Power shell script to run a Resuable workflow.
Hi,
We came across a scenario where we want to run a resuable workflow on all List items in a list. I am not sure if this can be acheived through power shell. Can any one please help me to run reusable workflows through power shell script on list items.
Thanks,
Sandy
Hello,
Recently i executed below script for my VS workflow on list items, you can also try same on reusable WF.
Basically you need to use "WorkFlowManager" and "WorkFlowAssociations " to find WF on list and then execute it.

Trying to run program off network location using GPO with Power shell script.
Hello All,
Not much of a script writer. I am giving it a shot. My issue is that I need to run a application update across our network and I am trying to do it with as little hands on as possible. So I was planning to push a GPO with a power shell script in it
to run the program with elevated privileges.
Little background:
We are running on a domain and end users do not have admin rights.
The application is stored on a share on our network that is open to all domain users.
The installer user name and password is a temp one and will only be valid for the 30 min window when everyone logs in at the beginning of the day.
So this is what I have so far.
$username = "USER"
$password = "PASSWORD"
$credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList @($username,(ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -AsPlainText -Force))
Start-Process PSQLv11Patch_Client_x86.msp -Credential ($credentials) -WorkingDirectory \\Server\Folder\Folder1\Folder2\filder3\PSQLv11sp3_x32\
But for some reason I keep getting :
Start-Process : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.
At line:10 char:1
+ Start-Process PSQLv11Patch_Client_x86.msp -Credential ($credentials) -WorkingDir ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Start-Process], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand
Any help you could give would be great.
Thanks,
jdfmonkeyHi jdfmonkey,
Has anyone provided an answer to your original question? I am trying to use Start-Process to launch a process using another logged in user's credentials, and am not able to get it working:
$cred=Get-Credential
start-process Process.exe-WorkingDirectoryC:\Scripts-Credential$cred
I get the same error that you mentioned:
start-process : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.
At C:\Scripts\Process.ps1:2 char:1
+ start-process Process.exe -WorkingDirectory C:\Scripts -Credential ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Start-Process], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand
When I leave off the credentials:
start-processProcess.exe-WorkingDirectoryC:\Scripts
It works correctly. Does anyone have a solution to make this work correctly?
Please ask your own question. You issue is nothing like the current thread. You clearly are using a user account that has no access to the folder. It is a permissions issue. It is not a scripting issue.
If you need further help please start your own question.

HOW TO RUN POWER SHELL SCRIPT UNDER SAFE MODE
hi

if so then how to do it, please explain the procedureHi CHELLAPPA,
Based on my research, we can use powershell in safe mode, and I also tested on server 2012 R2:
You can also open cmd and type "powershell" to use powershell script.

Intermittent "Power Shell Script failed to run" after installing SQL MP 6.5.4.0
We recently installed the SQL MP. One thing I am struggling with is this "Power Shell Script failed to run" that occasionally comes up, but, not always on the same server, and not always at the same time.
It says it ran past the configured timeout of 300 seconds.
The post that seemed to have me on the right track was
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c539a55d-dd48-438f-b7d5-06ed2cecf6e9/powershell-script-failed-to-run-alerts-from-sql-management-pack-6410?forum=operationsmanagergeneral
However, even after getting one of the several scripts that have been generating the error, out of the extract management pack, it has parameters that need to be fed to it that I have no idea what they are....
Example. ActiveRequestsDataSource.ps1 requires $computername, $connectionstring, $tcpport, $sql_wmi_namespace, and $servicename.
The computername is easy enough... so is tcpport. but, the others... not so much.
I am fairly certain I will be able to run these manually, if I just knew the parameters... I am also fairly certain we are getting these because at the time of the check, resources on that server are tied up for one reason or another.
Can someone please help? This is killing me.Hi,
As this issue happens after you installing SQL MP, so from my point of view, it seems like caused by the runas account for the SQL MP is not configured well, I would like to suggest you follow the article below to configure runas account for the management
pack:

Add workflow to contenttype by share-point power shell script
Hello,
I need to add work flow "Publish Approval" to content type by SharePoint power shell script .
how Can I implement that ?
ASkHi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to add the workflow to a content type using PowerShell script.
The following PowerShell script for your reference:
function AddWorkflowToContentType($site, $ctName, $WfName, $WfAssociationName, $TaxTaskList)
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.SharePoint')
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.Office.Policy')
[Guid]$wfTemplateId = New-Object Guid
$web = $site.RootWeb
$ct = $web.ContentTypes[$ctName]
$culture = New-Object System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")
$template = $site.RootWeb.WorkflowTemplates.GetTemplateByName($WfName, $culture)
if($template -ne $null)
$tasklist = $TaxTaskList
$historylist = "IP Workflow History"
# Workflow Association with Content Type
$association = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWorkflowAssociation]::CreateSiteContentTypeAssociation($template, $WfAssociationName, $web.Lists[$tasklist], $web.Lists[$historylist])
$association.AllowManual = $false
$association.AutoStartCreate = $true
$ct.AddWorkflowAssociation($association)
$ct.UpdateWorkflowAssociationsOnChildren($true, $true, $true, $false)
$association.Enabled=$true
$ct.Update()
$web.Update()
else
Write-Error "Workflow Template not found"
Add-Content $logFileName "Workflow Template not found."

Hi,
I am trying to launch Amazon EC2 windows server 2008 R2 instance using AWS Auto Scaling feature. I have used cusmized AMI in Autoscaling Launch configuration to launch an instance.I have placed Power Shell script in AMI.
The responsibility of script is to download code from AWS S3 and deploy in IIS server while windows startup first time.
When i check status, IIS is started succesfully. But default Application pool is not started.
To resolve this issue i have written one scheduled script. It helps to start the application pool if any application pool is in stopped state.
After this Application pool is started but i am not able to communicate with IIS server through browser.
Please help any one to resolve this issue.
