Manually running a .ps1 in an administrator (elevated) shell

I have a seemingly straightforward question: How can I manually run a .ps1 script on Server 2012 R2 and have it open in an administrator elevated shell? I am right clicking and clicking "Run with Powershell" on the .ps1 file.
My environment:
Two Server 2012 R2 machines in the same domain in the same OU. Both are full GUI installs. Both have UAC set to "default".
The discrepancy:
One of the servers will run any and all .ps1 files in an administrator elevated shell. The other server will run any and all .ps1 files in a non-administrator, standard shell. I have no idea what the differences are between the two servers. Neither
are running any custom Powershell profiles.
The following registry keys are all identical between the two servers:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellCmdletDefinitionXML.1
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellConsole.1
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellData.1
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellModule.1
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellSessionConfiguration.1
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.PowerShellXMLData.1
What am I missing?

Thanks for the fast response, Bill.
1. Correct. Of course, both have UAC enabled and set identically at "default". FYI, disabling UAC in server 2008 and 2012 is not apples to apples: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13953.windows-server-2012-deactivating-uac.aspx
2. BINGO!! This was set to "enabled" on the server that I could not get to run the .ps1 files in an elevated prompt. It was set to "disabled" on the server that would run .ps1 files in an elevated shell. After I changed it to "disabled"
on the "broken" server, it now runs .ps1 files in an elevated shell. (we do have tight change control, so I will use this method to run elevated Powershell scripts on this specific server).
3. Both servers had already been rebooted.
Additional information: I am logged in as the same domain administrator account on both machines.
Thanks, Bill!

Have followed the suggestions re clearing cache, starting the timer service, etc., but not joy.
What could be the cause? Thanks!!!
PS It's broken the backup too, but I understand that's "normal"... :o/

Hi Jason - thanks for your reply.
I was under the impression that this manual task had to take place post the SP patches/service pack? (there's much talk of it on the net to do this).
I will try your command though!
Thanks! :o)
There's some more info in the log (it is large - less verbose would have been handy!):

Trying to open Terminal I get;You are not authorised to run this application. The administrator has set your shell to an illegal value.

Hi There Y'all,
I have recently downloaded MacKeeper. It ran OK for a bit, but has recently stopped allowing Internet security updates and switching on of the internet protection options.
Asked for help at MacKeeper. Their initial advice did not work, so a very nice technician was going to remotely attempt to fix the issue.
He however needed/still needs access to Terminal, a to me unbeknown Utility feature of my MacBook pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
While attempting to open Terminal the following came up
You are not authorised to run this application.
The administrator has set your shell to an illegal value.
Did do a diskverify permission and repair and restart.
Did check my admin settings in advanced options and have the /bin/bash.
Any advice anyone.
Thanks.
in site out

After finally localing private/etc/shells through Go>Go to folder and replacing the empty shells with the shells~orig I have permission again to open Terminal. Thanks. Another step.
(Why though can't I access /private/etc/... through Finder's search?)
Should work but the file or folder needs to exists to access it. If you typed in /private/etc/shells and the file wasn't there there's no place to access. Certainly /private/etc was there so that would have worked.
So what will happen by inputting the lines
ls -Fvl /bin/bash
ls -Fvl /etc/shells
more /etc/shells
into Terminal?
Basically to find out what you already seemed to find out. The first command was to display owner, group, and permissions of /bin/bash and to tell me whether it still existed.
Similarly for /etc/shells.
And the last command would have just displayed what was in /etc/shells.
By the way /private/etc and /etc are the same folder.

Strange terminal command caching while manually running SWUPD.

I've built dozens of software update servers with little issues. This one has me stumped today.
I built a software update server to update solely our Tiger machines. Initially, I had sent a command to the clients that hit the wrong IP address. Once I realized the mistake, I overwrote the plist files on them to reflect the correct address.
Problem is, some of those machines, even tho I have thrown out the plist completely, still seem to be trying to update with the wrong address. I have verified 100 times that the plist is correct. And if I do a softwareupdate -l, it hits the correct address. When I send a softwareupdate -i -a, it gives me this error:
2010-06-29 13:50:50.606 softwareupdate[728] Loading CatalogURL 10.192.170.11:8088
2010-06-29 13:50:50.625 softwareupdate[728] loader:didFailWithError:NSError "unsupported URL" Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1002 UserInfo={
NSErrorFailingURLKey = 10.192.170.11:8088;
NSErrorFailingURLStringKey = "10.192.170.11:8088";
NSLocalizedDescription = "unsupported URL";
Error: unsupported URL
Software Update Tool
The IP address it's reflecting is the original bad address. I'm thinking this has to be cached somewhere, but I've tried it via ARD on fresh machines that had never tried to push any of these commands, and I get the same thing.
I verified that this happens locally in the terminal and via ARD. But if you manually run the software update from the GUI, it goes to the right place and updates fine.

No, this is a Tiger server, updating Tiger clients. We literally update the plist via command line or ARD, and then run the softwareupdate -i -a command.
I have deleted all profile softwareupdate plists via root. It worked on one machine, but not the others. What's odd is that even if i run the software update command locally in the terminal, I still get this error, but if I run it from the Apple menu, it hits the right server and works just fine. So the plist is correct. So I'm wondering what's the difference between where the GUI grabs the address from, and where the terminal command gets it.

I can run a manual tape backup by right clicking on the volume and choosing Long term backup, but it only runs the monthly tape backup job.

I am using DPM 2010.
There must be a way to create a job that uses Yearly backup settings.
Or an alternative is to change the expiry date of the Backup if that is possible.
Thanks,

Although you cannot pick the recovery point date in the past to make a new recovery point from, you can run the DPM Power shell script in this
post to select a recovery goal to make a current backup for. The recovery point date would be that of the latest disk based recovery point for any goal selected.

Manual Running Total vs Running Total

Morning all,
It is some what strange to me when I try to use a formula to calculate the total jobs and when I try to use Running total to count the same total jobs. Both answers in theory should be the same however they are not. I am wondering where am I going wrong in the manual formula.
If {despatch_summary.job_type}="FSV" then
if {despatch_summary.order_status}<>0 then
{despatch_summary.order_no}
else
0
The above code then gets DistinctCount ({@FSV})
The same method if I use by using Running Total it gives the correct number of jobs.
Running Total
field to summarize : despatch_summary.order_no
Summary Type: DistinctCount
Formula: {despatch_summary.job_type}="FSV" and {despatch_summary.order_status}<>0
Reset: none
The formula gives me 513 where as the same running total gives me 514
Where am I going wrong?
Strangely it is adding 1 to all of my manual running totals (1 is coming from canceled orders).
Many thanks
Regards

Sastry I am adding this formula into the crosstab which is setup by Number of days. So on the column it is number of days and on the summarized field it is this formula.
I chose Group options and clicked on DistinctCount after adding the formula into the summarized field.
I have already tried the formula you have suggested however it doesn't seem to be affecting it.
Apart from that what I have just done is added the Running Totals to the Summarized field which is coming up correctly however now the problem is to get their percentages.
I have used the following code but it doesn't seem to be working.
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar g:=Currentfieldvalue;
Numbervar h:={@TotalJobs-CanceledJobs};
Numbervar i:=0;
i:=((g/h)*100);
Numbervar gTot:=gTot+i;
if gTot > 100 then "100.00%"
else
totext(gTot,2)+"%"
I know I am doing it wrong when it comes to percentages. I need to get the percentages off that Running Total (Grand Total).
Am not sure how to acheive that either.
Many thanks
Regards

Manual Running Total won't Reset

I've created the following formulas to create a manual running total. However, I can't get the total to reset. Instead, the total gets added to each time the group appears. What am I missing?
GROUP 1 HEADER
================
//placed this in group 1 header to reset total each time this group appears
whileprintingrecords;
shared currencyvar TotalCore;
TotalCore:=0
GROUP 2 FOOTER
============================
//placed this in the footer of next group to get total added to the TotalCore variable from above
//the fields I'm adding to TotalCore are fields summarizing the detail fields
WhilePrintingRecords;
Global CurrencyVar TotalCore;
TotalCore := TotalCore + ({@Core6-Sum} + {@CoreApp3-Sumfor#ofMos});
TotalCore
GROUP 1 FOOTER
============================
//this number accumulates for each group...I need it to reset.
WhilePrintingRecords;
Global CurrencyVar TotalCore;
TotalCore

You left out two extremely important pieces of information: the formulas for {@Core6-Sum} and {@CoreApp3-Sumfor#ofMos}. It is possible (from where I sit) that they are carrying the values forward...
Other than that, I don't see anything obviously wrong...

Manual running total issue

Hello All,
        I have written manual running total formula:
Reset formula in group header:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar sol:=0;
Evaluation formula in detail section
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar sol;
if Field_Name1 <> previous(Field_Name1) then
   sol:= sol+ Amount;
Display formula in group footer;
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar sol;
But the total doesn't seem to match, can someone help me!
Thanks!
Sonali

Hi Sonali,
   For Ex:
1) If the group is on County> U, and country has 40 detailed records.
2) The Option " Repeat group header on each page is checked" and a reset formula is placed in the
    group header.
3) In one page take for example 25 detail records are printed the evaluation formula will evaluate for 25
    records. And in teh next page again the group header will be printed. This causes the reset formula
    to print again where the total becomes zero again. And the remaining 15 records will be added and
    the group footer will display that total.

Vinay

Manually running a cron job in SunOS 5.8

I was looking in the Solaris documentation and UNIX Man pages, however how do I manually run a cron job that is already set-up? I am troubleshooting an issue and the cron job runs just fine during the night, I would like to execute it manually for testing purposes. Thank you in advance.

Run this command :
crontab -l
And, look for the command you want to run and then just execute it on command line. The first five columns (separated by spaces) are date/time/day (skip those), after that you will see full path of the script/program. Just copy and paste that full path on command line.

Calculate % on manual running total??

I have a three part manual running total that prints the final value in the report footer. That total is based on groups of cities and time spent by each city on a project. I'm trying to calculate the percentage of time they spent on the total project in each cities group footer. So, of course (citytime % totalprojecttime). However, since it's a manual running total it's calculating based on the time up until that point, so the first city is always at 100% because the manual running total and time spent by that city is always equal. Then the next percentage is only based on the first two cities total divided by that current city, etc. so that the only city that actually has a correct percentage is the last one because it's finally calculated the totals at that point.
I've tried various printing states (evaluate after, etc) but those aren't going to work because the total isn't done until the end. Without doing a subreport, is there anyway to calculate that properly?

If you can't do a simple summary to derive total time for City, then you will need to develop a hidden subreport which you place in city group header, and use that total calculate total city time. You can then use a shared variable to holding the total city time to calculate your %ages.
Hidden subreport is a subreport will all sections suppressed and minmised so that it does not appear, it must be held in an unsuppressed section, you can section to underlay to ensure minimum space taken up.

FIM reporting -- Run FIMPostInstallScirptsForDatawarehouse.ps1 script

We have 3 servers and
1. Server 1 -- FIM Service
2. Server 2 -- Service Manager server + Sql Server 2008 r2 with (ServiceManager DB on instance 1 +DWStagingAndConfig, DWRepository, and DWDataMart DB on instance 2)
3. Server 3 -- Data warehouse server
We have installed FIM reporting and MPSyncJob is successfully over. Next step is to run FIMPostInstallScirptsForDatawarehouse.ps1 on Data warehouse server but The FIM Reporting post installation scripts required to execute
.\FIMPostInstallScriptsForDataWarehouse.ps1
scripts in the Data Warehouse server. However, this script requires access to the "SQLCmd" tools and the "SMCmdletSnapIn" snapins. These two components are both present
when the SQL server resides in the Data Warehouse server. In this scenario that condition is not true. In this procedure, we will run the FIM post installation powershell script in the SQL server. We will create a PSSessionConfiguration in the Data Warehouse
server that will get called from the remote SQL server to execute the "SMCmdletSnapIn".
To run the script i was following the steps on this link social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/17916.troubleshooting-fim-install-fim-data-warehouse-support-scripts-on-a-remote-sql-server.aspx
But in creating PSSession i am getting Access Denied error .
So is it possible, if i will install SQL server management studio on Data Warehouse server as i will get SQLCmdlets of powershell in Data Warehouse server so i can run the script directly on Data warehouse server without creating PSSession
Will it work ??

Adobe Updater can be run only by users with administrator rights error on 2003 termianl server

I just installed the latest security update of 8.1.7 on my two terminal servers. Now when each users logs in, they get the following error.
Insufficient Rights (title)
Adobe Updater can be run only by usrs with administrator rights.
They simply click OK and it goes away but it is very annoying. It seems like every time their is an update to Adobe Reader, something goes wrong.
Does anybody have any thoughts on how to stop the Adobe Updater from loading when my users login? Thanks,
Justin

I ended up finding the solution at this link.

Re: Insufficient Rights Window for non-admins after 8.1.2 successful install
Here is the solution I found.
"Renaming %program files%/Common Files/Adobe/updater5 to something else removed the error."
This seems like a brute force approach, but it does work. I checked the event logs after doing this and don't see any errors in the App or System logs. This folder is the location of AdobeUpdater.exe and all of the Adobe .cer files, so it makes sense that this works, but seems like it should generate other errors...
This is not how I wanted to solve the problem but it did solve it.

How Can One Run Only In The System Administrator ( ie root ) ?

Upon creating a System Administrator ( ie root ) in Command + R , of course after Clean Installing OS X ML with my own specific Apple Verified Account ,
i have the Log In screen from a startup , either Safe Boot or a Boot , and i have my own specifc Apple Verified Account , plus the Other... ,
which the Other... of course is the System Administrator ( ie root ) .
How Can One Run Only In The System Administrator ( ie root ) ?
Is there a way in Terminal with sudo su to make it work ?
Shall i just always log in with Other... System Administrator ( ie root ) , and just forget the my own specific Apple Verified Account ?

As of EHP3, you could still install some EHP components. On an ERP 6.00, you could just push SAP_APP to 6.03 and move on. Now if you want another component in your system with an EHP4 version, you can't have some components at EHP3 and some at EHP4. You would install EHP4 for the new component you desire updated and part of the work will be to also update SAP_APP to 6.04.
EHP4 is an UPGRADE process, with shadow instance & all the joy of an upgrade process. You can either run ressource minimized or downtime minimized. In resource minimized, the shadow instance runs on the same server as the main instance. Downtime minimized allow to run the shadow instance on a separate / new server. Anyway you go, you will always have a "Downtime Phase" when you bring back the updated components from the shadow instance toward the real production one.
As with any UPGRADE project, the benefits of installing EHP4 for your business has to weighted against the downtime cost.
Our tests so far on small systems (few data, few users, 120GB database) show ~3 days process from EHP3 to EHP4 (all components) with a downtime phase of about 22 hours using the "resource minimized" path, i.e. shadow & main instance on the same server (4 CPUs, 16GB RAM). Until you give a try at your Sandbox or DEV systems, you won't have realistic figures for your environment.
Good luck!

DS run longer with scheduled job as compare to manual run

I have scheduled a job through Management Console (MC) to run everyday once at
certain time. After some time, maybe after 15 days of running, the execution
time has increased to double from 17 mins to 67 mins by one time jump. After
that, the job kept running and spent 67 mins to complete.
The nature of the job is to generate around 400 output flat files from a
source db2 table. Under efficient running time, 1 file took around 2 seconds to
generate. But now it became taking 8 seconds to generate one file. The data
volume and nature of the source table didn't change, so that was not the root
cause of increasing time.
I have done several investigations and the results as such:
1) I scheduled again this job at MC to run for testing, it would take 67 mins
to complete. However, if I manually run this job thorough MC, it would take
17 mins efficient time to run.
2) I replicated this job to a second job as a copy. Then I scheduled this
copied job at MC to run, it would take 67 mins to run. But if I manually run
this job through MC, it will take 17 mins to run.
3) I created another test repo and load this job in. I scheduled the job to
run at this new repo, it would take 67 mins to run. If I manually run the job
through MC, it only took 17 mins to run.
4) Finally, I manually executed the job through unix job scripts command,
which is one of the scheduled job entry in the cron file, such as
./DI__4c553b0d_6fe5_4083_8655_11cb0fe230f4_2_r_3_w_n_6_40.sh, the job also would take 17
mins to run to finish.
5) I have recreated the repo to make it clean and reload back the jobs and
recreated again the schedule. Yet it still took 67 mins to run scheduled job.
Therefore, the conclusion is why it takes longer time to run by scheduling
method as compare to manually running method?
Please provide me a way to troubleshoot this problem. Thank you.

Yesterday we had done another test and indirectly made the problem to go
away. We changed the generated output flat file directory from current directory
of /fdminst/cmbc/fdm_d/bds/gl to /fdminst/cmbc/fdm_d/bds/config directory to
run, to see any difference would make. We changed the directory pointing
inside Substitution Parameter Configurations windows. Surprisingly, job had
started to run fast and completed in 15 minutes and not 67 minutes anymore.
Then we shifted back and pointed the output directory back to original
/fdminst/cmbc/fdm_d/bds/gl and the job has started to run fast ever since and all
completed in 15 minutes. Even we created ad hoc schedule to run and it was
still running fast.
We not sure why it was solved by shifting directory away and shifting back,
and whether this had to do with BODS problem or HP Unix system environment
problem. Nonetheless, the job is started to run normally and fast now as we
test.
