Powershell script to help fix broken WMI on remote servers/computer.

I have a number of servers/computers that I am not able to update due to broken WMI. Does anyone out there have a Powershell script that will stop the WMI service, rename the repository and logs folders, then restart the WMI service again?
I created a script to stop the service, but it will not allow me to rename the folders (tells me access denied). If I dameware into the pc and log in with my admin credentials I have no issues manually doing the above steps, but there has to be an easier
way!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To remotely rename folders you must use an admin account on the remote system. The folder must not be protected the system and you cannot us WMI to rename the folder.
You may have to restart the system after setting WMI to manual start as it can have locks and it may not shutdown cleanly.

Script to Batch Fix Broken Aliases?

I just recently migrated from an old PowerBook G4 to a new MacBook Pro and all went smoothly. Except, now in a folder that contains hundreds of aliases of various text files, all of the aliases are broken.
The original files are still present in their proper locations and I can fix each alias one at a time. Examining the properties of the broken aliases reveals that the paths to the original files seem to reflect where those files were located the first time I saved them. For instance, on the PowerBook, I saved some info from Safari into a text file and saved the file on my desktop. I put an alias of the file into a "Research Folder," then dragged the original into a "Clippings" folder. Well, now on the MBP with the migrated files, the alias thinks the original file is back on the desktop (and thus, the alias is broken). It's as though in the migration, the new MBP somehow got an old index or something.
In any case, the bottom line is that I can't accept the notion of going through and manually fixing each of the hundreds of aliases one at a time.
Fixing the aliases is pretty simple logic. The filenames are the same. It's basically search the home directory for a file with a matching name and type and make the new association.
Does anyone know of a script or applet that might be able to do this? Maybe there's another mass fix I'm not thinking of?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: For the record, I did fix permissions and run a disk repair after the migration.

Help fixing broken m4a files!

I think my header files are broken on approx. 3000 songs (.m4a). I imported a bunch of songs into another program and pretty much an estimated 1 of every 3 files aren't working any longer... Not sure how bad the damage is yet! Any advice other than delete all the songs would be appreciated, since I purchased the majority of them and don't have the cd's for the rest anymore...

Hi Andyaubs,
Just in case you're still interested in repairing those .m4a files you could take a look at following post where "How to Fix Corrupt Audio Files" process is fully detailed.

Help Fixing Broken iTunes listing

The podcast is called The MLS Show. It's approved on iTunes and shows up but we had a problem with the initial hosting service and had to change feeds. I tried the steps in the online help but the entry will not link up to the new feed. I need help getting this resolved.
Correct podcast feed: http://mlsradioshow.libsyn.com/rss

I assume that what you found was this instruction:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatson/podcasts/specs.html#changing
which involves adding the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag to the old feed and waiting for the Store to pick up the redirect: this may take several days. This is really the only procedure - hopefully you still have access to the old feed? - as it's a weakness of the system that if you don't, then you are stuck. In that case you can only change the title slightly and resubmit, or follow the instructions on the same page as linked to above, just above the note about changing the URL, to get the podcast removed and then resubmit with the new URL.

Exchange PowerShell script to get mailbox properties of user from a CSV file

Hi Team,
I've a CSV file with alias of numerous users and I want to get their mailbox sizes and other properties. These users are dispersed in various databases of same Exchange organization.
Need a Powershell Script, Any help?

You can use this and modify it to what you need. Output to a file (IE: Export-CSV "path to file"
If you need more specifics let me know. This one is for one user at a time but can be used to read a CSV file.

PowerShell Scripts to register App to AD

currently we have powershell scripts in place to create Service Principal, but of what I know, for an registered app to be seen in Azure Portal it should have an Application Object as well as a Service Principal. So my question is, if there is an existing
powershell scripts which helps me register an application to AD (Security Principal + Application Object) which would be visible in Portal, for maintenance ahead?

Hi PrajaktaSamant,
Thanks for your post!
The applications you see in the portal are projections of the Application entities in the directory. The apps created via powershell are only ServicePrincipals I believe. For a detailed explanation of the difference between the two see

Hi There,
We have a application named Microsoft SCOM. That as well requires ISS to be installed. I tried this long back and it worked in powershell. Below is the powershell script i used to install IIS and some specific features from it. Hope it helps in altering
it and making one of your own script.
1. Launch the PowerShell command
prompt
Run this command
Import-Module ServerManager
3. Press Enter
4. Run this
command
Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core,Web-Metabase,Web-WMI,Web-Static-Content,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Dir-Browsing,Web-Http-Errors,Web-Asp-Net,Web-Net-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Filter,Web-Filtering,Web-Windows-Auth,

PowerShell Scripting help to combine two scripts

I have a script that helps automate virtual server builds. The script creates a specification document which is used to perform the actual builds.
# Spec-And-Build.ps1 - Loops through a directory and performs an
# end to end specification generation and build on each request in that directory
[CmdletBinding()]
Param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string]$RequestDir,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string]$SpecDir,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [pscredential]$Credential_CPR,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [pscredential]$Credential_VDC,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [pscredential]$Credential_Admin
if (!$Credential_CPR) {
    $Credential_CPR = Get-Credential -Message "CPR Domain Credentials."
    if (!$Credential_CPR.UserName.ToUpper().StartsWith("CPR\")) {
        $Credential_CPR = New-Object pscredential(
            ("CPR\" + $Credential_CPR.UserName), $Credential_CPR.Password)
if (!$Credential_VDC) {
    $Credential_VDC = Get-Credential -Message "VDC Domain Credentials."
    if (!$Credential_VDC.UserName.ToUpper().StartsWith("VDC\")) {
        $Credential_VDC = New-Object pscredential( `
            ("VDC\" + $Credential_VDC.UserName), $Credential_VDC.Password)
if (!$Credential_Admin) {
    $Credential_Admin = Get-Credential -UserName "Administrator or root" `
        -Message "Enter the Administrator or root password for the new VM. The user name here will be ignored"
.\Gen-VMSpec-Many.ps1 -RequestDir $RequestDir -SpecDir $SpecDir -Credential_VDC $Credential_VDC
$caption = "Continue Build"
$message = "Please validate the generated specification files in $SpecDir - Then click Continue to start build"
$opContinue = new-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription "&Continue","help"
$opAbort = new-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription "&Abort","help"
$choices = [System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription[]]($opContinue,$opAbort)
$answer = $host.ui.PromptForChoice($caption,$message,$choices,0)
if ($answer -eq 0) {
    .\Build-VM-Many.ps1 -SpecDir $SpecDir -Credential_CPR $Credential_CPR -Credential_VDC $Credential_VDC -Credential_Admin $Credential_Admin
} else {
    Write-Host "Build step aborted, run Build-VM-Many.ps1 manually to continue."
This script works well. Now I need to add a section that adds Active Directory groups to the built servers from the spec document. I found this script which also works well:
# Create local group on the local or a remote computer
Write-Host -foregroundcolor Yellow 'Admin Privileges Required!'
$computerName = Read-Host 'Enter computer name or press <Enter> for localhost'
$localGroupName = Read-Host 'Enter local group name'
$description = Read-Host 'Enter description for new local group'
if ($computerName -eq "") {$computerName = "$env:computername"}
if([ADSI]::Exists("WinNT://$computerName,computer")) {
    $computer = [ADSI]"WinNT://$computerName,computer"
    $localGroup = $computer.Create("group",$localGroupName)
    $localGroup.SetInfo()
    $localGroup.description = [string]$description
    $localGroup.SetInfo()
My question is, how do I make one script from the two? I am very new to PowerShell scripting.

Here are the instructions on how to use PowerShell:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612.aspx
Your question is vague and is asking for someone to do this for you. It is better if you do it yourself and post back with specific questions.
In the end you have to write and debug the scripts. We will not do this for you but we will answer questions.

Need some help in building a PowerShell Script

I am in the process of setting up continuous self-auditing on a set of computers that are on a Domain. My company has a restriction on use of USB devices as well as CDs/DVDs. The domain pushes patches but we have been seeing some users that are using (or
trying to) the network without becoming a part of the domain. My aim is to run a PowerShell script periodically (say, hourly) on each computer on the domain and dump certain parameters to XML / XHTML and then load these onto a web-server that can display the
results in a (sort of) dashboard to flag anomalies like unauthorised USB use etc.
I know there must be some commercial products for this but the boss says "No" to a purchase.
Am I on the right track or do I need to change my approach? Also, is there a starting scirpt available somewhere so that I can study it for techniques? My major problem is the display part. I am able to dump it into XML and (sort of ) format it but how do
I collate the data and display it as a web-page is what is bothering me. Help would be deeply appreciated.

@JRV:
Users don't have to be domain administrators
to be able to install software. Local admin is more than enough. ie: I am no admin in the domain of my customer but am allowed to install software
Although I agree with you, in the sense it would be easier to restrict the users, it doesn't mean that a company has to do it that way; and it certainly doesn't represent the intelligence of an individual.
@SarabRSingh:
What you are asking for is a lot of work, to get the script right (considering the special demands, ie. AV update checking is different depending on the SW) and it might require a lot of resources on the client.
From what you describe, you want to prevent any USB/Optical Media use. You should consider Group Policies to manage that. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742376.aspx
The only part I would script (based on my work environment) is the checking of AV updates (gets tricky because our SW has a hard time forcing the user to update when connected by VPN).
user log in / out --> group policy: logon/off script writing appending timestamp to a file
has he/she used any USB device --> if you want to block it: GPO, if you only want to track it: powershell
Get-WmiObject Win32_USBControllerDevice
has any new application / software been installed: restrict installation completely with user permissions or: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f4dc8ab9-370b-423e-b65d-1fa46fa9bcc4/powershell-script-to-remotely-audit-computers-on-lan?forum=ITCG

I have some experience writing Powershell scripts,but I am lost at how this script prompts for Source and Destination paths. I tried modifying the Param section, but this didnt work and up until now I thought the only way you could get a prompt was with
"read-host". Any and all education on this matter would be greatly appreciated. (Side note: I have posted this question on the forum in which I found it and have not got an answer yet).

Hi Ryan Blaeholder,
Thanks for your posting.
To schedule a powershell script with input value, instead of modifying the script above, you can also try to add the input during creating a scheduled task like this:(save the script above as D:\backup.ps1)
-command "& 'D:\backup.ps1' 'input1' 'input2'"
For more detailed information, please refer to this article to complete:
Schedule PowerShell Scripts that Require Input Values:

I hope this helps.

Help using SMLets in workflow powershell script

Hello,
I have written a powershell script in a workflow to help me perform a process. The idea is this: We have an extended Incident class and a custom RMA class, users will sometimes need to launch an RMA from an incident, but never an incident from an RMA or
an RMA by itself. Therefore, source cardinality I assume is 1 and target cardinality is 2 (unlimited). The RMA NEEDS TO BE ASSOCIATED (related) to the ID # of the Incident Request. So, if you click on the Incident and go to related items, you should see the
RMA id # there, and when you go to the related items of the RMA, you should see the appropriate IR # there. The workflow is launched by trigger: when an object of the RMA class is created.
The workflow contains the following powershell script:
# Load the SMlets module
Import-Module SMlets
# Get Date
$date = ((Get-Date).AddDays(-1));
# Set ClassName
$ClassName = Get-SCSMClass -Name Flexity.RMA.Class;
# Get the RMA Class
$RMAClass = Get-SCSMObject -Class $ClassName | where{$_.CreatedDate -gt $date};
# Set DisplayName, Title and Description to RMAx
foreach ($RMA in $RMAClass)
{$RMANumber = $RMA.RMA_ID; $RMA | Set-SCSMObject -PropertyHashtable @{"DisplayName" = $RMANumber; “Title” = $RMANumber; ”Description” = $RMANumber;
So I can get the RMA objects created, and properly name them so they show up as RMA{#} but still have not figured out how to get the parent incident and relate it to the appropriate RMA #... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

@Anders
For Service Manager 2010, numbers larger than 1 in a cardinality statement are evaluated as “unlimited” when an MP is imported into Service Manager. This means that MaxCardenality=“2” is the same as MaxCardenality=“2147483647”. Has this changed from 2010
to 2012?
@Thomas
You are indeed correct but I didn't receive any response in there from my last post so I thought it was dead by now. I have also progressed MUCH further from when I had posted that question, so I figured I should just make it a new topic as the topic of
the question has become much more specific. I will link this post in there to be used as reference.
I actually ended up figuring this out, let me know what you guys think and if it can be optimized in any way, or if you see any error checking I should add in somewhere.
Thank you all for your help, especially with your detailed responses Thomas
My original idea was to have a workflow and that workflow got launched when an object of the RMA class was created, regardless of HOW it was launched through console task or custom control or whatever. However, I ended up using a console task, which when clicked
launches my script :)
Code:
# Creates a variable called IncidentID and points Incident # to it for use within the script
Param([string]$IncidentID)
# Load the SMlets module
Import-Module SMlets
# Get the Incident Class
$IncClass = Get-SCSMClass -Name System.WorkItem.Incident$
# Get the RMA Class
$RMAClass = Get-SCSMClass -Name flexity.RMA.class
# Build the Filter String
$FilterStr = "ID -eq " + $IncidentID
# Find the Incident we need to link to an RMA
$Inc = Get-SCSMObject -Class $IncClass -Filter $FilterStr
$RMAIncText = ["Linked to Incident " + $Inc.ID + ""]
$RMADescription = $RMAIncText
New-SCSMObject -Class $RMAClass -PropertyHashtable (@{Title = $Inc.Title; Description = $RMADescription})
# Find the new RMA to be linked
$FilterStr = "Description -eq '$RMADescription'"
$RMA = Get-SCSMObject -Class $RMAClass -Filter $FilterStr
#Set RMA Number Variable
$RMANumber = $RMA.RMA_ID;
#Clean up DisplayName, Title and Description
$RMA | Set-SCSMObject -PropertyHashtable @{"DisplayName" = $RMANumber; "Title" = $RMANumber; "Description" = $RMANumber; }
# Create the relationship between the two items
$RWIClass = Get-SCSMRelationshipClass -Name System.WorkItemRelatesToWorkItem$
New-SCSMRelationshipObject -Relationship $RWIClass -Source $Inc -Target $RMA -Bulk
New-SCSMRelationshipObject -Relationship $RWIClass -Source $RMA -Target $Inc -Bulk
# Unload the SMlets module
Remove-Module SMlets

Exchange 2010 SP2 to SP3 Powershell script execution policies

Hi,
I have broken Labs when installing service packs on exchange 2010 servers because the powershell execution policies have been incorrectly configured. Once the WMI service has been stopped, the scripts within the SP haven't been able to start it up again.
I can't find any info on Powershell script execution policies in relation to the SP3 for 2010 prerequisites. Does anyone know what they should be set at? And why haven't these been at the top of the list of prerequisites for installations of service packs
for exchange?
