Install multiple hotfixes using powershell

Guys,
I need help in installing multiple hot fixes using powershell on our domain controllers. i searched a little on google/bing but was unable to find the solution may be i am searching wrong :) . The solution should install multiple
hotfixes and don't restart . restart can be done manually.

My understanding is most Microsoft hotfixes should use the
Windows Installer Tool (msiinstaller). If you have a list of hotfixes to deploy you could put them all in a folder and have your script run each of them.
If you run the hotfix in quiet mode (/q[n|b|r|f]), it looks like it
returns error code 3010 to indicate a reboot is required but doesn't reboot the machine (see also on TechNet List of error codes and error messages for Windows Installer processes in Office 2003
products and Office XP products which should apply to most hotfixes that use the Windows Installer Tool).
You could track each hotfix for this error and if it's returned use
Restart-Computer to restart the machine only once completed.

Set storage quota on multiple mailboxes using PowerShell?

I need to set storage quota limits on multiple mailboxes using PowerShell. I understand I can create a .csv file with aliases and pipe that into a cmdlet, eg.,
Import-CSV "C:\temp\alias.csv" | % {Set-Mailbox -identity $_.alias -IssueWarningQuota 900mb -ProhibitSendQuota 950mb -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 1gb -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults $false
Is there any other way of doing this with a much more robust script?
Any help would be much appreciated.

A: Set storage quota on multiple mailboxes using PowerShell?

Hi,
Is there any special attribute for these multiple mailboxes? such as they are from a specific OU or a distribution group etc.
If there is, we can direct use the filter to pick out these mailboxes instead of create .csv file for them. The following example can set storage quota for mailboxes in a distrobution group Group1:
Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity Group1 | ForEach{ Set-Mailbox -identity $_.Name -IssueWarningQuota 900mb -ProhibitSendQuota 950mb -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 1gb -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults $false}
The following example is used to set storage quota for mailboxes from Exchange Department:
Get-Recipient | Where-Object {$_.Department -eq 'Exchange'} | ForEach{ Set-Mailbox -identity $_.Name -IssueWarningQuota 900mb -ProhibitSendQuota 950mb -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 1gb -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults $false}

Split large .pptx file to multiple files using PowerShell

Hi.
I'm not a programmer and I have the task to split big .pptx file(>100 slides) to multiple .pptx files with 4 slides in each one and save them into SP library. It should be done on PowerShell.
Thanks for any help!

Creating multiple mailboxes using Powershell for users who already exist in AD

Hi there,
Wondering if anyone can help, I am wanting to use Powershell to run a command which references a CSV file to create a mailbox for a user who already exists in AD.
It needs to reference the username, to ensure the correct user has a mailbox created (as mentioned they exist already in the domain), place them on a specific database (e.g DB1) and assign them an email address as well as possibly an alias email address
too.
Can anyone provide me the headings of the CSV file which would be needed as well as the powershell command to run. It would be great too if I could also set the quota sizes for the user at the same time of creating the mailbox, but if not possible or complicated
I can run a script afterwards to do this. I would only want to warn them when their mailbox is 1.5GB in size and stop them sending when it reaches 2GB.
Thanks

So create a csv file with the following headers and data
UserID, Alias
UserID should be the user SamAccountName, and the Alias is the Mailbox Alias that you want to set. Supposing that the csv file is named users.csv and located under C:\ , open the Exchange Management Console and run:
$users = Import-Csv c:\users.csv
Foreach ($user in $users) {
Enable-Mailbox -Identity $user.UserID -alias $user.alias -database 'DB1'
Set-Mailbox -Identity $user.UserID -IssueWarningQuota 1.5gb -ProhibitSendQuota 2gb

How can I seperate one string into multiple strings using PowerShell?

New to PowerShell...how can I read/separate parts of a file name? For instance if I have a file name like "part1_part2_part3_part4.xls", how to separate this file name to four different parts? So I basically want to go from that file name,
to four different strings like part1, part2, part3, and part4...as four separate strings. How can I get this done in PowerShell?
Thanks

You can try something like this
PS> (Get-ChildItem part1_part2_part3_part4.xls).BaseName.Split('_')

To install multiple software in TS via variable list

Wanna ask, im planning to use the install multiple app using dynamic variable list in my TS to install all my software. I see that the prerequisites in the software package program have to select the "Allow this program to be installed from the Install
Package task sequence without being deployed". Do I have to update the package once I selected this option or don't need?

Search the Net and found someone who is using the variable value to refer to the software package name (like what im doing right now). Im using the Install Package task by selecting the "Install software packages according to dynamic list" option.
It says for packages need to put as below.
Baseline Variables: PackageIDs: Program Name:
Not sure how true is this, but if so, the variable that I should define in the collection is as below? Correct?
Name: HPPACKAGE01:ABC00001 (package id)
Value: DR - PRD - 3D DriveGuard (package name)

Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

can anyone help me in doing that?

Suresh Gaddam

Hi Suresh,
This forum is for SCOM related questions, it seems like that you are asking for powershell script to install Mysql. From my point of view, I don't think that using powershell to install Mysql is an easy way, as it is hard to say whether Powershell can get
information from Mysql install console with some API.
In addition, for further assistance, please contact MySQL forum and Powershell forum.
Thanks for your understanding!

I am pretty sure that DSC requires WFM. If I am right then WFM is in use and cannot be replaced unless you specify another logfile location. Look at the DSC and see how to specify a new log location that can be used for the install.
If the MSU is built correctly then you will require a reboot to update the install.
Try just doing WFM alone until you work it out.
I also recommend posting in the Management forum for any other issues that might be known.
Management
DSC is a work in progress so many things have to be worked out as you need them. Be sure to get the latest kits. I think we are at Wave 9 now.

Using Powershell to set Multiple timed.servers with variables

Having an issue using PowerShell to set 3 timed.servers which are defined in a variable. Running the commands: $TimeServers = "IPaddress1,IPaddress2,IPaddress3"Set-NaOption -OptionName timed.servers -OptionValue $TimeServers Thanks in advance!

Hi, The Set-NaOption CmdLet -optionvalue parameter expects a string and it shouldn't matter if that's a comma delimited string containing multiple IP Addresses. I noticed that whilst the cmdlet thows an error it does actually set the option value for all servers so this seems like it could be a bug (IMO). It might be possible to invoke the API using "Invoke-NaSystemApi" but I checked the ZAPI and noticed this also fails using ZExplore from the SDK: ZAPI Request: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<netapp xmlns="http://www.netapp.com/filer/admin" version="1.21">
<options-set>
    <name>timed.servers</name>
    <value>192.168.100.10,192.168.100.11,192.168.100.12</value>
</options-set>
</netapp> ZAPI Results: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<netapp version='1.1' xmlns='http://www.netapp.com/filer/admin'>
    
   <results reason='Unable to set option: timed.servers' errno='13001' status='failed'>
       <cluster-constraint>same_preferred</cluster-constraint>
       <cluster_constraint>same_preferred</cluster_constraint>
       <message>1 entry was deleted.
</message>
   </results>
</netapp> So i think the options are either using the "Set-NaOption" cmdlet with the -SilentlyContinue parameter or the "Invoke-NaSsh" cmdlet with -ErrorAction stop.As a work around i'd recommend something like: [String]$servers = "192.168.100.10,192.168.100.11,192.168.100.12"
[String]$command = "options timed.servers $servers"
Try{
   Invoke-NaSsh -Command $command -ErrorAction Stop
   Write-Host "Executed Command: $command"
}Catch{
   Write-Warning -Message $("Failed Executing Command: $command. Error " + $_.Exception.Message)
} Hope that helps /matt

Install Windows server 2012 using powershell

Hi Folks,
How to Install Windows server 2012 using powershell.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to install Windows server 2012 via PowerShell.
Per the previous thread, we could not install Windows server 2012 directly via PowerShell.

As this is the forum for SharePoint server on-premise, I’m not familiar with the Windows server, for this issue, I recommend you can post a new question in the forum for Windows server.

In addition, Since I'm not familar the VSIX, however, to uninstall package with powershell, these cmdlets are for your reference:
Removes an app package (.appx): Remove-AppxPackage
To get the installed package :
Get-AppxPackage
Or if you want to uninstall app listed in 'Add or Remove Programs', please also check this script:
$app = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {
$_.Name -match "Software Name"
$app.Uninstall()
If there is anything regarding this script, please feel free to post back.
