Run Powershell Script task sequence

Hi,
Anyone have good documentation on how to use the Run PowerShell Script task sequence ?
Thanks

If you are just interested in running a powershell command without creating a package, you can do this with the the Command line step by using this format in the command line:
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy bypass -Command "& {your powershell commands}"
Here is an example of a multiline command to increase the agents cache size. Notice the ";"'s which are used to delineate a new line.
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy bypass -Command "& {$UIResourceM gr = New-Object -ComObject UIResource.UIResourceMgr;$Cache = $UIResourceMgr.GetC acheInfo();$Cache.TotalSize = "20480"}"

Passing parameters with spaces to SCCM Run PowerShell Script task

I am working on an OS deployment task sequence in SCCM 2012 R2 with several Run PowerShell Script tasks. Most of them run fine, but I am having trouble with the one I need to pass parameters to.
The parameters I need to pass are:
-ComputerOU "ou=All Workstations,dc=contoso,dc=com" -GroupDN "cn=Group1,ou=All Groups,dc=contoso,dc=com"
I have that line (with actual DNs) entered in Parameters of the task.
But when the script runs on the target machine, the values of the parameters in the script are truncated at the spaces. $ComputerOU is set to "ou=All" and $GroupDN is set to "cn=Group1,ou=all"
What syntax should I be using the Parameters field of the Task in order to properly pass PowerShell parameter string values that include spaces?

Thank you, TC, but I am not calling the parameters from within PowerShell.
The parameters are in the settings of a task sequence task to be used by the task to launch a script. The syntax I am using would be correct for use within PowerShell or from a command line or batch script, but SCCM appears to be doing some parsing
before or while it is passing them to the script, possibly dropping the quotes which causes mishandling of the spaces in the string values.
Historically, it is always challenging to give one application parameters to pass to another application, and the required syntax can get quite tricky when the two application handle quotes or spaces differently, or when the parent application wants to parse
something intended to be passed on as is to the child application.
I'm sure someone has already figured out what the syntax needs to be for doing this with an SCCM 'Run PowerShell Script" task, it's just one of those issues that is hard to Google effectively.
Any other ideas?

Powershell Syntax working when run in cmd, but when run through SCCM2007 Task Sequence it claims the syntax is incorrect?

The code below is a simple powershell statement which enables me to change the execution policy so that I can run powershell scripts. When I run this in a normal windows enviroment the statement will work fine, not giving me an issue whatsoever. However,
whenever it runs in the task sequence the TS fails. I am running this via the command line option in the task sequence, each time running this step as 3 different types of administrators.
powershell.exe -noninteractive Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
Checking the log file it states this:

I am new to both SCCM and Powershell, but from my point of view, this should work, considering that the syntax is not actually incorrect? Please could anyone with any idea drop some hints and tips on how to
stop this issue.

I'm not using 3 admin accounts at once if that's how it sounded. I have tried 3 different Admin accounts because I felt that perhaps the difference in permissions may have made a difference in whether I was able to run the syntax and scripts. So I tried
using my own personal administrator account, the SCCMNA account, and the local admin account, which I read worked.
At this point in the task sequence I have:
- Installed the OS
- Connected to the domain
- Installed Applications such as; Flash, Shockware, Reader etc.
Once it has installed the last application within a folder called "Helper Apps" (Which contains various Java and Adobe apps which install fine) it will then run a "Use Toolkit Package" using the MDT toolkit, once this stage is complete
it then progresses to the Script Exception section of the TS.
powershell.exe -noninteractive Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
I obviously need this to work otherwise I am not allowed to run the script, but because this syntax is "incorrect" it stops the task sequence.
I hope this information might shed some more light on the situation.

Issue with running powershell script in pssessions

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to run powershell script from remote machine using below commands
C:\Users\user>"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"
-command "$s= New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri
http://Exchservername/PowerShell/ -Authentication Kerberos ; Import-PSsession $s; "C:\Failback.ps1"
and Below is the failback.ps1.
$mbxs = Get-MailboxDatabase | Sort Name
ForEach($mbx in $mbxs)
$MBdb=$mbx.Name $ServerHosting=$mbx.Server.Name
if($mbx.activationPreference.value -eq 1)
If ($ServerHosting -ne $ActivationPreference.Key.Name)
Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase $MBdb -ActivateOnServer $ActivationPreference.Key.Name -confirm:$False
Below is what i am getting.

What is your question? Are you pointing out the yellow text? This is normal, and appears every time EMS is opened.
I should also point out that Microsoft provides a script to re-balance databases, if that's what you're trying to accomplish:
You can use the RedistributeActiveDatabases.ps1 script to balance the active mailbox databases copies across a DAG. This script moves databases between their copies in an attempt to have an equal number of mounted databases on each server in DAG. If required,
the script also attempts to balance active databases across sites.

OSD - Task Sequence to run powershell script

Hello,
I'm building up an image with OSD and will be layering some components to meet our needs with some powershell scripts. At the moment we will not have this device add itself to the domain so it'll be in a workgroup. The scripts are on a share that everyone has
read access to. Should I add a task sequence that will map a drive letter with domain credentials and have the task sequence call the script from that drive letter?

That is possible to do, but why would you not create a package/application with the script and let it download and run locally?

How to run Powershell script (function) through Windows Task Schduler ??

Hello All,
i have Powershell script which is created as a function. I have to give parameters to run the script. And it is working fine. Now i want to run this script through windows task scheduler but it is not working. I dont know how to call powershell function

Run powershell script against exchange using task schedule

I want to run this using task scheduler
Get-MailboxStatistics -Server mailserver | Select DisplayName, ItemCount, TotalItemSize | Sort-Object TotalItemSize -Descending | Export-CSV "\\pacetoputreport\report_$((Get-Date).ToString('MM-dd-yyyy')).csv"
I know I have to run some variation of this to launch the exchange module
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit -command ". 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1'; Connect-ExchangeServer -auto"
How can I do this in Task Scheduler? I have tried numerous times using various combinations, but nothing seems to work.
Thank you

You need to put the first part where you call powershell.exe in the Program/script part of the task, but the rest of it is put into the arguments section. As explained here
http://www.msexchange.org/kbase/ExchangeServerTips/ExchangeServer2013/Powershell/scheduling-exchange-powershell-task.html (which has versions for both 2010 and 2013, but since you list V14 in your filepath I assume you're using 2010) you'd need to
set the arguments to :
-version 2.0 -NonInteractive -WindowStyle Hidden -command ". 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1'; Connect-ExchangeServer -auto; <Your Command>"

Run Powershell script from Scheduled Task as "NT Authority \ SYSTEM"

Hello, dear Colleagues.
Cannot make Powershell script from Scheduled Task as "NT Authority \ System"
Action: Start a program -
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command "C:\script.ps1"
The matter is that script is working, moreover if to run Task with Domain Account it works too.
Checked Run with highest privileges, changed "Configure for" field, tried different arguments (-noprofile, -noexit, -executionpolicy bypass, -command, -file,") - no luck.
Didn't you try to make it work with SYSTEM account?
Thanks.

Hi fapq,
Try this link task schedulers
Note
To identify tasks that run with system permissions, use a verbose query (/query/v). In a verbose query display of a system-run task, the Run As User field has a value of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM and
the Logon Mode field has a value of Background only.

Creating scheduled task to run powershell script

Hi all,
been following this guide on how to create scheduled task to run a .ps1 script:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/08/11/weekend-scripter-use-the-windows-task-scheduler-to-run-a-windows-powershell-script.aspx
When I manually run this task,in the history it says success, but it doesnt work.
The script should create a report and send me an e-mail.It works fine if i run it manually in Windows powershell or Powershell ISE.
I cannot see that a new report have been created either.
Anything im missing here?
Been using same account to run it manually and the one using in task scheduler.
thanks!
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you. Thank you! Off2work

Run Powershell Script from Server

I am new to MDT so please forgive me. I am looking for a way for the MDT server to run a script locally after a server has been deployed. I saw you can do something similar where you use remoting in the task sequence. That is not
allowed or enabled in my environment. Is there any way for the MDT server to know it is done then it runs a script?

The unattend file has several locations that scripts could be run from, either in the specialize pass or oobeSystem pass.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc748874(v=ws.10).aspx -- this also gives you some demos on how to create your own unattend, though most basic settings are handled by
MDT.
You could also look into utilizing the run and runonce keys -

Get-Item: Cannot find path ' ' because it does not exist. While running Powershell script.

I am trying to run a PowerShell script to upload files into a SharePoint site in an Azure environment...the script works fine on my local machine, but every time I run it in Azure (remotely), I get errors. Here is what my simple script looks like...
if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null )

$contentType = "ContenttType1"
#Open web and library
$web = Get-SPWeb $webUrl
write-host "Web:" $web
$docLibrary = $web.Lists[$docLibraryName]
write-host "docLibrary:" $docLibrary
$files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles()
write-host "files:" $files
If ($contentType = "ContenttType1")
#Open file
$fileStream = ([System.IO.FileInfo] (Get-Item $file.FullName)).OpenRead()
# Gather the file name
$FileName = $File.Name
#remove file extension
$NewName = [IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($FileName)
#split the file name by the "-" character
$FileNameArray = $NewName.split("_")
$check = $FileNameArray.Length
#Add file
$folder = $web.getfolder($docLibrary.rootFolder.URL)
write-host "Copying file " $file.Name " to " $folder.ServerRelativeUrl "..."
$spFile = $folder.Files.Add($folder.Url + "/" + $file.Name, [System.IO.Stream]$fileStream, $true)
$spItem = $spFile.Item
write-host "Success"
write-host "SP File:" $spFile
write-host "SP Item" $spItem
#populate columns
$spItem["Column1"] = $FileNameArray[0]
$spItem["Column2"] = $FileNameArray[1]
$spItem.Update()
$fileStream.Close();
Again, I can run this on my local machine and it works just fine, but when I attempt to run it on the Azure environment I get this error...
Get-Item : Cannot find path 'C:\powershellscripts\12653_B7045.PDF' because it does not exist.

What strikes me first is the fact that the file its looking for is in the "C:\Upload\Test Upload\My Documents\" directory, but the error keeps saying "C:\powershellscripts\" which is where my script resides and not the files I want to
upload into SharePoint. When I step through the code, all the variables are holding the correct values. The $localFolderPath shows the name of files that I am attempting to upload, so it recognizes them. But once I step through this particular line of code,
the error occurs...
$files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles()
Is this an error caused because I am remoting into the Azure environment? Has anyone dealt with this issue before? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks
Update: quick thing I noticed is that these two lines of code are returning null values. Again, is this handled differently in Azure or remotely? I ask cause this is the way I know how to do this, locally.
$docLibrary = $web.Lists[$docLibraryName]
$files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles()

"...square brackets are wildcard characters in Windows PowerShell..."
When you use cd without a parameter it uses the -Path parameter. In this case you'll have to escape the square brackets so they are not considered wildcards. Each of the commands in the first example does the exact same thing.
cd 'Learn PowerShell `[Do Whatever`]'
cd -Path 'Learn PowerShell `[Do Whatever`]'
cd (or Set-Location) also has a literal path parameter (-LiteralPath) that does not require using an escape character (`) before each of the brackets. Hope this helps.
cd -LiteralPath 'Learn PowerShell [Do Whatever]'

Running SCUP in task sequence

We use SCCM 2012 and SCUP 2011. One question...
When you install a workstation (running the task sequence) can you install a full version of Adobe Flash Player from SCUP or only update it through the task sequence?
Ergo, do we need to have the latest version of Flash Player (v.15.0.0.167) in our task seqence as an application or can it be removed completely and Flash Player is installed as part of the software updates, like any other wsus updates?
Flash Player v. 15.0.0.167 is deployed to all workstations, but our task sequence contains v. 12.0.
hope my question make sense...

You can't install Flash Player directly you must have a flash player version on the client before the flash player updates apply on the machine.
Put the latest version you need in the task sequence instead, and update
existing machines thru the update from SCUP.

Running PowerShell Script to automate the installation of IIS feature - Add-WindowsFeature error, help please

Hi There,
We have a application named Microsoft SCOM. That as well requires ISS to be installed. I tried this long back and it worked in powershell. Below is the powershell script i used to install IIS and some specific features from it. Hope it helps in altering
it and making one of your own script.
1. Launch the PowerShell command
prompt
Run this command
Import-Module ServerManager
3. Press Enter
4. Run this
command
Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core,Web-Metabase,Web-WMI,Web-Static-Content,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Dir-Browsing,Web-Http-Errors,Web-Asp-Net,Web-Net-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Filter,Web-Filtering,Web-Windows-Auth,
Web-Mgmt-Console –restart

Run PowerShell Script from a Event Receiver

Hi,
Just looking around on the net for some documentation for running a PowerShell script via an Event Receiver. We want to be able to make changes to the script and not change anything in the ER.
Sadly using a workflow isn't an option here.
Looking for websites that give some examples really, or if anyone has done this.
Regards

Hi TemPart:
string cmdArg = “C:\\Scripts\\test.ps1″;
Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
runspace.Open();
Pipeline pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
pipeline.Commands.AddScript(cmdArg);
Collection [PSObject] results = pipeline.Invoke(); // please Update [] bracket with less then and greater then bracket
runspace.Close();
Had to modify this slightly:
string cmdArg = “Powershell.exe -file C:\\Scripts\\test.ps1″;
Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
runspace.Open();
Pipeline pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
pipeline.Commands.AddScript(cmdArg);
Collection [PSObject] results = pipeline.Invoke(); // please Update [] bracket with less then and greater then bracket
runspace.Close();

Run powershell script from context menu

Hi guys!
I do not know if what I'm going to
ask you is achievable.
This is what I want:
when I click with the right mouse button
a file, possibly with certain extensions,
the context menu appears, and
here I would to create an
object that can run the script that I have created
and assign as an argument the selected file.
It would also be necessary that such an object is
similar to the"send to" button.
Browsing the net I had found the
script to create such an object, however,
I have no idea on how to implement it
and then how to run my script.
Thanks

Hi jrv!
Initially, I will try to follow your suggestion but I'd prefer to use some automation, possibly related to powershell as required, because i must do this thing on many computers.
Thanks
A
Y((ou would do that with Group Policy as it is just a registry update.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
