Should I update my windows power shell???

I have windows power shell 2.0 since I bought this computer four years ago but so far I have not done it.
I am in doubt about which version to update to. Itcould be version 3.0 our 4.0??? I have MICROSOFT WEB PLATAFORM INSTALLER which has version 3.0 to download but I know that there already is a new version 4.0 . So which one should I download
if necessary??? Thanksss!!!

Which operating system are you running?
I would upgrade if I wanted to use or write scripts that make use of features in later versions.

What does this mean windows power shell has stopped working

It can mean many things. PowerShell may be damaged, something may have caused a crash, or malware could be involved.

How to Execute Power Shell Command From Windows Application.

Hi All Experts,
I want to execute power shell commands from my windows application.
Is it possible ?
Please let me know your comments..
Thanks.

I have not tried this, but apprently it is easy as in the sample pasted below. please see this article for more details
http://geekswithblogs.net/Norgean/archive/2012/09/19/running-powershell-from-within-sharepoint.aspx.
Let me know how it goes...
public string RunPowershell(string powershellText, SPWeb web, string param1, string param2) {
// Powershell ~= RunspaceFactory - i.e. Create a powershell context
var runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
var resultString = new StringBuilder();
try
// load the SharePoint snapin - Note: you cannot do this in the script itself (i.e. add-pssnapin etc does not work)
PSSnapInException snapInError;
runspace.RunspaceConfiguration.AddPSSnapIn("Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell", out snapInError);
runspace.Open();
// set a web variable.
runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("webContext", web);
// and some user defined parameters
runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("param1", param1);
runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("param2", param2);
var pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
pipeline.Commands.AddScript(powershellText);
// add a "return" variable
pipeline.Commands.Add("Out-String");
// execute!
var results = pipeline.Invoke();
// convert the script result into a single string
foreach (PSObject obj in results)
resultString.AppendLine(obj.ToString());
finally
// close the runspace
runspace.Close();
// consider logging the result. Or something.
return resultString.ToString();
Ok. We've written some code. Let us test it.
var runner = new PowershellRunner();
runner.RunPowershellScript(@"
$web = Get-SPWeb 'http://server/web' # or $webContext
$web.Title = $param1
$web.Update()
$web.Dispose()
", null, "New title", "not used");

IIS Issue:when trying to download code from AWS S3 and deploy in IIS server using Power Shell script while Windows startup Default Application pool is not started.

Hi,
I am trying to launch Amazon EC2 windows server 2008 R2 instance using AWS Auto Scaling feature. I have used cusmized AMI in Autoscaling Launch configuration to launch an instance.I have placed Power Shell script in AMI.
The responsibility of script is to download code from AWS S3 and deploy in IIS server while windows startup first time.
When i check status, IIS is started succesfully. But default Application pool is not started.
To resolve this issue i have written one scheduled script. It helps to start the application pool if any application pool is in stopped state.
After this Application pool is started but i am not able to communicate with IIS server through browser.
Please help any one to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance

Hi Vchreddy,

I updated to windows 8.1. Now acrobat writer does not work anymore even after repair. I am getting an activation error when trying to make a pdf. What should I do?

Can somebody help. A phone number to contact acrobat writer support? I paid for the program and it worked perfectly until I updated form windows 8 to windows 8.1.
I am getting the error"not allowed to use the software, I think license issue or something like that even though I paid for it".

Hi sergeguzy,
Which Acrobat version are you using?
By saying Acrobat writer, do you mean Adobe PDF printer in Acrobat or PDFMaker in Office products?
Also, you might try repairing Acrobat from the Help menu.
Hope to hear from you.

Should I let it install "Apple software update for windows 2.0.2"?

Thanks, in advance... it may just be a ditz of a question.
Running Vista and when in Mac occasionally run Parallels, Apple Software Update window popped and this update appeared:
Apple software update for windows 2.0.2 with the description
"This update includes general fixes and renews the root certificate that authenticates software delivered via Apple Software Update."
I figure it was logical enough considering the obvious link but the description just looked to vague. So, I put it off... today searching the internet, Apple Help and so on for this "update" cannot find it anywhere. I have already had problems with file corruption so "fixing root certificates" unnecessarily is not ideal.
Anyone else know one way or another or just tell it to go away for good?
Thank you,
Kylie

I never actually use Software Update excep to tell me there is something (if I hadn't read about it). I go to the standalone downloads. There was one for QuickTime for Windows that you DO want.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
It sounds like Software Update for Windows, and that probably does deserve installing (I use x64 and don't really trust support yet or installers from Apple for now) so I have Apple software update in vista turned off.
I do have the 9-17-2007 2.0.2 "Apple Software Update for Windows" installed.
Why I don't trust Apple: alerts and UAC's are always hidden behind the installer window in front. I just tried to close the windows or dialogue box for Apple Software Update Preferences, it asked for UAC and went black, but I can't even close the box even though all I did was hit "Okay" button. So its 'hung' now.
Apple needs to improve the installer for Vista - a lot. I like not having to type a password every time, that has gotten old after 6 yrs.

Need a power shell command for Front End fail over?

We have a Lync 2013 infrastructure with 2 front ends and 2 edges.
The environment was setup by a partner and the servers were configured for failover in case one goes down in the pool.
However the last time windows updates were applied and the primary FE had to be restarted, the secondary FE did not automatically switch over as the active server and it caused a companywide outage.
In speaking with the contractor, they said that well no it would not automatically do this, you need to run a Lync PowerShell to have it switch over.
My BS radar went off, but I wanted to ask you if this sounds right or is possible.
If it must be done, could you give me the power shell command.
Thanks

Hi,
Did you solve the issue with the help of the people above provided?
If you use a Lync server Enterprise edition, it is recommended to deploy at least three FE servers.
If you use two Lync server Standard edition for DR,
when one of the servers fails in the Pool Pair, the administrator need to manually failover the pool to the other member of the Pool Pair using the
command: Invoke-CsPoolFailover -PoolFQDN <Pool1 FQDN> -DisasterMode -Verbose
The Automatic failover and failback for
Voice option and the associated time intervals in Topology Builder apply only to the voice resiliency features that were introduced in Lync Server 2010. Selecting this option does not imply that the pool failover discussed in this document is automatic.
Pool failover and failback always require an administrator to manually invoke the failover and failback.
You can refer to the link below about how to failover a pool:

Does it help, yes and no. FYI, we are running Enterprise Edition front ends for our single pool. The new environment was setup as a proof of concept and we installed the bare minimum # of servers at the time.
The articles suggested from above pretty much just say if one of your FE's goes down, bring it back up as soon as possible. Both of our FE's need windows updates applied ASAP and it could an hour or more (likely). Here is a quote from the article:
If for some reason you need to bring both servers down at the same time, do the following when the downtime for the pool is finished:
The best practice is to restart both Front End Servers at the same time.
If the two servers cannot be restarted at the same time, you should bring them back up in the reverse order of the order they went down.
If you cannot bring them back up in that order, then use the following cmdlet before bringing the pool back up:
Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState -ResetType QuorumLossRecovery -PoolFQDN <FQDN>
The last time the main FE went down for service, we left the secondary FE on but there was still an outage. Then brought back the formerly active FE fist and service was restored. Basically I need to know how to switch the passive to the active
node before/while the primary is offline. And if required once both FE's are back up, to switch the service from the secondary that became active, back to the primary server as it was before. Make sense? Perhaps I'm still missing something
after reading the articles. The powershell commands list just updating the topology after both servers come back online.

Remote managment Exchange 2013 SP1 from C# code using Power-Shell.

Hello,
Sorry if I am describing something wrong, but it is first time I am using Microsoft development forum.
I am trying to built library that will manage Exchange remotely using C# code (VS 2012) and Power-Shell ver.4.0. My workstation and the actual Exchange server physically placed in different domains. In order to test functionalities I am using
user that is member of all administrating and management groups in the appropriative domain. Remote Power-Shell is enabled on Exchange.
In order to connect to the Service I am using that part of code :
internal static bool RedirectionUrlValidationCallback(string redirectionUrl)
bool result = false;
var redirectionUri = new Uri(redirectionUrl);
if (redirectionUri.Scheme.Equals("https"))
result = true;
return result;
internal static ExchangeService ConnectToService(ExchangeVersion version,
string userName,
string emailAddress,
string password,
string domainName,
ref Uri autodiscoverUrl)
ExchangeService service;
try
service = new ExchangeService(version);
service.Credentials = new WebCredentials(userName, password, domainName);
if (autodiscoverUrl.IsNull())
var ads = new AutodiscoverService();
// Enable tracing.
ads.TraceEnabled = true;
// Set the credentials.
ads.Credentials = service.Credentials;
// Prevent the AutodiscoverService from looking in the local Active Directory
// for the Exchange Web Services Services SCP.
ads.EnableScpLookup = false;
// Specify a redirection URL validation
//callback that returns true for valid URLs.
ads.RedirectionUrlValidationCallback = RedirectionUrlValidationCallback;
// Get the Exchange Web Services URL for the user’s mailbox.
var response = ads.GetUserSettings(emailAddress, UserSettingName.InternalEwsUrl);
// Extract the Exchange Web Services URL from the response.
autodiscoverUrl = new Uri(response.Settings[UserSettingName.InternalEwsUrl].ToString());
// Update Service Url
service.Url = autodiscoverUrl;
else
service.Url = autodiscoverUrl;
catch (FormatException fe) // The user principal name(email) is in a bad format. UPN format is needed.
LoggingFactory.LogException(fe);
return null;
catch (AutodiscoverLocalException ale)
LoggingFactory.LogException(ale);
return null;
catch (Exception e)
LoggingFactory.LogException(e);
return null;
return service;
Then I am trying to reach existing mailbox of that user, using this part of code :
try
var runSpace = getRunspace();
var pwShell = PowerShell.Create();
pwShell.Runspace = runSpace;
var command = new PSCommand();
command.AddCommand("Get-Mailbox");
command.AddParameter("Identity", userPrincipalName);
command.AddParameter("RecipientTypeDetails", recipientType);
pwShell.Commands = command;
var result = pwShell.Invoke();
if (result.IsNotNull() && result.Any())
// TODO : fill appropriative DTO and return it.
else
// TODO : send back appropriative error.
closeRunSpace(runSpace);
catch (Exception e)
// TODO : log the exception and send back appropriative error.
private Runspace getRunspace()
var runSpaceConfig = RunspaceConfiguration.Create();
var runSpace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(runSpaceConfig);
PSSnapInException snapEx;
var psInfo = runSpaceConfig.AddPSSnapIn("Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010", out snapEx);
runSpace.Open();
return runSpace;
private void closeRunSpace(Runspace runSpace)
runSpace.Close();
runSpace.Dispose();
With this part I had problem. I received exception that appropriative Snap-in is not installed on my computer. I had no installation disk of Exchange in order to install Management Tool (as I understand this is the way to add needed part) so I changed run
space activation to that part of code :
private Runspace getRunspace()
var newCredentials = (PSCredential)null;
var connectionInfo = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri("http://exchange.domainname.local/powershell?serializationLevel=Full"),
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.Exchange",
newCredentials);
connectionInfo.AuthenticationMechanism = AuthenticationMechanism.Kerberos;
var runSpace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(connectionInfo);
runSpace.Open();
return runSpace;
Now I am receiving exception :
"Connecting to remote server exchange.domainname.local failed with the following error message :
[ClientAccessServer=exchange,BackEndServer=exchange.domainname.local,RequestId=....,TimeStamp=...]
Access is denied. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic."
Please help me to understand what I am doing wrong.
Thank you.
Alexander.

In Exchange 2010 you should be using Remote Powershell not local powershell and the snap-in. Here is a sample that may help you:

Trying to run program off network location using GPO with Power shell script.

Hello All,
Not much of a script writer. I am giving it a shot. My issue is that I need to run a application update across our network and I am trying to do it with as little hands on as possible. So I was planning to push a GPO with a power shell script in it
to run the program with elevated privileges.
Little background:
We are running on a domain and end users do not have admin rights.
The application is stored on a share on our network that is open to all domain users.
The installer user name and password is a temp one and will only be valid for the 30 min window when everyone logs in at the beginning of the day.
So this is what I have so far.
$username = "USER"
$password = "PASSWORD"
$credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList @($username,(ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -AsPlainText -Force))
Start-Process PSQLv11Patch_Client_x86.msp -Credential ($credentials) -WorkingDirectory \\Server\Folder\Folder1\Folder2\filder3\PSQLv11sp3_x32\
But for some reason I keep getting :
Start-Process : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.
At line:10 char:1
+ Start-Process PSQLv11Patch_Client_x86.msp -Credential ($credentials) -WorkingDir ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Start-Process], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand
Any help you could give would be great.
Thanks,
jdfmonkey

Hi jdfmonkey,
Has anyone provided an answer to your original question? I am trying to use Start-Process to launch a process using another logged in user's credentials, and am not able to get it working:
$cred=Get-Credential
start-process Process.exe-WorkingDirectoryC:\Scripts-Credential$cred
I get the same error that you mentioned:
start-process : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.
At C:\Scripts\Process.ps1:2 char:1
+ start-process Process.exe -WorkingDirectory C:\Scripts -Credential ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Start-Process], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand
When I leave off the credentials:
start-processProcess.exe-WorkingDirectoryC:\Scripts
It works correctly. Does anyone have a solution to make this work correctly?
Please ask your own question. You issue is nothing like the current thread. You clearly are using a user account that has no access to the folder. It is a permissions issue. It is not a scripting issue.
If you need further help please start your own question.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

X240 Windows 8 RapidBoot HDD Accelerator and update to Windows 8.1

Hi All,
Just bought an x240 (20AL008JUS) and I am having significant problems getting this system to update. This system comes with Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.
Why is RapidBoot HDD Accelerator on this system? From everything I read there is no such thing as RapidBoot by Lenovo for Windows 8. This looks to be a Windows 7 only utility.
Is there some secret sequence necessary to get this system updated to Windows 8.1? I have tried many sequences so far each followed by a full Windows restore (full format, not just refresh), this is the latest:
(BIOS already updated on earlier attempt.)
1. Remove Pokki Start Menu and App Store
2. Remove RapidBoot HDD Accelerator
3. Remove Norton and run from the internet "Norton Removal Tool"
4. Shutdown and Power on
5. Enable Windows Defender, update Windows Defender
6. Run Lenovo System Updates - update all except SharIt and Password Manager
7. Shutdown and Power on
8. Allow Windows to install updates via "Update and Restart"
9. Run Windows 8.1 upgrade from Microsoft App Store
Typically the system dies somewhere in this group of steps. I don't know why. I have finally received restore CDs, although they are marked as for 20AJ systems (x240s), and I'm not sure why. It looks like the restore has finally completed. Before I continue trying to update, can anyone point out anything better that should be done?
Also, anyone know the difference between running restore from CDs vs using Windows' restore functionality?
Thanks,
Nachum

Hi,
Firstly I don't know how this is going to work on new machine because the Windows 8 lisence would NOT work at all.
Regards.

Serious flaw in updater for windows on iPod Photo (plug icon)

When I ran the new updater (on windows) it says very briefly that I have to plug the ipod into the power to complete the firmware. I didn't see this message the first time so I thought I had to reset my iPod.
Result: it won't start or reset anymore !!
I had to send my iPod to repair and the erased the iPod and returned it to me. With the return I got a instruction, which explains about how to run the updater on windows, but nothing on plugging it in the wall to update !!
So if I had missed the brief message of the updater I could have the same problem. This time I kept it connected for a couple of minutes and the iPod resetted and now I'm back to business.
I think apple should fix this serious flaw in the updater and in the documentation !!!!

It is a mailing in dutch and on paper (N073-0789 Rev. E).
It says:
<quote>
Step 4: Connect your iPod. After a few second the button "recover"will be active. Click on "recover". iPod Updater formats your iPod for Windows XP or 2000.
Step 5: Close iPod Updater after the recoverprocess is done.
</quote>
Between 4 and 5 it should say something about the flashing with the power plug I think.
More important, I think the updater should keep the message in display while the iPod is still connected !
This saves a lot of useless repairs I think (and really missing your iPod for a week )!

Should I update my windows power shell???
