listOfMSUs) { Write-Host "Processing

Say you are scripting in Powershell 4.0 environment and you want to make sure the script works in Powershell 3.0. How do you ensure its backward compatible?. Ok the question as phrased is a little more specific into what you are looking for. Sounds like you are asking for requires . The #Requires statement prevents a script from running unless the Windows PowerShell version , modules, snap-ins, and module and snap-in version prerequisites are met. If the prerequisites are not met, Windows PowerShell does not run the script. That way, while you are scripting, you can enforce the functional

Does anyone have a handy powershell script that gets a set of files from TFS based on a modification date ? I'd like to say "give me all the files in this folder (or subfolder) that were modified after X/Y/ZZZZ" and dump those files to a folder other than the folder they would normally go to. I know enough powershell to hack about and get this done, eventually, but I'm hoping to avoid that. Make sure you have the Team Foundation 2015 Power Tools installed. It comes with a PowerShell snapin. You can run the PowerShell console file right from its startup group or you can execute Add-PSSnapin

I have 200 PC that need to have some specific icons removed. I created a CSV file with the ComputerName (1 name per row) I have another file with the file name of the icon that needs to be removed from the desktops (Shortcut1.lnk, etc). This other file is also a CSV (1 file name per row). How can I run a PowerShell script to remove those icons. (Please note that not all computers in my CSV file maybe turned on. Some maybe off or have network issues). $SOURCE = "C:\powershell\shortcuts" $DESTINATION = "c$\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop" $LOG = "C:\powershell\logs\logsremote_copy.log"

I want to extract and save an .xls file from an email I receive daily. I have a rule set up which saves the email in an Outlook mailbox, within a specific subfolder of the Inbox. The Outlook folder structure looks like this: -> Inbox --> Data (subfolder of "Inbox") ---> ToExtract (subfolder of "Data") I need to extract the .xls file from the "ToExtract" folder. I found a script that does most of the work for me, but it requires the user to supervise the script and manually select which Outlook folder to search. I need to change the script so it just points to the "ToExtract" subfolder. The

To open and read files in powershell I use one of two methods: Get-Content $path or [System.IO.File]::OpenRead($path) While reading a log file that is in use by another process Get-Content doesn't seem to have any issues with it. Then again the powershell cmdlet is slow and uses more memory compared to .NET method. When I try to use .NET method however, I get the following error: "The process cannot access the file 'XYZ' because it is being used by another process." Q1: Why can't .net method access the file whilst powershell cmdlet can? Q2: And how could I read the file with .net method? Since

I'm working on a script for use in Windows 7 and Windows 10 for a Windows Registry search in HKLM:\Software\Classes. So far my code works, but it's extremely slow. It takes about 30 minutes to complete. I need to use Set-Location also to avoid an error with Get-ItemProperty, which occurs because the $path is not a valid object. How can I speed this code up? What's wrong? File regsearch.ps1 ( Mathias R. Jessen's answer applied) Function Get-RegItems { Param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$path, [string]$match) #Set Local Path and ignore wildcard (literalpath) Set-Location -literalpath
