Cannot run the script

Unlock-ADAccount | Set-ADAccountPassword -Identity -PassThru -NewPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText "123456" -force)
when i copy it into powershell it works like a charm... but i wanted it to prompt me for password. and then promt me for the username i want to reset.
i have my MMC for the GUI users and computers interface, the shortcut is like this,
C:\WINDOWS\system32\runas.exe /user:administration\%username%adm "mmc.exe \\servername\Tools\Admin\Administration.msc"

are you looking for Read-host option from Shell?
I haven't tested - but this may give a dice
$id = Read-Host 'Enter SamAccountname'
$pwd = Read-Host 'Enter Password' -AsSecureString
Unlock-ADAccount -Identity $id | Set-ADAccountPassword -Identity -PassThru -NewPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText $pwd -force)

  • Securely deploying and using credentials within a script (not running the script under the credentials)

    Here is my scenario - I have SCOM 2007 R2 and on certain agents I want to execute a script. One of the actions of that script is to access a secured web page using a username and password via integrated authentication (IE pop-up for auth).
    The username and password that I need to use are unrelated to the Windows domain that the servers run in, meaning you can think of the website as if it were a public site (it isn't, but it has no security sharing with the domain where the agents run - no trust,
    no nothing).
    I can easily accomplish this by hard-coding the username and password within the script (powershell), however, I don't want to do this for security reasons. Here's a rough example of the relevant code:
    $targetURL = "https://somehost.somewhere.something/filename.zip"
    $path = "c:\downloads\filname.zip"
    $wclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
    $wclient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.Networkcredential($uname, $pword)
    $wclient.DownloadFile( $url, $path )
    What I want is a way to pass the $uname and $pword variables to this script securely, with the script running on a schedule under SCOM. The SCOM agents run as localsystem and need to remain that way.
    I currently use Run-As accounts and profiles for other functions where the entire script runs under the run-as profile, but I can't figure out how to extract the username and passwords, and doubt it's even possible.
    To be clear, I cannot run the script under the given credentials as a Run-As account as those credentials are not known to the local server. I need to somehow pass the credentials to the script (other than hardcoding) or extract them from the run-as accounts.
    I've looked at the get-runasaccount cmdlet and can see some of the info there, but don't see a way to re-use, pass-through, or extract the password for use in my scenario.
    Any guidance? Can I get there from here?

    Hi, check this
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ebfc706d-93be-4ca0-83e0-33d9e072fb97/powershell-script-monitor-with-encrypted-password?forum=operationsmanagerauthoring
    But you should not specify runas account for your workflow, just reference Runas Username and Password from Profile and use simple authentication. (The same way as in article above)
    So in the end your script will be executed by default action account but you'll pass username and password securely to your script.

  • Running the Scripts of Essbase in Server rather than in Client

    Hi,
    We have Scripts which run for different Loads like INK/TONER/FAST etc. The Essbase Version we use is 11.1.2.2.
    The content of the Scripts are as below.
    INK.cmd
    del U:\FAST\Logs\Ink_Assumpt_Extract.log
    call C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\startEsscmd.bat U:\FAST\sub\sub\Ink_Assumpt_Extract_FAST.cmd
    cd U:\FAST\data\
    del Ink_Decay_Rates.OUT
    move Ink_Decay_Rates.dat Ink_Decay_Rates.OUT
    del Ink_Pen_Price.OUT
    move Ink_Pen_Price.dat Ink_Pen_Price.OUT
    del INKASM10.OUT
    move Assum10.dat INKASM10.OUT
    To run the above Script the User will install the Essbase Client in his PC and startEsscmd.cmd is executed as they will map the Folder to their PC using U Drive Version. This  folder exists in Server.
    Now the requirement is to change the Script running with User depending on Essbase Client. We need change the Script to run in Server itself when  the users runs the script.
    I want to execute this StartEsscmd.bat with the one available in Server as the below one
    call F:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\EssbaseServer\essbaseserver1\bin\startEsscmd.bat U:\FAST\sub\sub\Ink_Assumpt_Extract.cmd . Rather than users installing Client.
    Is this how we can make the script to run in Server itself. Or any other process. Please help on this.

    Hello Experts,
    These batch scripts are dependent on Informatica Environment as well. Once all the Essbase batch files runs there will be data files in DAT Folder and using the timestamp of current month these data files will be send to Informatica Env and there one Job runs which will convert all the .OUT files into a .DAT file and load into DB. Its the Process.
    Now we cant change the entire process but need to get rid of Essbase Client dependency.
    All i want to know is if we change the path of the files from
    call C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\startEsscmd.bat
    to
    call F:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\EssbaseServer\essbaseserver1\bin\startEsscmd.bat
    or
    call %ARBORTPATH%\bin\startEsscmd.bat
    will the files runs in server side. I tried with this but getting an error saying
    System cannot find the path specified. Please help.

  • Powershell Change date to the first day of last month whenever i run the script.

    If I run the script on 2/4/2013 or any other day in February I want the date to be change to 1/1/2013. I am replacing date on line 59 with this value.
    Get the content of the CMS Script.
    $CMSReport = Get-content C:\reports\CMSReport.acsauto
    Go to line 59 and replace the date for Last Month date.
    $CMSReport[58] = $CMSReport[58] -replace "([1-9]|0[1-9]|1[012])- /.- /.\d\d", [datetime]::Today.ToShortDateString() $CMSReport | Set-Content C:\reports\testCMS.acsauto
    Run the CMS script
    Invoke-Expression -command "c:\reports\testCMS.acsauto"

    PS C:\> $lastMonth = (get-date).AddMonths(-1)
    PS C:\> $firstDayOfLastMonth = get-date -year $lastMonth.Year -month $lastMonth.Month -day 1
    PS C:\> "{0:yyyy-MM-dd}" -f $firstDayOfLastMonth
    2013-01-01
    Bill
    Hello AbqBill,
    Thanks for getting me there. I am a lot closer to the final goal. I input what you suggested and I am getting different results as you. here what I did.
    $LastMonth = (Get-Date).AddMonths(-1)
    $FirstDayofLastMonth = Get-Date -year $LastMonth.year -month $LastMonth.month -day 1
    $CMSReport = Get-content C:\reports\CMSReport.acsauto
    $CMSReport[58] = $CMSReport[58] -replace "([1-9]|0[1-9]|1[012])[- /.]([1-9]|0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](19|20)\d\d", "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}" -f $FirstofLastMonth
    $CMSReport | Set-Content C:\reports\testCMS.acsauto
    I get 12/1/2013. Which bring me to 2 questions. How will this solve when it is January and it has to put last month last year? and why is it going back two month instead of 1?

  • Oracle 11gR2 RAC: Running the script root.sh problem

    Folks,
    Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
    http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
    I have been installing Grid Infrastructure using runInstaller from step 1 to step 9 of 10 in both VM rac1 and rac2.
    Now, I am running the script root.sh in VM rac1 and rac2 as below:
    [root@rac1 /]# /u01/app/grid/root.sh
    Output:
    CRS-4123: ohasd is starting
    FATAL: Module oracleoks not found
    FATAL: Module oracleadvm not found
    FATAL: Module oracleacfs not found
    ACFS-9121: Failed to detect /dev/asm/.asm_ctl_spec
    ACFS-9310: ADVM/ACFS installation failed.
    ACFS-9311: not all components were detected after installation
    'UpdateNodeList' was successful.
    [root@rac1 /]#
    [root@rac2 /]# /u01/app/grid/root.sh
    Output:
    CRS-4123: ohasd is starting

    FATAL: Module oracleacfs not found

    Start of resource "ora.asm_init" failed.
    Failed to start ASM.
    Failed to start Oracle Clusterware Stack.
    [root@rac2 /]#
    As we see the output above, rac1 and rac2 get the same problems. in addition, rac2 fails to start ASM and Clusterware stack. Thus, I have 2 questions:
    First, the common problem for rac1 and rac2 :
    1)Module "oracleoks, oracleadvm, oracleacfs" not found
    2)/dev/asm/.asm_ctl_spec not detected
    3)ADVM/ACFS installation failed
    Do the above 3 factors affect Grid and DataBase Installation later ? If yes, how to solve these problems ?
    Second, how to start ASM and Clusterware stack in rac2 ?
    Thanks.

    you have 2 options:
    1. OEL 5.6 comes with 2 kernels, the original Red Hat, and Oracle UEK, you can choose not to use UEK
    or the one i would recommend:
    2. Upgrade Grid Infrastructure,
    *11.2.0.3.1* (patch 13348650, released about a 1 month ago) supports ACFS on UEK (starting with 2.6.32.200 IIRC)

  • Do you want to run the script? Yes.

    I'd like to be able to run a script without having to confirim that I want to run the script.
    "You are about to run a script in Adobe InDesign CS5. You should only run scripts from a trusted source.
    Do you want to run the script?"
    Is there a way to execute the script without having to click this?

    I should have clarified that I want to execute the file externally, through a BAT file. I'm trying to eliminate all GUI steps. Essentially I have a set of routines I'd like run once a day, it would be ideal to run them outside of office hours as I'm dealing with the files and InDesign in other ways throughout my workday.
    However as you pointed out if you run the script through the Script Panel there is no dialog asking for confirmation, so it must be possible to execute a script without the dialog.

  • Cannot run SQL script on Oracle Database 10g Express Edition

    I'm trying to upload a script, and the file is being uploaded fine, but in the Script Editor window where I'm going to actually run the script, the entire file content is shown on one line and the whole edit area is in red. I'm not being able to run that script. Also if I create a new script from the editor, the edit area is again in red and I'm not able to save it. Please help me understand what's to be done so that I can run my SQL scripts.

    I'd bet the database is down.
    Try a login through sqlplus ("Run SQL Command Line" in the Oracle Express Edition 'Start' menu).
    Do a CONN / AS SYSDBA
    If you get a message about database or memory area not available, try STARTUP.
    If that doesn't work, you are best off in the General Database forum or the Express Edition forum.
    You'll probably get the most expert response in General Database, but the Express Edition forum can be gentler on newbies (as it is more accepted that questioners are not and do not have access to full-time DBAs).

    I have seen that problem happening before, even that i was never able to figure out why, something that you can try is changing the service log in credentials for both:
    Oracle Application Testing Suite Agent Service
    Oracle Application Testing Suite Application Service
    and use a proper user with admin rights.
    let me know if that helped
