How to bring a prompt to User sitting on a laptop/desktop using Power shell command/script before machine gets rebooted.

Hi Experts,
I am a novice in Powershell and trying to learn PowerShell.
Currently, i need to reboot some 50-60 desktops remotely.
i am using the below powershell command
gc c:\Temp\machineList.txt |%{Restart-computer -computername $_ -force}
It is working perfect for me but what i want is before machine gets rebooted User should get a prompt like "Your machine will be rebooted in 60 seconds, Please save your work".
How i can achieve this in a powershell script.
Thanks in advance.

an other option is to start taskmanager on Domain Controller
go to users right click user Object send message
regards Thomas Paetzold visit my blog on: http://sus42.wordpress.com
"taskmanager"?
That only works for users logged into the dc. Users should not be allowed to log into the DC directly.
I suspect you mean to use the MSG facility if it is not disabled. MSG /?. This can send messages to uses on various systems.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How to get site permissions using power shell ?

Hello,
I require to get list of granted permissions ( Group/users ) which we see from Site Actions > Site Permissions.

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");

Any good Power Shell command or script to see connected users in real time for Lync 2013

Are there any good Power Shell commands or scripts that can tell you how many users are connected to a pool in real time so you can evaluate the current load. I have 3 FE servers in a single pool. We just started deploying the lync client to the users and
were curious as to how many are actually connected. I saw a number of home made scripts but really didn't care for any of them. I just want to find out how many users that are actually connected to the pool at a particular moment so we can see how many users
are really using the product.

Have you looked at Pat Richard's get-csconnections script?: http://www.ehloworld.com/269

[Solved] How to adjust parameters of an SSIS package in SQL Server when using an SSISDB execution Script (=SP)

Hello,
I created a package in Visual Studio Integration Services, where it runs successfully.
I then deployed it to SQL server 2012. Here to it runs successfully, too.
Then I changed the script in that I exchanged two variables for two parameters - doing the same thing.
I noticed that in VS no dialog window comes up where I could change the value of the parameters; here obviously I am expected to set them in Visual Studio.
However, in SQL Server 2012 the dialog window does come up when I execute the package. I can then change the value of my two parameters and the package runs OK, giving me the expected results.
Now I created a script in SQL Server from which to execute the package. Do I have to change the script every time when I want it to run with different values for the parameters?
So far I have not even found how to feed different values for the parameters into the package by using the script. Or could I tell the script somehow to bring up the dialog window for changing the parameters?
How can I set/change the package parameters by using an SSIS execution script in SQLserver?
Or how could I bring up the dialog window thru the script?
Would s.o have an example?
Help is greatly appreaciated.
Thank you
Andreas

Hi,
I found out by myself and leave the answer here should s.b. else wonder about the same issue.
Look at this:
Declare
@var0 sql_variant
= 1
Exec
[SSISDB].[catalog].[set_execution_parameter_value]
@execution_id,
@object_type=30,
@parameter_name='MaxPosition',
@parameter_value=@var0
Declare
@var1 nvarchar
= 'x'
Exec
[SSISDB].[catalog].[set_execution_parameter_value]
@execution_id,
@object_type=30,
@parameter_name='NameContains',
@parameter_value=@var1
Now, what is important and was not evident to me is:
1) The variable you use for the parameters - here var0 and var1 must match in their data type the corresponding parameter used in the package.
2) The @parameter_name must match the corresponding parameter name in the package.
3) The value that is being passed to the respective package parameter is the value you specify in the Declare statement. So in my case a string x and an int 1 is used.
4) Of course the @object_type must be set to 30 for package parameters
Then the script runs the package with adjusted parameters.
To many this might be evident, to me it was not.

[Solved] stumpwm: how to get rid of newline using run-shell-command

Hi all,
in order to set up my mode-line for stumpwm, I've been using the commad
run-shell-command such as in:
(setf *screen-mode-line-format*
(list
'(:eval (run-shell-command "date" t))
'(:eval (run-shell-command "date" t))))
However, each instance of run-shell-command creates an unnecessary
newline (so that my mode line contains two lines without necessity).
Do you know how I can get rid of this newline?
Thanks!

I didn't test it but the function you want is 'string-trim' or 'string-right-trim'.
You use it like this:
(string-trim '(#\Newline) my-string)
So in your case:
(setf *screen-mode-line-format*
(list
'(:eval (string-trim '(#\Newline)
(run-shell-command "date" t)))
'(:eval (run-shell-command "date" t))))
That works perfectly well. Thanks a lot jiyuu!!

How do I edit the file where sites which I have typed in on the command line are stored? These are sites which I no onger use.

At times I type in a site name on the command line which I want to visit. This goes into a file which is accessed by highlighting the triangle on the right side of command line. This file contains previous sites which were accessed in the past. How do I edit this file and and remove previous site URLs?

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

How do I refer to a user defined field in a query (using $ notation) ?

if i have a user defined field in Invoice header called U_Test, and if I need to read it using a query (to be used on a formatted search).
I am not quite sure of the syntax. can anyone help please?
I tried
$[$U_Test.0.0] which is the accepted way with fields with numerical ids such as $[$8.0.0] etc.
appreciate any help,
Indika.

Hi all,
Aliw, the 38 is not the form number, is the Item Number (which I guess is a matrix). In your case the User Defined Field is a line UDF. In Indika´s case is a header UDF.
And that´s the issue. As the indika´s UDF is a header UDF, it lays in a different form (which is named "-" + Main Form Name). Formatted searches work with the $[$Field.Column.Format] notation ONLY in the same form. So, if you try to get the UDF from another UDF, it will work with that notation (they are in the same form). But if you try to get the UDF from the main form, it won´t find it (It is in another form).
In that case you should use the other notation, as Andrea, Alexey and Salvador told you in the posts before.
Hope this clears a bit the issue.
Regards,
Ibai Peñ
