Hyper-V Powershell cmdlets 2008 R2

I just want Hyper-V cmdlets to work on 2008 R2..
googled, and googled, and have been all over the place, reading different stuff, attempting different solutions..
Have read that its not possible, have read required CodePlex packages.. Or install PowerShell 4..
Can someone reply with a proper step by step on how to accomplish this? Maybe specify different ways based on what version of PowerShell a server is on?

Hi Zewwy,
Based on my research, the
Hyper-v module in powershell can be available since windows server 2012, and is not backward compatible.
However, you can find good script function resource:
CodePlex PowerShell Management Library for
Hyper-V page to manage the hyper-v on windows server 2008 r2, for more detailed information, please refer to this article:
Virtualization: Create Hyper-V Virtual Machines with Windows PowerShell
I hope this helps.

Installing Hyper-V Powershell Module on Virtual Machine

I have a situation where I am running Hyper-V 2012 and have several virtual RemoteApp RDS servers (server 2012 R2) with a user profile disk server (also 2012R2 virtual machine) that stores all of the VHDX user profile disks. I want to perform some maintenance
on the VHDX files by running optimize-vhd to compact the disks to keep them from being larger than they need to be. Anyhow, that PowerShell commandlet won't run unless the Hyper-V module is installed but in order to install it, the Hyper-V role must be installed.
Since it's a virtual machine, it's not supported to install the Hyper-V role (although I hear it may be possible) so I was wondering if it is possible to install only the Hyper-V PowerShell modules. I would just use a Hyper-V server to run it but the commandlet
does not seem to allow UNC/Share paths. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your time!

Hi Scott,
I tested on my hyper-v enviroment, and installed the feature "Hyper-v Module for Windows Powershell" on VM, and I could run the cmdlet "optimize-vhd", however, It couldn't run successfully without Hyper-v Role installed:
In addition, if you just want to compact the vhd file on vm, how about using the command "DiskPart":
You can then complete the compacting using diskpart from a Command Prompt:
Run diskpart
Select the disk via its path: select vdisk file="<path>"
Attach it as read-only: attach vdisk readonly
Compact it: compact vdisk
Upon completion of the compact, detach it again: detach vdisk
You can then re-attach it via Disk Management in its normal and newly compacted state
Refer to:
https://fiddley.wordpress.com/2014/01/27/dynamically-expanding-vhd-not-compacting-in-hyper-v/
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

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 ;-)

State View powershell cmdlets

I am trying to use powershell cmdlets to pull up the health state of certain groups like "agent" and "Health Service" from a specific custom created state view in Operations manager. Is this possible? If so what is the syntax?
Thanks!

Hi
You can pull information from sate view but you can query group using below code
import-module operationsmanager
New-SCOMManagementGroupConnection
$gp=Get-SCOMGroup -DisplayName "operations Manager Agents"
Get-SCOMMonitoringObject -Group $gp |select HealthState,Displayname

It is there an alternative to the Test-SystemHealth powershell cmdlet for Exchange 2013?

Hello
The Powershell cmdlet Test-SystemHealth, that was available on Exchange 2010, is no longer available on Exchange 2013.
Test-SystemHealth cmdlet gathered data about the Microsoft Exchange system and analyzed the data according to best practices.
Are there any alternatives to this for Exchange 2013?
Thanks!

Haven't really played with it too much, but check out Get-ServerHealth
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj218703(v=exchg.150).aspx
Looks to have replaced Test-SystemHealth.

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

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.

Installing TFS PowerShell Cmdlets

I cannot get the TFS PowerShell Cmdlets installed. During the install, I am not prompted to install them. And, in fact, the Typical Install text states it will not install them. After installing, then going in to modify, I do not see PowerShell Cmdlets in the
list of features.
I am on TFS 2013 Update 4 and PowerShell 4.0. How do I install these Cmdlets on the TFS server?

Hi Dgjohnson,
Thanks for your reply.
Please download TFS 2013 Power Tools from here:https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/f017b10c-02b4-4d6d-9845-58a06545627f.

Hi Vatsalya,
You could refer to this code sample about blob analytics metrics (https://gist.github.com/RichardSlater/4753866/raw/91a2bf45fb24dff4f770a1384c3e6578ecbd20d5/Get-CapacityMetrics.ps1
) about "StorageAnalyticsMetrics". In this sample, you didn't need to specify the container name.
Please try it.

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

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.

FSRM Powershell Cmdlets not working in Azure on Server 2012

I am attempting to use the FSRM Powershell cmdlets on a 2012 server to configure auto quotas. However I guess I am doing something wrong.
Even though there are built-in templates and I have added the one I want manually and have created an auto quota from it, they do not appear to the cmdlets and the cmdlets keep throwing CimException when I try to use them to create templates and auto quotas.
For example get-fsrmquotatemplate returns nothing and new-fsrmquotatemplate -name mydemo -size 10MB resulst in
new-fsrmquotatemplate : Not found
At line:1 char:6
+ $res=new-fsrmquotatemplate mydemo -size 10MB
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (MSFT_FSRMQuotaTemplate:Root/Microsoft/...RMQuotaTemplate) [New-fsrmQuot
aTemplate], CimException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80041002,New-FsrmQuotaTemplate
Is there something I am supposed to do first to set the system up?

Hi,
From the result it seems that the FSRM templates cannot be found. So please check if both FSRM and Windows PowerShell 3.0 are installed in Features.
Specifically you can test to remove and reinstall FSRM to see if issue will be fixed.

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

Hi,
As this case has been quiet for a while.I need to close the case and will mark it as Answer. If this case is still unresolved,I suggest you ask in a new thread.
