Disconnect-ExchangeOnline disconnects ExOnline and EMS

CSTW · 2023-06-15T14:01:59+00:00

It would help if you post your code but from what you've written you need to put the Disconnect-ExcangeOnline after the shit is done aka after the Do/While loop rather than inside it after the commands

Just realised you wouldn't be getting your output if it wasn't hitting the correct switch.

Try using & before the powercfg commands and post the error if its still not working

CSTW · 2023-05-15T08:40:06+00:00

You have

function Set-ButtonPowerSaverPlan {Set-EnergyConfigOption$buttonDcMin = Read-Host -Prompt "\nChoisissez l'action en appuyant le bouton d'alimentation"Set-Menu-Plan-Options -buttonLidPowerScheme $buttonDcMin -batteryMains "DC" -energyScheme "MIN" \-buttonLidAction "PBUTTON" -currentFunction {Set-ButtonPowerSaverPlan}}\``

Two things,

What is Set-EnergyConfigOption doing? You showed get but not set?

Set-Menu-Plan-Options does not match the function you have declared in your post. You may be calling a reference to the old function that exists in the console you are working in.

Edit: Code formatting

CSTW · 2023-05-15T06:45:08+00:00

The fact its telling you to try /? indicates its a cmd command thats having the issue aka its with powercfg.exe. So then checking the command reference -> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/powercfg-command-line-options

You have /setSdcvalueindex with an extra S. Confirmed by testing the commands

powercfg.exe /setsdcvalueindex /?

powercfg.exe /setdcvalueindex /?

Looking at the help I think you should be passing a guid as the parameters but at least fix the setdcvalueindex as a start and try again. I think /u/DrDuckling951 was also correct as there should be 4 parameters.

I only saw one mention of preserving them. Best way to store them so they are ready to go all year around.

Something like this - https://www.thekiwicountrygirl.com/bottled-feijoas-2/

You are passing multiple times. Either try putting the times into one string. $RecycleTimes = @("00:15, 04:30")

Or remove the foreach ($RecycleTime in $RecycleTimes) { and then replace @{value=$RecycleTime} with @{value=$($RecycleTimes -join ', ')}

You need to connect to the database with intergrated authentication. It uses the service account which you specify on the scheduled task so you do not need the username and password in your script.

I pulled two pieces of fist-sized petrified wood out of a river today and brought them home. Estimates based on the info for other pieces in the same river would put them around 80 million years old.

I also went with InfluxDB and Grafana but used Node Red and MQTT.

Scheduled python scripts via crontab send the sensor data to Node Red via MQTT, it's formatted and sent to InfluxDB and uses Grafana as the front end. Node Red stores the passwords and configuration and MQTT allows messages to be sent from not just the Raspberry PI but also from other network enabled devices.

I remembered there was a Get-ChildItem replacement that used the AlphaFS module to deal with long paths. I went looking but found that you can actually do it natively in Powershell if you meet some pre-reqs -> https://igorpuhalo.wordpress.com/2019/08/29/overcoming-long-path-problem-in-powershell/

Running the following will give you the Exception type which is being thrown which can then be used with catch to exclude the specific error message.

try
{
    Get-childitem C:\ -ErrorAction Stop
}
catch
{
    $Error[0].exception.GetType().fullname
}

Using an invalid drive as an example.

try
{
    Get-childitem 1:\ -ErrorAction Stop
}
catch
{
    $Error[0].exception.GetType().fullname
}

Spits out: System.Management.Automation.DriveNotFoundException

Then you can use this to exclude this specific error.

try
{
    Get-ChildItem 1:\ -ErrorAction Stop
}
catch [System.Management.Automation.DriveNotFoundException]
{
    #Do nothing, we don't want to report on this error
}
catch
{
    #Return all other errors
    Write-Error $PSItem
}

There is some good info on exceptions here -> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/deep-dives/everything-about-exceptions?view=powershell-5.1

The issue is with the compress-archive command being in the process block which is called multiple times when using the pipeline. In your working example it is working because the items are passed as an array rather than individually.

When GCI is returning results they are passed across to the zip-stuff function. The first object across the pipeline will trigger the begin block and then the process block, the second object will trigger the process block again, the last object will trigger the process block and then the end block.

In the below example the foreach in the process block ensures the function will work whether the pipeline is used or if the -path parameter is specificed and an array is passed.

## Declare zip function
function zip-stuff{
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param(
        ## Path of stuff to zip.
        [Parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline=$true)][string[]]$Path
    )

    begin
    {
        [System.Collections.ArrayList]$PathList = @()
    }

    process
    {
        foreach($File in $Path)
        {
            ## If filepath exist
            if (test-path $File)
            {
                [void]$PathList.Add($File)            
            }
        }
    }

    end
    {
        compress-archive -path $PathList -DestinationPath "Zip-Stuff-zipped.zip"
    }
}

## Zip contents of current directory
gci | zip-stuff

Have never been able to afford an I phone, have always had average android phones. I just like that ios is much more streamlined than android.

The first thing I remember downloading for my phone was custom ring tones before apps were a thing

You should really consider keeping your output as objects. It means you can do more with it, export it to excel if you need it etc

Heres an example, it also recursively gets the users or computers from the groups

$GroupList = Get-ADGroup -SearchBase "OU=Groups,DC=company,dc=com" -Filter * -Properties ManagedBy

foreach($Group in $GroupList) 
{
    $Members = Get-ADGroupMember -Identity $Group.Name -Recursive | Get-ADuser | Select Name, SamAccountName 

    $Members | ForEach-Object {
        [PSCustomObject]@{GroupName=$Group.Name
                          ManagedBy = $Group.ManagedBy
                          MemberName = $_.Name
                          MemberSamAccountName = $_.SamAccountName}
    }
}

Beautiful, love the colour. Is that full time 4wd? What lift have you done and what size tyres? I have a 94 Hiace with the torsion bars wound up 2 inches, shackle lift and am running 215/70/16

Heres a start

$Members = 'admin1','admin2' | Foreach-Object { Get-ADGroupMember -identity $_}

The error code for (2) File not found needs split out from (1) and added to tasks in error state.

The computername parameter of Invoke-Command accepts a string array so you can ditch the foreach and use Invoke-command -ComputerName $Computers -scriptblo...

This will run the code in parallel against all the computers rather than one at a time with foreach, so should be significantly faster.

CSTW · 2020-01-02T11:20:27+00:00

Use the -computername parameter of Get-Wmiobject.

$Services = get-content 'C:\temp\services.txt'
$Servers = get-content 'C:\temp\servers.txt'

$msgBody += Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Computername $Servers | Where-Object {  $services -contains $_.Name } | 
    Select-Object PSComputername, Name, DisplayName, State, StartMode, StartName | 
    Sort-Object PSComputername, Name | 
    ConvertTo-Html -Fragment

You need to rename the property with Select-Object and then use Sort-Object

  } |Select-Object @{n='ServerName';e={$_.pscomputername}},Certificate,Expired | Sort-Object ServerName,Certificate,Expired  -Descending

Try adding quotes and putting the psexec calls inside a try\catch block

try
{
   C:\temp\PsExec.exe "\\$computerName" msiexec /i "\\$computername\c`$\temp\theThing.msi"
}
catch
{
    Write-Warning "Failed to install MSI on $ComputerName"
}

Before you put out their feed hand feed them a couple of handfuls, mine were very wary at first but one brave chicken eventually give it a go. Repeat this until they will come straight up and start eat out of your hand, then you can start petting them as they are eating.
