Capitalization of DNS via Powershell? How to Change?

Yes - I understand DNS is case insensitive, but when working with a windows/linux environment we have an issue when doing zone transfers in linux.
host -l domain.com produces a variety of results that are have mixed capitalization. We're trying to determine how to rename DNS entries so that they are lowercase.
Is there any way to do it aside from removing a computer and rejoining it to the domain?

Not a scripting question. You need to ask in the DNS/Directory Services forum.
There is NO reason to change case on DNS. No web, Windows or Unix system pays attention to case. Unix will but only if you configure it to detect case in dns names. Windows cannot be configured to enforce case.
Unix and Windows web servers can be configured to enforce case in url strings but are not set to do this by default. I have not seen it done for more than ten years.
THe case of names in Indows AD integrated DNS comes from the system names. You would have to rename the systems to fix that. It cannot be done in DNS or in AD.

DELETE Windows Agents (agent monitored computers) via Powershell - HOW??

It's really ridiculous that I have to ask this question, but as the shaft
has clearly not given the countless scom customers of the world this information in an easy straightforward manner, I will ask the question.
As bazillions of you have discovered through days of endless googling, there is NO easy way to simply delete windows agents (AGENT MANAGED COMPUTERS) from the scom console via powershell by using something as crazy and far out there as a ............cmdlet
I could RING the necks of the shaft personnel who have not supplied the countless scom customers with this simple AND VERY NEEDED functionality - this is ground zero functionality, NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. I did find old 2007 scripts, and scripts that
just don't work, or poorly documented methods, etc.
So I wanted to ask if anyone out there has a straightforward, WORKING solution to do the following:
completely DELETE windows agents (AGENT MANAGED COMPUTERS) from the scom console using
powershell AND a provided text list file of servers (I.E. C:\TEMP\serverlist.txt )
On behalf of the entire world, thanks in advance.

There is no need to install anything, these commands will work on any server that has SCOM installed.
This is a powershell script.
If you need to use this to read from a text file with one server per line (let's say C:\temp\agentlist.txt ), what you could do is copy this into a .ps1 file :
function global:Delete-SCOMAgent([System.String[]] $agentNames)
$administration = (get-scommanagementgroup).getadministration()
$agentManagedComputerType = [Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Administration.AgentManagedComputer]
$genericListType = [System.Collections.Generic.List``1]
$genericList = $genericListType.MakeGenericType($agentManagedComputerType)
$agentlist = new-object $genericList.FullName
foreach ($agentName in $agentNames)
$agent = Get-SCOMAgent -dnshostname $agentname*
$agentlist.add($agent)
$genericReadOnlyCollectionType = [System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection``1]
$genericReadOnlyCollection = $genericReadOnlyCollectionType.MakeGenericType($agentManagedComputerType)
$agentReadOnlyCollection = new-object $genericReadOnlyCollection.FullName @(,$agentList)
$administration.DeleteAgentManagedComputers($agentReadOnlyCollection)
$agentlist = Get-Content C:\temp\agentlist.txt foreach ($agent in $agentlist) {
Delete-SCOMAgent $agent }
and then run this from a powershell prompt with the command ./nameofthescript.ps1

Powershell: How to change the header name in a imported CSV file

HI All,
I have a csv file in which I want to change the headers names in powershell.
oldnames are name,id
newnames I want to give are: company and transit respectively.
Following is what I wrote in script:
           $a = import-csv .\finalexam\employees.csv -header name,id'
                   foreach ($a in $as[1-$as.count-1]) // I used 1 here because I want it to ignore the exiting headers.
                  { $_.name -eq company, $_.id -eq transit}
I think this not entirely correct way to do this. Can someone show me how to fix this.
Regards
SQL 75

If you're not an experienced PowerShell programmer, I recommend editing the file in a text editor and changing the name that way.

How to change maintenance powershell script via GPO?

Per suggestion reposted from here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/6eece9d6-a524-48aa-8e64-7554f0ec9b31/how-to-change-maintenance-powershell-script-via-gpo?forum=winserverGP
Posted at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/desktop-shortcuts-to-items-on-network-drives/94eddb27-342b-40fc-9ad4-677ff4ee8ebe?page=9&tm=1403700614489 originally.
There is a very annoying "feature" in Windows 7 called BrokenShortcuts.ps1 which is being called out weekly via maintenance task and if it finds more than 4 "broken" network shortcuts it removes them all. So it means if a user at this
moment is disconnected from the network he will lose all links to shares, network applications sitting on his desktop. Funny that there was no such script on Vista and i don't see this on Win8. On the post i have attached one user suggested to edit this script
and change 4 to 500 or whatever high number. That's fine for one time fix. But i need to do this for 200+ users. This file cannot be simply replaced by a script, so i'm wondering is there any way to do it via GPO?
I have already tried various startup scripts, but i'm not sure which user to put into commands.
I need to run this on startup:
takeown /F C:\Windows\diagnostics\scheduled\Maintenance\TS_BrokenShortcuts.ps1
icacls c:\windows\diagnostics\scheduled\maintenance\TS_BrokenShortcuts.ps1 /grant "some user":F
copy \\share\folder$\TS_BrokenShortcuts.ps1 C:\Windows\diagnostics\scheduled\Maintenance\ /Y

You need to take time to study how Windows does these things. You can control them with GP which is what you asked. The article shows you how to disable elements of the tasks. Each task controls a script. If you disable the task the
script that deletes shortcuts will be stopped. Other maintenance tasks will continue to run.
Most of your problem is that you seem to want someone to provide a magical solution. In technology it is necessary to fully research your issues until you understand all aspects. After fully studying the issue you should understand the possible
solutions if they exist.
You claim to have deployed the patch that Microsoft released to fix the issue. You claim it didn't work. If that is the case then you need to call MS and \p[en a support incident. If Microsoft determines that you are right about the
patch not working you will not be charged for the call.
I know that learning how to support technology is hard and frustrating for newcomers. In time, by using these incidents to learn, you will become a seasoned technician and all of this will seem trivial. Until then we can only suggest that you
do things that most of us are familiar with. We cannot fix your network for you.
I think you haven't really posted in the GP forum but posted a question about GP in the server forum. Try posting in the GP forum.

Server 2012 R2: How do I set VLAN data for the Host Virtual Switch (via PowerShell)?

I need to modify the Host (NOT the VM's) VMSwitch VLAN settings via Powershell for automation purposes.
In Server 2012 (NOT R2), this can be done via modifying
MSVM_VLANEndPointSettingData
However, it seems in Server 2012 R2, that class is gone. I've manually searched through the MSVM classes, and it seems that the Host VMSWitch VLAN settings are stored
in MSVM_EthernetSwitchPortVlanSettingData. Unfortunately, I have no way of tying that class to a specific VMSwitch.
Any know how to do this on Server 2012 R2?

[Forum FAQ] How to install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely

As we all know,
the Windows Server Essentials Experience role is available in Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. We can add the Windows Server
Essentials Experience role in Server Manager or via Windows PowerShell.
In this article, we introduce the steps to install and configure Windows
Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely. For better analyze, we divide this article into two parts.
Before installing the Windows Server Essentials Experience Role, please use
Get-WindowsFeature
PowerShell cmdlet to ensure the Windows Server Essentials Experience (ServerEssentialsRole) is available. (Figure 1)
Figure 1.
Part 1: Install Windows Server Essentials Experience role locally
Add Windows Server Essentials Experience role
Run Windows PowerShell as administrator, then type
Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet to install Windows Server Essentials Experience role. (Figure 2)
Figure 2.
Note: It is necessary to configure Windows Server Essentials Experience (Post-deployment Configuration). Otherwise, you will encounter following issue when opening Dashboard.
(Figure 3)
Figure 3.
2. Configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role
(1) In an existing domain environment
Firstly, please join the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard computer to the existing domain through the path:
Control Panel\System\Change Settings\”Change…”\Member of. (Figure 4)
Figure 4.
After that, please install Windows Server Essentials Experience role as original description. After installation completed, please use the following command to configure Windows
Server Essentials:
Start-WssConfigurationService –Credential <Your Credential>
Note: The type of
Your Credential should be as: Domain-Name\Domain-User-Account.
You must be a member of the Enterprise Admin group and Domain Admin group in Active Directory when using the command above to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 5)
Figure 5.
Next, you can type the password for the domain account. (Figure 6)
Figure 6.
After setting the credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 7)
Figure 7.
By the way, you can use
Get-WssConfigurationStatus
PowerShell cmdlet to
get the status of the configuration of Windows Server Essentials. Specify the
ShowProgress parameter to view a progress indicator. (Figure 8)
Figure 8.
(2) In a non-domain environment
Open PowerShell (Run as Administrator) on the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and type following PowerShell cmdlets: (Figure 9)
Start-WssConfigurationService -CompanyName "xxx" -DNSName "xxx" -NetBiosName "xxx" -ComputerName "xxx” –NewAdminCredential $cred
Figure 9.
After you type the commands above and click Enter, you can create a new administrator credential. (Figure 10)
After creating the new administrator credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 11)
After a reboot, all the configurations will be completed and you can open the Windows Server Essentials Dashboard without any errors. (Figure 12)
Figure 12.
Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

Part 2: Install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role remotely
In an existing domain environment
In an existing domain environment, please use following command to provide credential and then add Server Essentials Role: (Figure 13)
Add-WindowsFeature -Name ServerEssentialsRole
-ComputerName xxx -Credential DomainName\DomainAccount
Figure 13.
After you enter the credential, it will start install Windows Server Essentials role on your computer. (Figure 14)
Figure 14.
After the installation completes, it will return the result as below:
Figure 15.
Next, please use the
Enter-PSSession
cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with a remote computer. You can use the commands below:
Enter-PSSession –ComputerName
xxx –Credential DomainName\DomainAccount (Figure 16)
Figure 16.
Then, please configure Server Essentials Role via
Add-WssConfigurationService cmdlet and it also needs to provide correct credential. (Figure 17)
Figure 17.
After your credential is accepted, it will update and prepare your server. (Figure 18)
Figure 18.
After that, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 19)
Figure 19.
2. In a non-domain environment
In my test environment, I set up two computers running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and use Server1 as a target computer. The IP addresses for the two computers are as
below:
Sevrer1: 192.168.1.54
Server2: 192.168.1.53
Run
Enable-PSRemoting –Force on Server1. (Figure 20)
Figure 20.
Since there is no existing domain, it is necessary to add the target computer (Server1) to a TrustedHosts list (maintained by WinRM) on Server 2. We can use following command
to
add the TrustedHosts entry:
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts IP-Address
(Figure 21)
Figure 21.
Next, we can use
Enter-PSSession
cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with the remote computer. (Figure 22)
Figure 22.
After that, you can install Windows Server Essentials Experience Role remotely via Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet. (Figure 23)
Figure 23.
From figure 24, we can see that the installation is completed.
Figure 24.
Then you can use
Start-WssConfigurationService cmdlet to configure Essentials Role and follow the steps in the first part (configure Windows Server Essentials Experience in a non-domain environment) as the steps would be the same.
The figure below shows the status of Windows Server Essentials.
Figure
25.
Finally, we have successfully configured Windows Server Essentials on Server1. (Figure 26)
Figure 26.

How to change the DNS suffix from "home" on home h...

Strange question: I noticed with the DHCP lease coming from the HomeHub that there is a DNS suffix applied of "home".
I use a VPN connection to the office and I want it to take the VPN DNS suffix which it used to do on my old router where there was no other DNS suffix.
How can I remove this on the HomeHub? I have looked around in the DHCP settings in advanced mode but it isn't advanced enough!
I have got round the issue by adding the addesses on the VPN to my local hosts file, but I want a proper solution.
Any ideas how I can get really behind the scenes on the Home Hub?

It wasn't anything to do with the DNS suffix afterall (not that I could find where to change it).
From looking at other posts about VPN, it was to do with the BT automatic redirecting on DNS error which is automatically enabled.
Once I disabled the setting (can't remember the link but it is easy to find on the forum) then all my VPN addresses were working again.
Quite why BT would automatically enable a "service" that breaks a simple thing like a VPN connection is beyond me.

On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

How to change Asset Capitalization date ?

Hello
All Experts,
I want to chnage asset capitilizatio date so how can I ?
Experts guidance is needed.
Regards,
Pankaj.

Hi,
You can change the asset cap date at any point of time using AS02.
But the date in the First acquisition on cannot be changed, since it is a display field.
At the time of changing the cap date, system will shows an warning message like below.....
You should no longer change the capitalization date
Message no. AA225
Diagnosis
You have changed the asset capitalization date.
You can make this change, however this warning should make you aware of the consequences of such a change.}
And what is the business requirement to change the cap date?, since if you have already posted the dep posting, it doesnot make any adjustment to it.
Thanks,
Srinu
