Executing DPM Powershell Commands

Hi All,
I am trying to execute DPM 2012 Powershell commands from a console application in c#, but at the time of Invoke it is giving me the following error.
{"Could not load file or assembly 'ACM, Version=1.0.523.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.":"ACM, Version=1.0.523.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"}
Below is my code.
var runspace = PShell.GetRunSpace();
if (runspace.RunspaceStateInfo.State == RunspaceState.BeforeOpen)
runspace.Open();
var pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
pipeline.Commands.AddScript("$installPath = (Get-ItemProperty \"HKLM:\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\\Setup\" \"UIInstallPath\").UIInstallPath");
pipeline.Commands.AddScript("$dpmModuleFullPath = $installPath + \"Modules\\DataProtectionManager\\DataProtectionManager.psd1\"");
pipeline.Commands.AddScript("Import-Module $dpmModuleFullPath");
pipeline.Commands.AddScript("$pg=get-protectiongroup -dpmserver dpm-2012-01");
pipeline.Commands.AddScript("$pg");
try
System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<PSObject> result = pipeline.Invoke();
foreach (PSObject obj in result)
var name = obj.Properties["FriendlyName"].Name;
catch (Exception e)

Set-DPMGlobalProperty -KnownVMMServers - DPM Powershell command fails

Hello,
I must be over looking a step and hope that someone can point out something obvious I am missing.
We are running SCDPM 2012 SP1 on a Win server 2012 and SCVMM 2012 SP1 on another Win 2012 server.
I want to setup DPM to automatically protect our VM's when they're migrated around on our Server 2012 Hyper-V hosts.
The SCDPM2012 Server has the Hyper-V role added and has the SCVMM console installed. The SCVMM console on the SCDPM server and SCVMM server are the same version 2012 SP1 Version 3.1.6018.0.
The SCDPM agent is installed on the SCVMM server. On the SCVMM server I have granted administrator rights to the SCDPM server account.
On the SCDPM server I open an Admin elevated powershell and import the dpm modules. When I then try to run Set-DPMGlobalProperty –DPMServerName MyDpmServerName -KnownVMMServers MySCVMMServerName I get the following Error.
WARNING: Connecting to DPM server: MyDPMServer
Set-DPMGlobalProperty : DPM was unable to configure and start the VmmHelperService on the DPM Server.
Server name: MyDPMServer.
Exception Message: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed. (ID: 33399)
1) Verify that VMM Console features are installed on the DPM Server.
2) To reconfigure the VMM server in DPM, use the Set-DPMGlobalProperty cmdlet as follows:
Set-DPMGlobalProperty -DpmServerName <DPMServerName> -KnownVMMServers <VMMServerName>.
At line:2 char:1
+ Set-DPMGlobalProperty –DPMServerName schooldpm02.dundeecity.sch.uk -KnownVMMServ ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-DPMGlobalProperty], DlsException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : FailedToConfigureVmmHelperService,Microsoft.Internal.EnterpriseStorage.Dls.UI.
   Cmdlet.SetGlobalProperty
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Alex

The problem could be related to registry permissions. The DPM VMM Helper service should be running under the NetworkService account and it may not have read/write permissions on the key: "Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\2.0\Configuration"
Please verify the System/Network Service account has read/write permissions on this registry key and try rerunning the command.
Thanks,

Execute powershell commands on a VM from the host.

I’m wondering if it’s possible to execute PowerShell commands from the host that will be execute on a virtual machine.
I have around 10 VM and I need to run the same command on all of it and I need to do the same in other 15 host.
None of the VM belong to the same domain.

Yes, it's possible.
It's not recommended to do any administrative tasks from the host. You should remove the GUI and all roles from the host except things related to Hyper-V and used in your environment like Failover Clustering and MPIO.
As a best practice, set a Windows 8.1 VM as your management station and install RSAT tools on it including Hyper-V Manager. It also comes with Powershell modules you need to run Powershell commands and scripts against all your hosts and VMs.
On the machines to be managed by Powershell you need to enable Powershell Remoting. In Server 2012 and above and Windows 8 and above this is enabled out of the box (even core versions). In older versions of Windows
enable Powershell Remoting manually as shown in this post.
On the management Win 8.1 VM that has RSAT installed, if the managed machines belong to the same domain as the managing station, you're good to go. If not, run this command on the managing station:
winrm s winrm/config/client "@{TrustedHosts=""My2003Server,host2,host3,vm4""}"
Execute your scripts against multiple machines by using Invoke-Command as in:
'Computer1','Computer2','Computer3' | % {
$Result = Invoke-Command -Computer $_ -ScriptBlock {
Get-Process
$Result
This example, will execute the commands in the scriptblock on each of the 3 computers in line1, and return the result.

Execute powershell command (new-object -comObject ...) in management pack

Hello everyone
I have a COM Object that want to use it in my management pack. When I write the powershell command "new-object -comObject ... " to create it outside of MP and in a ps1 file it works without any error. However when I write it in my MP, this
error is showed in event viewer: "Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {clsID} failed due to the following error: 80070005 Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))."
I have to mention that when I use vb script in my MP and using "CreateObject()", I don't have any problem.
How can I use "new-object -comObject ... " in my management pack?
thank you all
Alireza

Hi Marthijn,
Actually I don't have any problem with powershell in my management packs. For example I can use "MOM.ScriptAPI"
to create $oBag and return it to next module. My problem is only with that custom COM object. Interesting thing is that, it
works fine when I create it in powershell file outside of MP, but when I create it in my MP, that error occures.
thank you so much
Alireza

An unknown error occurred while executing the PowerShell script:

Hello all,
Not the most descriptive title, granted. I'm hoping this may prompt the next version toprovide additional valuable content.
Kindly requesting any help on this problem. I'm running VMM 2012 R2 version 3.2.7668
When I try to look at properties of an existing Private Cloud, I get this error, only if I "look" at certain attributes. If I stay away from the specific attributes, everything is hunky dory. For reasons unknown, after I get this error, I have
to exit and go back into VMM in order to get anything else to run.
The text in the error dialogue box is not entirely applicable because I was connected to the VMM server and will connect again, when I exit/relaunch.
An unknown error occurred while executing the PowerShell script:
The connection to the VMM management server scvmm2.mmmmmm.com was lost.
Ensure that scvmm2.mmmmmm.com is online and that you can access the server remotely from your computer. Then connect to scvmm2.mmmmmm.com and try the command again using the new connection. Or, you can ensure that the Virtual Machine Manager service is started
on scvmm2.mmmmmm.com. Then connect to scvmm2.mmmmmm.com and try the command again using the new connection. If the command fails again because of a connection failure, restart the Virtual Manager service and then try the operation again.
Try the operation again. If the issue persists, contact Microsoft Help and Support.

This may be a bit late and perhaps not even relevant but I came across this post when trying to solve an issue I had with a powershell script in Orchestrator. Maybe it will help you, or maybe it will help someone else.
I was trying to create a connector between SCOM and our ticketing system. I wanted to export alert descriptions and in the process of testing I came across an alert description that had multiple lines and all kinds of crazy formatting. When I tried to assign
the Published Data to a varialbe in my powershell script i would get an error "Unexpected token [a partial alert description] in expression or statement.". After looking at the actual alert description data and seeing that i was only getting some of it
and not all of it it dawned on me that i somehow needed to escape out of all the crazy quoting, carriage returns, and special characters. to do that i assigned the Published Data to a variable in my powershell script as follows:
$Description = @"
{Description from "Get Alert"}
Apparently the @" "@ is called a here-string. Somewhat interesting. Hope it helps you or someone else!

How to Stop the powershell command execution in C#

I am executing powershell command synchronously. Binded a eventhandler, which
runs successfully when data is emitted by pipeline. When some condition met, i wish to stop powershell command execution,
but when i call pipeLine.Stop(), program just hangs indefinitely. May i know what is going wrong?
Command shellCommand = new Command("Get-MsolUser");
Pipeline pipeLine = powerShellRunspace.CreatePipeline();
pipeLine.Commands.Add(shellCommand);
pipeLine.Input.Close();
pipeLine.Output.DataReady += delegate(object sender,EventArgs args) {
try {
PipelineReader<PSObject> output = sender as PipelineReader<PSObject>;
if (output != null) {
bool isCompleted = false;
while (output.Count > 0 && !isCompleted) {
PSObject pso = (PSObject)output.Read();
isCompleted = addDataDelegate(pso);
if (isCompleted) {
pipeLine.Stop(); //HANGS HERE
log("JUST STOPPED PIPELINE..");
} catch(Exception ex) {
log(ex.ToString());
pipeLine.Invoke();

You may need to switch to InvokeAsync. I can't find any documentation on this, so it may come down to trial and error, but the synchronous Invoke method may not be playing well with attempts to call pipeLine.Stop().

Hi,
I'm trying to run a powershell script from a context menu, I've been able to create a context menu, however, when I attempt to run the script it will only run at the default location. What I'd like to do is right-click a folder then click "Do Script"
and have it run the script with the location set to the directory I right clicked.
So for clarities sake, if I right click C:\example then when the script runs it should recognize .\ as C:\example
This is what I currently have in my registry entry. However it's shouting about how there is no parameter for Set-Location that matches -File, I can see that it's taking the Set-Location command, then it's trying to see if -File will is a perameter for it,
but I' trying to use -File for the powershell command. Anyone have any ideas for that?
PowerShell -Command "Set-Location -LiteralPath '%V'" -File C:\script\Test.ps1
Any ideas? I'm wondering if there is something in Powershell like how Bash has something like this to do commands inline
$ > Command -parameter <arg> && Command -parameter <arg>

To setup a script to launch in a men from within a context menu you must create a the following.
Create the following keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell\<Script Name>
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell\<Script Name>\command
Within <Script Name> change the (Default) value to the words you want to have as a context menu example, "Launch Script Here".
Within the command Key change the (Default) value to
PowerShell.exe -File "C:\Script_location\script_name.ps1" "%v"
PowerShell.exe is executed with the -File flag followed by the scripts exact location and "%v " is a variable pointing to the location that was selected.

Executing sharepoint Powershell through C#

I was writing a console application to execute nctrl status command through a C# program. I wrote a piece of code adding reference to "System.Management.Automation" and create a powershell instance . But the program does not recognise the command
"nctrl status" . Even i tried adding snapin through AddScript command in the program.. but it failed. One thing i observed is "powershell.create " command opens command prompt 32 bit. I think this is the problem. How can i make it open
"Powershell for sharepoint". Any suggestions...?

Please take a look at this console application that works fine for me. But bear in mind that if you are using Share Point commands your project must be compiled to target either x64 platform or Any CPU platform
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

using System.Management.Automation.Runspaces;

Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(InitialSessionState.CreateDefault());
runspace.Open();
string script = "Get-SPSite";
PowerShell powerShellCommand = PowerShell.Create();
powerShellCommand.Runspace = runspace;
powerShellCommand.AddScript("Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell");
powerShellCommand.AddScript(script);
foreach (string result in powerShellCommand.Invoke<string>())
Console.WriteLine(result);
runspace.Close();

How to Execute Power Shell Command From Windows Application.

Hi All Experts,
I want to execute power shell commands from my windows application.
Is it possible ?
Please let me know your comments..
Thanks.

I have not tried this, but apprently it is easy as in the sample pasted below. please see this article for more details
http://geekswithblogs.net/Norgean/archive/2012/09/19/running-powershell-from-within-sharepoint.aspx.
Let me know how it goes...
public string RunPowershell(string powershellText, SPWeb web, string param1, string param2) {
// Powershell ~= RunspaceFactory - i.e. Create a powershell context
var runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
var resultString = new StringBuilder();
try
// load the SharePoint snapin - Note: you cannot do this in the script itself (i.e. add-pssnapin etc does not work)
PSSnapInException snapInError;
runspace.RunspaceConfiguration.AddPSSnapIn("Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell", out snapInError);
runspace.Open();
// set a web variable.
runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("webContext", web);
// and some user defined parameters
runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("param1", param1);
runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("param2", param2);
var pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
pipeline.Commands.AddScript(powershellText);
// add a "return" variable
pipeline.Commands.Add("Out-String");
// execute!
var results = pipeline.Invoke();
// convert the script result into a single string
foreach (PSObject obj in results)
resultString.AppendLine(obj.ToString());
finally
// close the runspace
runspace.Close();
// consider logging the result. Or something.
return resultString.ToString();
Ok. We've written some code. Let us test it.
var runner = new PowershellRunner();
runner.RunPowershellScript(@"
$web = Get-SPWeb 'http://server/web' # or $webContext
$web.Title = $param1
$web.Update()
$web.Dispose()
", null, "New title", "not used");

Custom SharePoint 2010 designer page throws "The data source control failed to execute the insert command" exception while adding the new item after the August 13, 2013 CU has installed

We have the SharePoint Server 2010 with SP1 environment on which the custom SP2010 designer pages were working as expected before the
August 13, 2013 CU has installed. But, getting the below exception while trying to add the new item after the CU has installed.

I have tried changing the "DataSourceMode" as below, now the insert command is working, but update command is not working.
<SharePoint:SPDataSource runat="server" DataSourceMode="ListItem" />
Also, the lookup dropdown fields are displaying the value as "<a href="Daughterhttp://cpsp10/sites/Employees/_layouts/listform.aspx?PageType=4&ListId={8F62F444-FB6A-4F03-9522-C4696B45DCD1}&ID=10&RootFolder=*">Daughter</a>"
instead of only "Daughter".
Please provide the solution to get rid of this issue.
Thanks

While there can be many causes for this generic error message, in my case the first parameter or ddwrt:DataBind function inside the SharePoint:FormFields element was
'i' and I was working with an Edit Form. Changing it to
'u' as it was with every other FormField fixed the issue.
<SharePoint:FormField runat="server" id="ff1{$Pos}" ControlMode="Edit" FieldName="Esittaja" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('u',concat('ff1',$Pos),'Value','ValueChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Esittaja')}"
/>
Explanation:
DataBind operation type parameters (the first parameter) are listed below:
'i' stands for INSERT,
'u' stands for UPDATE,
'd' stands for DELETE.

Issue while executing the discovery command from target nodes

Hi Experts.
I had to create cluster two node using openfile, after creation of successful lun and associated partition from all the nodes i have changed the ip address of openfiler.
After changing the IP on open filer.
A) openfile version:-
[root@san ~]# uname -r
2.6.26.8-1.0.11.smp.pae.gcc3.4.x86.i686
B) Linux Oel5:-
[root@rac1 ~]# uname -r
2.6.18-194.el5xen
[root@rac1 ~]#
1:- I am able to ping and ssh etc from any node to openfiler.
However, while executing the below command i am facing the below exception..
service iscsi restart
Stopping iSCSI daemon:
iscsid dead but pid file exists [ OK ]
Starting iSCSI daemon: [ OK ]
[ OK ]
Setting up iSCSI targets: iscsiadm: No records found!
[ OK ]
[root@rac1 ~]#
Moreover, tried to discover the targets, unfortunately no message is getting displayed after execution of this below command.
[root@rac1 ~]# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.37.200
[root@rac1 ~]#
The quick response will be appreciated as my whole test case is down as of now due storage issues.
Thanks,
Arch.

Are you running a firewall that needs to be adjusted to support your changed Openfiler IP network?

Executing an OS command !!

Hi
Have anyone tried executing an OS command in UNIX(AIX) with SP12 File/FTP adapter ?
We have created a shell script , ve given execute permissions for all(chmod 777) and tried executing it using file adapter , but we dont see it working.
Ve referred to the weblog & few forum threads, but could'nt get to work
checked an SAP note , but all it talks abt is the way the implementation has been changed from SP13 . Does this mean it never works in SP12 ? pls let know
Regards
Saravana

Hi Saravan,
You can try writing a log to another file for each command in your shell script. Atleast you would know why exactly the command is failing.
Something similar to this inside your script itself..
