Helou Guys, 

pls, how can set a default value from combox?

Here is a part of the code

$TaskSequence_Selector_Array = @("Task Sequence 1","Task Sequence 2")
$TaskSequence_Selector = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
$TaskSequence_Selector.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,35)
$TaskSequence_Selector.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(180,20)
$TaskSequence_Selector.DropDownHeight = 200
$TaskSequence_Selector.Text = "Choose Task Sequence:"
$TaskSequence_Selector.DropDownStyle = [System.Windows.Forms.ComboBoxStyle]::DropDownList;
$TaskSequence_Selector.SetSelected(1,$true)
$TaskSequence_Selector.Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font("Arial",10,[System.Drawing.FontStyle]::Regular)
    foreach($TaskSequence_DropDown in $TaskSequence_Selector_Array){
        $TaskSequence_Selector.Items.Add($TaskSequence_DropDown)
    }
$Form_MainWindow.Controls.Add($TaskSequence_Selector) 

Now the ComboBox is blank

How to make some value as default, for example 'Task Sequence 1'?

Thanks for help.

Hello there! I'm having a problem with the security in Windows. I need to give specific SELF permissions in every user of my Active Directory. Through GUI I've written this permissions in one user, but I need to give those permissions to another 1300 users.

I'm using PowerShell to write this script but after googling a lot, I can't manage it to work because I don't really understand every type of data that uses every command. I got this right now:

import-module activedirectory
$ace = (get-acl "ad:CN=XXX,OU=prueba,DC=test,DC=es")
$users = get-aduser -searchbase "OU=test-uo,OU=prueba,DC=test,DC=es" -filter *

foreach ($user in $users) {
    $acl = (get-acl ad:$user)
    $acl.AddAccessRule(($ace.access |  where { $_.IdentityReference -eq 'NT AUTHORITY\SELF' }))
    set-acl -AclObject $acl $user
}

If someone can help me or point me in the right direction I would really apreciate it.

See you.

Referring to following link, after running those coding, I would like to know on why not able to change timer for screensaver.

I have a CSV file that looks like this:

fname1lname1@companyemail.com 

fname2lname2@companyemail.com  ...

I would like to loop through each email address and query AD for that address and then copy theemployeenumber attribute value to employeeid attribute in AD for each email address in the csv file.

Hello All,

In the following article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj130668(v=ws.10) it is advised to "Monitor Active Directory dSASignature has been set for each naming context (NC) on each domain controller being backed up in the forest."

Does someone how to decode the value in dSASignature attribute to find when naming context was backed up. If we use an repadmin /showbackup * we get all the needed information, but if this value can be decoded inside an VBscript this would be lot more easier to manage rather than redirecting the output of repadmin to an text file and parsing the output of all DCs to know which NC was backed when.

Thanks In Advance

Hello, I need to know if there is a script out there that can find builtin\Authenticated Users permissions assigned in file system folders and change its permissions?  

We have set builtin\Authenticated Users on various folders within file shares to List folder/Read data access only.  We need to now find these folders that have Authenticated Users permissions assigned and change them to Read access (includes: List folders/read access, Read attributes, Read Extended Attributes).  

This is on a new NAS server that does not behave like previous NAS servers.  So we now need to reset Authenticated Users permissions in order to allow the same access as before.

If this can only be done using software please help point me in the right direction.

Thanks for any help that I can get on this issue.  

I am looking to do a script for the following

1. Repair pst file, no backup, repeat until no errors
2. Archive sent items older than 60 days to certain path
3. Archive deleted items older than 60 days to certain path
4. Compact pst file
5. send log of this to email

I would like to get this done without the use of commercial utils and just nice clean scripting

Hi ,

Looking for an option to user credential in powershell in more secure way.

it's possible to use administrative tools services for shutdown etl trace like :

VsEtwService120

Wecsvc

WdiSystemHost

diagnosticshub.standardcollector.service

DPS

WdiServiceHost

EventSystem

VSStandardCollectorService150

but do Wecsvc or eventlog are the best choice for unload all etl trace and all session are off line ? the problem is if not i load my script on offline user session using a tool like windows pe. 

Hi All,

I have written the below as .bat script to load the registry and give permissions.

cpau -u Service -p "password" -ex "cmd /c sleep 2" -lwp -wait

reg load HKLM\Service_USER "%SystemDrive%\Users\Service\NTUSER.DAT"

setacl -on "hklm\Service_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" -ot reg -actn ace -ace "n:.\Service;p:full"

When run this script am getting below  error:

CPAU V01.11.00cpp

Current Security Context: Administrator
Process Created...
The command completed successfully.
ERROR: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
SetACL finished with error(s): 
SetACL error message: Opening a registry key failed
Operating system error message: The system cannot find the file specified.

I tried to give sleep 100 command after registry load(reg load) thinking that it is taking time to load NTUSER.DAT but still am getting the same error.

If anyone have the idea to solve the issue. Please share the ideas.

Thanks,

Looking to piece together two things:

The get-process command - which will list running processes on a device, and the get-nettcpconnection - which will show ports that, based on the filter/command, are listening.

What I'm finding is that when I manually enter the commands I want to a command line - the output is readable and useful.

When I pipe the commands to a variable (to step through each line when required), the output is less than visually appealing - while I know what I'm looking at, the folks I would turn this over to may initially *not*.

What is it about the way I'm doing this that is creating aesthetically unfriendly output? 

Thanks in advance, I appreciate all suggestions, pointers and information

$listenerlist = (get-nettcpconnection | ? State -Like Listen | Sort-Object OwningProcess)
foreach ($listeneritem in $listenerlist)
    {
    write-host ""
    Write-Host $listeneritem
    (Get-Process -Id $listeneritem.OwningProcess | Sort-Object Name)
    }

Sample Output:

MSFT_NetTCPConnection (InstanceID = "0.0.0.0??8194??0.0.0.0??0")
    393      31     6412      11460             15248   0 RouterNT     

Hi guys,

I need a powershell script to restart computers that have been up for over three days forcefully.

I have the Vbs script below; however when I apply the script as a policy, the computers are in a continuous restart loop.

Kindly help to fix

I created the following PowerShell script with an infinite loop to provide a log of when we are experiencing a NSlookup failure.

The script works great and the resulting log file is exactly what we need to give to the hardware firewall supplier to prove the hardware firewall is causing the intermittent webpage connection failures. The only problem with running the script is the fact that the memory usage grows until the system slows down and other users complain. Overnight the memory usage grew to 30 GB. After searching online, I have been unable to find a solution. What needs to be changed in the script to stop the large memory usage? Thanks for your help with this.

Hello everyone :), 

I am building a powershell script that make my job more optimal.

My powershell script connect to MSol service. But i am trying to use a csv file wich contains name, username, and password of Office365 tenant of the client.

csv file have 3 headers : Nom,username,mdpasse and when i type the name (nom) i got the good informations.

In first, the script ask for the name of client, and then search in the file the good row, wich contains informations about the client (username and password). Now the script works, he find informations about the client, but it format the result as table or with @and brackets.

So i did some modifications in the script but i know this is not the good way to do because he let some space in the result.

My script 

$choixDuClient = Read-Host "Veuillez ecrire en minuscules le nom du client "

$motdepasseUtilisateur = $importLogins | Where-Object Nom -eq $choixDuClient | Select-Object mdpasse | % { ($_ | Out-String).Trim() -replace '@\{|\}' } | % { ($_ | Out-String).Trim() -replace 'mdpasse' } | % { ($_ | Out-String).Trim() -replace '--------' }

Sorry for my English.

Can you help me please?

Hi Scripting Guys!

I need to verify if thousands of pictures on a remote disk exists somewhere on my laptop.

So basically I need to compare two very different directorystructures.

I think this is a little bit complex, since I have to import the .csv to Powershell - for every single filename I need to make a recursive search in my laptop.

On the external disk I have approx 100.000 pictures, but the directorystructure on this disk is much different than the structure on my computer.

I have extracted all the filenames from this external disk in a .csv file.

For every single filename listed in the .csv file - I need to know if the files exists somewhere on my laptop, and the whole directory.

It´s necessary for me to know, if there are any files, that are missing on my laptop.

This is the structure of my .csv file:

IMG_4762.JPG

Hello,

Hands and feet technician chiming in from Montreal.

Love how powershell smoothes out repetitive and time consuming tasks.

Buenas Noches, cómo va? Les cuento, tengo un archivo Excel con datos (Nombre y Apellido, email, link de CV, Link de audio, etc). Necesito realizar un script que abra este archivo, lea linea por linea y ejecute lo siguiente: busque los datos, cree una carpeta en el directorio principal con el nombre y apellido de la persona que esta leyendo, descargue el link del CV y los guarde en su directorio, etc). Al terminar, que lea la siguiente linea del archivo Excel.

Existe una forma de hacerlo? Por ejemplo: powershell, java, php, etc?

Les agradezco me puedan ayudar.

Saludos
