I suspect that the best way to do it is to install the Exchange admin tools on your local machine. Each job will have to install the Exchange snapin (jobs run in a separate PowerShell process) and run...

Hi Richard,Though I understood that you are asking me to use “StartService” Method, which I can get when I pipe “Get-WmiObject Win32_Service” to Get-Member, but am unable to figure out how to do...

% is an alias for ForEach-Object. I haven’t used these IIS-related commands before, but you may not need ForEach-Object at all. Try this (both in remoting and locally): gci IIS:\apppools |...

Interesting, removing “%,Foreach-object” does work in both cases (remotely and on console). Wondering what is going on in background. So powershell when piping any collection to another cmdlet...

Give this a try: Get-WmiObject win32_service -Filter "startmode = 'auto' and state != 'running'" -computername (Get-Content C:\ServerList.txt) | ForEach-Object { $result = $_.StartService() # You can...
View Articleparameter: how to require either one or the other but not both
So I’m making my first cmdlet and I’m using the chance to rewrite an old vbscript and improve it. I want to require either a username, or an employeeid parameter. I can’t find the syntax for making...

You really only need ForEach-Object if you’re doing something more complex, or if the command you want to pipe input to does not support pipeline input. Restart-WebAppPool does support piping the -Name...

You can do this using parameter sets. By putting each parameter in one set and not the other, PowerShell will take care of the rest. You may want to define a default parameter set, as well: function...

Brilliant One Dave! Thank You very much! It really made the one liner script work, but now I have a new problem….After doing the one-liner script, though it started the services on remote computers,...

Awesome, thanks for the quick answer. After watching both the MVA’s on powershell, I’m really enjoying how much you can do with it. It’s much better than vbscript.

Here’s a fairly straightforward way of outputting the errors if the StartService method failed. It doesn’t take any action, just displays the error on screen. The WMI methods return Win32 error codes,...

I’ll test this when I’m at home tonight, but I suspect that you actually can use Start-Service on remote computers. You’d just need to pipe it objects obtained from Get-Service, not from...

But isn’t it correct that …. to get details about “Automatic” services, we have to use “WMI-Object”, as Get-Service can only provide “Name” , “Status” & “DisplayName” properties for a service, but...

Your main problem is that the CSV file is basically a flat structure, but the security objects aren’t flat at all. The Get-ADPermission cmdlet returns objects of type ADAcePresentationObject. The...
