Automated export of collections to AD

Hello,
I am searching for a automated way to export members of a collection and import those Computers to AD Group.
Is someone having experience?

OK thx the blog helped me!!
Here my script:
#Automatic script to gather collection members of an SCCM collection and them to   #
#a secyurity group in Active Directory.                                           
#Veriosn: 1.0 Florian Zepter                                                      
#Define variables here:                                                           
# SCCM Collection:
$vCollectionName='WOL'
#Active Directory Group: (must exits!):
$vADGroup="WOL"
#no changes starting here:                                                        
#import Configuration Mangager cmdlest
cd
'\\site-server\d$\Program Files\Microsoft

  • How to keep User Order when exporting a collection?

    I made a collection of about 300 VC's, chosen from many folders in my catalogue. These images were taken over a 10 year period, using 3 different cameras and having different names and file types. The collection was sorted by "User Order". I spent a good deal of time organizing the collection so that the images made visual sense when shown as a slide show on a digital album.
    I exported the collection to my hard drive as jpegs, and checked the box to place them back in my catalogue, in a designated subfolder within my parent folder. All went well except they are now completely out of order, and that order makes no logical sense whatsoever - not by date, metadata, filename, attributes, nothing that I can figure out. I have to start all over again to reorder them - something that will take several hours.
    What did I do wrong? How can I keep my designated user order when I export a collection? 
    I am using LR 4.3.
    Thanks for your replies.

    Hi Rene,
    Lightroom does not maintain user order upon exporting. It would make no sense when not exporting back to catalog, but when exporting back to catalog I can see that it may be desirable - consider making a feature request (Idea) here:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/new
    In the mean time, I *think* what most people do to assure export ordering is to name the files according to desired order, then sort by filename. I could be wrong about that, but that's all I got.
    Beware: If said approach is adopted, one would not be able to do incremental exports and maintain such ordering (e.g. when single image added to publish service), so all files would need to be re-exported if such change was made.
    I have requested access to sort order and added-order via plugin for plugin-assisted remedy, but so far no go.
    Another idea (which may not be acceptable) is to use capture-time to maintain sort order of exported photos (via a plugin like Exportant), then it would be easy enough to maintain user order by manipulating capture time (of exported photos I mean, post-export), but then you'd lose the true capture-time, granted: capture time could be put into some other field, but that might foul things up downstream... hmm - sorry for rambling/brain-storming out loud.
    Maybe somebody else has a better idea.

  • Standard Edition automated export

    I currently have a SQL Azure database using the old Web edition and have configured automated export. This is very useful for keeping long term daily backups. I am just trying out the new Standard edition and have found the automated export is disabled with
    the message "Automated export is not supported for this database".
    Please tell me this won't be a Premium only feature as it is the only current way to do an automated backup without the use of a third party tool.

    Hello,
    The Automated Export (Preview) feature is not support in the new Basic and Standard tiers currently. For disaster recovery solution in Standard edition, you can try to use Database Copy and Manual Export.

  • In Photoshop V5 -How do I keep photos in the same order when Exporting a Collection to a Folder

    Hi
    In order to resize photos ready for Premiere Elements, I am Exporting my Collection to a folder, from the Organiser.
    I then resize that Folder using Process multiple Files.
    I then can import that Folder into PE.
    BUT, the export seems to change the photo order to an apparent random order.
    The Collection is in the right order, and there seems no options in the export dialogue to impact the order in the exported file.
    Thanks
    Chris
    PS I am about to upgrade to version 7, but would like to get my process sorted out before then. maybe 7 does it differently.

    Hi DJ
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    The good news is that what you suggest simplifies my process a lot. So thanks for that.
    The bad news in the order in still wrong. I.E it's not as the collection order, but it is the same order as the Process Multiple file route!
    So a step forward, but not quite there yet.
    Thanks so far!

  • How do I save or export my collections?

    How do I backup, save, or export my collections?  I have about 20 collections.  I want to be able to restore them all if my computer crashes and I need to pull everything up on a new computer.  I may also want to have my collections accessible on a secondary computer.

    Actually, you should right-click on the collection and choose the command Export This Collection As Catalog (and check the box next to Include Negatives). This will create a new catalog and you can move this and the photos thus created to the 2nd computer and then in Lightroom on the 2nd computer use File->Import from Another catalog

  • AUTOMATED EXPORT FAILED

    Hi Azure team,I received the below error mail for automated export.
    "We recommend checking that the storage account is available, and that you can perform a manual export to that account. We will attempt to export again at the next scheduled time."1. May i know, What is this message conveying?2. Storage is not accessible during that time?
    If yes is answer for 2nd question then please let me know why it was happened?and how could we overcome from this???Kindly help on this by providing suggestions.

    Hello,
    Did the automated export works on the SQL Database? you can review the Import and export history in the SQL Database server.
    The message showed in the mail indicates that automated export failed due to some reason. If your storage account is not accessible, the export may fail as the .bacpac file cannot be stored in the storage.

  • Automated Export

    I am able to setup the automated export.  It is not running, no error log/messages nor email notification.  Not sure what's happening, it did work once on another db, but it is not working for my production db.  Since it is preview
    MS is not providing any support. 

    Hi
    it might happens because of permissions.
    the process failed if a copy of your current database cannot be made.
    if your production db is a clone of a database and not created by the admin user you have to add permissions to it and then it will be able to backed up

  • Automated export appearing on database list

    Hello,
    I have an Azure SQL Database (Web edition) with an automated export set for daily exports.
    Sometimes (like today for instance) when I log into Azure management portal, I see an additional database listed with the name of my export.
    As far as I know, an export should not be listed as a new available database, right?
    Why this is happening and how can I fix that?
    Thank you,
    Igor
    .NET Software developer for industrial internet and automation system.

    Hello Igor, 
    Thank you for asking this question.
    The Automated Export service creates a database copy of the database you are exporting. It then will perform the export operation on the copy of the database. This is done to guarantee transaction consistency during the export. After the export has completed
    the database copy will be deleted. 
    You can learn more about Import/Export and Automated Export here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh335292.aspx
    Additionally if you are interested in our Basic, Standard, or Premium service tiers, they come with built-in restore capabilities.
    You can learn more about these capabilities and other business continuity capabilities here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh852669.aspx
    If you would like to share more about your scenario or discuss Azure SQL Database's backup and restore capabilities in further detail please email me at Elfish at Microsoft dot com.

  • Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size

    Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size to 7 inches on the long edge. My exported result is 457 dpi and sized at 3200x2134 pixels.. Any ideas on why this is happening and what I can do to correct it?

    The DPI setting in a digital image has no meaning at all. You need to learn how to calculate what you need in your exported image. The only measurement in a digital image that has any meaning is the number of pixels in each direction. It doesn't matter what you set that DPI to (actually it's PPI or pixels per inch). The image will have the same number of pixels regardless of the setting. If you need an image that is 5 x 7" (for example) at 200 PPI then you would want an image that measured:
    5 x 200 = 1000 pixels
    7 x 200 = 1400 pixels
    So you would need an image that is 1000 x 1400 pixels to have a 5 x 7" image at 200 PPI. The reason your exported image had such a high PPI setting is because you specified the number of inches you wanted the image to be. And there were enough pixels in the image that it calculated out to be that high PPI setting.
    I apologize, I don't explain this very well. But you need to learn to do the math to determine how large you really want your exported images to be.

  • Could not load the automated export settings (Azure Portal)

    We have several database setup with "Automated export". The export seems to be running ok, but I am unable to load the settings in the portal.
    I get the "Could not load the automated export settings."
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

    Hello Ballistic2,
    Sorry for the inconvenience.
    As you know in the automated export first it create a temporary database(transaction consistent replica) in that server and then it is pushed to storage (which you have configured in the automated export). As per the error  it seems that there are some
    connectivity issue with the storage. If I am not wrong the error that you shared is from operation log of azure portal for sql database. I am not so much sure about the actual issue but yes we can try to nail down the issue. You can do a quick test of connectivity
    through SSMS from your local machine.
    open SSMS -->connect to local database -->select any database --> (right click) and go to Task and then export data tier application--> select save to windows azure and select the same container that you selected in the automated export
    and check if export works or you are getting same error.
    If it works then from same SSMS connect to sql azure Database and try the same steps with your database that is failing from the portal.
    Please let me know the result.
    Regards,

  • Export a Collection Set

    Hi
    I have created a collection set in one of my Lightroom catalogues which has a series of smart collections and embedded collection sets within it.  I use this in my workflow for improving productivity. I normally put a complete photo shoot into my workflow collection folder which then filter through the different smart collections,once I have geotagged them, starred them, developed them, until I am left with a series of processed images. All images are removed from the workflow at the end ready for the next photo shoot.
    What I would like to do is export an entire collection set with all my embedded smart collection to enable me to use the workflow on different catalogs. I don't want to move the photos just the collections.
    Is there any way I can do this? I have found methods for "export smart collection settings" but nothing for a complete set.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Is the Azure DB automated export broken?

    Recently I twice carefully adjusted the schedule of the  Automated export of my Azure DB to my storage account.  However, each time it created a new database instead.  I am 100% sure I correctly adjusted the schedule as I have done a number
    of times before. Apparently, the Automated export feature is broken.
    Mike McIver

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for posting here.
    Do you get any error messages on your email. Please specify.
    When configure automated export operations for a SQL database, the account must be a server-level principal login  or a member of the dbmanager database role. Please check the server login your sepcify in Automated Export configure tab.
    What's more, Windows Azure Services has to be allowed to access the database. Windows Azure will first do a full copy of the database to a temporary database prior to creating the .bacpac file. To enable this, go to the "Configure" tab for the
    database server and make sure the switch is set to "Yes".
    I suggest you to follow these steps and let us know if the issue still persists.
    Schedule an Automated Export
    Log on to the
    Azure Management Portal.
    In the navigation pane, click on
    SQL Databases. In the list view of SQL databases, click the name of the database you would like to schedule for automated exports.
    Click the Configure tab, and then on
    Export Status, click Automatic.
    On the Automated Export work space, specify settings for the following parameters:
    Storage Account
    Frequency
    Specify the export interval in days.
    Specify the start date and time. The time value on the configuration work space is UTC time, so note the offset between UTC time and the time zone where your database is located.
    Retention
    Credentials for the server that hosts your SQL database. Note that the account must be a server-level principal login - created by the provisioning process - or a member of the
    dbmanager database role.
    When you have finished configuring the export settings, click
    Save.
    You can see the time stamp for the last export on under
    Automated Export in the Quick Glance section of the
    SQL Database Dashboard.
    You can see the status and history of a scheduled export operation on the
    History tab of the server Quick Start page.
    To change the settings for an automated export, select the SQL database, click the
    Configure tab, make your changes, and then click Save.

  • Can I export a Collection Set as one Catalog?

    I'm sure this worked in earlier versions of LR (?), but it's been a while since I've required doing this. However last night I needed to export a Collection Set housing several Collections as a single Catlog to an external HD. The options I chose were to export the negative files and available previews.
    I seemed to recall that if you Right-Clicked on the Collection Set name there used to be an option "Export Collection as a Catlog", but this option seems only available on Collections not Collection Sets.
    Never-the-less I sellected the Collection Set, then chose Export as Catalog from the file menu; This worked but only the first 4 collections within the collection set were exported. I repeated this again with the same response. So is this a bug?
    I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this so I'm hoping someone can tell me how. I know I could export each Collection as an individual catalogs then combine them but the Collection Set houses 13 sub collections, so rather laborius.
    Any ideas?

    I tried this and I got the exactly same result, only 4 four of my Collections within the Collection Set were exported in the new Catalog.
    I couldn't understand why it was doing this but eventually noticed that not all the images within the Collections were being shown in the grid when the Collection Set was selected. That was the problem. I still don't know why, but suspect one of the Collections may have become corrupted somehow. I've no filters on, so all the images in the sub Collections should show up in the grid, but only images from the first 4 were visible.
    I made a new Collection Set, then dragged the Collections one by one up to the new set, and now all the images are displayed and will export in one collection, either by the method you suggested by selecting all the images in the grid, or as I've achieved before by just sellecting the Collection Set then chosse Export as Catalog from the file menu.

  • Exported nested collection only saving schema, not data?

    Robin proposed an answer of exporting multiple collections into one:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3c55b873-a0c7-4cc8-9bab-eaf809f62ab0/exporting-data?forum=projectsiena
    It seems to work as long as you immediately import - this is because the collection is still in memory.  If you exit the app (or clear the collection), then only the schema can be loaded because the data itself isn't saved.
    When I look into the .zip file, I see that the schema is being written but no underlying data.
    Perhaps I'm doing something wrong and that's why I'm only getting the schema?
    I would be happy to share the project I've been working on if that would be helpful.
    Thanks!
    Thor

    thorwm,
       I was initially experiencing the same issue, but it turns out I was just confused (again).   I was building the nested collection during the OnSelect event for the Export control.   Apparently, the OnSelect event happens
    AFTER the Export control performs the export.   This can be seen by simply doing the export twice.  
       I have to look at a better way to perform the nested collection process.   Hopefully this is the same issue you are experiencing.

  • Export Smart Collection

    Hi,
    I've exported my pictures from Lightroom 2 as Catalog and copied them
    over to another computer to work. Everything is fine.
    Except, my Smart Collection, which was not exported ... Is there a way to export the Smart Collection and/or the (Regular/Static) Collections. I thought right-clicking on it should give me an option to export... but could not find the option to export my collection.
    Thanks
    Sajid

    Hi Becky,
    Yes, you can export ONE smart collection at a time, ... the issue is ...
    I've 30+ smart collection grouped under 5 main tree heads, and its a pain to export each of these individually, so I'm looking for a way to export all of them at once
    Thanks
