How do i connect to SCVMM powershell cmdlet ??

Hi all,
I am trying to connect to scvmm powershell smdlet from SCVMM console but what i am getting is this:-
Get-SCVMMServer : You cannot access VMM management server localhost. (Error ID: 1604)
Contact the Virtual Machine Manager administrator to verify that your account is a member of a valid user role and
then try the operation again.
At line:1 char:409
+ ... $vmmserver_VAR=Get-SCVMMServer localhost -UserRoleName 'Administrator';
+                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ReadError: (:) [Get-SCVMMServer], CarmineException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 1604,Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.Cmdlets.ConnectServerCmdlet
Please help.
Thanks,
Pranay.

As was mentioned, SCVMM has its own security separate from Windows.
To use the PowerShell cmdlet you must be an SCVMM Administrator. No lower SCVMM user security level can use PowerShell.
With the information provided that is the only guess.
Since you are attempting to access localhost, I assume that you are launching the console on the SCVMM Server itself? Which means it is running in your logged on user security context.

PowerShell Cmdlet to rename a RDS Collection

Hi,
I am interacting with RDS Connection Broker via PowerShell Cmdlets. I want to rename a Collection using PowerShell Cmdlets. I have tried several Cmdlets specifically Set-RDVirtualDesktopCollectionConfiguration but it doesn't allow to change the name
of the collection. I know it is possible to rename using the RDS CB user interface but the requirements are to use only Power Shell cmdlets. Is it possible using cmdlets? or is there some other way to rename the collection without using RDS Connection Broker
user interface?
Thanks

How to send digitally sign S/MIME messages with Powershell cmdlet Send-MailMessage?

Hello,
using AD Windows PKI I assigned a certificate EKU (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.4) to sign emails and get this with
autoenrollment also to my CERT Store PS
CERT:\CurrentUser\UserDS\ or the certificate could found via MMC / certificates in the store structur under "Active Directory User Object".
Signed messages (red icon) to send as S/MIME message using Outlook 2010 is not a problem.
Using PowerShell cmdlet Send-MailMessage to be sent company notification for a new passwordpolicy some days before pwd expired?! I use the cmdlet already successfully to filling HTML bodies with variables and send to individuals accounts.
Reduced simplified PS code:
$SMTPBodyHtmlTemplate = Get-Content "C:\PS\Template\HTMLBody.html" | Out-String
Function SendEmailNotification # /* SEND E-MAIL Notification to User */#
[string] $SMTPServer = "mail.domain.local"
$CurrentUser = "$env:username"
[string]$SMTPFrom = (Get-ADUser $CurrentUser -properties mail).mail
[string[]] $SMTPTo = $($Obj.EmailAddress)
[string]$SMTPSubject = "Notification!"
[String]$SMTPBodyHtml = $SMTPBodyHtmlTemplate.Replace("UserDisplayname","$($UserDisplayname)")
Send-MailMessage -From $SMTPFrom -To $SMTPTo -Subject $SMTPSubject -BodyAsHtml $SMTPBodyHtml -dno OnFailure -SmtpServer $SMTPServer -encoding ([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8) -ErrorAction Continue
How can I use the PSDrive own CERT and using PowerShell cmdlet Send-MailMessage
to send a signed message, without development experience?
Thanks in advance for cooperation.

Hi,
could create with an other colleague a DLL file (with this informations) for successfully sending sign messages from PS-Script.
Function SendEmailNotification # /* SEND SIGN E-MAIL */#
$SMTPBodyHtmlTemplate = Get-Content "C:\PS\Template\HTML.html" | Out-String
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("C:\PS\Assembly\Cpi.Net.SecureMail.dll") | Out-Null
[string]$strSmtpServer = "smtp.domain.local"
[string]$strSmtpPort = "25"
[string]$strFrom = (Get-ADUser $CurrentUser -properties mail).mail
[string]$strFromAlias = (Get-ADUser $CurrentUser -properties DisplayName).DisplayName
[string]$strTo = $UserEmailAddress
[string]$strToAlias = $UserEmailDisplayName
[String]$strSubject = "Subject as you like"
[string]$strBody = $SMTPBodyHtmlTemplate.Replace("UserDisplayname","$($UserDisplayname)")
$objMail = New-Object Cpi.Net.SecureMail.SecureMailMessage
$objFrom = New-Object Cpi.Net.SecureMail.SecureMailAddress($strFrom,$strFromAlias,$objCert,$objCert)
$objTo = New-Object Cpi.Net.SecureMail.SecureMailAddress($strTo,$strToAlias)
$objMail.From = $objFrom
$objMail.to.Add($objTo)
$objMail.Subject = $strSubject
$objMail.Body = $strBody
$objMail.IsBodyHtml = $TRUE
$objMail.IsSigned = $TRUE
$objMail.IsEncrypted = $FALSE
$objSMTPClient = New-Object System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient($strSmtpServer,$strSmtpPort)
$objSMTPClient.Credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials
$objSMTPClient.send($objMail)
Maybe Microsoft can implement this in future versions of the cmdlets Send-MailMessage ;-)

How to supply an end point to powershell cmdlet Rename-Blob

[cross posted from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21352295/azure-storage-cmdlet-rename-blob-wants-an-endpoint]
I'm attempting to rename a blog to all lower case:
Rename-Blob -BlobUrl "https://ttseast.blob.core.windows.net/images/Add.png" -NewName "https://ttseast.blob.core.windows.net/images/add.png"
I've verified the blog URI by plugging it into a browser - however, attempting to execute the command tosses:
Rename-Blob : Blob URI does not correspond to storage account end point. A Blob URI must contain blob storage end point.
The arguments for Rename-Blob don't reference anything 'endpoint' - I've loaded the subscription so I should be authenticated and not forced to include AccountName/Key.
How to I determine (or set) the required end point?
thx

If I'm not mistaken, I believe you're using Cerebrata Azure Management Cmdlets as Windows Azure PowerShell Cmdlets do not have a Rename-Blob Cmdlet (Cerebrata has it).
To use Rename-Blob cmdlet, please try the following:
Rename-Blob -BlobUrl "https://ttseast.blob.core.windows.net/images/Add.png" -NewName "https://ttseast.blob.core.windows.net/images/add.png" -AccountName "ttseast" -AccountKey "<your accountkey>"
Thanks to Jaydonli for the alternate approach - turns out that while I thought I was using the native MS cmlets, in fact, I was using 3rd party CLI from Redgate. As per Gaurav Mantri at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21352295/azure-storage-cmdlet-rename-blob-wants-an-endpoint

How can I connect to a UNIX server to execute a command?

How can I connect to a UNIX server and execute a command using PowerShell? My shell script is sitting on one server, while the UNIX box is on another.
also, I don't like the idea of hardcoding a username/password within the script file in order to do so.
-Nothing to see. Move along.

You will need a library to handle SSH connections.
I'm using SSH.NET, you can find info on it here : http://www.powershelladmin.com/wiki/SSH_from_PowerShell_using_the_SSH.NET_library
It has a bit of a learning curve but the web site has some fairly good tutorials.

How to use UDL file in Powershell script?

Hello Scripting Guys,
I have a VBScript that works great for connecting to an Oracle DB using a .UDL file. Here is the important part of the script:
Set dataconnect = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Path= "File name=C:\UDLs\TEST.udl"
dataconnect.ConnectionString = Path
dataconnect.open
Set oCmd = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
oCmd.ActiveConnection = dataconnect
oCmd.CommandText = "SYSTEM.JOB.INSERT_JOB"
oCmd.CommandType = 4
set oParam = oCmd.CreateParameter("job_name_val")
oParam.type = 200
oParam.direction = 1
oParam.size = 255
oParam.value = job_name
oCmd.Parameters.Append oParam
set oParam = oCmd.CreateParameter("description")
oParam.type = 200
oParam.direction = 1
oParam.size = 4000
oParam.value = descrip
oCmd.Parameters.Append oParam
set oParam = oCmd.CreateParameter("status_val")
oParam.type = 200
oParam.direction = 1
oParam.size = 50
oParam.value = status
oCmd.Parameters.Append oParam
oCmd.Execute
As you can see, it creates "ADODB.Connection" and "ADODB.Command" objects. Everything works as intended here.
Now, I'm trying to convert this VBScript to a Powershell script.
Here's what I have so far with my PowerShell Script (non-working, but no errors):
$job_name = $args[0]
$status = $args[1]
$descrip = $args[2]
write-host "Job Name = " $job_name
write-host "Status = " $status
write-host "Description = " $descrip
#Create an object of type: ADODB class: Connection
$objConn = New-Object -com "ADODB.Connection"
#Create Connection String
$connString = "File name=C:\UDLs\TEST.udl"
#Open the connection
$objConn.open($connString)
#Command Object
$oCmd = New-Object -com "ADODB.Command"
#Assign DB connection To Command
$oCmd.ActiveConnection = $objConn
#Set Command text
$oCmd.CommandText = "SYSTEM.JOB.INSERT_JOB"
#Set Command Type
$oCmd.CommandType = 4
#Create parameter list For Command
#Job name Parameter
$oParam1 = $oCmd.CreateParameter("job_name_val")
$oParam1.type = 200
$oParam1.direction = 1
$oParam1.size = 255
$oParam1.value = $job_name
#Append parameter list
$oCmd.Parameters.Append($oParam1)
#Description Parameter
$oParam2 = $oCmd.CreateParameter("description")
$oParam2.type = 200
$oParam2.direction = 1
$oParam2.size = 4000
$oParam2.value = $descrip
#Append parameter list
$oCmd.Parameters.Append($oParam2)
#Status Parameter
$oParam3 = $oCmd.CreateParameter("status_val")
$oParam3.type = 200
$oParam3.direction = 1
$oParam3.size = 50
$oParam3.value = $status
#Append parameter list
$oCmd.Parameters.Append($oParam3)
#Command Execution
$oCmdX = $oCmd.Execute
write-host $oCmdX
#Cleanup
#Set parameters = To NULL
$oParam1 = $null
$oParam2 = $null
$oParam3 = $null
#Set Command = To NULL
$oCmd = $null
#Close DB object
$objConn.Close()
So, not too many changes with the syntax, but it doesn't actually send the ADODB Command to the Database. I have also tried hardcoding the connection string, but no luck there either. Am I not using the right syntax with the Command object? I am fairly new
to both of these languages, so I appreciate any help/suggestions you can offer!
Thank you,
Brian

Thanks JRV.
I am now getting this error (at least some feedback from Powershell now):
Exception calling "Open" with "1" argument(s): "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager
] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"
At C:\temp\JobMon.ps1:21 char:14
+ $objConn.open <<<< ($connString)
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComMethodTargetInvocation
The thing is, it shouldn't be using a Microsoft driver. It should be using the Oracle Client driver (which I have installed and tested successfully using TNSPing).
Do I need to declare some sort of "using System.Data.OracleClient namespace" like in C++? How would I do that in Powershell?
Thanks again,
Brian

RDS PowerShell CMDLETS Issues

I am working on some deployment scripts that will automatically add a Session Host to a new or existing collection at deployment. I am experiencing some inconsistency when it comes to the PowerShell CMDLETS for RDS.
For instance: The CMDLET Get-RDSessionCollection works on some servers and not on other servers...using the same command syntax.
The command I am trying to use as an example is: Get-RDSessionCollection -CollectionName "CollectionName" -ConnectionBroker "HA FQDN DNS name" I can never
get any of the RDS CMDLETS to work when I use the HA FQDN name of the connection brokers. If I use the server FQDN of the active connection broker...it works most of the time (have notice it not working on a few servers).
When trying to troubleshoot why the HA name doesn't work, when doing a packet capture...I don't even see DNS queries go out to try resolve the HA FQDN name I put in...I see DNS queries go
out for the server FQDN though.
Has anyone else experienced any issues with the CMDLETS? I am running Powershell as Administrator as well.

Welcome to the Apple community.
The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?

Goal
- I am trying to share both my PC and Mac through my Apple TV2 on the "Computers" home sharing menu.
- These are 2 seperate iTunes accounts as they are 2 different owners of the PC and Macbook.
- However, home sharing only allows me to have one at a time, can I not have 2 computers connected?
(The menu is in fact plural and says "Computers" not "Computer")
Attempt
-I turn on home sharing on my PC with my PC iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as PC
-I turn on home sharing on my Mac with my Mac iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as Mac, but it deletes the PC share
Troubleshoot
-So I started from scatch and connected the PC share with my PC itunes account, it shows up,
-Then I connect the Mac home sharing with the same iTunes login as my PC, but it also erases my PC from the "Computers" list and just displays the Mac.
Question
-How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?
-I want them both to show up in the "Computers" list.
-So the final result will look like this on my Apple TV menu:
Computers
-PC
-Mac
whew... I'm out of breath... I hope there is an Apple Genius out there that can help.
Thanks!

After retrying the home share with the SAME ITUNES ACCOUNT ON HOME SHARING I finally got it to work.

How do I connect an existing Behance account to a new Adobe ID account ?

Hello,
I am an existing Behance account holder.
I recently started a new job, where they give me access to a personal Macbook & Adobe cc account.
I want to link my existing Behance profile to my new Adobe CC account.
Is this even possible - If so how to I connect them ?
It would not be beneficial to create a new Behance profile.
Thanks,

Hello - absolutely! You just need to make sure that your Behance account is linked with that Adobe ID. Please login to your Behance account, then visit this link and choose "use a different Adobe ID" and enter your new Adobe ID with the CC account. From then on, you'll use that email address to login to Behance:Behance

How can I connect to a different database schema,other than adobe?

I'm building an application where I want to use a different database for it,for storing additional data for the users(different from "edcprincipaluserentity" table in "adobe" database stores)..How I can connect to my database schema created in MySQL from Workbench,to assign tasks to my users,using the Process Management/Assign Task service?

You can only assign task to user that are known by the LiveCycle User Manager.
When you configure LiveCycle, you can tell it where you want to get the users from. They can be created them locally in the local database, or synchronized from an LDAP directory in which case it'll read the users from LDAP and make a copy of some of the properties to the internal LiveCycle database.
Bottom line, all users have an id (in the edcprincipalentity table) in the adobe database.
If you need your users to come from a different database, then you need to customize the SPI (security provider interface) so that you can synchronize the users coming from your external database. Again, this is a customization since out of the box, we don't synchronize against external database. But it is possible, the API is there and other customers have done it.
I hope this clarifies things a bit.

How can I connect my MacBook Air to my Brother printer?

I have a Brother wireless printer and I'm trying to figure out how I can connect it to my MacBook Air. It came with 2 CDs, but since my laptop doesn't have a CD-rom, I obviously can't set it up that way. And the set up booklets don't say anything about this...can anyone help?

Any printer software that comes on CDs will either be available from the printer manufacturer's web site or from Apple. In fact, it is often more current than whatever versions are on the CDs or DVDs.
Also, in most cases, printers with wifi capabilities have to initially be setup by using a USB connection.
