PowerShell script to check permissions given to "NT Authority\All Authenticated Users" and..

Hi there,
On my SharePoint site - some places (Sites/Lists etc) have given permissions to "NT Authority\All Authenticated Users"
We need to remove these permissions and instead give permissions to "Forest1\Domain Users" and "Forest1\Domain Users"
PowerSHell script to do above will be appreciated.
Thank you so much.

Hello,
In order to check whether "NT Authority\All Authenticated Users" are present in your site use this reference - Link
Remove permission script reference - Link
Finally grant permission script reference - link
Kindly mark it as answer if it helps you.

windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
(If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
(If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
I hope it helps.

Run the below Powershell Script for users are exist or not in AD. Later you can create the users.
#Find Users exist in AD or Not?
#Biswajit Biswas
$users = get-content c:\users.txt
foreach ($user in $users) {
$User = Get-ADUser -Filter {(samaccountname -eq $user)}
If ($user -eq $Null) {"User does not exist in AD ($user)" }
Else {"User found in AD ($user)"}

Powershell script to check IP of Website

Yes, true enough. I was thinking more along the lines of a simple check to see if the site went "down" but had actually changed IP.

Personally, I would recommend using a graphical monitor likePRTG. The free version allows for up to 100sensors. You canuse the DNS sensor to monitor for IP address changes of the DNS address and if it doesn't match it can alert.
But here's a PowerShell Script (replace the values of the variables at the beginning of the script):Powershell$WebsiteAddress = "resolver1.opendns.com"$IPAddress = "208.67.222.222"$ToEmailAddress = "[email protected]"$FromEmailAddress = "[email protected]"$MailServer = "mail.domain.com"Clear-DNSClientCache$ResolvedWebsite = Resolve-DNSName $WebsiteAddressIf ($ResolvedWebsite.IPAddress -ne $IPAddress) {Send-MailMessage -To $ToEmailAddress -From $FromEmailAddress -SmtpServer $MailServer -Subject "Notification: $WebsiteAddress IP Address Change" -Body "The IP address for $WebsiteAddress has changed to $(...

Powershell script to change the a column value of all documents in a site.

Hi,
I need a powershell script to change the value of a column (a site column which has been added to all document libraries) in all documents in a site,
For example:
-column 1 is a site column added to all libraries
the value of column 1 of all documents under this site: http://intranet.doman/ex1 should be equal to V1
the value of column 1 of all documents under this site: http://intranet.doman/ex2 should be equal to V2
So, if I can write a powershell script to change the value of all documents in a site, I can modify it for different site that I have and run it for each of them individually,

PowerShell script cannot find user permissions given directly (can find if permissions given in a group) - Please help.

Hi there,
I need to find ALL SharePOint sites/subsites/locations where "Domain\john" has any level of access.
Following script works if the permissions were given to Domain\john via a group - but this does not work if the permissions were given directly to the user (i.e. user is NOT part of the group).
$weburl = "http://dev"
Get-SPUser -web $weburl -Limit All | ?{$_.UserLogin -eq "Domin\john"} | select UserLogin, @{name="Url";expression={$_.ParentWeb.Url}}, @{name="Explicit given roles";expression={$_.Roles}}, @{name="Roles given via groups";expression={$_.Groups | %{$_.Roles}}},Groups | Out-String -Width 4096
Help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

I don't really understand your request. It sounds like you just want to know the permissions per-user
$weburl = "http://dev"
Get-SPUser -web $weburl -Limit All | ?{$_.UserLogin} | select UserLogin, @{name="Url";expression={$_.ParentWeb.Url}}, @{name="Explicit given roles";expression={$_.Roles}}, @{name="Roles given via groups";expression={$_.Groups | %{$_.Roles}}},Groups | Out-String -Width 4096
This will just return all the users and their permissions.

How to export Powershell script information to Sharepoint?

I'm trying to export information gather from a Powershell script to a Sharepoint list. I've got a couple of powershell scripts that gather general server information from a server ex: server uptime, disk space, service tag, etc. and it will export the information
to a csv file. What I would like to do is out-put the same information gathered by the powershell scripts to a Sharepoint list directly if at all possible.
Ex:
# all this does is reads from a list and runs a script call "boottime.ps1"
get-content "\\%Data-Path-Of-List%\computers.txt" | %Data-Path-Of-Script%\boottime.ps1 | Export-csv %Data-Path-For-CSV\Computers.csv
# then just exports the information from the boottime.ps1 script to a csv file
#I also have a script that will upload the information to a sharepoint list.
# I found that I have to run this in version 2 of powershell, so I just open a DOS prompt in Admin Priv's and type the following
powershell.exe -version 2.0
# Next I make sure the Sharepoint snap-in is loaded
if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.sharepoint.powershell - erroraction silentlycontinue) -eq $null)
Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.Sharepoint.Powershell
$spweb = get-SPweb $spserver
$spdata =$spweb.getlist("%URL_Of_My_List%")
# this is the same location from the orginal Powershell script previously stated.
$ComputerInfoFile = "%Data-Path-For-CSV%\Computers.csv"
foreach ($rows in $tblData) {
# here is where I add the information from my csv file
# 2 things needs to be present
# 1st the colums have to be present in the sharepoint site before I can upload the information
# 2nd the columns have to the headers in my csv file
$spItem = $spData.AddItem()
$SpItem["ServerName"] = $row."ServerName".toString()
$SpItem["Uptime"] = $row."Uptime".toString()
$SpItem.Update()
# this just disconnects from Sharepoint
$spWeb.Dispose()
Please dismiss all the comments it just helps me understand what the code is doing, also if this is not the correct place to post this question I appologize in adavance and ask that if this is the incorrect place to post this question please provide me a

Creating a powerhsell script to check for .ost files and delete all .ost files if there is any detected

Hi Guys,
I was hoping someone could help me with a PowerShell script to check a directory to see if any .ost files exist.
If it detects any .ost files I want it to run this code:
get-childitem "C:\Users\*" -include *.ost -recurse -force | foreach-object { remove-item $_ -force }
If it doesn't detect any .ost files I just want the script to exit.
Looking to add this to our startup scripts in group policy
Many thanks,

Hi Tlewis4435,
In addition, please refer to the script below:
$files = get-childitem "D:\SHARE\*" -include *.ost -recurse -force
if($files){ #detect files
foreach($f in $files) { remove-item $f -force }
else{exit} #if there is no file then exit powershell
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

AD groups are represented in Sharepoint as SPUser object with

SOLVED: powershell script working on its own, access denied when called from a service

Hi powershell experts,
I'm using a powershell script, called by a service with serviceaccount PWSService, which gives an exception denied. This powershell script sets up a remote powershell connection(with a specific account), and runs some powershell scripts remotely on
that server.
When I launch the powershell script manually, by opening the powershell console myself(with "run as" PWSService), the remote session starts and I'm able to succesfully run commands through it.
The PWSService is local admin on the server.
Is there any diffrence in behaviour when powershell scripts are started by a service or started as a "user"? Can someone shed a light on this?
Thanks in advance,
Robin

Script to list the users and their privileges in a database

Hi Team,
Can someone provide me a script that list all the users and their privileges in a database?
DB version:11.2.0.2
OS:AIX

Why you create your own script
SELECT * FROM USER_SYS_PRIVS;
SELECT * FROM USER_TAB_PRIVS;
SELECT * FROM USER_ROLE_PRIVS;
That won't tell him what privileges a user has via a role. It will only tell him what privilges were granted directly, and what roles were granted directly. But those roles have privileges, and may have other roles, which have still more roles and privs, etc. It's a recursive issue and a simple select from user__privs won't get it.
Pete Finnigan has a good script for reporting the entire picture. I leave it as an exercise for the student to use google to find it. I have already given all the information needed to complete that exercise.
