PowerShell Web Access - Prefill Computer Name?

One of the devs asked me if there was some way to prefill the computer name field for the PSWA site (since we use the localhost machine quite often).
Is there any way to do this? He mentioned maybe query params?

If there is a query parameter or query string that can be added to the URL then I am not aware of it. Even so, it can be done.
You can modify the code in the logon.aspx file but it'll take some work. Start by stopping the website in IIS. Then locate the file at C:\Windows\Web\PowerShellWebAccess\wwwroot\en-US\logon.aspx. You need to add value="computername" to
the line <input id="targetNodeTextBox" name="computer-name" type="text" class="required" runat="server" clientidmode="Static" />. I added it after the word input and before id="targetNodeTextBox"...
The issue here is that you will have to take ownership of the file first, add modify and write permissions to a group (that you're in) or user (that's you) on the file, copy the file out of the directory, edit it as mentioned above, save it with a new name
and close the file, rename the file to logon.aspx, and then copy it back to the directory above. Painful (and
possibly a security risk?), but that's the only way in which I am aware.
Be sure to start the website in IIS before reloading your PSWA website.
Edit: Added a step to the instructions about adding permissions.

Powershell Web Access - Authorization failure

I've been beating my head against the wall on this one.
Setup Powershell web Access by doing the following:
1.   Install-WindowsFeature WindowsPowerShellWebAccess –IncludeManagementTools
2.   Install-PswaWebApplication –UseTestCertificate
3.   Add-PswaAuthroizationRule
–UserName Domain\Username –ComputerName
* –ConfigurationName MYCONFIG
I'm a domain administrator and I ran these three cmdlets from an administrator powershell window.
The PSWA window gives me this error:
If I run enter-pssession -computername COMPUTER
it works just fine, but not from pswa. I don't know what is wrong here. Nothing in the
event logs either.
This is from a Server 2012 machine to a Server 2012 machine.
Anyone have any ideas?

I did add a restrictive authorization rule. Step 3 that i performed was to run:
Add-PswaAuthroizationRule –UserName Domain\Username –ComputerName
* –ConfigurationName MYCONFIG
Did I miss something in this?

Powershell web access limited to PowerShell 1.0?

Hello,
I setup PowerShell Web Access and it seems to be limited to PowerShell 1.0. I deployed module designed for PowerShell 2.0 and I'm getting error below when trying to import it. Is it expected?
Windows PowerShell
Copyright (C) 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
PS C:\Users\g\Documents>
Import-Module AAWebAdministration
Import-Module : The current Windows PowerShell host is: 'ServerRemoteHost' (version 1.0.0.0). The module
'C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\AAWebAdministration\AAWebAdministration.psd1' requires a
minimum Windows PowerShell host version of '2.0' to run.
+ CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (C:\Windows\syst...nistration.psd1:String) [Import-Module], Invalid
OperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Modules_InsufficientPowerShellHostVersion,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleComm
and
PS C:\Users\g\Documents>

That is just for the ServerRemoteHost version, which doesn't mean that the actual PowerShell version is 1.0. It sounds like the module metadata is incorrect and should be adjusted.
You can go and edit the .psd1 file that is being referenced and set the powershellversion key to 2.0 and set the powershellhostversion to ''.
This should clear up that issue.

PowerShell Web Access - Creating "Self-Serve" Behaviour

Hi all,
I am exploring PowerShell Web Access and I'm looking to set it up to offer self-serve capabilities to Dev/QA. Basically I want to Dev/QA to only be able to execute scripts (no running cmdlets, etc) and only in particular directories.
The goal of this is to allow Dev/QA to get access to the scripts I would normally run, but be able to run them when I'm away for whatever reason (while still keeping them out of the rest of the system).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

I think you can better create Restricted PowerShell EndPoints in PowerShell to allow only the Script to be run (not even core cmdlets)
Have a look here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/07/27/an-introduction-to-powershell-remoting-part-five-constrained-powershell-endpoints.aspx
Hope this helps
Knowledge is Power{Shell}.
This was the ticket. I set up a PSSessionConfiguration and hooked it up via Add-PswaAuthorizationRule.
Thanks.

Web access how to stream to android and ipad`s

Hello.
At the moment I can log into my web access server from another pc and click on media files and be able to watch a film by streaming.
I am unable to do this on my android or ipad is there a step by step guide on how to get this to work?
I am new to owning a server 2012r2 so be gentle.
Thank you.

While PowerShell Web Access (PSWA) does require authorization rules to function, these rules do not specify what cmdlets can be used in a PSRemoting session. The PSWA authorization rules define what user, or group of users, can remotely connect to what computer,
or group of computers, through the PSWA gateway (the PSWA server).
What you need to research are session configurations and/or endpoints. These are separate from PSWA, but can be used in conjunction with PSWA (PSWA website > Optional connection settings > Configuration >
NameOfConfiguration), just as they can in a standard console-based PSRemoting session (Enter-PSSession -ComputerName
server01 -Configuration NameOfConfiguration -or- Invoke-Command -ComputerName
server01 -Configuration NameOfConfiguration).
Start your research with New-PSSessionConfigurationFile and then Register- and Unregister-PSSessionConfiguration. These have been great for our environment, allowing non-admin users access to run very specific cmdlets as an admin, without being an admin
on the computer.

Power Shell Web Access - How to limit the cmdlets and give regular users, access to perform tasks

It is possible to give to regular/standard users, powershell web access to give only, for example, "get-" cmdlets?
The ideia is to provide help desk tech users, a minimum level of access on some servers, and it will be usefull to give then, basic and restrcted access to a few cmdlets, performe harmless activities and mybe some level of access, not alloweing to to using
RDP, but PS, insted

Can't connect to computer in remote web access

I am running sbs 2011 essentials and have been able to remotely log in to the remote web access page. Once I get there I can see all the shared folders on the server (and access them) and I can also see the computers available for access (my computer
and the server). I can access the server dashboard by logging in as the server administrator (by using domain\admin) and then in a second login as a user (domain\user "with administrative rights"). However, when I go to logon to the client
computer, I receive the error "Remote Desktop cannot find the computer "client". This might mean that client doesn't belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and network that you are trying to connect to."
Do I have a DNS problem since I can connect to the SBS 2011 Essentials server?

Hi,
Are you facing issues with all the client machine connection? On the workstations make sure Remote Desktop feature is enabled
Make sure windows firewall service is enabled and inbound rule for allow RDP is enabled.

Web Service Client using computer name instead of IP

Hi,
I've built a small EJB web service with a JAVA application deployed via JAVA Web Start for the client.
I testing the application on our LAN and it worked perfectly on one machine. I tested it on another machine and I get an erro along the lines of:
HTTP Transport Error java.net.UnknownHostException: Ian
"ian" being the computer name of the server machine hosting the EJB we service. I presume the program worked on the first machine as it new which computer on the LAN was "ian", whereas the second machine didnt'.
The applications were built in NetBeans and the only place i can see the "ian" address being used is in the client WSDL file:
<service name="VOQAOnline">
    <port binding="tns:VOQAOnlineSEIBinding" name="VOQAOnlineSEIPort">
      <soap:address location="http://ian:8080/VOQAOnline-EJBModule/VOQAOnline"/>
    </port>
</service>Netbeans seems determined to keep this address using the computer name, even if i delete the web service refernce add it again using the server ip address. I've also tried editing the WSDL file in the client JAR post compile, however the error still occurs, so maybe the problem is somewhere else?
The App server I am using is JBoss 4.0.3. Maybe there is a configuration on the server i need to do?
Eventually I plan to deploy the client app over the Internet, so using the computer name is clearly insufficient and it needs to use the IP. It's really annoying how it works on some machines on the network but not others. Any ideas on how to solve this?

You can associate a Virtual Host to the loopback IP address 127.0.0.1 read about Virtual Hosts here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html
But with the above configuration alone you can access your app via http://somedomainname.com only on your local machine, no one else on the internet will see it.

Hi,
Please try to reset the Internet Explorer settings or open Internet Explorer in In-Private browsing and then check if this issue occurs.
If the issue persists, please try to access SharePoint in another computer with Office 2013 and then check if this issue occurs. Or repair Office and restart your server.

Hello All,
we have created shared folder on multiple client machine in domain environment on different 2 OS like-XP,Vista, etc.
from some day's When we facing problem when we are access from host name that shared folder is accessible but same time same computer when we are trying to access the share folder with IP it asking for credentials i have type again and again
correct credential but unable to access that. If i re-share the folder then we are access it but when we are restarted the system then same problem is occurring.
I have checked IP,DNS,Gateway and more each & everything is well.
Pls suggest us.
Pankaj Kumar

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the same shared folder can be accessed by name, but can’t be accessed be IP address and asks for credentials.
Please try to enable the option below on the device which has shared folder:
Besides, check the Advanced Shring settings of shared folder and confrim that if there is any limitation settings.

Question about "Get Web Drawing URL and Page Name From" for Visio Web Access

I am trying to get both the web drawing URL and the page name from a list through Share Point Designer 2013, but it doesn´t work.
It looks fine when a do the web part connection wizard. I select from which columns to get the URL and the page name. But on the final web part page nothing happens. It just shows the URL that is selected in the Visio Web Access Web part. I had hoped that
that value should be overrided by the SPD-settings.
I have googled for hours..

Hello,
I have now saved the Visio-file in .vdw-format, but it says Visio 2010 Web Drawing (*.vdw). Is there a .vdw-format for 2013? Isn´t that the .vsdx-format?
Still doesn´t work with the .vdw-format, but maybe I am doing something wrong.
Any ideas?

Powershell dealing with a range of computer names.

Hello all. Abridged description, I'm a lab admin trying to re-write a VBS login script into Powershell. I need to be able to run commands determined by computer name and number...for instance, I have complabA01 through complabA70. 01-25
need to do an action and copy a shared file, 26-40 need a different action and the same shared file, and 41-70 get a different action still and said shared file. I've got the base code laid out and functional to determine the computer name and specific
lines based on that:
$cn = $env:computername
If($cn -like 'complabA*'){do stuff}
If($cn -like 'complabB*'){do other stuff} so on.
Is there a way go a layer deeper on that and say "if your number 01-25 do this"? The problem well may be that I'm coming at this with slightly deeper roots in VBS... so I may well be over/under thinking this.
In case it'll help, in VBS we handle it by turning the numbers at the end of the name into a separate variable and using said secondary variable in a select case.
Any thoughts on how that can be done in Powershell?

You can do this using a regular expression match. For example:
$computerName = "complabB04"
$computerName | select-string '^complab([\D])([\d]+)' | foreach-object {
$labCode = $_.Matches[0].Groups[1].Value
$computerCode = $_.Matches[0].Groups[2].Value
"Lab code: $labCode" # B
"Computer code: $computerCode" # 04

Hi Tracy,
Have you changed something on your SharePoint 2007 environment recently before this issue occurred?
This issue may be related to Alternate Access Mappings settings like the following similar post, if you have configured AAM, you can check if this issue happened to some URLs, if it's the case, please add the problematic URLs as a Publish URLs for the default
zone for your web application, and also add these URLs as trusted locations, then check results again.
If above doesn't work, please enable ULS log on verbose level to get more useful log errors which time are corresponding to the errors occur.

BlackBerry Internet Service with Microsoft Outlook Web Access account

I need to switch my 8820 to a new work account. They use Outlook Exchange 2003, but do not support BES. I have access via both regular desktop Outlook and also Outlook Web Access (from a different server). I read the procedure to use BIS in KnowledgeBase KB03133. After entering my email address and password, I get a message that it was successfully set up. But, I get no e-mail messages delivered. When I check the settings, it looks like it is not using the correct server for Web Access. However, I can find no way to manually enter it - I don't get the error message described in Step 5 where I can pick "I will provide the settings." I try to set up via computer but I get a message that my BIS cannot be accessed via HTML and need to set up on my BB.
Any suggestions? Would it work with a newer phone running a newer OS? Do I need to check with AT&T if it supports Outlook Web Access? Thanks in advance.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Lot's of possible variables...here a several other KBs to try:

KB02858Unable to integrate a Microsoft Outlook Web Access email address with a BlackBerry Internet Service account
The trick to getting to the manual settings screen is to provide your valid email address, but an incorrect password...then, it will allow you to manually enter the settings.
Good luck!
