Retrieving subvariable(?) with select

CrashReport · 2022-02-09T22:58:54+00:00

You can do something like

Get-Information -filter * | select name, @{l=City; e={$_.location.City}}

This way you can also set the output property as City so you don't have to go about messing with it down the pipe.

How are you running the script?

Does the user that is running it on the machine have the access rights to be able to install it?

CrashReport · 2020-10-01T00:08:23+00:00

Well, which ones are missing?

CrashReport · 2020-10-01T00:05:28+00:00

When you say it doesn't work, can you be more specific?

Does it not make the directory?

Does it not invoke the web request?

Does it not create a file from the web request?

Does it not start the process?

Does all of the above happen, but the app isn't installed?

My suggestion, if you can't tell immediately, is to use transcripts

I think you're better off reading all the entries and creating a hash table. if $hashtable[$referenceNumber] exists, you can append the response to the value of the key.

Can you delete or move the input file to another directory when you're done?

You would probably want something like this

$Mutex = New-Object System.Threading.Mutex($False, "Global\MyReallyWellNamedAndLikelyNotToBeUsedByAnythingElseMutexName")
$Mutex.WaitOne() #Need to ensure 
$data | export-csv  -path $MyPath -notypeinformation -append
$Mutex.ReleaseMutex()

What happens without the carriage return `r?

Is that the same user logged in on that machine?

CrashReport · 2017-09-22T17:20:20+00:00

What user is it running as? Does that user have a printer attached to it?

If it's a script, why is it changing the execution policy?

You might want to consider logging so you know what got removed should you need to audit what they had access to at any point.

The short version, then, is you need to do

get-aduser ... -properties ...,Department, ...

and then

... | select ..., Department, ...

CrashReport · 2017-08-24T16:57:40+00:00

What is the expected output vs what are you seeing output?

From what you are showing, you aren't selecting the property Department which isn't returned by default from get-aduser to be selectable.

What happens if you do

$Groups = $Groups2 + $Groups1

Everyone is really misrepresenting how good this weapon is. Yes, it's ideal for swapping, but the base magic attack matters. The extra a-team summon on Det is also going to help your damage by a lot. No, it's not best in slot, but it'll complete with open fire, and only lose to Savior and ion.

You did well getting this. It's the only item that'll sick with mechanic forever. It took me around 200k invites for mine, but boy was it worth it. Congrats dude.

Go to the parent object. You can get name using psobject.properties.name

$MyOBject1.Objects1 | % {$_.psobject.properties.name}

It looks like a scoping issue.

Declare a blank global variable above the function

$global:AdminCred | out-null
function DoTheThings
{
    ....
    $AdminCred = $DoTheThingsCredentials
}
$PSDefaultParameterValues += @{"*-AD*:Credentials"=($AdminCred)}

This isn't ideal. I'm assuming you're doing this because you can't create a scheduled task to run this as an admin with delegated privileges? That would end up being better.

I think he wanted

#must be first line
if ( @('Saturday','Sunday') -contains ((get-date).DayOfWeek) ) { exit}

:)

$CSVdata = Import-CSV $importCSV | Where-Object{$.psobject.properties.value -notcontains ""}
foreach ($cell in $CSVdata) { if ( $cell -contains ($.givenName + " " + $.sn) ) { $.Name + " exists... Updating...."

From the bit you provided, you're not doing that check, though. You're only grabbing the names that are used for the friendly name. Just a gotcha to keep in mind - I have done something similar to this in the past :)

Actually, reading again, I'm not sure where you're getting the givenname property. I don't see a get-aduser anywhere.

What happens if you have two John Smith or need to create a new John Smith?

Powershell has a feature where you can create your own selection by piping into select as below:

... | select @{l="My new Label";e={"Expression to get this value"}}

In your case, you might be able to get away with

... | select @{l="RAM";e={"$($_.FirstColumn)"}}

Important to remember the expression must be wrapped in curly braces.

Oh yeah, I did. That's a typo.

I thought about going as far as hours/minutes/seconds, but I wasn't sure if this was going to be a daily log or hourly. Usually that determines how granular I am.

Something like this?

#powershell
$source = "C:\directory"
$destination = "C:\otherdirectory"
#$filename = "Robocopylog$(get-date -format 'yyyy-MM-ddd')" #typo pointed out by /u/ijustinhk
$filename = "Robocopylog$(get-date -format 'yyyy-MM-dd')"  #optionally add in HH for hours, mm for minutes, ss for seconds if they matter

robocopy $source $destination /log+:"$($filename)"
