Create VNet in resource group using PowerShell

I need to create a VNet within a Resource Group. The old portal lets me create a VNet but places it in a "Default-Networking" resource group which is not what we want (we have a naming convention to follow for programming etc). The
new portal lets me create a Resource Group but not a VNet. I am not a dev, I am a sysadmin so I do not use Visual Studio (which Resource Manager seems to be made for). I have tried using PowerShell (in ARM mode) by first making a Resource Group, and
then running a PowerShell command in an attempts to create a VNet and add it to the Resource Group:
New-AzureResource -ApiVersion 2014-06-01 -Location "Australia Southeast" -Name devausevnet -ResourceGroupName devausevnet -ResourceType Microsoft.ClassicNetwork/virtualNetworks
I got an error: "New-AzureResource : InvalidAuthorizationAppId: The appId <blah> is not allowed to make requests via API for 'PUT' operations..."
I tried doing this by making the resource group at the same time as calling the creation of a vnet via a template as well, but after prompting me for the values for the vnet, that got the exact same error.
I have found a page that suggests ARM is not yet able to create a VNet via PowerShell.
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/f40b24dc-8c82-411e-871a-be3710743ec1/unable-to-create-azure-virtual-machine-using-resource-group-template?forum=WAVirtualMachinesforWindows
OK, so how am I supposed to create a VNet in a Resource Group that has a name other than "Default-Networking" please?
While I love the direction Azure is heading, I am becoming very frustrated with the number of things like this that seem to be partially functional in the old portal, the new portal, PowerShell etc. If
there is no cohesive means of doing this as yet, is someone able to provide a work-around? Note that it is not yet even possible to rename a Resource Group otherwise I would have simply done that.
Any help appreciated! Cheers. =)

Hi,
Based on my experience, there is no resource type for virtual networks in Azure PowerShell. In addition, to define a virtual network, you need to configure the address space as the property. The article below may be helpful to you:
Azure Resource Manager– Creating a Resource Group and a VNET
Furthermore, you can create a virtual network in a new resource group or a new one in

Error while creating resource group using non-globalzones.

Dear all,

Hi Veera,
Actually you are getting a warning message where one of two things could have happened. Either you specified an incorrect zone name or one of the zones has not been fully booted. It's likely that you haven't booted the zones, so please follow this:
zoneadm list -iv
If zone1 or zone2 are not running then boot and configure them
zoneadm -z <zone> boot
zlogin -C <zone>
After that you can continue to follow the step by step instructions at

How do you create a new resource group from the new portal?

There's no option for new resource group when you click the "+" button. Am I missing something?

Unable to remove user from SharePoint Group using PowerShell

I am trying to remove a user from a SharePoint Group using PowerShell.
I can see the user in the Site Collection as part of the SharePoint Group, however, when I attempt to run the script, I get an error message stating "Can not find the user with ID: 10"
Below is the PowerShell script that I am using:
$url = "https://sharepointdev.spfarm.spcorp.com/sites/desitecoll"
$userName = "spfarm\sp2013_svc"
#$userName = "spfarm\spprofileimport";
$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url)
$web = $site.OpenWeb()
$siteGroups = $web.SiteGroups;
Clear-Host
$mySiteGroups = @();
foreach($group in $siteGroups)
Write-Host $group
$mySiteGroups += $group;
}#foreach
$members = $web.SiteGroups[$mySiteGroups[0]];
$owners = $web.SiteGroups[$mySiteGroups[1]];
$visitors = $web.SiteGroups[$mySiteGroups[2]];
#Remove the user from the specified SharePoint Group
$spUser = Get-SPUser -Identity $userName -Web $url
Write-Host $spUser.ID
Remove-SPUser -Identity $spUser -Web $url -Group $owners
$web.Update();
$web.Dispose();
Write-Host "User " $userName "removed from " $owners
Please advise.

I had to update the code to the following because Get-SPUser was not working properly:
$url = "https://sharepointdev.spfarm.spcorp.com/sites/desitecoll"
$userName = "spfarm\spprofileimport";
$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url)
$web = $site.OpenWeb()
$siteGroups = $web.Groups;
Clear-Host
$mySiteGroups = @();
foreach($group in $siteGroups)
Write-Host $group
$mySiteGroups += $group;
}#foreach
$members = $web.Groups[$mySiteGroups[0]];
$owners = $web.Groups[$mySiteGroups[1]];
$visitors = $web.Groups[$mySiteGroups[2]];
#Convert the user name to an SPUser account
$spUser = $web.Site.RootWeb.EnsureUser($userName);
Write-Host $spUser.ID
Remove-SPUser -Identity $spUser -Web $url -Group $owners
$web.Update();
$web.Dispose();
Write-Host "User " $userName "removed from " $owners
Was I not using Get-SPUser correctly?

The command:

shows the display names of the 14 outbound rules in the FPS group:

File and Printer Sharing (NB-Session-Out)
File and Printer Sharing (SMB-In)
File and Printer Sharing (SMB-Out)
File and Printer Sharing (NB-Name-In)
File and Printer Sharing (NB-Name-Out)

File and Printer Sharing (NB-Datagram-Out)

File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv6-In)
File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv6-Out)
File and Printer Sharing (LLMNR-UDP-In)
File and Printer Sharing (LLMNR-UDP-Out)
If your output is different than this, it means rules have been removed (or added) to the File and Print Sharing group.
For example, if you run the command:
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "My test rule 2" -group "File and Printer Sharing" -Enabled True -Protocol tcp -LocalPort 12346 -Direction Inbound
This adds a new inbound firewall rule to the FPS group. Output looks like:
Name : {06449724-944b-4048-834f-8870b9dce4f6}
DisplayName : My test rule 2
Description :
DisplayGroup : File and Printer Sharing
Group : File and Printer Sharing
Enabled : True
Profile : Any
Platform : {}
Direction : Inbound
Action : Allow
EdgeTraversalPolicy : Block
LooseSourceMapping : False
LocalOnlyMapping : False
Owner :
PrimaryStatus : OK
Status : The rule was parsed successfully from the store. (65536)
EnforcementStatus : NotApplicable
PolicyStoreSource : PersistentStore
PolicyStoreSourceType : Local
This test rule is of course useless because there's no listener on TCP port 12346 on this particular machine..
The new rule can also be viewed in Windows Firewall with Advanced Security:
Now if you run the command:
(Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "File and Printer Sharing" -Direction Inbound).DisplayName
the output will look like:
File and Printer Sharing (Spooler Service - RPC)
File and Printer Sharing (Spooler Service - RPC-EPMAP)
My test rule 2

How to create a profit center group using MDG-F?

Given that there is a controlling area CA created in ECC. under which there is a standard profit center hierarchy let us call it ABCD created. Under ABCD, there is a Profit Center Group PCG01 already created in ECC. Now what steps (or screens) I should go through on MDG-F if I want to create another profit center group PCG02 that should be placed under PCG01? Thanks for your help.

Hi ,
First of all you need to create Profit Center from Create Change Request by selecting the change request type of PCTR Single Processing.
Complete the all approval of the Profit center. Once your PCTR gets activated , it will go & sits into MDG tables ONLY.
You have to make a replication setup of Local replication for replicating this created PCTR via MDG to the ECC Back end so that you can see the same data in the CEPC table.
Once you are done with this, use Collective Processing form Change Request of PFCG role where you can create your PCTRG & PCTRH . You can assign the PCTR to PCTRG & PCTRH accordingly.
Hope this answers your all questions.
Best Regards,
Kaustubh

Creating a diskpart script file using Powershell

Hi,
I have a very odd (and very annoying) problem...
I have a powershell script which creates a diskpart file to online any given number of iSCSI attached disks. The powershell script takes input from a csv which includes the disk numbers then creates a txt file with the relevent diskpart commands (e.g
select disk X, online disk, etc..)
The powershell script runs without error and creates the output file, however when I attempt to run diskpart with the outputfile (i.e. diskpart /s outputfile.txt) diskpart does not acknowledge/accept the file and just returns a list of valid commands.
Yet if I manually create a empty txt file via Windows Explorer and copy and paste the contents of the powershell generated script file in to it, then run the diskpart against this file all works as expected.
So it seems as though that in writing to the file via powershell something is happening to the file fortmatting which diskpart does not like - any ideas what?
I have tried several work arounds including manually creating the txt file before running the powershell and creating the txt file explicitly from powershell but get the same result.
Although I can workaround the issue as described above it would be nice to get this working as intended, or least understand why the problem occurs - so any help/advice would (as always) be much appreciated!
for reference the powershell script is detailed below:
$a="select disk "
$b="attributes disk clear readonly"
$c="online disk"
import-csv .\input.csv | foreach {
$a+$_.diskNumber >> outputfile.txt
$b >> outputfile.txt
$c >> outputfile.txt

Kazun,
Thank you for sharing your script. I tired it but did not work for me. I modified yours slightly to configure 134 SAN devices as mount points. I've already set the SAN policy to OnlineAll and cofigured 4 other devices. When I run the diskpart
commands per disk from CLI its works. Please let me know what I'm missing.Thank you.

Can't create disk image: "Resource in use"

I'm trying to make a disk image of my internal hard drive on my external hard drive using Disk Utility, prior to installing a new internal hard drive, so I can migrate the original hard drive's contents to the new internal hard drive. But when I go to Disk Utility, and try to make a disk image of the internal hard drive (File>New>Disk Image from Drive[name]), it briefly starts to make the copy but then quickly goes to a screen that says "Unable to create "disk0.dmg. Resource busy"
ANY CLUES AT TO WHAT THIS MEANS?
IS THERE ANY BETTER WAY TO MAKE A FULL COPY OF MY CURRENT INTERNAL HARD DRIVE FOR THE PURPOSE OF COPYING BACK ONCE I HAVE A NEW HARD DRIVE INSTALLED?
Thanks!

It's not actually a bug, it's just not possible. Windows won't even let you backup the system drive while you are booted in it. You need third party software, such as SuperDuper, CCC (Carbon Copy Clone), or Norton Ghost (Windoz only).
It must be done while not booted onto the primary system. Using the Disk Utility while booted from the installatin disk is possible, but not recommended. Best to use DU from OS X of the same minor version to create the disk image. Example, if your system is OS X 10.4.9 use DU from 10.4.9 to create the disk. This is only possible if you have another computer connected to yours.
An alternative, is to have a bare bones copy of OS X 10.4.9 (or whatever your version is) on an external drive. Make sure it's updated with the latest updates and the permissions are verifided. Then copy your primary volume while booted from the external drive.

No Resource Group created

Hi,
all I have an Azure Test account and I wanted to set up a SharePoint Testfarm.
Nearly everything works fine, but the field, where I have to type in a resource Group NEVER turns green. No matter what I put there.
Any Ideas? Did I miss something upfront?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Thanks for Posting.
Since the portal is still in preview, we might not be able to provide an immediate solution to the issue.
However you can try the following steps and let us know if it works.
Try using a different browser and check
Clear cookies and temporary files in Browser and check again.
Have you tried creating a new Resource Group after some time, and did it work.
You can try creating a Sharepoint farm using Powershell using the following links

new-aduser $LoginName -GivenName $FirstNameField -Surname $LastnameField -DisplayName $Displayname -UserPrincipalName "$[email protected]" -ChangePasswordAtLogon $true -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString –AsPlainText “password1password_1” -Force) -Path "OU=$OU,OU=User,OU=Company,DC=domain,DC=com" -Company $Company -Department $Department -enabled $true -EmployeeNumber $EmployeeNumber -Description $EmployeeNumber -EmailAddress $SMTPAdresse -Division $Division

Hi Ganapathys,
For the error "failed due to the following error: 80080005", please Make sure that Outlook and Powershell are either both running as a standard user (not elevated) or that they are both running elevated as Administrator. They need to be running at the same
integrity level to avoid that error.
Please try to run powershell as standard user without "run as admin".

Creating Windows Basic Task using powershell

Hello Everyone,
Please help me out in the below situation:
I have to create a basic windows task using powershell to run a script on a specific date and time.
Let me make it even clear :
I have a csv say,
D:\xyz.csv
ServerName , Date , Time
Random1, 11/15/2014,01:00:00PM
Random2, 12/01/2015,03:00:00PM
...and so on
I also have a script at E:\TestingServer.ps1
I need to create list of windows tasks to invoke TestingServer.ps1 with parameters as servername and Time of task as given date and time in csv.
Task1- with input as ServerName at Date and time from CSV
Task2-with input as ServerName at Date and time from CSV

Well here is a good article showing howto do this:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/09/18/create-a-powershell-scheduled-job.aspx
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Using Powershell to execute DBCC CheckDB from SQL Agent.

So, I have a weird situation that I think is tied tot he resource group and powershell, but I am having trouble determining if it is that or not. I run DBCC CheckDB using a resource pool and a secondary account. The account has permissions to do the work
and if I log onto the server and run the procedure locally it runs fine in the resource pool configuration. However, when I kick it from the SQL Agent job using the powershell step, it only does checkDB on the first 3 system databases and then stops once it
hits a user database. I am not seeing any errors or messages, it just stops. I ran profiler and I see it do the work, get to the first user database, issues this statement from DBCC, then just stops, and the job ends.
SELECT @BlobEater = CheckIndex (ROWSET_COLUMN_FACT_BLOB)
FROM { IRowset 0xD0936A7902000000 }
GROUP BY ROWSET_COLUMN_FACT_KEY
>> WITH ORDER BY
  ROWSET_COLUMN_FACT_KEY,
  ROWSET_COLUMN_SLOT_ID,
  ROWSET_COLUMN_COMBINED_ID,
  ROWSET_COLUMN_FACT_BLOB
OPTION (ORDER GROUP)
I am not doing anything special in my code that would limit which databases to process. As I said earlier, executing the call to the procedure from a query window runs as expected and processes all of the databases.
Here is the Agent Code calling powershell:
[string] $DayOfWeek = ""
$DayOfWeek = (get-date).DayOfWeek.ToString()
$DayOfWeek
if ($DayOfWeek -eq 'Sunday')
invoke-sqlcmd -database sysadm -serverinstance HQIOSQLDEV01\DEV01 "exec ConsistencyCheck.upConsistencyCheck NULL, 'N', 'Y', 'N', 'N', 'N'"
else
invoke-sqlcmd -database sysadm -serverinstance HQIOSQLDEV01\DEV01 "exec ConsistencyCheck.upConsistencyCheck NULL, 'Y', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N'"
John M. Couch

There are 3 additional databases. The last known good is today as I am able to execute the procedure via query window just fine. It is only when executed from a SQL Agent job as above that it stops after only doing the System Databases. The largest database
is 130GB in size, with the largest table being 62 GB.

Similar logical host resource configured on 2 different resource groups

hi,
I had an issue with logical host setup as follows.
Background
We had a failover resource group RGA which is running a critical Oracle instance and listener process.
It has a logical host resource ora-lh-rs configured with logical host pointing to VirtualHostA.
I need to create another failover resource group called RGB with another Oracle instance.
Now at present this Oracle instance (Not under cluster control yet) is listening to the same logical host - VirtualHostA as RGA.
When I create this new resource group RGB, I need to configure it to share the same logical host as RGA.
The problem is if I need to add the logical host resource ora-lh-rs with VirtualHostA to this RGB, I foresee that there will be an IP address conflict if I failover RGB to the other cluster node (If my guess is wrong, but logically there should be an IP address conflict if SUN Cluster does not block me from adding the same logical host resource to RGB).
Question
Is there any other way to overcome this issue other than to configure the second Oracle instance to listen on a different logical IP?
To add, RGB is a less priority Oracle instance and will always need to be with RGA on the same node.
Any suggestions are welcome. My apology if this question sounds stupid as I do not have an UAT environment to test.
Thanks
ldd76

HI Tim,
Thanks very much for your kind advice. I must say that I have very little experience with SUN Cluster so I beg your pardon if my concept is too superficial.
The reason why I cannot put both Oracle instance in the same RG is because that' s my boss initial proposal. I will speak to her again on the log_only option.
But can I confirm that the command looks like this after I add the resources to RGA.
scrgadm -cj rgb-ora-rs -y Failover_mode=LOG_ONLY (Oracle server)
scrgadm -cj rgb-lsn-rs -y Failover_mode=LOG_ONLY (Oracle Listener)
scrgadm -cj rgb-hasp-rs -y Failover_mode=LOG_ONLY (HA Storage Plus)
As for the logical host questions, it has been legacy that both the Oracle instance listens on the same logical IP(Just that the new and less critical Oracle instance is not under cluster control yet)
But my gut feel for the reason behind this is that the less important Oracle instance is always running on the same node where RGA is running (since that Oracle instance is used for data warehousing with data replicated from the more critical Oracle instance only) else it is meaningless. Thats my guess why ony one logical IP is used.
If the direction is still to use RG_affinities, then if I tweak the following steps a bit will it work?
1) Create RGB.
2) Activate RGB - scswitch -Z -g RGB
3) Offline RGB - scswitch -F -g RGB
4) Failover RGA to the other node
5) Failover RGB to the other node
6) Offline RGB on the other node
7) Failover RGA back to the original node
8) Failover RGB back to the original node
Thanks.
