Azure powershell script runs locally bu not in webjob

I downloaded Azure commandlets locally and changed the Azure website size by just running an Azure powershell script i wrote. However, uploading it to run as a webjob on my Azure website it fails with the same errors it did locally Before installing Azure
Powersehll. Looking in kudu I see windows powershell but no azure powershell. Do I need to install Azure powershell to my website somehow?

Done! >And it already got some attention :)

Powershell script run with TaskScheduler not stopping VM's

I have a script that stops and starts the VM's, and copies files and it works ok when I run it with powershell, but when I run it with TaskScheduler, it's not stopping/starting the VM's (but does copy files). We have server 2008 R2. I updated
powershell to version 3 and downloaded and installed the Hypver-V powershell module from Microsoft.
Also, when I run the script through powershell, I needed to run as administrator. When I run it with the powershell prompt this is what it looks like:
C:\windows\system32> powershell -NoProfile -noninteractive -ExecutionPolicy bypass -Command "& c:\Scripts\BackupVhdShell_2_param.ps1 -single_backup_file_to_loc 'E:\' -single_backup_file_from_loc 'S:\SQL-bak.vhd'"
So that works from powreshell to start/stop vm's and copy files.
In Task Scheduler, this is how I have it set up:
Run with highest priviledges is checked. I have my login credentials saved so it can wake up the server when I'm not here or if it's not up.
In The Program/script field: %SystemRoot%\SysWow64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
In the Add Arguments field: -NoProfile -noninteractive -ExecutionPolicy bypass -Command "& c:\Scripts\BackupVhdShell_2_param.ps1 -single_backup_file_to_loc 'E:\' -single_backup_file_from_loc 'S:\SQL-bak.vhd'"
Any thoughts? I'm not sure if TaskManager isn't finding HyperV module?
This is what the majority of the script looks like:
param($single_backup_file_to_loc, $single_backup_file_from_loc)
function StopVMsInOrder ([array][String]$vmNames){
#this function will stop VM's in list, sequentially
Write-Host "Processing virtual machines in order"

I finally figured it out! I changed it so I was using the 32 bit version of powershell in TaskScheduler: %SystemRoot%\system32\.... Now it's finding the VM's!

PowerShell Script running Excel won't run on Windows Server 2008 R2

I have a script that creates a report of a single example of each warning or error in the Windows Event log, for each server in a list of servers,with the number of times that error has occurred in the last week on each server. It creates this report in
Excel. I have this script running automated through Task Scheduler for one client on Windows 7 and it's working perfectly. I have another client that I am attempting to run this script automated on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2. I can manually run
the script and everything works, but if I try to schedule the script everything works except for the Excel PowerShell commands. I've have tried:
Created the Desktop folders for config\systemprofile in System32 and in SysWOW64.
Configured permissions in DCOM for Microsoft Excel Application.
Configured folder permissions for config\systemprofile.
Verified PowerShell is working.
Unchecked the option in the task to only run while logged on.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it? Thanks!
Sincerely,
Christopher Beard

You might have to launch the application once as the system account so that it can set up the Excel environment, I've had the same problem when trying to update Excel files from an admin Powershell console using my admin account. Use psexec with
a -s option to run it as system account locally while logged on to the target server:
psexec -s "c:\program files (x86)\microsoft office\office14\excel.exe"
Then you'll most likely be prompted to input initials - which is what I suspect is preventing your code from running properly.
There may be some other more elegant way to handle this, but you'd be better off asking that question in one of the forums devoted to Office products.
I hope this post has helped!

Multi-Select Script Runs in ISE, not on remote Hyper-V Server

Hello All!
I've created a powershell script to allow a user to launch one of several management tools on a Hyper-V server. The script runs fine in Powershell ISE on my system (none of the tools work, obviously) but when I run it on the remote server, these errors
come up:

When I paste it directly into the Powershell window, it runs fine. So strange! I know my brackets are correct, or it wouldn't run when pasted into the shell or in ISE. Anyway, any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thank you all for your time!

How are you running the script on the server? Pasting into the ISE on the server, saving as a script and running it from the command line on the server? Or something else?
When you say you paste it into the PowerShell window and it runs fine, is this PowerShell window on your machine or the server? How are you pasting it (RDP? Teamviewer? VNC?).
It appears that some of the characters are not being saved/pasted correctly. You could try paste into notepad first and make sure all the characters are correct there, then select all and paste into the window on the server, or use noteapad to save the document
as a regular text file before copying to the server.

Using Powershell Script Run simple query in MS Access 2007 and export the results of query to Excel

Hi Experts,
I have a Access 2007 DB file and 2 Big tables inside that (bigger than the size that can be easily handled by MS Excel 2007).
My requirement is automate using powershell scripts the below things.
1. Create a SQL query in Access DB and save that in access DB
2. Run the saved query and export the result in excel sheet where I can create the charts and Pivots. Thanks in advance
Prajesh

Do you have to use the Access query, couldn't you just recreate the query in Powershell? Here's a link with good info that references an existing script for querying an Access database:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2009/08/13/hey-scripting-guy-can-i-query-a-microsoft-access-database-with-a-windows-powershell-script.aspx
Once you have your dataset you can pipe it to
Export-Csv -NoType c:\pathtofile\output.csv

Azure SQL database working locally but not when published to Azure

I have an
AngularJS solution that is connecting to a SQL Azure database. When
I run the solution locally, it’s configured to connect up to the SQL Azure database, the solution works fine. However,
when I publish the solution to Azure the connection to the SQL Azure database does not work.
When debugging with Chrome I get the error Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server
Error)
I'm not using EF. but dapper.
My connectionstring is as follows
<add name="PortalConnection" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Server=tcp:xxx.database.windows.net,1433;Database=xxx;User ID="xxx";Password="xxx";Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;Connection
Timeout=30;"/>
When I run the web solution locally from Visual Studio, my sql queries runs like it should, it's only the published version having problems.
Any ideas?
Software Developer

Hi,
Thanks for answer.
I had followed that step by step guide for deploying to Windows Azure. So that was not the problem.
But I was able to get a better error message by turning off custom error in web.config.
I got the error message: "Windows login are not supported in this version of SQL Server"
I solved this by using the SqlConnectionStringBuilder instead of getting the connection string from
web.config.
So everything works great now, just think it's strange it worked locally before..

Powershell script to modify DNS not returning errors

I've modified a script to make DNS changes given a name/IP combo from a CSV file and it seems to be working, but is not throwing any errors (which I had thought it would do, but doesn't)
## Directions:
## Script Requires DnsShell 0.4.4 http://dnsshell.codeplex.com/
## Script Uses Get-Dns and New-DnsRecord
## csv file must be in following format including the proper first line headers
## Name,IPAddress
## eample_a_record,127.0.0.1
Write-Host "Enter Name the Path to the CSV File>"
$CSV = read-host
Write-Host "Enter Name the DNS Server>"
$ServerName = read-host
Write-Host "Enter the Domain example: domain.local>"
$ForwardLookupZone = read-host
$filename = "D_ERRLOG{0:yyyyMMdd-HHmm}.txt" -f (Get-Date) #error Log
Write-Host "Enter The Reverse Domain Octet example 168.192 or 10 for 10.in-addr.arpa.>"
$TReverseLookupZone = read-host
$ReverseLookupZone = $TReverseLookupZone + ".in-addr.arpa."
# Import CSV and create A record
Import-Csv $CSV | ForEach-Object{
$record = get-dnsrecord -name $_.name -recordtype A -zonename $forwardlookupzone -Server $ServerName
if ($record.name) {get-dnsrecord -name $_.name -recordtype A -zonename $forwardlookupzone -Server $ServerName | Remove-DnsObject -force | out-file ./$filename -Append}
New-DnsRecord -name $_.name -recordtype A -zonename $forwardlookupzone -IPaddress $_.IPAddress -Server $ServerName | out-file ./$filename -Append
#create reverse record
New-DnsRecord -Name $_.IPAddress -Hostname ($_.name + '.' + $forwardlookupzone) -Zonename $ReverseLookupZone -Type PTR -Server $ServerName | out-file ./$filename -Append
Write-Host -foreground "yellow" "Any Errors will be in the file $filename"
The out-file is blank, every time. I've even forced errors but it's still blank.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Bash script run via cron not executing MYSQL command

I have a bash script which is run from a cron,
It is executing as I have it write to a log file which it does correctly.
I am wanting the bash script to restore a mysqldump file.
When I run the bash script manually the dump file gets loaded fine. But when I run it through the cron the mysql command appears to be ignored.
The mysqldump file is 54MB and I have checked to make sure that MYSQL is included in the global users path in /etc/profile
Does anyone know why this maybe??
Here is the bash file
#!/bin/bash
date >> /home/user/crons/crons.log
echo "Started loadbackup" >> /home/user/crons/crons.log
cd /home/user
dbuser=root
dbpass=password
dbname=databasename
filename=backup
mysql -hlocalhost -u"$dbuser" -p"$dbpass" "$dbname" < " >> /home/user/crons/crons.log
My crontab looks like
02 17 * * * /home/user/crons/loadbackup.sh
Many thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,
Have you tried redirecting the script output in the cron to see if an error is being reported?
I.e.
02 17 * * * /home/user/crons/loadbackup.sh > /tmp/loadbackup.log 2>&1

Cannot Create New Share from Azure PowerShell - The remote name could not be resolved

I have created a storage account. It seems that there isn't a specific way to create file storage rather than blob storage.
I followed the instruction for creating a share in Azure Power Shell but when I try $s=New-AzureStorageShare... I keep getting the error "The remote name could not be resolved". I checked the account name and it matched what is shown on the
Azure site.
I also cannot access the storage from the URL's. I get the message "This page can't be displayed.
How can I create a file storage account and a share to it?
Thanks,
Glen

Hi Glen,
Thanks for your post!
Did you sign up your File Service ?
To sign up, go to the Microsoft Azure Preview Portal, and sign up for the Microsoft Azure Files service using one or more of your subscriptions. As subscriptions
are approved for the Azure File preview, you will get an email notifying you of the approval. We will be slowly opening up the service to users in batches, so please be patient after signing up.
After sign up and enable this feature, I suggest you could refer to this blog for how to use Azure File service (

PowerShell scripts and Azure

Please forward if this is not the correct forum.
I'm trying to create Azure Powershell scripts that can be executed on a scheduled basis, however an authentication popup is always displayed before the commands can be executed. I've tried importing my publishersettings file, specifying the management certificate,
etc.
Can someone please paste a sample script below to simple run start-azurevm which includes commands to authenticate without user interaction?
Also include where the certificates, ... come from.
Thank you,

System.Drawing.Bitmap in a scheduled powershell script

I've written a powershell script to date stamp multipage tiffs, but I check to make sure the file name follows the correct format before doing so. The file name must contain the date, sequence number, and number of pages. The script works fine when run manually,
but when run from task scheduler it fails to query the number of pages in the TIFF. Any ideas why the .NET features wouldn't work from a powershell script run as a scheduled task?
I am putting the page number in the variable "count" by doing the following:

Remote PowerShell script execution from web page

I am building a web interface for Active Directory for a school project. (It will NOT touch the Internet, it is for intranet use.) I want to click a "button" on my interface and execute a PowerShell script on a server. (example: Clicking on "AD Users" would execute a PS script to get a list of users) Does anyone know a good approach to accomplish this? I can nandle writing the PowerShell scripts, I am just not sure what the best way to call them from a web interface would be. Any reference or information would be appreciated.

hi igor
i am actually working on a simillar project , i'm planning to publish it as an open source in codeplex
the idea is that you have to know another programming language like VB , C# ... in my case i used ironpython
ASP.NET , while ironpython calls powershells command using system.managment.automation through runspace
iron python only handles the web interface stuff , like button click events , and handling output stuff from powershell
you can convertto-html cmdlet from powershell it will make your life alot easier :)

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]'

Azure powershell script runs locally bu not in webjob
