powershell-2.0

I'm writing a PowerShell script to make several directories and copy a bunch of files together to "compile" some technical documentation. I'd like to generate a manifest of the files and directories as part of the readme file, and I'd like PowerShell to do this, since I'm already working in PowerShell to do the "compiling". I've done some searching already, and it seems that I need to use the cmdlet "Get-ChildItem", but it's giving me too much data, and I'm not clear on how to format and prune out what I don't want to get my desired results. I would like an output similar to this: Directory

I'm currently working on a deployment script that will take my site, export it from svn, remove any testing files etc in it, minify the javascript/css, copy the code to a remote web server, and then switch the physical path of the existing site to the new directory. So far I have everything working except for switching the physical directory in IIS. $IIsServer = Get-WmiObject Site -Namespace "root/WebAdministration" -ComputerName $serverIP -Credential $credentials -Authentication PacketPrivacy $site = $IIsServer | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $siteName} When I look into the values I have I cant

How do I find which Windows version I'm using? I'm using PowerShell 2.0 and tried: PS C:\> ver The term 'ver' 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, verify tha t the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:4 + ver <<<< + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (ver:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException How do I do this? Jeff Mercado Since you have access to the .NET library, you could access the OSVersion property of the System.Environment

I have an email that works from PS. What I have been trying to do is include images embedded in the email (not attachments). Below is what I have so far: function Email { $smtpServer = {smtp server} $smtpFrom = {email from} $smtpTo = {email to} $messageSubject = "test" $message = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage $smtpfrom, $smtpto $message.Subject = $messageSubject $message.IsBodyHTML = $true $credentials=new-object system.net.networkcredential({smtpUsername},{smtpPassword}) # $message.Body = Get-Content "D:\Program Files\CymbaTech_FBNC_AM\CTDataLoader\data\TestBody.html" # The line

I'm using powershell to develop a little tool with graphic interface and I'm going crazy with this issue... For example: I have a label on a form that display "real-time" status of a ping. In the same time, if you click on the label, a popup message is displayed. function GoogleStatus ($Label) { $Google = "www.google.com" If (Test-Connection -ComputerName $Google -Count 1 -Quiet) {Label.Text = "Yes"} else {Label.Text = "No"} } function HelloMsg { [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Hello","Funny Window",0,32) } [void] [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
