Run powershell commands on a bat file

Hello,
I can call powershell on command line as below:
C:\>echo I am in Command Shell
I am in Command Shell
C:\>powershell
Windows PowerShell
Copyright (C) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
PS C:\> Write-Host I am in Powershell
I am in Powershell
PS C:\> exit
C:\>echo I returned to Command Shell
I returned to Command Shell
But I want to create a bat file and run these commands in bat file. To do this, I copied and pasted same codes to Test.bat file:
echo I am in Command Shell
powershell
Write-Host I am in Powershell
exit
echo I returned to Command Shell
But after "powershell" command nothing worked as below:
C:\>.\Test.bat
C:\>echo I am in Command Shell
I am in Command Shell
C:\>powershell
Windows PowerShell
Copyright (C) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
PS C:\>
I want this output:
I am in Command Shell
I am in Powershell
I returned to Command Shell
How can I handle this problem.
PS: I don't want to use powershell file (*.ps1).
Thanks

In my Test.bat file there are some commands. My Test.bat file is sth like this:
@echo off
echo I am in Command Shell
powershell.exe
Write-Host I am in Powershell
$Var = "Some words"
Write-Host My ID: $Id, String: $Var
exit
echo I returned to Command Shell
There are other different commands, such as importing modules or setting variables or configuring computer settings,.... So, I think "powershell -command" is not applicable. 
In brief;
Above codes work in command line.
But when I use same codes in a batch file, nothing works in powershell. Result is sth line this:
C:\>Test.bat
I am in Command Shell
Windows PowerShell

  • Need to run powershell script in a bat file

    Apparently I don't know where to put everything.
    I have a single line:
    %windir%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit import-module ActiveDirectory; -Command {Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=Shannon Memorial,ou=Domain Users and Groups,dc=shannonhealth,dc=local" -Properties Description,EmailAddress|Select-Object

    'Select-Object' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.
    I modified to 2 lines:
    %windir%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit import-module ActiveDirectory;
    Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=Shannon Memorial,ou=Domain Users and Groups,dc=shannonhealth,dc=local" -Properties Description,EmailAddress|Select-Object -Property Name,SamAccountName,Description,EmailAddress|Export-Csv "\\svr-resource2\home2$\information

    'Get-ADUser' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.
    If I paste the command in before I type exit, it works. 
    If I paste:
    %windir%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit import-module ActiveDirectory;
    I am put in the ad powereshell
    Then I paste:

    and I get the expected output.
    What do I need to have in the bat file so the 2nd line of the script will run? and where does it go?

  • Administrator Unable To Run Powershell Commands When UPD Enabled

    Hi All,
    We have a single Windows 2012 R2 RDS configured with UPD enabled for the defined collection. So far everything is working fine for standard users; however, the domain administrator can no longer run PowerShell commands (see attached screenshot). 
    I believe this is the result of the UPD "impersonating" the local c:\. How can I get around this for domain administrator accounts?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    By UPD, you mean user profile disk, right?
    In addition, all non-administrator users can run the exact same PowerShell cmdlet, right?
    What about other PowerShell cmdlets, are administrators able to run them?
    Best Regards,

  • Running Oracle startup or shutdown bat file from Java code

    I have two bat files for the startup and shutdown of Oracle instance which works fine from the command prompt. But my requirement is to run it through a Java program. Please reply with full Java code. Also mention how I would get the status of the bat files that it is successfully executed or not and if not what is the error.

    Your program is working fine, but there is another problem. What's happening now is I have to open the Login screen after the startup of oracle server is complete, but the next line of my program after Runtime.exec is the LoginScreen.show which immediately shows the login screen after executing Runtime.exec and when I am giving the login name and password and press enter, it shows Oracle not available exception, because the startup process is still in progress. I want to stop the execution of my next line of code until and unless my process of Oracle startup is complete.

    .AddParameter("Path", newPathName)
    .AddParameter("ItemType", "directory");
    ps.AddStatement().AddCommand("New-WebVirtualDirectory")
    .AddParameter("Site", Properties.Settings.Default.VirtualDirectoryPath)
    .AddParameter("Name", userName)
    .AddParameter("physicalPath", newPathName);
    ps.Invoke();
    and (scriptContents is a string holding the
    Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
    runspace.Open();
    Pipeline pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
    pipeline.Commands.AddScript(scriptContents);
    pipeline.Commands.Add("Out-String");
    Collection<PSObject> results = pipeline.Invoke();
    runspace.Close();

    I tried yet another way to make a Virtual Directory:
    public void CreateVirtualDirectory2(string userName, string password)
    string newPhysicalPathName = Path.Combine(Properties.Settings.Default.PhysicalPathForVirtualDirectory, userName);
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    if (Directory.Exists(newPhysicalPathName) == false)
    sb.AppendLine(@"md " + newPhysicalPathName);
    sb.AppendLine("cd iis:");
    sb.AppendLine("cd Sites");
    sb.AppendLine("cd ftp");
    sb.AppendLine(@"New-Item 'IIS:\Sites\ftp\bridgenet\" + userName + @"' -Type VirtualDirectory -physicalPath " + newPhysicalPathName);
    string script = VirtualDirectoryScript(sb.ToString());
    RunspaceInvoke invoker = new RunspaceInvoke();
    try
    invoker.Invoke(script);
    catch (Exception e)
    Console.ForegroundColor= ConsoleColor.Black;
    Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
    Console.WriteLine("ERROR: " + e.Message);
    Console.ResetColor();
    And the same exception occurs
    "A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'physicalPath'."
    When I run the script outside of C#, there's no error.
    So no one's responded yet , which is pretty disappointing.

  • Using the "Run Powershell command" in Task Sequence

    Hi,
    We are having problems executing PowerShell Scripts from within a TaskSequence. We use this to perform different actions on our servers.
    * We have a GPO for Windows PowerShell that is set to "allow all scripts"
    * In Sccm, the computer agent setting is set to "bypass"
    *In the deployement we specify that we want to run the content from the DP
    When we run the TaskSequence, powershell is started but the script is not executed. The TS is stuck at this time and is just waiting for the script to execute... After killing the powershell process, the TS failes (of course).
    How can we get this working:
    -by disabling the GPO -> indeed then it works
    -by downloading the content locally (we don't want that either)
    Is there any other solution to this?
    I've also tried this but no go:
    Quote:
    Please note, that this policy will only work for scripts which are executed locally. If you want to execute ps1 scripts from a network drive it might be neccessary to add the dp server name into the trusted sites of the IE!

    I also tried to run it via the command line option and call powershell.exe, same problem. Executing a scriptblock on the other hand does work. (In the scriptblock, it put get-executionpolicy and it is returning unrestricted)

  • Running Powershell command from PHP returns blank page

    Hi. :-)
    I have this script :
    <?php
    $q = shell_exec('powershell Get-Help');
    echo $q;
    ?>
    This works well and gives me output.
    But... When I change Get-Help with Get-VM it gives me blank page as ouput. I have simillar problems with other Hyper-V cmdlets.
    This is code 1:
    <?php
    $q = shell_exec('powershell Get-VM');
    echo $q;
    ?>
    This code gives me blank page.
    Code 2:
    <?php
    $q = shell_exec('powershell Start-VM 'Vm1'');
    echo $q;
    ?>
    This code gives me that it cannot find VM with that name.
    What's the problem, what to change in script or system settings.
    Note: All this commands WORK and gives me output when I run it from cmd
    Things that I did:
     1. Changed execution policy to Unrestricted
     2. Added 2<&1 at the end of shell_exec.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I think we should run powershell as adminitrator to get VMs.
    Start-Process "$psHome\powershell.exe" -Verb Runas -ArgumentList '-command "Get-VM"'

  • Run powershell command in app part on submitting item in O365 Sharepoint list.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to run a Powershell command when submitting a form on the list to create mailbox for user.
    As your environment is Office 365, I suggest you can create a web service to call the PowerShell Command using C#. Then in the office 365 list, you can create a remote event receiver to trigger the web service to
    achieve it.

  • Commands in a .bat file

    I have a small .bat file.  It was created to install an application as an administrator for Windows 7.  Once the setup.exe file is executed (statement below), it will ask the user to click the "next" button a few times during
    the application installation process.
    Is there a parameter or command I can put after this statement where the application will install and the user will NOT have to keep clicking the next button?
    %THISDIR%Elevate.EXE -wait4exit %THISDIR%Install\setup.exe
    Thanks for any input or suggestions.

    This depends entirely on whether your 'setup.exe' program has a command-line option (such as
    /SILENT) that permits hands-free installation. That is not a question we can answer in this forum.
    You need to ask the author(s) of your 'setup.exe' program whether this is possible. You can ask for vendor support or search for the package to find out whether you can do a silent install.

  • Picture Manager with command line for Bat files

    Hello 
    I am wondering if Microsoft Picture manager has any command line switches i could use.
    I resize thousands of photos weekly using Picture manager for a semi automated process. The resize is the part that is not automated. For some reason when using image magik the resize is done but it does not accept some images where i upload them, yet if
    i do it in parallel with Office picture manager the Microsoft re-sized always work. 
    The process uses VB Access, downloads all images changes the extension from one card extensions to jpg and ammends the name. sorts the images to two folders.
    Then i resize as a batch manually. Not difficult but needs hands on and have you tried changing the dimensions in picture manager when all are selected. tedious!
    Then the final bat uploads to correct locations. 
    So my question, how to use command line with Microsoft picture manager. If not command line Powershell. I can not beleive that the program can not be opened specifying a folder and resize image dimension to use. I cant see the source code where i believe
    it would be apparent to me how to do so.
    Thank you
    Sometimes the answer is so blindingly obvious i fail to see!

    I have done it before on BOXI R2 with the IW, and it works fine
    But any how, this is the way that we have to work with, since it is part of a customer product and the link universe and it's reports  is an additional part of the product.
    So is there a way that I can pull just the main universe and it's reports?

  • Running sql commands from a .sql file

    Hello , I have this problem. How do i execute sql commands found in a .sql file with jdbc. My RDBMS is mysql.

    You will have to open and parse the .sql file, connect to the database, and execute the statements. You can't simply tell JDBC to run your .sql file.
    Depending on the complexity of your .sql file this is easy or hard. If its a bunch of e.g. updates or deletes or something you may be able to get away with running it as a block. In Oracle for example, you can put "begin" and "end;" around a bunch of statements and run it all together. In that case your program would open the SQL file, read the text, put it inside a "begin" and "end;", and run it as a single SQL statement.
    If its a bunch of statements that must be run independently then you'll have to programatically split them up to run one at a time. If its a select and you want to e.g. print results to the screen, well, then it gets tougher...

  • Running .bat files as administrator on win 7 and win 2k8 machines

    I have .bat which will be copied onto Win 7 and Win 2k8 machines remotely. The batch file contains scripts to stop and restart Windows services, like,
    net stop "Adobe Acrobat Update Service".
    Now when I run this batch file, I get "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied."
    I understand that I need to run this batch file as administrator (here by administrator I mean, Windows default administrator.).
    Does anyone have a solution for this?
    P.S: 1) "run as" command inside the .bat file won't work, since you need to run the .bat file itself as administrator (here by administrator I mean, Windows default administrator.).
    2) I can create another batch file (say b.bat) containing the "run as" command and invoking the the original batch file (say a.bat), which has the command net stop "Adobe Acrobat Update Service". But still, this won't solve the issue, since you can run as,
    the user, who has administrator privileges and not run as administrator (here by administrator I mean, Windows default administrator.) itself.

    Suhas,
    Can you explain me why you want to do this?
    Maby there are there some beter ways to achive your goal.
    The reason why this doesn't work is UAC who strips the administrator tokens from your user account.
    So it is not nesseary to use the default windows administrator account. Just a user with administrative priviliges will do you only need to run this command elevated.
    There are several ways to run this command elevated:
    Just right click on the batch file and choose the option run as administator.
    Quite simple but a no go if you wanna have a fully automated solution
    Use PsExec.exe  from the pstools suite (avaible
    here)
    If you use the command like this:
    PSEXEC -u domain\user -p password -h net stop spooler
    PSEXEC -u domain\user -p password -h net start spooler
    Or from a remote machine (pcX = remote management machine, pcY = machine where you want to restart the service.)
    Execute this command on machine pcX:
    PSEXEC \\pcY -u domain\user -p password -h net stop spooler
    PSEXEC \\pcY -u domain\user -p password -h net start spooler
    Create a sheduled task with the "highest privlilges" that executes your batch file.

  • Running from a command line with a .bat file

    I am running my program through a .bat file.
    The .bat file looks as follows:
    java ../classes/HelloWorld
    The .bat file is in a directory at the same level as classes so to get to the class file to run I specify this path. However, it cannot find the class file unless it is in the same directory as the .bat file. Is there a way around this?

    hi,
    as you could have known from the documentation, the java virtual machine executable 'java' expects a fully qualified class name as parameter, no file path. so 'java ../classes/HelloWorld' is of course completely wrong, it should be 'java HelloWorld' and nothing else. if you want to specify a certain path where the class file is to be found, use the -classpath command line option as in 'java -classpath ../classes/ HelloWorld'.
