Powershell using start-process OR Invoke-Item to access directory are getting warning permissions popup.

I am new in PS so please forgive me for any idiocy I speak. I have a File Server in Windows 2012 R2, a couple days ago I added one domain user to local administrator group in this File Server. For any folder that I try to access I am getting the Warning message
saying: "You don't currently have permissions to access this folder. Click Continue to permanently get access to this folder." When I click "Continue" the Windows grants to me the rights permissions, ok it is perfect but I have to do it
for any folder in my file server.
So, let's to I tried so far..
I know I can use Set-acl to set the permissions to the user but for this likely I will need change almost the whole permissions structure.
Actually I am trying use Invoke-Item and Start-Process to simulate the folder access and ofcourse the Warning permissions popup came up. What I am thinking about and can't realize is make each time the Warning permissions popup come up by using Invoke-Item
or Start-Process whatever the Powershell automaticaly clicks on the "Continue" button.
Any one can help me with, please?

Hi Michel,
you can circumvent the ACL System by enabling Backup and Restore privileges (when running locally). There's a
great Module for that.
However, for a more pragmatic approach, shouldn't access-permissions be handled using Domain Groups? If you want a File Server Admin, why not create a single group named "Data Administrators", set it to full control for all directories (that'll
take changing the permissions once, which will probably take some time) and add that user to this group.
That way, if you later want to have another user administrate the folder structure, all you need to do is change group membership. Furthermore it avoids having to add local administrative privileges for a function that doesn't really require them (least
privilege best practice).
Cheers,
Fred

Powershell v4: Start-Process rar.exe

Good day.
I apologize in advance for my bad english.
I need to call rar.exe (cmd winrar) with Start-Process cmdlet (and not with &), because I need the script waits for completion of archiving, so I want to use it with -Wait parameter. But I do not really know how to type Argumentlist:
Start-Process -FilePath "path_to_winrar\rar.exe" -ArgumentList "a -df $ArchiveName @$filelist" -Wait
Where $filelist is the list with files to archive.
Actually i have tried many combinations but did not succeed, the archive just does not created.
Please help.

2 Bill_Stewart
I don`t know how to explain this. It works if I define variables in script, for example easy script to collect files, put them to the list, archive them and then delete (it is just an example, I know I can delete files by
-df parameter of rar.exe):
#get some files for archiving
$Files = Get-ChildItem "E:\Startx" -Recurse -File
#define list of files for archiving
$filelist = "G:\Utilization\Reports\filelist.txt"
#add files fullnames to the list
$Files | foreach {$_.Fullname} | Out-File $filelist -Append
$reportname = "G:\Utilization\Reports\Del_report.txt"
$archivename = "G:\Utilization\Archives\archive.rar"
#add files from $filelist to archive
if ($Files -ne $null) {&"C:\Users\kopilov\Desktop\WinRar\rar.exe" a $Archivename "@$filelist"}
#then delete all these files
foreach ($file in $Files)
if ($file -ne $null)
"Deleting $($file.Fullname)" | Out-File $ReportName -Append
Remove-Item $file.Fullname | Out-Null
else
"No files for deletion" | Out-File $ReportName -Append
BUT there is another example, where files collected by lastaccesstime attribute (actually it does not matter),
however variables are set as parameters during start of the script:
C:\Users\kopilov\Desktop\arraytest.ps1 -TargetFolder "E:\Startx" -Minutes 1
And the file deletion function does not wait for the rar.exe to complete, and files are deleted
before archiving.
The script itself:
param(
[parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
$TargetFolder,
[parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
$Minutes
$Now = Get-Date
$LastAccess = $Now.AddMinutes(-$Minutes)
$Files = Get-ChildItem $TargetFolder -Recurse -File | Where {$_.LastAccessTime -le "$LastAccess"}
$NameDate = (Get-Date).tostring("dd.MM.yyyy")
$ReportName = 'G:\Utilization\Reports\' + "$((Get-Item $TargetFolder).name)_" + $NameDate + '.txt'
$ArchiveName = 'G:\Utilization\Archives\' + "$((Get-Item $TargetFolder).name)_" + $NameDate + '.zip'
$filelist = 'G:\Utilization\Reports\'+ "$((Get-Item $TargetFolder).name)list_" + $NameDate + '.txt'
$Files | foreach {$_.Fullname} | Out-File $filelist -Append
if ($Files -ne $null) {&"C:\Users\kopilov\Desktop\WinRar\rar.exe" a $ArchiveName "@$filelist"}
foreach ($file in $Files)
if ($file -ne $null)
"Deleting $($file.Fullname)" | Out-File $ReportName -Append
Remove-Item $file.Fullname | Out-Null
else
"No files to delete" | Out-File $ReportName -Append
It is almost the same, but call operator & works different. Do not know how to explain this.
P.S. i just figured out that Start-Process with -Wait parameter works like call operator &.
Sorry, I was wrong. I don`t know why scripts above works different :(

PowerShell using start job to run multiple code blocks at the same time

I will be working with many 1000’s of names in a list preforming multiple function on each name for test labs.
I notice when it is running the functions on each name I am using almost no CPU or memory. That led me to research can I run multiple threads at once in a PowerShell program. That lead me to articles suggesting start-job would do just want I am looking
for.
As a test I put this together. It is a simple action as an exercise to see if this is indeed the best approach. However it appears to me as if it is still only running the actions on one name at a time.
Is there a way to run multiple blocks of code at once?
Thanks
Start-Job {
$csv1 = (Import-Csv "C:\Copy AD to test Lab\data\Usergroups1.csv").username

foreach ($name2 in $csv2) { Write-Output " Job2 $name2"}

You say your testing shows that you are using very little cpu or memory in processing each name, which suggests that processing a single name is a relatively trivial task.
You need to understand that using a background job is going to spin up another instance of powershell, and if you're going to do that per name what used to require a relatively insignificant amount of memory is going to take around 60 MB.
Background jobs are not really well suited for multi-threading short-running, trivial tasks. The overhead of setting up and tearing down the job session can be more than the task itself.
Background jobs are good for long-running tasks. For multi-threading short, trivial tasks runspaces or a workflow would probably be a better choice.

Using AppleScript to click menu items without access for assistive devices?

Hi all,
Is it possible to have AppleScript 'click' menu items without having 'Enable access for assistive devices' enabled?
My script works fine with it on but with it off I just get this:
'System Events got an error: Access for assistive devices is disabled.'
Pretty clear and easy to fix. I don't really want assistive devices enabled, though ...
Any ideas or is this just not possible?
Sorry if this is a n00b question - I'm kinda new to the world of Mac and OS X ...
Thanks!

Ok cool - thanks for the reply.
I've figured out how to set the bounds of the window I'm talking about:
tell application "Transmit" to set bounds of window "Transcript" to {61, 1166, 2559, 1421}
I'll have a hack and see if I can figure out how to open the Transcript window without needing assistive devices enabled.
Thanks again!

Can I connect my Wii to my personal hotspot using my iPhone 5s? Wii finds access point but getting code 51330 after putting in correct password.

I probably should have been more specific in my first post. I have tried various corrective steps including the ones found at this link. Below is the network event log entry from the failed attempt to connect. As you can see, the connecting system can see the hotspot but can't get the hotspot to answer roll call. It thinks it might be a signal strength issue but in fact it has a strong [all 5 bars] signal.

Collect BPM - Start process and correlation in one Receiver

I'm using collect pattern based on timeout. Somehow in my infinite loop, in the receive step, I cannot combine "start process" with creating correlation and using it. All in the same receiver. When I try to activate my BPM, in the processing log I get, "start process" trigger removed.
Can someone throw any light on this....I've being trying this for over few hours now. I cannot get start process and correlation in one receiver. I must be doing something wrong.
Even the copied BPMCollectPattern removes the start process from the receiver.
thank you,
Pam
Additional info:
The first message received starts the process within an infinite loop and activates the correlation "Correlation" by using IDoc message tyoe. Each subsequent message uses this correlation. The messages are received in the container element CollectMessage.In the loop the received messages are attached to the multiline container element CollectMessageList.

Hi,
We are also in SP12. So start process is not a problem, because you are getting an Information saying that "start trigger removed" right? It is not an error.
Are you getting this eror "expression must not return multiline value" after your complete Integration Process desgin ? If So...
I think you are getting this error in Transformation Step where you are doing N:1 mapping. In this step you are mentioning Interface mapping right? Once you mention Interface Mapping in Transformation step you need to give Source Message Structure as well as Target Message Structure. According to my understanding you are getting error here. You can check these errors, while design time itself. If your entries are showing with Red Border then it is understood that there is an error.
So if error is here then I think you need to check your N:1 Mapping. In this mapping your Source side Messages should be 0...unbounded. Similarly in Interface Mapping also. Just check for Source Message Occurences...
I think it will solve your problem.
Thanks,
Moorthy

Powershell start-process argumentlist

I have an issue with powershell 4.0 where start-process converts my credentials from a type of System.Management.Automation.PSCredential to System.String. Use the following lines to replicate this:
$Credentials = Get-Credential
get-member -InputObject $Credentials
start-process C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ArgumentList "Get-Member -inputobject $Credentials | out-file C:\results.txt"
If you look at the results of the 1st get-member command, the type is System.Management.Automation.PSCredential. If you look at the results of the 2nd get-member command, the type is System.String. Does anyone know if this is intended behavior?
Is there a way around it?

I am using start-process to run a command which interfaces with VMware PowerCLI. One of the cmdlets of powercli is Set-OSCustomizationSpec. Set-OSCustomizationSpec has an argument that accepts PSCredentials, -DomainCredentials. When the
credentials are passed without start-process, the cmdlet succeeds. If I call it with start process, the cmdlet fails with the error
'Set-OSCustomizationSpec : Cannot bind parameter 'DomainCredentials'. Cannot convert the "System.Management.Automation.PSCredential" value of type "System.String" to type "System.Management.Automation.PSCredential"'
The actual command i am using is: "start-process powershell -argumentlist "<Add VMwareSnapins>;Set-OSCustomizationSpec <SPEC> -NamingScheme <Scheme> -NamingPrefix <Name> -DomainCredentials <Credentials>; new-vm..."
If you issue the command "get-member -inputobject $Credentials | out-file C:\results.txt" the type shows system.management.automation.pscredential. If you issue the exact same command with start-process(start-process powershell.exe -argumentlist
"get-member....) the type shows system.string.
The issue has nothing to do with piping to a text file. The original post was simply a demonstration of the error. I apologize for the initial lack of clarity.

Error trap with Start-Process

I am trying to use Start-Process to drive Regedit merging a REG file with this code.
Start-Process regedit -Argumentlist:"/S $TempReg" -Wait -ErrorAction:Stop
When the REG file is properly formatted this works a treat, but I can't seem to address the error condition. If I do a Try/Catch it seems to produce a successful Try. I tried doing it with a return code as well, and that didn't seem to see the error either.
Am I doing something wrong in the code, or is Regedit a special case, and if so, can I catch errors from it at all?
Thanks!
Gordon

Hmm, I assume you mean Regedit can't be used "with an error trap"? So, perhaps a different form of the question. First thing to note is that I have tried to address this with direct PowerShell access to the registry, and for some reason Autodesk
products don't respond well to that approach. Everything looks right when I do it, but then the Autodesk product will push it's own settings over the top, and their settings are idiotic. However, when I push my settings via REG file the Autodesk products accept
it and move on.
So, does anyone have a suggestion for either
A: Identifying exactly what the difference is between the .REG and Set-ItemProperty approaches, so the more elegant solution can be made to also work? Or
B: Another approach to REG file merge that does allow for error trapping?
My only other option I think is to implement it without error trapping, as the functionality is pretty important, and the most likely errors will show up in testing not production anyway.
Thanks!

Invoke-command -computername RemoteServer {start-process c:\install\.bat}

I am running an invoke command from a PC to run a .bat file on a remote server. However i would like to see the output of the .bat file run in my powershell window on my local PC. Any tips on this?
I have this at the moment
invoke-command -computername Server {start-process c:\install\.bat}
however this just completes without showing me anything. Can i see the output of the .bat file on my local PC?
Thanks in advance

invoke-command -computername Server01 -filepath c:\Scripts\scriptname.ps1
The script has to be on the local machine or has access to it.
If this is helpful please mark it so. Also if this solved your problem mark as answer.

Unable to open PDF files with Adobe Reader v11.0, in Windows 8, using C# Process.Start()

I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File")
in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.
However, with v11.0, the same command, in Windows 8,
does not open the PDF document. I can see the Acrobat(32) started in the task manager,
but the document does open. Not sure how I can troble shoot
this problem.
As a test, I created ta batch file, with a simple command that calls AcroRD32.exe with a PDF file as a parameter. When I executed the batch file in cmd window, it opens the PDF document. If I execute the batch file using Process.Start(), again it does not
work. The CMD window opens but, the document does not open. The cmd window just stays open.
So, there must be something with opening the PDF using the Process.start() command.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

This is something Adobe has to troubleshoot. Probably the pdf file association is broken. I suggest you to visit forums.adobe.com to ask Adobe about your problem.

Using CREATE PROCESS and START PROCESS in a JSP

Hi,
I have built a simple JSP page. I want to call my workflow program from this page.
How should I use the CREATE PROCESS() AND START PROCESS() inside the JSP page?
Also I want to get the value entered in the text field (which will be a hidden field) to be passed to the ITEM_ATTRIBUTE, which I have defined in my program. How can this be achieved?
Please give me the syntax for this.
Please find below the JSP page
=========================================================
<%@page import= "java.util.Date" %>
<script language="javascript" src="ibeCButton.js"> </script>
<html>
<head>
<title>First Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<H3>Today is:
<%= new java.util.Date() %>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="CART_ID">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" onclick = >
</H3>
</body>
</html>
==========================================================
To use LAUNCHPROCESS in JSP, the following is the syntax.
public static boolean launchProcess
(WFContext wCtx,
String itemType,
String itemKey,
String process,
String userKey,
String owner)
Should WFContext have the connection information of the DB.
If I pass only the WFContext and itemType attributes are they enough? Please let me know.
Thanks

There are two options.
1. Good one.
Include wf*.jar files in your system CLASSPATH. Use oracle.apps.fnd.wf.engine.WFEngineAPI class to access engine APIs. You would need to pass WFContext for which you need WFDB.
You basically created WFDB with username, password and connect string. Pass it to WFContext and use it for all Workflow Engine APIs.
2. OK one.
You can get JDBC connection using the default mechanism that your custom Java and JSP code could be using. Call the PLSQL procedures WF_ENGINE.CreateProcess and WF_ENGINE.LaunchProcess over JDBC.
Anyways option 1 makes life easier.

Powershell using start-process OR Invoke-Item to access directory are getting warning permissions popup.
