Automation of SPLA Report using PowerShell

Hi,
I am reposting this question in this forum on the suggestion of an experienced exchange mvp, earlied posted in Exchange 2013 forum.
We want to automate SPLA report creation using PowerShell for Exchange 2010 and 2013, I mean
the report for Microsoft Service Providers License Agreement Program, which Service providers have to generate every month and have to submit to Microsoft.
Can somebody guide us, as we could not find any helpful online resource.
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards, David Johnson

That reads like a hosting question to me, and hosters know best about that. If I were a moderator, I'd move this thread for you, but I'm not so I recommend you post in the Exchange for Hosters forum:

Get Remote Desktop access logs using PowerShell

How to find all login/Logout/Reconnect and other log information from a remote computer using powershell
This should also include from which client/machine (including which account) that connection has established.
may be more in brief, like a RDP historical log, i.e., who all logged and performed what from startdate to enddate.
Suresh Kumar Udatha.

You would have to write a script to remotely query the Event log for all logon types required. You would also need to write custom record data extractors for each log message type.
I recommend starting in the Gallery and looking for scripts that query the windows event logs. THis will show you the basics of event log reporting using PowerShell.
What you are asking is a very large project. The records you need are different fro different OSs. Pre-Vista uses the old format and event IDs. Vista and later use a newer format.
Security log performing is a specialized industry. There are many companies that produce tools to do this. I recommend looking into purchasing this tool.
It can be written in PowerShell. I have written many event log extraction scripts. It will take you quites some time to do as many record types as you aare asking for.

FSRM report limits using PowerShell

I am following this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2014/05/20/set-fsrm-storage-report-limits-using-powershell.aspx
I did have this working just fine, but after installing Windows Updates today on a 2012 R2 box this functionality breaks the GUI. Now, any time you try to edit a report you are hit with Event ID 0, 'file server resource manager value is not valid' and a
GUI error of 'Unexpected Error. Value of 1000 is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'.
The report still runs, but you cannot view in the GUI until you again use PowerShell to decrease the limits back to default.
Any ideas on how to fix? (Other than removing the updates) Seems a recent Windows Update has broken this.

The Windows Update version is the latest available. So if you have a 2012 R2 server and install every available update, that's the level I'm at. It was a recent update that seems to have broken this, I just don't know which one.
The parameter was already set to 1,000 and was working fine. The default is 100, and any value greater than 100 now produces the GUI error.
Newly created reports also produce the same error. I stress that the reports do still run with the value of 1,000 set by PowerShell, it's just the GUI that does not recognise the values set by PowerShell.
Looks like a bug in a recent Windows Update.

How to add a certificate to IIS global "Server Certificates" list using PowerShell?

Hi, been surfing the web for an example on how to add a certificate to the "global" IIS "Server Certificates" list using PowerShell but to no luck. I already have code in place on how to tie / associate a specific website with a specific cert but not how
to add the new .cer file using the "Complete Certificate Request..." wizard using PowerShell.... I dont expect the final code to become published but if someone had an idea on howto integrate / get an entry point on where to interact between the "Server Certificate"
list in IIS and POSH I would be super happy! :|
I am runnign IIS on a Windows 2008R2 x64 Standard Edition if that helps..... of course, I would saddle for an CLI if there is no other way, but POSH is of course the way to go! :)
Thanks for the help in advance guys, take care!

Hi and thanks for the suggestions!
Although it comes close, the suggested code example points on howto import / incorporate .pfx files - I am getting fed by .cer files which I need to add into the IIS console using POSH.
I tried explore the IIS.CertObj object but was not able to work out if this one could be used for importing / adding .cer files into IIS! However, launching the following command from a POSH console with Import-Module Webadministration already
loaded into that shell;
$certMgr = New-Object -ComObject IIS.CertObj returns the following error message:
New-Object : Cannot load COM type IIS.CertObj
From an IIS perspective I have the following components installed;

might be that I am lacking some IIS components to be in place to be able to automate some parts of the IIS - as suggested by the IIS.CertObj object listed in the example..... I will get back if I can track down which component needs to be added to be
able to reference the IIS.CertObj object.

Is it possible to use Powershell to determine if Windows Server Source Files are present on disk?

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if it is possible to use a Powershell cmdlet to determine if Windows Server 2012 (R2) Source Files are present on disk.
We are using an automated PS script to install roles and features and some registry keys and applications afterwards. If the Source Files are not present, the script will fail, so I would like a# Check if Source Files are present # stage built in
the script to determine if the source files are present or that an alternate source path needs to be used.
Is this possible with Powershell and if so, how can we achieve this?
I'll appreciate your answer.
- Rob

Hi Rob,
I assume that you are using powershell command "install-windowsfeature" .
I would suggest you add the parameter "-source" to specify the alternate path of thesource file .
" The path specified in this parameter is only used if the command cannot find feature files in the local side-by-side store of the specified target computer or VHD. "
For details please refer to the article below :

How to add new group entry in Cisco Vpn using powershell

I am working on a powershell script to connect cisco vpn using powershell, I am able to connect to vpn but not sure how to add new group to vpn. I am using the following script$vpn_profile = 'Test'
$username = 'TestUser'
$userPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "Password" -AsPlainText -Force
$credentials = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist
$username,$userPassword
$password = $credentials.GetNetworkCredential().Password
Set-Location 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\VPN Client'
.\vpnclient.exe connect $vpn_profile user $username pwd $password
Write-Host "You Are Connected"
cd "C:\"

Have you entered .\vpnclient.exe /? to see if it will return information about other switches you can use with this executable? Other than connect, I was able to track down a few without actually having the executable (http://www.scribd.com/doc/40108893/Cisco-VPN-Client-Command-Line).
That said, I do not believe that there is a switch that will help you create a connection. These are either done manually through the GUI, or can be likely be added by supplying a properly formatted file in the proper place.
If you're using the version of the Cisco VPN client I think you are, then your connection settings, or profiles, are stored in individual .pcf files somewhere on your computer (likely in the Cisco directory). These are simple, text-based files. Find one
on your computer, save it with another name, and then modify it manually. If you really want to use PowerShell, then use this opportunity to learn how to create and edit basic text files using PowerShell. If you have a standard connection file, then you can
put that file onto remote computers any number of ways. If a .pcf file exists in the proper place when the VPN client is opened, then it likely will not prompt for a new connection.
Update: Added more info; clarified

Display report using star office

Hi...Need some light on this,,,How to display abap report using Star offce instead of MS excel???? Thanks

If Star Office (??) is OLE compliant, you will need to issue a CREATE OBJECT 'WHATEVER.THE.REGISTRY.ENTRY.NAME.IS.HERE'.
Then once it is activated on the client system, you will need to issue OLE automation commands from ABAP to the Star Office client.
You will probably need an Object Browser to help you with the Star Office commands to pass the ABAP info down to the client.

Using powershell to name a device after imaging

Hi All,
I am trying to use a combination of a preboot bundle and powershell scripts to name a pc after initial imaging or reimaging.
- Reimaging seems to work as long as the pc is joined to the windows domain after installation of zcm11.2.4 client
but
what is a reliable way to obtain the computer name for a pc not previously imaged, and name the device after imaging. I have been trying to use powershell scripts as per https://www.novell.com/communities/c...-registration/ .... but I seem to be missing something (I also do not have the HP bios utility available).
Any ideas or words to provide clarity would be appreciated.
Thank you
Peter

Hi
Not sure I get what the issue is? It works, no? Is it the order
that's the problem?
Are you not able to rename with PS, or?
