Using powershell to script quality assurance process

Hi,
I am new to powershell and using powershell 3.
I have been asked to write a powershell script that would be able to perform a quality assurance test on newly built servers. Mainly looking for a script that would give certification/authentication successes/failures and verify if configuration settings
were still correct.
(Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008 R2) no idea on how to do this, I'm still in the learning phase.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Using Powershell Script Run simple query in MS Access 2007 and export the results of query to Excel

Hi Experts,
I have a Access 2007 DB file and 2 Big tables inside that (bigger than the size that can be easily handled by MS Excel 2007).
My requirement is automate using powershell scripts the below things.
1. Create a SQL query in Access DB and save that in access DB
2. Run the saved query and export the result in excel sheet where I can create the charts and Pivots. Thanks in advance
Prajesh

Do you have to use the Access query, couldn't you just recreate the query in Powershell? Here's a link with good info that references an existing script for querying an Access database:

Not certain this is what you're after, but this :
#import the contents of both csv files
$dbexcel=import-csv c:\dbexcel.csv
$liveexcel=import-csv C:\liveexcel.csv
#prepare the output csv and create the headers
$outputexcel="c:\outputexcel.csv"
$outputline="Name,Connection Status,Version,DbExcel,LiveExcel"
$outputline | out-file $outputexcel
#Loop through each record based on the number of records (assuming equal number in both files)
for ($i=0; $i -le $dbexcel.Length-1;$i++)
# Assign the yes / null values to equal the word equivalent
if ($dbexcel.isavail[$i] -eq "yes") {$dbavail="Available"} else {$dbavail="Unavailable"}
if ($liveexcel.isavail[$i] -eq "yes") {$liveavail="Available"} else {$liveavail="Unavailable"}
#create the live of csv content from the two input csv files
$outputline=$dbexcel.name[$i] + "," + $liveexcel.'connection status'[$i] + "," + $dbexcel.version[$i] + "," + $dbavail + "," + $liveavail
#output that line to the csv file
$outputline | out-file $outputexcel -Append
should do what you're looking for, or give you enough to edit it to your exact need.
I've assumed that the dbexcel.csv and liveexcel.csv files live in the root of c:\ for this, that they include the header information, and that the outputexcel.csv file will be saved to the same place (including headers).

Set Default Printer based on user setting using Powershell script

Hi
I would like to create a script that runs on user log off and captures the default printer (set manually by the user) and then another script to reapply the settings (saved upon log off) when the user logs back in.
This is because local printers are set as default printer (PDF Creator Programs) when we all use Network Printers so this means a user has to set default printer to the network printer all the time.
I have found this script to start with:
$Printer = Get-WmiObject -namespace root\cimv2 -Query “select * from Win32_Printer Where Default = TRUE” -Impersonation 3 | select name | out-file C:\temp\Printer.txt
But the out file looks like this:
name
\\PrinterserverName\Accounts01
Which I dont see how it can be used on another script plus there are spaces after\Account01
Any Ideas please?
M
Maelito

Hi Maelito,
According to your description, you want to export the default printer name to text file, then read this printer name from text file and set the default printer via Powershell:
#save printer name to text file
Get-WmiObject -namespace root\cimv2 -Query “select * from Win32_Printer Where Default = TRUE” -Impersonation 3 | select -ExpandProperty name | out-file C:\temp\Printer.txt
# read printer name from text file and set default printer
$name=get-content C:\temp\Printer.txt
(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Printer -Filter "Name='$name'").SetDefaultPrinter()
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Is it possible to monitor State change of a .CSV file using powershell scripting ?

Hi All,
I just would like to know Is it possible to monitor State change of a .CSV file using powershell scripting ? We have SCOM tool which has that capability but there are some drawbacks in that for which we are not able to utilise that. So i would like
to know is this possible using powershell.
So if there is any number above 303 in the .CSV file then i need a email alert / notification for the same.
Gautam.75801

Hi Jrv,
Thank you very much. I modified the above and it worked.
Import-Csv C:\SCOM_Tasks\GCC2010Capacitymanagement\CapacityMgntData.csv | ?{$_.Mailboxes -gt 303} | Export-csv -path C:\SCOM_Tasks\Mbx_Above303.csv;
Send-MailMessage -Attachments "C:\SCOM_Tasks\Mbx_Above303.csv" -To “[email protected]" -From “abc@xyz" -SMTPServer [email protected] -Subject “Mailboxex are above 303 in Exchange databases” -Body “Mailboxex are above 303 in Exchange databases"
Mailboxex - is the line which i want to monitor if the values there are above 303. And it will extract the lines with all above 303 to another CSV file and 2nd is a mail script to email me the same with the attachment of the 2nd extract.

Scripting the capture process in Vivado 2015.1 ILA using the tcl

Hello,
I'm wondering how can I use the TCL script in order to automate the capturing process.
The way that it works so far is that I have to change the condition manually through the GUI, start trigrring, waiting for it to upload the waveform (I really would like to bypass this step!) and then downloading the captured data in .csv file. I've tried the attached script to automate two captures, it didn't work though :( I got same results for test0.csv and test1.csv
any ideas?!
set_property TRIGGER_COMPARE_VALUE eq5'u1 [get_hw_probes state_reg__0 -of_objects [get_hw_ilas hw_ila_1]]
wait_on_hw_ila hw_ila_1
run_hw_ila hw_ila_1
wait_on_hw_ila hw_ila_1
write_hw_ila_data -csv_file d:/pss/test0.csv [current_hw_ila_data]
set_property TRIGGER_COMPARE_VALUE eq5'u10 [get_hw_probes state_reg__0 -of_objects [get_hw_ilas hw_ila_1]]
wait_on_hw_ila hw_ila_1
run_hw_ila hw_ila_1
wait_on_hw_ila -timeout 0 hw_ila_1
write_hw_ila_data -csv_file d:/pss/test1.csv [current_hw_ila_data]

Hello Pratham,
I have tried that before. it works perfectly saving one shot of the ILA. However if you just copy and past, it will fail for the 2nd captured data. (it will save the same thing).
What I'm particularly looking is saving more than one sample, let's say I would like to automate for 1000 captures.
The problem that I've encountered follows as this:
When you try to capture more than one sample, it doesn't stop the trigger and when it does it will save the same thing. in order to stop it it needs to upload the waveform (which is really time consuming and I don't need the tool to upload it in order to captuer the .csv data!) so it will slow down the capturing process.
In ChipScope it was very easy to do that! there was an option called repetitive trigger on. and it was easily capturing down repeatedly with log1, log2, ... and so forth. I'm looking for that!

How can I use PowerShell 3.0 cmdlets or script to list all the local groups and local users of a server?

Using PowerShell 3.0 (And if possible the CIM, not WMI cmdlet), how can I script with | out-file C:\<filename>.txt or .csv option to list all local user accounts & local groups
on remote computers?
Thank You!

I don't recall PowerShell V3 introducing anything new to handle local users and groups. You need to use PowerShell V1 methods, using the [ADSI] accelerator and the WinNT: provider. The scripts linked above show this. No need to use WMI (which would probably
be slower).
Here is a script I've used to enumerate all local groups and their members:
$Computer
= "MyServer"
$Computer =
[ADSI]"WinNT://$Computer"
$Groups =
$Computer.psbase.Children | Where {$_.psbase.schemaClassName
-eq "group"}
ForEach ($Group
In $Groups)
    "Group: "
+ $Group.Name
    $Members
= @($Group.psbase.Invoke("Members"))
    ForEach ($Member
In $Members)
        $Class
= $Member.GetType().InvokeMember("Class",
'GetProperty', $Null,
$Member, $Null)
        $Name
= $Member.GetType().InvokeMember("Name",
'GetProperty', $Null,
$Member, $Null)
        "-- Member: $Name ($Class)"
A similar script to enumerate all local users would be:
$Computer
= "MyServer"
$Computer =
[ADSI]"WinNT://$Computer"
$Users =
$Computer.psbase.Children | Where {$_.psbase.schemaClassName
-eq "user"}
ForEach ($User
In $Users)
    "User: "
+ $User.Name

How can i deploy sandboxed solution .wsp file to sharepoint 2013 online using powershell script?

Is there any way to deploy the Sandbox solution .wsp file to sharepoint 2013 online publishing site using powershell or CSOM or any other way?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to deploy sandboxed solution .wsp file to sharepoint 2013 online.
"Add-SPSolution" command is not available in SharePoint Online management shell. So, we cannot use PowerShell to update and deploy a solution in SharePoint Online environment. Meanwhile, here is index of Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Online
cmdlets for your reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161364.aspx
You can CSOM to deploy solution using helper class from CodePlex. The activation code is as follows: SandboxSolutions.ActivateSolution(siteCollectionURl, cookies, "solution_name.wsp");
About the Client Side Object Model (CSOM), it is a development related issue, we have a specific support channel for the SharePoint developers, so I recommend you go to our MSDN forum for further assistance.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/156/t/197404.aspx
In addition, if you would like to upload and activate sandbox solution manually, you can refer to:
