I recall during my powershell training there was a technique or way to have scripts start in order and only start when the first one is completed. For example. Script A calls Script B. Script A will only continue on with next tasks when Script B completes. Each of these scripts are ps1. I am...

Hi can you just do this; $svcIMA = Get-Service spooler | Select-Object Status $svcIMA.Status Running

Pure genius! It worked!

I am trying to run the command below on multiple computers so I want to use invoke-command. It works fine in powershell and command line all by itself. But when I use invoke command and pass variables the nightmare happens.: D:\Apache\bin\httpd.exe -f D:\apacheconfig\www.foo.com\httpd.conf -k...

It works. Thanks man!

Let me get rid of mandatory =false. Thanks for the results.

Hi I have this up top. I do not want it to be mandatory. If the user does not have -foo I want the script to continue to the else statement. param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$false,Position=0)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [String] $foo ) Even just tried param(...

Hi Blister this did not work. I have also tried if (!($foo -eq $NULL)) { first } else { second } however it still returns me to the first if statement regardless if I run my script with parameter or not. Example: .\myscript.ps1 $foo "hello" or .\myscript.ps1 I get...

Hi I am using a parameter called foo which I set to mandatory=$false. This means it is not required. In my script I would like to test if it exists or not and do something if it does. For example if someone runs .\myscripts.ps1 -FOO valueisgiven the scripts will do something if not just...

Sure thing. I rated two yesterday. Set spn is sweet!

Mark thanks for the tip. I think I was over thinking it. ports.txt contains IP:port : 0.0.0.0:13125 IP:port : 0.0.0.0:13126 IP:port : 0.0.0.0:13128 IP:port : 0.0.0.0:13130 IP:port : 0.0.0.0:13131 IP:port : 0.0.0.0:13132 IP:port : 0.0.0.0:13133 IP:port : 0.0.0.0:13134 IP:port : 0.0.0.0:13137...

Hi all I am new to powershell and have a beginner question. I have a variable that is storing a bunch of strings based on a Select-string command-let I use. $results | Select-String 'port' Results in: IP:port : 0.0.0.0:13125 IP:port : 0.0.0.0:13126 IP:port...

I was wondering if there are key function I should be monitoring on DC? (minus hardware and security aspects) I have come up with 4 things: monitor key services DNS WINS etc, replication occurring in a timely manner, dns query functioning, ldap functioning (perform query). The reason I ask is...

I was reading that sometime this might do more harm then good. How does scavenging work do I just flip the switch. What if I have host A records that I have entered manually will those be lost?

Are there any issues that can come out of going from ad integrated dns to non?
