powershell-2.0

I am trying to use PowerShell Remoting to check some disk sizes from a Server in a remote domain, but the commands I am running are failing to work. The situation is like this: Source Server is in Domain A Destination Server is in Domain B There is no trust in place between these domains The Server in Domain B is running Exchange 2010, and I can run Exchange 2010 Specific commands against it from Server A using this command: $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange –ConnectionUri $ConnectionURI -Credential $Credentials -Authentication Basic Import-PSSession $Session The

What is the best way to detect if an error occurs in a script function? I'm looking for a consistent way to indicate error/success status similar to $? (which only works on cmdlets, not script functions). Given a particular function might return a value to be used by the caller, we can't indicate success by returning a boolean. A function could use a [ref] parameter and set the value appropriately inside the function and check after the call, but this is more overhead than I'd like. Is there something built-in to PowerShell that we can use? The best I can come up with is: In the function use

Get-Service *sql* | sort DisplayName | out-file c:/servicelist.txt I have a one line PowerShell script to extract list of all services running on my local machine, now, in addition to displaying "Status", "Name" and "DisplayName" I also want to display "Path to executable" I think you'll need to resort to WMI: Get-WmiObject win32_service | ?{$_.Name -like '*sql*'} | select Name, DisplayName, State, PathName Update If you want to perform some manipulation on the selected data, you can use calculated properties as described here . For example if you just wanted the text within quotes for the

My Powershell script, Foo.ps1: Function Foo($directory) { echo $directory } if ($args.Length -eq 0) { echo "Usage: Foo <directory>" } else { Foo($args[0]) } From the Windows console: powershell -command .\Foo.ps1 Results in: "The term '.\Foo.ps1' 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 that the path is correct and try again." This is despite Foo.ps1 being in the current directory from where I am calling Powershell. I then tried to call it specifying the full path to the script file;

I am not sure if this is possible or not with PowerShell. But basically I have a Windows Forms program that configures a program called EO Server. The EO Server has an API, and I make a reference to EOServerAPI.dll to make the following code run. using EOserverAPI; ... private void myButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { String MDSConnString="Data Source=MSI;Initial Catalog=EOMDS;Integrated Security=True;"; //Create the connection IEOMDSAPI myEOMDSAPI = EOMDSAPI.Create(MDSConnString); //Get JobID Guid myMasterJobID = myEOMDSAPI.GetJobID("myJobRocks"); } Is it possible to interact with an

I need to extract file name and extension from e.g. my.file.xlsx. I don't know the name of file or extension and there may be more dots in the name, so I need to search the string from the right and when I find first dot (or last from the left), extract the part on the right side and the part on the left side from that dot. Maybe there is better solution, but I did'n find anything here or anywhere else. Thank you If the file is coming off the disk and as others have stated, use the BaseName and Extension properties: PS C:\> dir *.xlsx | select BaseName,Extension BaseName Extension -------- ---
