Dynamic Parameter Doesn't Show After Using Validated Set Parameter
Hi all,
I've been playing about with my new New-CompanyADUser cmdlet in our Company-AD module, and I'm experiencing a weird problem with my dynamic parameter: it won't appear at all after I've chosen an option within a validated set parameter that has more than one word.
For example, if I write:
Powershell
New-CompanyUser-UKUser-FirstNameTest-LastNameUser-Title"Office Admin"-ManagerSpiceWorks-FloorAnnexI can then continue using the 'Groups' parameter, which automatically pulls the information from AD, like:
Powershell
New-CompanyUser-UKUser-FirstNameTest-LastNameUser-Title"Office Admin"-ManagerSpiceWorks-FloorAnnex-GroupsAccounts,'Office Admins','26B Street Name'But if I select another option for 'Floor' that has more than one word, I can't call it, like:

Powershell syntax for -Filter
So I want $userDLs to contain all the distribution groups that the $userDN belongs to. If i run:
Powershell
$userDLs=Get-DistributionGroup-Filter{members-eq"CN=My Distinguished,OU=Object,DC=Name,DC=com"}Then $UserDLs contains exactly what I want it to. But if I run:
Powershell
$userDN=get-user$User.SrcName|select-ExpandPropertyDistinguishedName$userDLs=Get-DistributionGroup-Filter{members-eq$userDN}then $userDN is a system.string that contains
Powershell
CN=MyDistinguished,OU=Object,DC=Name,DC=comBut $UserDLs contains a list of groups from, I don't know where, as if it had somehow matched part of the string or something - i don't know. But it's not the groups I'm expecting.
I also tried putting inverted commas around the variable ie

Rename files if already exist while downloading using IWR to single folder
Hi All,
Quick background,
i have a script that i have pieced together that downloads all files and folders and structure that meet the filtering criteria (in this case all files who have column data that contains the "Colour" "Red") within a SharePoint site collection to a local drive. This works fine now. I have created it to log any files and their URL's that can't be downloaded which are over length.
My next task is to redownload these files from the logging list to a Top Level folder. The simplest method i feel is to use Invoke-WebRequest with default creds. I can almost get this to work how i would like, except that as i am downloading to a single folder, there maybe files in the various URL's that have the same name, so currently it is just overwriting any existing files.
I have tried to rename them but this did not work, so instead...

Replacing Reserved Characters in Text Strings
I am working on Adding and replacing text inside of some xml files and am getting hung up on the "<" character (the less than character).
I am just using a simple replace. My line of code is as follows:
Text
(Get-Content $directoryPath) | Select-String -Pattern "" -AllMatches | Replace "", "" | Replace "" "", ""
When I test the script I am seeing the following error: The '<' operator is reserved for future use.
Any suggestions on how to deal with these reserved characters?

Export data from Active Directory by a specific OU and group using PowerShell
Hi all,
I would like to export specific information from AD using PowerShell that is from a specific OU and group that contains only certain information for export such as, Name, Description, whether or not the "user cannot change password" setting is checked, whether or not it's set to NeverExpires, date created and last logon information. I'm not sure quite how to construct the script since I'm fairly new to PS, so any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated.
I've tried something like Get-ADUser -filter * -SearchBase "OU=xxx,OU=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx" | select -exp GivenName,SN,Description,CannotChangePassword,PasswordNeverExpires,accountExpires,lastLogon
It doesn't really do anything
thank you!

Resolving a LOT of DNS
I have almost 16000 URL entries on a blacklist in my firewall (half dozen analysts with varying degrees of experience). I want to turn them into IP address so I can filter out the country codes I already block, of which I have a splunk setup for already. I'm trying to use Resolve-DNS to accomplish this. but the output I want is two columns (Name, IPAddress) and no line breaks in between, if something fails to resolve, forget it and move on: this is what I have, I know I'm missing something stupid:
Powershell

How to copy a powershell locally and then run it upon login
I've recently a powershell script that creates an email signature and sets it as the default, which works perfect. We'd like to implement it company-wide by storing it in our sysvol folder which everyone can access and having group policy take that file, copy it to a users local machine and then run it upon login everytime. We have some users who work off-site on laptops and don't always connect to the VPN so i'd like that file to still be saved locally from the last time they logged in on-site and still be able to use it without having to connect to the VPN.
Would the simplest way to achieve this be to have two Group Policies, one that overwrites that file locally upon login everytime and a second that runs that file upon login? I created the Powershell but do not have much experience in Group Policy.
Thanks

filter multiple properties ?

I like to filter an application to query its uninstall string using Powershell
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select DisplayName,UninstallString
I get the whole list but like to filter it to ONE particular app "PrintForm 2018 CS".
How can I filter the property DisplayName without loosing the property UninstallString ?
I came only so far that I can filter the DisplayName:

Add-VPNConnection PowerShell Script - register IP in DNS
I have created an Add-VPNConnection script that creates an SSTP VPN connection phonebook entry for All Users. I have a way to push it out to the computers in my organization, and all is almost perfect. I have one final detail that I cannot seem to resolve through scripting. I want to set this connection to automatically register in DNS.
This is equivalent to editing the advanced TCP/IP settings in the GUI and checking the box on the DNS tab to "Register this connection's addresses in DNS."
I can't believe that MS omitted this important option from Add-VPNConnection or Set-VPNConnection, and I haven't come across another way to set this.
Any suggestions?

Using powershell to create an outlook signature, write it to a file
So i just created a powershell script that creates a signature based on AD information and writes it to a word doc then runs it and sets the signature as the default. Now i am trying to create another script that does the same thing but instead of running it and setting the default signature it saves the signature it created to a file. I then want to use group policy to run that file on login (for laptop users who are off site and not connected to VPN)
Currently when you login onsite the script is saved from our FS server to your local machine via GPO, then the script is ran locally (via GPO)
For laptop users this wont work because the script cant get the AD info which is why i want a separate GPO for them that calls for that created file.

Build ACL Array then step through and change

I'm stuck at line $acl.SetAccessRule($permissionRule) which gives the error "Exception calling "SetAccessRule" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated."
The get line is commented out on purpose for testing.
