C# and PrintSpoolerAPI API from PowerShell

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to create custom form for the printer using power-shell. I have searched the net and found that it will be accurate to do it using PrintSpooler API.
I found some examples on net PrintSpooler API.
I want to use these codes with powershell as I see that we can use C# classes with powershell.
Help me out
Naveen Basati

Hi JRV,
Thanks for the link. I will go through it. The actual issue is that our organization is having two type of printers which is used for taking DD, Deposit and Pay-Order. They have custom specifications and have to be done and set manually for the printer.
I am showing the image for the DD as a sample.
For this we have to go to printer properties>>Advance>Printing defaults>>Click on Custom>>Provide the name for the form, width and height and have to select the orientation to landscape and also to be checked in General Tab for preferences
tab. Both printers having different specifications for the same DD, PO and Deposit.
Printer Type I(Orientation is common for all: Landscape)
Deposit
Width 5.8 Height 8.2
DD/PO
Width 4.1 Height 8.6
Printer Type II
Deposit 5.8 8.2
DD 4.0 8.7
PO 4.15 8.7
Now the problem is the vendor is not supporting in this regard to create a application to just create and add the form to the printers and our organization is not ready to hire some one and has given the task to DataCentre.
1200 Printers..............................
SOrry for the lengthy story. Help me out guys!!!!!!!

APIs for accessing the ESS log and output files from UCM

Hi,
As I understand, the output and log files of an ESS job will be uploaded to UCM.
We have a requirement where in we are building a simple error handling framework, which gets triggered after a series of ESS jobs are run. In the error handling framework based on some processing logic we need to e-mail the error or log files to the users. I am not able to find any information related to retrieving the log and output files for and ESS job from UCM. Any inputs on this will be appreciated.
Thanks for your help,
Thiru

For accessing content in UCM you can use the RIDC APIs or UCM Web Services. Note that the UCM also provides features for workflow etc. that could potentially be used for notifications refer to the developer guide for details. For UCM related questions you may want to use this forum instead

How can I retrieve/compute an X509 certificate's thumbprint in Python and then use it for accessing Service Management APIs from Python SDK?

Hello,
I am using Azure Python SDK to perform calls to ServiceManagement APIs.
I have a .publishsettings file generated for my account which includes an encoded version of my X509 certificate and all of my subscription IDs.
How can I retrieve/compute an X509 certificate's thumbprint in Python?
Following is the code snippet that helps us do it in .Net.
Is there a similar approach to do it in Python?
var publishSettingsFile = @"C:\temp\CORP DPE Account-11-16-2011-credentials.publishsettings";
XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(publishSettingsFile);
var managementCertbase64string = xdoc.Descendants("PublishProfile").Single().Attribute("ManagementCertificate").Value;
var importedCert = new X509Certificate2(Convert.FromBase64String(managementCertbase64string));
thumbprint = importedCert.Thumbprint;
Once I have the thumbprint, how can I use that thumbprint to access Service Management APIs from Python SDK?
Thank you in Advance!

Vaibhav Kale

Hi,
Please have check on the below article and check if it helps.

Any reason for more push from MS for Client OM and REST API during the SP 2013 portal solution dev

hi,
Would like to know, why Microsoft has put more emphasis on Client OM and REST API in SP 2013 portal solutions dev.
Is there any prticular reason for this.If we develop our solutions in Server Object Model any performance/scalability related issues would be appearing in the near future , once i "Go Live" of my portal ?
Any indications given by MS saying, "we wont allow ISV/vendors/ to build server object model based solutions in the near future".

The real question might be "how long will there be an on premise version of SharePoint?" or "will we move our SharePoint to the cloud in the future?" There is an obvious push to the cloud for SharePoint. While all indications point to at least one more on
premise version of SharePoint, as a best practice any code you develop should run in both environments, and that will limit you to the new app model.
As far as performance, traditional server side code runs on the web front end servers. Any poorly performing code would have a negative impact on the servers and users. Therefore, performance/scalability is up to the skills of the developer. The primary
change around the app model is to move all custom code off of the web front ends and onto the client or other servers (via web services). Using the app model you can scale the app servers as needed separately from the "SharePoint" servers. (and of course,
your code would might still work if your SharePoint environment later moves to the cloud.)

Powershell error while importing module and executing function from module

powershell error while importing module and executing function from module
Function called in uncertain order..
VERBOSE: The 'Function1' command in the MyModule module was imported, but because its name does not include an approved verb, it might be difficult to find. The
suggested alternative verbs are "Clear, Install, Publish, Unlock".
VERBOSE: Importing function 'Function1'.
VERBOSE: The 'Function2' command in the MyModule' module was imported, but because its name does not include an approved verb, it might be difficult to fin
d. For a list of approved verbs, type Get-Verb.
VERBOSE: Importing function 'Function2'.

First of all those errors look more related to HBR, though if it worked before I would restart services then log into the planning app and then try again.
Have you tried a different form as well one without an ampersand &.

Cannot create mysites from powershell: Original XSLT List View Web Part not found

I have a bizarre problem in my SharePoint 2013 farm. This does not occur in my test farm, only in the farm we were going to go live with.
I'm on windows Server 2012, SQLServer 2012 SP1, SharePoint 2013 April CU. 1 appserver/centraladmin server, 2 web servers.
When I log into our mysitehost and click newsfeed, it will create a mysite (even though first it displays "we are sorry there was a problem creating your site")
But from powershell, whether I use $UserProfile.CreatePersonalSite() or New-SPSite, I get the following error:
Original XSLT List View Web Part not found
So far I've only found one other person with this:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/2503e42c-e114-4e89-8e00-89fe70f0b154/cannot-create-sharepoint-mysite-programmatically
This is a brand new farm, created with the same scripts I created my test farm with, and same version of SharePoint. Only the service accounts are different. (Farm account has admin on the servers right now since I was setting up profile service).
Some other errors from the same correlation ID that look related:
It can't seem to find the listemplate 101
And something looks wrong with the MySiteDocumentLibrary feature
I have tried the following:
1. run psconfig.exe on each server
2. install-spfeature -AllExistingFeatures
3. looped through the directory under Features and for each called Install-SPFeature $dirname -Force
4. uninstalled and reinstalled MySiteDocumentLibrary feature
5. blew away the whole farm (removed all servers from farm, deleted all databases) and recreated it.
6. tried creating the UPA from the CentralAdmin gui.
The only real difference I can think of between the working farm and non working farm is, I installed the working farm using RTM, then as they came out added the March PU and April CU. For this farm I installed RTM and March and April, and then ran my build
farm script.
I am at a loss. What do I need to do, re-install the binaries? That's all I can think of. What I love is that our test / POC system worked fine, and now 2 weeks before go-live I'm seeing errors on the production servers I've never seen before. Using the
same scripts no less.

I've had other problems in this farm: the bug where when you add Administrators to a Search Service via the Manage Service Applications page, it removes the SPSearchDBAdmin role from the search service process account. That one did not happen in the other farm.
At least other people have that one and I could just use the farm admin instead (still troublng of course).

Ok,
Here is the problem:
When creating a mysite from powershell or script, apparently you can ONLY do this from a wfe (or a server running Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application in services on server).
You CANNOT create mysites from script on your appserver if it is not also a Web Application Server. I confirmed the same is true in my test farm. I guess I was always running most of these scripts on the webserver.
I searched all over and cannot find this documented anywhere.
Who do I contact to have Microsoft document this?
It's Thursday morning, I've been working non stop since Saturday morning so you don't have to :)

Calling OIM API from a remote system

Hi.
I have OIM 9031 server installed on a computer HostA. And I have multiple copies of the 3rd party java program installed on HostB, HostC and so on.
I need to be able to call some OIM API from that custom java program (for example, receive the list of active users from OIM server).
According to OIM documentation, I can use Remote manager to manage users on non-network awared systems.
But what if I use Remote manager for calling remote OIM API ? Is that possible?
Or are there any easier ways to achieve my goal ?

The installer in the AD sync connector is provided because in addition to having the OIM API client, there is a DLL that needs to be installed and registered to capture the plaintext password. It is not necessary to have an installer, but it might be be a convenience if you are deploying to many machines.
Here is some code to get you started:
import Thor.API.tcUtilityFactory;
import com.thortech.xl.util.config.ConfigurationClient;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
public class TcUtilFactory {
Log log = LogFactory.getLog("OIMCLIENT.UTILITY");
private tcUtilityFactory factory = null;
private Hashtable env = null;
public TcUtilFactory() throws Exception {
// you can also set these system properties on the command line
System.setProperty("XL.HomeDir", "/opt/oimclient);
System.setProperty("java.security.policy", "config/xl.policy");
System.setProperty("log4j.configuration", "config/log.properties");
System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config", "config/auth.conf");
ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting configClient = ConfigurationClient
.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");
env = configClient.getAllSettings();
try {
factory = new tcUtilityFactory(env, "xlsysadm", "xelsysadm");
} catch (Exception e) {
// handle exceptions thrown by tcUtilityFactory constructor
From here you can write whatever methods you need going against tcUtilityFactory. Also note that you will need many of the jars from your lib directory as well as the properly configured xl.config and other files in the config directory that the design console client uses (I usually just copy them from that install). Last you will need to make sure you have the required jars specific to you app server (the ones you need to copy over during the design console install)

How to Read the "text file and csv file" through powershell Scripts

Hi All
i need to add a multiple users in a particular Group through powershell Script how to read the text and CSV files in powershell
am completly new to Powershell scripts any one pls respond ASAP.with step by step process pls
Regards:
Rajeshreddy.k

Hi Rajeshreddy.k,
To add multiple users to one group, I wouldn't use a .csv file since the only value you need from a list is the users to be added.
To start create a list of users that should be added to the group, import this list in a variable called $users, the group distinguishedName in a variable called $Group and simply call the ActiveDirectory cmdlet Add-GroupMember.
$Users = Get-Content -Path 'C:\ListOfUsernames.txt'
$Group = 'CN=MyGroup,OU=MyOrg,DC=domain,DC=lcl'
Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $Group -Members $Users

How to use the user and role API's and where to use it

Hi All,
I have configured SSO for my UCM11g. Now my application authenticates through the Oracle SSO login page. Currently it is working with SQL authenticator.
Now, i have to use LDAP authenticator. when i will configure the LDAP authenticator, i have to use the user and role API's to fetch the user profile information from LDAP. i have got the API's which will be used to fetch the respected information, but i am not getting as where i will write those java programs and how this API will be used in my application. what settings i need to do on it so that application uses the API's. ?
Please can anyone help me on this.
thanks,
Saurabh

Hi, Mithu,
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
I have carefully read the document: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6b66d7ea-0c01-0010-14af-b3ee523210b5.
Now, I think I have to set the processor of every actions in every process if I use the GP for processing the workflow.
I am better to hope that I can set the processor to the role for every actions in every process in the runtime through get the organizational structure in the WDA(webdynpro for java or webdynpro for java). Thus, the customer don't set the processor to the role for every action in every process when runing in the GP. I don't know how to do this.
Whether the function is not supported in the GP? If so, I have to config two organizational structure: in the R/3 and in the Portal. I don't think our customer don't receipt this solution.
Do you give me some hints? Thanks a lot. My email: [email protected]
Thanks again.
Thanks & Regards,
Tao

Hello,
I'm trying to list the Preferred Owner list of some cluster Resources, but we have many nodes and the output is not readable from powershell if I use the standard command but it shows somethink like {server1, server2,.....}
Then I've tried to get the output in table mode, but I don't know how to get it.
I'd like to have something like:
"Cluster Resource name" "PrefOwner1","PrefOwner2","PrefOwner3" .......
I've done
get-clusterresource
|
Where{$_.resourcetype
-match
"MyResourceType"}
|
get-clusterownernode | select clusterobject,,@{n='PrefOwners';e={$_.ownernodes
-join","}}
|ft-a
This code is working, but I would like to know if could do more easy or more simply.
