I haven't tried this myself, but looking at the help the following seems to be the issue. Start-Process expects the program to run (the -FilePath parameter) to be just the program and nothing else. There is a separate parameter to Start-Process, -ArgumentList, which can be used to pass...

There's also a -Split operator that can do simple matches as well as regexp. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd347708.aspx or http://tasteofpowershell.blogspot.com/2009/08/string-manipulation-splitting-and.html for some possibilities.

I think the problem is your $configFiles=get-childitem... line. The Out-File cmdlet is an "end-of-line" cmdlet, it produces the file but doesn't pass along any objects through the pipeline. I think if you examine $configFiles after that statement you'll find it either empty or actually null...

PowerShell actually has a native command for getting process information, Get-Process. Since it returns objects, it's a little easier to work with than parsing the strings. For things that don't have native PowerShell equivalents, there are commands such as Select-String for the equivalent of...

I think what you want to use is what is known as splatting. I haven't tried it, but start with this "Hey, Scripting Guy!" article (and there's a link to other articles about splatting)...

Wotsit, I ran your script exactly as shown in your second post and it worked just fine for me. Did you run it exactly (same directory, same files, same account with permissions to access remote registry) as before?

Here's one way to do it. The extra variable $outstring helps keep the output to one line for each entry $Value=$ReadUninstall.GetValue("DisplayName") $outstring = "$computername,$value" out-file -filepath c:\path\filename.txt -encoding ascii -append -inputobject $outstring

Several methods I've run across won't automatically evaluate expressions such as what you have in your Create ("cn=" + $UserName). If you're working with strings you can see if the PowerShell automatic string expansion will get it, or create the full string before you call the method. See if...

This script is bare-bones but will do it param( $infile = $(throw "Please specify an input filename"), $outfile ) if ($outfile -eq $null) { $outfile = $infile } $content = Get-Content $infile $content = $content -replace '&', '&' $content | Set-Content $outfile...

Here's a sample script that should do what you want: $files = get-childitem \\server1\share1\*.txt foreach ($file in $files) { $basename = $file.BaseName if (-not(test-path -path \\server2\share2\$basename)) { mkdir \\server2\share2\$basename } move-item $file...

Does the account used to run the scheduled task have at least Modify permission to the C:\Scripts folder? From your description it sounds like it only has permission to create files and not also delete, which would be required to overwrite the existing file.

I'm sure there's a better way to do it, but see where this leads you gci *.txt | foreach {$n = $_.FullName; if ($n.Length -gt 20) {write-host "$n $($n.Length)"}}

It's an evaluation issue. I don't have the full answer, but try this: Write-Host "\\appsrv1\$($item.Folder)\$($item.File)"

From your description, it doesn't sound like an Execution Policy issue. That only controls whether scripts can run or not. Execution Policy does not affect running commands directly, such as your embedded command. It seems more like a permissions issue with non-Administrator accounts. Maybe...

Can you provide a sample of the XML file?

Shouldn't this line: $Bios = gwmi -class Win32_BIOS -Comp $_ be this? $Bios = gwmi -class Win32_BIOS -Comp $strComputer

Right off hand I don't see that you can dig that deeply. The cmdlet Get-MailboxFolderStatistics will get you folder names and the counts within the folders: Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -identity mailboxalias | Select Identity, ItemsInFolder But it doesn't appear to let you step through the...

I think the double-quotes are part of the output from Export-CSV, probably to avoid issues with commas within fields. Probably your better bet is going to be to store the information in an array, and then output the array at the end of the script. You can see thread1619-1637606 for one example...

The Export-CSV cmdlet has a -Delimiter parameter which allows you to specify delimiters other than the comma. You should be able to do this in your second script: $files | select $db.name, Name, Filename, Size | Export-CSV -delimiter "|" -path "C:\DBFiles.txt" -notypeinformation
