Hi Scripting Guys
I use a lot of tabs in Powershell ISE console in my work, as an Administrator, and every time I close the ISE I need to reopen every tabs that I used before. So my question is:
When I open Powershell ISE can it automatically reopen last tabs, that I used? Can Powershell ISE remember that last used tabs like IE can remember last open browser session?
Best regards,

I'm not entirely sure whether this is the right forum for this question or not, so please point me elsewhere if it's not.
We're trying to set up some WMI filters to watch for malicious use of WMI to launch processes on remote machines. If we create an event filter in the root\subscription namespace using this query:
SELECT * FROM MSFT_WmiProvider_ExecQueryAsyncEvent_Pre WHERE ObjectPath="Win32_Process" AND MethodName="Create"
Together with an appropriate NtEventLogEventConsumer and FilterToConsumerBinding, we can use the InputParameters.CommandLine property of the extrinsic event to extract the called command line, as long as WMI (the Invoke-WMIMethod powershell cmdlet specifically) is used to call Win32_Process.Create(). However, we see some strange behavior if we use CIM to invoke Win32_Process.Create() (Invoke-CIMMethod).
In that case, the InputParameters object returned by the MSFT_WmiProvider_ExecQueryAsyncEvent_Pre event is either entirely populated with null values (if the Invoke-CIMMethod cmdlet is the first one run in the session) or populated with the values from the previous event (if the Invoke-WMIMethod cmdlet was called earlier).
Does anyone on here have a potential explanation for this inconsistent behavior? Or can recommend an alternate method for capturing the process creation event that will yield the called command line in all cases?
Hi,

Hi Folks,
I am writing a PS script that imports values from a Csv file. I need a way to generate a message if the Input value is not right or is empty.
Can you please suggest what code should I write for that -
The testfile.csv has 3 headings namely name, description, title
Here's an example code -
$Input = Import-Csv "C:\testfile.csv"
ForEach ($Item in $Input)
$Name = $Item.name
$Desc = $Item.description
$Title = $Item.title
if($Title -contains "" -or $Title -isnot "Director" -or $Title -isnot "VP")
{
Write-Host "User is a Normal Employee"
}
So on and so forth. The exception that gets generated says something like -
"Cannot convert the "Agent " value of type "System.String" to type "System.Type""
I gave it an input with spaces at the end in the title column of the Csv file.
Please advise.
Hello,
I wonder if 1 thing is possible to be done by ICALS.
On my FS (main folder and all subfolders with files) I need to change all permission for all groups and users from write to read excluding administrators group.
But I dont want to change anything else, if they have listening they should still have the listening, not the read. Just need to change from write to read.
Thx for any help in that subject

I have a Powershell program that deletes old backup files from various Instances that are older than say 30 days.
This works perfectly well on a SQL server 2008R2 running on a windows 2008.
When it was moved to SQL2014 running on a 2012 server this does not work.
It seems the following part barfs as the $startingpath is an UNC path
Get-ChildItem $startingpath -recurse -filter *.bak | Sort-Object -Property LastWriteTime | ?{$_.lastwritetime -lt(get-date).adddays(-$numdays)} | remove-item -force | out-null;
Any idea on how to overcome this issue?
Thanks
Jay
I have been using EventLogs commands in my scripts since al least version 3. but with the new powershell 6 core, they don't seem to be available. If not, why? If they are, Where are they and how do I use them?
Thanks.
Hi,
There is probably a really simple solution to this problem but I can't seem to find the answer.
I need to replace the UNC path in a file with another path but when I do I get four backslashes for the \\path and two backslashes for the path dividers in the output, see the script and output here;
Script:
$FilePath = "C:\folder"
$datlive = [regex]::Escape('dat-drive=\\server\folder\folder\')
$PFdatlive = [regex]::Escape('dat-drive=\\domain\dfsroot\share\folder\')
(Get-Content ($FilePath + "\file.ini")) | Foreach-Object {$_ -replace $datlive, $PFdatlive} | Set-Content ($Filepath + "\file.ini")
Output:
dat-drive=\\\\domain\\dfsroot\\share\\folder\\
How can I stop this happening and make the path set as \\domain\dfsroot\share\folder\
Thank you
Greg
Hi,
I am looking for a VBS script which lists all AD comoputers (as txt or csv file output) related to any give registry key. The output file should include computer netbios or computer FQDN, IP address and registry ckeck status (yes or no).
Why not Powershell script?
Because we have many servers which has only Powershell 2.0, not the newer powershell versions. I could not list these servers using newer powershell version. Perhaps somebody has another idea?!
Best regards

I have two variable $server, $type, which both have the same amount of lines, I want to join them with a ',' delimiter. I'm struggling to use the correct combination or foreach and interation. below is examples of the output data and my code I've tried. I think I need a -join but I'm struggling to get it to work correct. How do I join these to variable to get my desired result below?
Example outputs from variables:
$server ------- server1 server2 $type ------ windows dnmp
Example code I've tried recently:
$agentserver = foreach($i in $server){foreach($j in $type){$i + ($j++)}}
Output I'm trying to get:
server1,windows
server2,ndmp
I have one requirement is like server example ip is 192.168.22.1 and port 50000 to 50119 how I write script for save my time.

Morning,
I am new to scripting and my office has requested that 2 pieces of software (Mcafee antivirus and globalprotect vpn) be installed as part of our imaging process. I have started the first portion but I do not know how to start the installer for the second program after the first program finishes. also, how would I make a small box saying "installing...Mcafee/Global protect?
here is an example of the code I'm using to try installing:
Function installMcafeeGlobalProtect

dim commandLine, WshShell
set wshshell = wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")
wshshell.currentdirectory = "C:\temp\framepkg.exe""
commandLine = "C:\temp\framepkg.exe"
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Call WshShell.Run (commandLine,8,false)
set WshShell=Nothing
I very often connect my Lumia 950 phone to a PC for the purpose of transferring (moving) files from the phone to the PC.
I'd like to script that so that I don't have to open File Explorer, navigate to the phone's root, then to the phone's µSD, then to the appropriate folder, then select the files, and finally move them to the target location.
Can this be done, preferably in PowerShell?
