I'm trying to create DataTable and DataColumn objects in powershell.
I added this in the beggining of my script
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Data
But when I try to call this part of code
$DataTable = New-Object -TypeName DataTable $TableName
I got an error
New-Object : Cannot find type [DataTable]: verify that the assembly
containing this type is loaded.
What can be the problem? Thanks for any help.
You probably need to do this:
$DataTable = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.DataTable $TableName
You missed a part of the namespace. Should be like this:
$table = New-Object Data.DataTable('TableName')
$table.Columns.Add('Column1') | Out-Null
Or:
$table = New-Object -TypeName 'Data.DataTable' -ArgumentList 'TableName'
Or:
$table = New-Object -TypeName 'System.Data.DataTable' -ArgumentList 'TableName'
Or:
$table = [Data.DataTable]'TableName'
The first "System" word from full namespace can be always ommited in PowerShell.

})
$form.Controls.Add($label)
$form.Controls.Add($display_button)

Upon running the script I receive the following error:
"Error opening the file"
I am not sure if the path is correct, can someone point out what I'm doing wrong?
Before opening regedit.exe, perform the following:
Set-ItemProperty 'HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit' 'LastKey' 'Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList'
or
$splat = #{
'Path' = 'HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit'
'Name' = 'LastKey'
'Value' = 'Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList'
}
Set-ItemProperty #splat
and edit your button click actdion to simply:
$display_button.Add_Click({
regedit
})
i imported from file IDs and base on this ID i am trying to get information from AD...and insert this information as columns in original file...this is the code:
$import = Import-Csv C:\Temp\coputerstatus.csv
Foreach ($item in $import) {
$user = Get-ADUSer -Identity $item.ID
#$item = New-Object psobject
$item | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "office" -Value $user.office
$item | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "title" -Value $user.title
$item | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "displayname" -Value $user.name
} #foreach
$import | Export-Csv C:\temp\my.csv
but it is no working very well..i success to insert the headers but the value is empty(,,,)
i would like to same help
thanks
Get-ADUser and other active directory cmdlets operate a little funny. When you ask for an ADUser object Get-ADuser only returns a small subset of the properties available. Office and title are not available in this default set. To get what you want add the -Property parameter to Get-ADUser and ask for title and office in addition to the defaults it normally returns
$user = Get-ADUSer -Identity $item.ID -Property Title, Office
if you want to retrieve all possible properties use an asterisk
$user = Get-ADUSer -Identity $item.ID -Property *
It actually sounds like you may not be getting any user object back from Get-ADUser. Have a look at what is in the ID column in your csv files. Manually check what you are getting back from the import-csv command
$import = Import-Csv C:\Temp\coputerstatus.csv
$import | gm
Make sure that you have an ID property in that list. If so go ahead and check if your objects have ID values that you expect
$import.ID
If everything looks fine there try taking one of those IDs and manually running the Get-ADuser command replacing $item.ID with one of the actual IDs.
Get-ADUSer -Identity TESTID -Property Title, Office
Do you get anything back?
Two ways...you can use splatting to dump all of the properties into the CSV for each like this...
$import = Import-Csv C:\Temp\coputerstatus.csv
$myUsers = #()
Foreach ($item in $import) {
$user = Get-ADUSer -Identity $item.ID -Properties *
[pscustomobject]$MyItem = #{
"userProps" = $user
}
$myUsers += $MyItem.Values
} #foreach
$myUsers | Export-Csv 'C:\temp\my.csv' -NoTypeInformation
Or you can select specific properties that you care about, like this...
$import = Import-Csv C:\Temp\coputerstatus.csv
$myUsers = #()
Foreach ($item in $import) {
$user = Get-ADUSer -Identity $item.ID -Properties *
[pscustomobject]$MyItem = #{
"DisplayName" = $user.Name
"Office" = $user.office
"Title" = $user.title
}
$myUsers += $MyItem.Values
} #foreach
$myUsers | Export-Csv 'C:\temp\my.csv' -NoTypeInformation
I have written a ps script which do the the job when i execute it from ISE but when i save it and run it from CMD i have an error,
basicly i have made gui with list of OU and list of GPO and i wanted to make a link and unlink button (eg OU named blabla and GPO named GPOblabla so if i check them both and press link the code would link and unlink would unlink)
the problem is (with my understanding) with the button2 (unlink) function which is defined at the beginning of the code, and in that function im using command that use parameters later in the code, i guess ISE save it in memory? whats the best thing to do here?
here is the code:
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing
$button2_click = {
try {Remove-GPLink -Name $GPO -target $OU}
catch {
Write-Warning $Error[0]
} $form.close() }
$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$form.Text = 'GPO Connector V1.0'
$form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(600,200)
$form.StartPosition = 'CenterScreen'
$button1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$button1.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(10,120)
$button1.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(75,23)
$button1.Text = 'Link'
$button1.DialogResult = [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK
$form.AcceptButton = $button1
$button2 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$button2.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(90,120)
$button2.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(75,23)
$button2.Text = 'UnLink'
$Button2.Add_Click($Button2_Click)
$label = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$label.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(80,20)
$label.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(480,20)
$label.Text = 'SELECT GPO And Corresponding OU (ONLY WORKSTATION OU)'
$form.Controls.Add($label)
$form.Controls.Add($button1)
$form.Controls.Add($button2)
$listBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ListBox
$listBox.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(10,40)
$listBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(260,20)
$listBox.Height = 80
$listBox2 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ListBox
$listBox2.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(300,40)
$listBox2.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(260,20)
$listBox2.Height = 80
#gpolist.txt holding the gpo's and oulist.txt would hold the ou's
Get-Content .\gpolist.txt | ?{$_ -notmatch "^#"} | Where-Object { $_.Trim() -ne '' } | ForEach-Object {
[void] $listBox.Items.Add("$_")}
Get-Content .\oulist.txt | ?{$_ -notmatch "^#"} | Where-Object { $_.Trim() -ne '' } | ForEach-Object {
[void] $listBox2.Items.Add("$_")}
$form.Controls.Add($listBox)
$form.Controls.Add($listBox2)
$form.Topmost = $true
$result = $form.ShowDialog()
if ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::Cancel)
{ break }
if ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK)
{
$GPO = $listBox.SelectedItem
$OU = $listBox2.SelectedItem }
New-GPLink $GPO -target $OU | out-null }
You're not setting variables $GPO and $OU until after showing the dialog, so these variables won't be defined in your $button2_click script block, so the Remove-GPLink call won't work as expected.
One way to solve the problem is to refer to both $listBox.SelectedItem and $listBox2.SelectedItem directly:
$button2_click = {
try {
Remove-GPLink -Name $listBox.SelectedItem -target $listBox2.SelectedItem
}
catch {
Write-Warning $Error[0]
}
$form.close()
}
Note that if you were to define variables $GPO and $OU inside that script block, you'd have to define them as $script:GPO = ... and script:$OU = ... if you wanted to also access them after closing the dialog.
As for why things worked in the ISE:
The ISE dot-sources your scripts when it runs them, and with repeated invocations variables may linger and affect subsequent runs.
The implication is that you had run at least once with the code path $GPO = $listBox.SelectedItem and $OU = $listBox2.SelectedItem getting hit, which would have made clicking on button 2 in subsequent runs "work".
I'm having trouble clearing a listbox that I created in my PowerShell form. If I call the listbox.Item.Clear method, the data stored in the listbox object is cleared but the items displayed in the from remain. Even after I try to create a new, blank listbox, the old items are still displayed. The listbox is created in a function that is called by a button click. I want the listbox to be cleared and repopulated each time the button is clicked. I can easily clear and re-add text to a text box by doing something like $textbox.Text = "new text". Is there a way to do this with a listbox? Here's what I have:
function AddMembers() {
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing
$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form

$form.StartPosition = 'CenterScreen'
# Create the TextBox used to capture the user's text.
$textBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Textbox
$textBox.Location = '10,40'
$textBox.Size = '375,170'
$textBox.AcceptsReturn = $true
$textBox.Multiline = $true
#$textBox.Text = $UserInputData
$form.Controls.Add($textBox)
function Global:GetTheSearchString() {
# If any text is present in the text box, convert it to a sting, parse, then conver to array $Global:UserInput2
$UserInput = $textBox.ToString()
$UserInput = $UserInput -replace "System.Windows.Forms.TextBox, Text: "
$Global:UserInput2 = $UserInput -split "`r`n"
Write-Host $Global:UserInput2
$InputLength = $UserInput2.Length
Write-Host $InputLength
$Global:lastLine = $UserInput2[$InputLength -1]
Write-Host "$Global:lastLine lastLine"
#return $Global:lastLine
}
# Take an input string, search AD, and return the results as an array.
function Global:SearchAD($SearchString) {
$Groups = Get-ADObject -LDAPFilter "(cn=$SearchString*)" | select Name | Out-String
$Groups = $Groups -replace "Name"
$Groups = $Groups -replace "----"
$Groups = $Groups.Trim()
$GroupsArray = $Groups -split "`r`n"
#Write-Host $GroupsArray
return $GroupsArray
}
# Create the list box for displaying search results
function CreateListBoxResults($searchResults, $param) {
$listBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ListBox
#$form.Controls.Add($listBox)
#$listBox.Items.Clear()
#$listBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ListBox
$listBox.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(10,225)
$listBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(375,20)
$listBox.Height = 150
# Add values to the list box
foreach ($line in $searchResults) {
[void] $listBox.Items.Add($line)
Write-Host $line
}
#$listBox.Refresh()
$form.Controls.Add($listBox)
Write-Host "$param param"
#Write-Host "$listBox listbox"
$form.Controls.Add($listBox)
if ($param -eq $true) {
Write-Host "$param param"
$listBox.Dispose()
$listBox.Items.Clear()
$form.Controls.Add($listBox)
}
}
#$selectButton.Add_Click({ [string]$selection = $listBox.SelectedItem.ToString(); Write-Host $selection; Global:ResetSearchBox($selection)})
#$selectButton.Add_Click({ Write-Host $Global:listBox; $click = $true; $Global:listBox.Items.Clear(); $form.Controls.Remove($Global:listBox); $form.Controls.Add($Global:listBox)})
Write-Host $UserInput2
$checkButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$checkButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(9,380)
$checkButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(85,23)
$checkButton.Text = 'Check Name'
$form.Controls.Add($checkButton)
$checkButton.Add_Click({ Global:GetTheSearchString; Write-Host "$Global:lastLine check"; CreateListBoxResults (Global:SearchAD($Global:lastLine)) $false })

For clearing the listbox you are right in using listbox.Item.Clear().
However there are some other usefull methods:
$listBox.Dispose()
The Dispose method leaves the Component in an unusable state. (You might not want this one.)
$form.Controls.Remove($listBox)
Remove your listbox from the form instead of deleting the object.
$listBox.Visible = $false (or $true)
Hide your listbox instead of removing it
$listBox.Items.Clear()
$listBox.Items.AddRange(*SomeArrayHere*)
The closest you can get to $textbox.text = "NewText"
Using some of these your function could look something like this:
function CreateListBoxResults($searchResults, $param) {
# Only create a listbox if it doesn't exist
if (!$listBox) {
$listBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ListBox
$listBox.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(10,225)
$listBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(375,20)
$listBox.Height = 150
}
# Add listbox to form
$form.Controls.Add($listBox)
# Add values to the list box
$listBox.Items.Clear()
foreach ($line in $searchResults) {
[void] $listBox.Items.Add($line)
Write-Host $line
}
# Remove listbox from form if $param = $true
Write-Host "$param param"
if ($param -eq $true) {
Write-Host "$param param"
$form.Controls.Remove($listBox)
}
}
I have a list of users in a CSV File that I want to find out if/when they last logged in. I can get this info for an individual account but I need to write this to a file for several accounts.
