Hi mniceguy81,
Did you try to enable "run as" in XP ?
Please refer to following link :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294676
And please try to use powershell command :
$cred = New-Object Management.Automation.PSCredential("$UserName", $securePassword)
copy-item xxxx xxxx -credential $cred

Assuming your SD card is large enough you can right click, copy and then right click on the SD and paste.

ARD: destination items from the "copy items" window

How can I delete or modify the list of last used destinations from the "copy items" window?

Hi,
This issue may occur if there is a corruption of either the rule or within the mailbox.
Please first try to reset the send/receive settings to check the result. Resetting the send/receive settings can be achieved by renaming the srs-file of your profile to .old. You can find the srs-file for your mail profile in:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook
If above doesn't fix the issue, please go to File > Manage Rule & Alerts, delete the rule and then run a repair of your Outlook data file. Then, recreate the rule to check the result. For detailed steps, please refer:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/133
Please let me know the result.

Steve Fan

Copy-Item using Windows PowerShell Multithreading?

Hello all,
I need to figure out a way to copy a 500MB .zip file to about 400 servers in parallel.
Until now, I have been using the ForEach () method. But, I'd like to use a parallel method so that I can copy 500MB to multiple servers at once, to lower the total copy time.
I have been reading that I can do this using PowerShell Jobs. What is the best way to do this?
Here is my code using ForEach:
$servers = Get-Content C:\servers.txt
ForEach ($server in $servers)
Copy-Item -Path C:\500MB.zip -Destination "\\$server\c$\" -Verbose
Any help very much appreciated.

Hi Tommymaynard,
Sorry for reopening this thread. I'm facing a same scenario as that of TechNetKing. I want to do a copy from my local machine to 'n' remote machines.
I tried the following:
$remoteMachines ='MachineA', 'MachineB', 'MachineC'
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $remoteMachines -ScriptBlock {
Copy-Item -Path "\\MachineZ\C$\Sample.txt" -Destination "\\$_\C$\" -Verbose
MachineZ is the machine from which I'm running the above script.
Access is denied
+ CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (\\x.x.x.x\..Sample.txt:String) [Copy-Item], UnauthorizedAccessException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ItemExistsUnauthorizedAccessError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.CopyItemCommand

Cannot find path '\\192.168.172.219\Public\Aravind\invoke-parallel.txt' because it does not exist.

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.CopyItemCommand

(Same error message repeated for MachineB and C as well)
Am I doing it right ? PLease help.
Thanks in advance,

Using Copy-Item to overwrite files in remote server directory

Hello,
I am trying to copy newer files over older files from my workstation to a server using the copy-item cmdlet.
The cmdlet looks something like this:
copy-item *.* \\servername\c:$\pathname -force
There are no subfolders involved, so -recurse is not necessary.
When I run the command, I get this:
Copy-Item : Access to the path <Destination> is denied.
At line:1 char:1
+ Copy-Item '<source file>' '<Destination>
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Copy-Item], UnauthorizedAccessException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.CopyItemCommand
I am running with administrative credentials at both ends of the network path AND I can use the GUI to copy and paste the files using Windows Explorer. I am losing hair due to scratching my head.

Yes, what threw me was my ablity to copy and paste using Explorer from my machine to the server in an RDP session. I asked myself, "If I could do that, why can I not use the command line?"
Then I did some googling and found all kinds of the same error but it was pointing towards files that existed or sharepoint sites. In some of those cases, the solution was to remove the folder and then replace it. That was not a an option in
my case.
So, I figure I can read using my normal user credentials and copy to the clipboard and then in the RDP window, I am the Admin user and can paste from my machine's clipboard. Interesting behavior.

Why I cant view my picture on my iphoto and if I try to copy to any folder it Shows "The item on the clipboard cant be pasted to this location. (One or more of the item may have been deleted or are no longer available) "

Why I cant view my picture on my iphoto and if I try to copy to any folder it Shows "The item on the clipboard cant be pasted to this location. (One or more of the item may have been deleted or are no longer available) "

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. Describe the problem as fully as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Copy file from local system to Azure VM using powershell

Hi
Is there a simple powershell command to copy a small file from local computer to Azure VM. Point to Site is not an option for me.
I am hoping for something simple like
Copy-Item C:\Wabash\Logfiles\trasfer.txt -Destination C:\Presentation -ConnectionUri $uri -Credential $credential
similar to Invoke-Command
The only other option i have seen is

which i fell for my purpose is over kill.

How can I assign an icon to a folder using Powershell?

How can I assign an icon to a folder using Powershell?

I'm trying to make a script that goes through a folder recursively, checks for every folder if it's name is "template", and if so it changes the icon of that folder to an icon
I chose.
I searched for an answer here, and I've only managed to find a way to assign an icon to a shortcut, but not to an existing file.
Thanks in advance (:

Using a text file to provide paths for copy-item

OK, please don't beat me over the head too much for this. I've been trying various methods all day and nothing seems to be working. I have a text file that has a list of folders (full paths including drive letters). I want to copy all of
the folders and their contents to another path. The destination path does not change (d:\temp\destination) but each of the folders in the text file should end up being subfolders of the destination
Sources:
d:\source1 (has file01.txt, file02.txt)
d:\source2 (has file03.txt, file04.txt)
Destination
d:\temp\destination
Should end up with something like
d:\temp\destination\source1\file01.txt
d:\temp\destination\source1\file02.txt
d:\temp\destination\source2\file03.txt
d:\temp\destination\source2\file04.txt
I've tried
Copy-Item -Path D:\Temp\paths.txt -Destination D:\Temp\attachments -recurse -Force
which just copies the file that contains my paths.
I've tried
foreach($line in (Get-Content -Path D:\Temp\paths.txt)){$dest_folder="D:\Temp\destination" | Copy-Item -path $line -destination $dest_folder -force -recurse}
I get an error that says
Copy-Item : The input object cannot be bound to any parameters for the command either because the command does not take
pipeline input or the input and its properties do not match any of the parameters that take pipeline input.
Would anyone mind helping me out here? If I need to create a file that has the source foldername as well as the destination path, I can do that, I just figured there has to be a way to specify a base directory and let powershell do its thing from there.

try
$SourcesFile = ".\sources.txt"
$Root = "d:\temp\destination"
foreach ($Source in (Get-Content -Path $SourcesFile)) {
$Destination = Join-Path -Path $Root -ChildPath (Split-Path -Path $Source -Leaf)
Copy-Item -Path $Source -Destination $Destination -Recurse -Force

What 'item type' do I use to add action to SCHEDULER CHAIN folder?

I am using SQL Developer version 3.1.06.82
I would like to add a User Defined Extension to a Scheduler CHAIN. I am looking through the Namespace for Version 3.1 at: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/sqldeveloper/3_1/dialogs/index.html. Under the COMMON OBJECT TYPES, I do not see any of the Scheduler items. I was able to use <item type="SCHEDULER"> to add an action to the SCHEDULER folder, but what I really want to do is add an action to a CHAIN.
Does anyone know what type name to use??
Has the Namespace been updated and published somewhere else?
If you have an example, it would be greatly appreciated.

Those COMMON OBJECT TYPES are database schema objects so SCHEDULER or CHAIN would not be in those lists.
Did you try "CHAIN" or "SCHEDULER CHAIN"?
I suggest you change your thread subject to match your question and maybe one of the developer team members will notice it.

HT1751 I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays The item "iTunes" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted.

I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays: The item “iTunes” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.

Close iTunes. Click the icon to start it, then press and hold down the left shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Choose the iTunes folder on your external drive. That should bring back all your playlists, ratings, play counts etc. You may have to settle for removing and reloading the media onto the device again. That's not too bad, but what you don't want to have happen is your apps being removed and reloaded as then you can lose settings and data. If that looks likely backup and then restore the device rather than sync it.
If for some reason rebuilding the library the way you did has moved files around then the restored library may have trouble finding things. If so post back and I'll explain what to do...

Using "PARAMETER.param_name as a "Copy item from value" reference

I a, using forms 9i and I am having a problem using a Parameter as a reference item. The parameter item is there and I am spelling it correctly, i have even cut and pasted the parameter name into the Copy item value. No matter what I do I get the same result.
FRM-30047: Cannot resolve item reference PARAMETER.PROJECT_UID.
Item: PROJECT_UID
Block: GRANT_SUMMARY
Form: GRANTS
FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output.
I have even added a colon to the word PARAMETER but this too fails.
Suggestions please

You have to assign it programatically as 'Copy item from Value' is mainly there to keep the master detail relationships. It actually expects a block item rather than a parameter.
