Hi,

I'm currently having issues with renaming a network adapter, i'm trying to rename an adapter to the work 'MAIN' i've tried many different options for example this one i tried this.

https://superuser.com/questions/1267288/network-name-assigned-to-non-existent-object

And also a few other GUID fixes but for some reason this name is out there and i've even went a ahead and wiped the whole registry and still it remains.

Any idea?

Hi guys,

I have a certain amount of computers that have all this syntax: NI020P-NIC-YXXX where "XXX" is the number that identifies the computer. I am looking for assistance in creating a VBS script that'll read the computername off of it and append the last 3 digits to a file that has this info:

<UPCSettings>
  <myPhoneNumber value="9990005078026xxx" />
</UPCSettings>

Where "xxx" should be the same number read off of the computername.

Might be simple, or not... but I have no clue on how to do it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Pin-App "ALIAS" -unpin | Some apps cannot be unpinned w/ this CMDLET

February 27, 2019, 8:15 am
$
0

I do not know if this is by design OR a flaw in the CMDLET itself OR the CMDLET is going by a different name than what is being presented in the start menu (sometimes).

I've attempted to run the CMDLET to show all installs apps with their GUID and App Names, but even when I go by the app name from that result...still no cigar - it's not all apps, and I can't seem to determine what differentiates an app that can be unpinned by this CMDLET vs an app that cannot be unpinned by this CMDLET.

I've noticed that the Pin-App "ALIAS/NAME" -unpin does NOT unpin just any app, and I have yet to completely determine the rhyme or reason. I've read in other threads that the CMDLET only works for "INSTALLED" apps; I've proven this wrong as the CMDLET is unable to -unpin the Microsoft Whiteboard app which is a natively installed app of Windows 10. Maybe the app doesn't work for natively installed apps or "links".

I tried to include a picture below for reference/example of what I'm referring to, but my account needs to be "verified".

Thoughts?

How to check if a specific AD account belongs to a AD group from list?

Hello All!

I'm wondering if there is a powershell script to check a specific account from belongs to a certains groups (list of groups in CSV format). For the purpose of my lab the following command sequence does not works for that.

Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -identity user1 | select samaccountname

The idea is to make the inverse, export all groups of the domain and check if the user belongs to them. Why? the reason is the user is not member of the domain where the groups are.

I hope you can give me a hand, thank you in advance.

Log Output

Looking for a way to output the following Exchange code to a csv file, running into some issues along the way. The following code reads in all servers with Transport Service to scan all message tracking logs, then loops through them with the input. I am only concerned with SEND and DELIVER here, no other event ID's.


$servers = Get-TransportService | select -ExpandProperty Name
foreach ($server in $servers)
{
   Get-MessageTrackingLog -Server $server -Sender user@company.com -Start 2/22/2019 -End 2/26/2019 -ResultSize Unlimited | where {$_.eventid -eq "SEND" -or $_.eventid -eq "DELIVER"}
}

What I would like to do is take the final output of this command and feed it to a csv file. The loop is making this a bit tricky.

Hi Everyone, 

I have a WPF GUI with a checkbox and a button. When I press the button, I want it to check if the checkbox is checked or not.

I have tried the following code but to no avail:

$syncHash.Button.Add_Click({
    if ($syncHash.Checkbox.IsChecked){}

    if ($syncHash.Checkbox.Checked){}
})

In fact, nothing is showing up under the .isChecked option whilst running the script.

Can anyone shed a little light on this for me?

Thank you :)

Hello,

When I execute the following command from a script

invoke-command -<g class="gr_ gr_90 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling" data-gr-id="90" id="90">computername</g> $Servername -ScriptBlock {Set-Service -Name $name -Status Running} -Credential $MyCredentials

I get the following error:

Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Name' because it is null.

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [Set-Service], ParameterBindingValidationException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationErrorNullNotAllowed,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetServiceCommand

    + PSComputerName        : xxxxxxxxx

 

Variables $name has a value ( I print the variable $name just before executing the command) of the service that I want to start on $Servername. If I remover the variable and hard code the service name it works. So, I know it's not an access issue. 

Any guidance will be appreciated!

Question about the Get-DnsClientCache Section property

June 20, 2016, 2:24 pm
$

I noticed when parsing output from Get-DnsClientCache in PowerShell 4 is that the command displays the "Section" values inconsistently.  Using 'Get-DnsClientCache' will display the 'Section' property as a string (such as 'Answer'), where 'Get-DnsClientCache | Select Section' will display it as an integer (such as '1').

I wasn't able to find the answer through PowerShell help or googling.  I did notice that the mousing over the Intellisense prompt in the ISE lists the property as type 'Byte', so I assume that the command is automatically converting it for display. Per TechNet, the Section parameter will accept Answer, Authority, or Additional, and I've found that '0' is returned for records with status of 'NotExist' and that '1' is returned for 'Answer' records.  Does anyone know which numbers correspond to Authority and Additional?
