Hey guys, I have an issue when trying to use the Import-CSV command.

Scenario: I'm running a script that imports a csv file from a network share. This script is running off of a SharePoint Server. It will take the contents of that csv and import it into a list on our SharePoint Server. I am running this script remotely, it works if I am remoted into the SharePoint Server from a PSSession and type the command in as follows: Import-Csv "\\server\share\share\$filename.csv". It just doesn't work inside the script. Also, I have verrified the credentials have access to this netowrk share. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here is the relevant part of the script
add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
$filename = read-host "Please enter the Name of the File"

$contents = Import-Csv "\\server\share\share\$filename.csv"
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity ‘http://Server/'
$list = $web.Lists["SharePointList"]

Here is my output containing the error message
Cannot open file "\\server\Share\Share\Filename deposits.csv".
    + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (:) [Import-Csv], UnauthorizedAccessException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : FileOpenFailure,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportCsvCommand

Goal:

I want to be able to use CAS features to prevent users from executing certain blocks of code in my script.

For example:

How do I prevent user 'network\zmurphey' from executing this code in posh?

function Get-FooBar {
$key = 123
$results = Invoke-WebRequest -method GET -uri foobar.com -Headers @{key = $key}
$results.table
}

And,

Will this user be affected across the entire module? Meaning, will he be able to execute other functions in the same module?

Hi,

I have several scripts that compare today's date to the last day of each quarter to determine what file to log things to and whether or not end-of-quarter e-mails should be sent out.

I need to compare today's date with that of the last day of the quarter.  I know that by default "Get-Date" will return a long date with time (e.g. Monday, October 04, 2010 10:24:22 AM), which is of the typeSystem.DateTime .  This works for date comparison, but doesn't suit my needs.

I know that I can change the format of the date to "10/4/2010" by using "Get-Date -Format d".  The problem is that this returns a result of the type toSystem.String , which doesn't work for date comparison.

I would very grateful for any help.

Thank you.

$Path = 'C:\users\user\adusers.csv'

$users = Import-CSV $Path

foreach ($user in $users) {
$Sam = Get-ADUser $user | fl samaccountname
$RPP = Get-ADUserResultantPasswordPolicy $sam
if ($RPP -ne $null)
{
write-host "$user has a PSO"
}
else {
write-host "$user doesn't have a PSO"
}
}

I am having issues importing this CSV. If I manually build the array with users, it works fine. If I import the CSV I get an error as seen below:

Get-ADUserResultantPasswordPolicy : Cannot bind parameter 'Identity". Cannot convert value "@{samaccountname=user}" to type "Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADUser".

The objective of the script is to import users stored like in individual rows, determine if they have any return when Get-ADUserResultantPasswordPolicy runs with their username (auser) and then to eventually put it into a new csv for viewing.

Like I said, if I create my own array #$users = $("test", "user", "bill", "john") it will work. It only breaks on import of the CSV.

I'm trying to figure out the proper syntax to apply the -Filter attribute in conjunction with a Get-Content cmdlet. 

I've tried several variations of Get-Content -Path myfile.txt -Filter mystring and I get an error message. How is this supposed to work?  I have not found any example anywhere.

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I would like some help from you.

I need to create a script that checks whether a given DLL was "loaded" by a process. To understand, for example, taking into account the image below, we will think that I want to know if the DLL that is selected at the bottom of the image is being"loaded" by the process that is selected at the top of the image below;

I checked several WMI objects (including Win32_Process) and just found the process, I got to see an object (I can not remember the name now) WMI that showed some DLLs, but not the ones that are being "loaded" by a process.

Anyone have any idea how I can create a script that checks this? Which WMI object could give me this information?

Sorry for any translation failures (by google).

I must have read 20 threads on handling spaces in file names, and still do not have a solution.  I've used ampersands, backticks, combinations of double and single quotes, and still can't get the simple script shown below to work with paths/filenames which have spaces.  The PS script below calls the ImageMagick "convert" command.  But when I call the script like this:

IM-append.ps1 C:\Users\bernie\Photo Staging\file1.jpg, C:\Users\bernie\Photo Staging\file2.jpg

It chokes on the space in the "Photo Staging" directory.  Note that the file names need to be comma separated.  How can I pass these file names/paths with spaces?

Having issues figuring this one out on my own.  I need to compare 2 xml files say a baseline.xml and a compare.xml using PowerShell.  Both of these files will have a list of file names using full path and a file hash.  I need to get one object, FilePath, from the compare.xml and search the baseline then compare the hash, if there is a difference not this in an array for later use.  Below are the XML files examples.

Baseline.xml

Team,

I've been working on a form for standard user account creation that I want to make stringent rules on how they are created. Right now, all I've got is some validation checking when the "Create users" button is clicked so that it generates some pop ups if there are errors, but I'm certain there's a way to handle it once the focus is changed or the user tabs out of the box, but I've tried the "CellValidating" event and the "CellFormatting" event, but nothing seems to happen after it changes focus. Not sure what is going on. Below is the code and I really appreciate the help.

$buttonCreateUsers_Click = {
	# Subtracting one from row count so it doesn't try to use the last blank row created during run time operations
	$rowcount = $datagridviewResults.RowCount - 1

	for ($i = 0; $i -lt $rowcount; $i++)
	{
		$EDIPIRegex = "^\d{10}$"
		$EnteredEDIPI = $datagridviewResults.Rows[$i].Cells['EDIPI'].Value
		if ($EnteredEDIPI -notmatch $EDIPIRegex) { [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("EDIPI for $DisplayName must be 10 numeric digits", "Error") }

		$DisplayName = $datagridviewResults.Rows[$i].Cells['LastName'].Value + ", " + $datagridviewResults.Rows[$i].Cells['FirstName'].Value + " " + $datagridviewResults.Rows[$i].Cells['Rank'].Value + " " + $datagridviewResults.Rows[$i].Cells['Title'].Value + " " + $datagridviewResults.Rows[$i].Cells['Organization'].Value

Hi everyone!

I'm creating a script in powershell  to export a virtual machine and delete the oldest folder.

So, we need to run this script everyday and we need to keep just two folders of the exportation.

I'm not an expert in scripting and if someone can help me it will be so good.

Let me explain my "Logic"
 The script will export the virtual machine into the $basedir and the variable $today is to save the folder name with the date.
 The second part is to delete the oldest folder into the $basedir
 The third part is to export the VM
   - This part is not right, i Can export the VM, but i put the variable $today to insert the date with the name of the exportation. I mean "i have a vm called 'VM01' and after the export i would like that folder changes for VM01DATA 'VM01020217'

Can you help me please?

Hi,

I run several VBScripts and windows batch files. I cannot find a command to run for either as an administrator on the local computer that will reboot the machine and not prompt the user for a bitlocker pin when it starts back up. This is needed as i have a job that runs that needs a reboot to continue with several tasks post reboot. Does anyone know if this is achievable as an admin using wither VBScript or a windows batch file? If so, how?

Regards,

Vishay

How do set print spooled documents first using a powershell script?

I am working with success in reading PDF files using the itextsharp.dll.

Below the code fragment, which does this little miracle:

$reader = New-Object iTextSharp.text.pdf.pdfreader -ArgumentList $TestPDF

for ($page = 1; $page -le $reader.NumberOfPages; $page++) {
  $lines = [char[]]$reader.GetPageContent($page) -join "" -split "`n"
   foreach ($line in $lines) {
     $line
   }
}

I want to do nicer things however, and here come my question:

In order to understand better the dll at hand I try the following:

$asm = [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile($ItextSharp)
$asm.GetTypes() | select Name, Namespace | sort Namespace | ft -groupby Namespace

but how do I arrive the the methods and object defined in the dll without desecting the C# code ? unfortunately the dll does not come with a lot of documentation, so I would like to use Powershell board tools to explore what I have in the dll file.

Question I have are: how do I know from the dll that the object I want to create is:iTextSharp.text.pdf.pdfreader ?

Thank you very much for any hint

Yours

Erich

Hello,

So I am trying to remove a large list of computers from Active Directory, and I only have partial names for each (inventory numbers in the middle of the computer name...)

Is there any way to enable wildcards? So far, I have this for the powershell code I'm using: 

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

$computers = get-content C:\computers.txt | Get-ADComputer -Properties ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion
$computers | Set-ADObject -ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion $false
$computers | Remove-ADComputer

I found something online called Globbing, but I'm not sure how to enable it in this case. I'm new to PowerShell and still don't know much.

If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!
