I would like the output of this powershell to be sent to file, currently it outputs to screen, I have tried adding various pipe to file commands but it populates the file with numbers and the original content from the screen
$strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=Group)(|(groupType=2)(groupType=4)(groupType=8)))"
$objDomain = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry
$objSearcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
$objSearcher.SearchRoot = $objDomain
$objSearcher.PageSize = 1000
$objSearcher.Filter = $strFilter
$objSearcher.SearchScope = "Subtree"
$objSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("cn") | Out-Null
$objSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("member") | Out-Null
$($colResults = $objSearcher.FindAll()
foreach ($objResult in $colResults){
$objItem = $objResult.Properties;
Write-Output $objItem.cn
foreach ($objMember in $objItem.member) {
Write-Output " $objMember"
}
}

I am writing powershell script like below but unable to read a sessionids from the query result then kill all the active sessions.
$queryResults = quser /server:$server; Write-Output "users : $users";
foreach($queryResult in $queryResults){
Write-Output "session ID : $queryResult.sessionid";
}
Any suggestion how to read a session ids from the queryResult then logoff all the sessions.
You need to parse the output of quser (it's not a PS command so the output is a simple string) - I've done it this way so that you receive an object that's more useful:
$server = 'myserver'
# Get list of logged in users
$queryResults = quser /server:$server
# Parse the quser output and store results in a new object. Skip first line as that's just headers.
$UserList = $queryResults | Select-Object -Skip 1 -ErrorAction Stop | ForEach-Object {
# Split up the current line into its elements
$CurrentLine = $_.Trim() -Replace '\s+',' ' -Split '\s'
# Create a new object from all the line elements. If session is disconnected different fields will be selected
If ($CurrentLine[2] -eq 'Disc') {
$SearchResult = [pscustomobject]#{
UserName = $CurrentLine[0];
SessionName = $null;
Id = $CurrentLine[1];
State = $CurrentLine[2];
IdleTime = $CurrentLine[3];
LogonTime = $CurrentLine[4..($CurrentLine.GetUpperBound(0))] -join ' '
}
}
Else {
$SearchResult = [pscustomobject]#{
UserName = $CurrentLine[0];
SessionName = $CurrentLine[1];
Id = $CurrentLine[2];
State = $CurrentLine[3];
IdleTime = $CurrentLine[4];
LogonTime = $CurrentLine[5..($CurrentLine.GetUpperBound(0))] -join ' '
}
}
# Output the custom object (stores it in $UserList)
$SearchResult
}
# Display a list of users/states/Id
$UserList | Select-Object UserName, Id, State, IdleTime
# To logoff everyone, you can just loop through
#$UserList | ForEach-Object {
# logoff $_.Id
#}
# Or you could just logoff the disconnected users:
#$UserList | Where-Object {$_.State -eq 'Disc'} | ForEach-Object {
# logoff $_.Id
#}
So I have a parser that goes through two different logs, both .csv files, and checks for certain lines based off the regex code that I have chosen.
This one grabs the IDNumber from the beginning of the filename(1234-randomfile.csv), then adds the files location to a variable($Validate), then based on the regex, adds files to certain variables($Scriptdone, $Updatedone, $Failed) and starts the checks to see if they have them.
I am trying to make it so that the output is not line for line as the files I parse through have the same IDNumbers. So for example:
Output Currently:
1234 Script Completed
1234 Update Completed
How I want output:
1234 Script Completed Update Completed
Anyways, Thanks for all the assistance!

If you want to append new message to existing output you have to tell PowerShell to which entry it should add new info. As manipulating strings is not very intuitive in my opinion I'd suggest to use an object for that.
First you have to define data structure:
// Before ForEach
$array = #()
$properties = #{'ID'="";
'Results'=""}
// In ForEach
$object = New-Object –TypeName PSObject –Prop $properties
$object.ID = $IDNumber
Next, in your if you can set the value (this can also be done using Switch as suggested by #LotPings but let's leave it as it is for simplicity):
$object.Results = $Done // or $Fail or $Fail2
Then you should first check if the entry with such $ID already exists and if yes, add new result. If no, just add new element to the array. Something like this should work:
$line = $array | Where-Object ID -eq $object.id
if ($line) {
$line.Results += " $($object.Results)"
}
else {
$array += $object
}
Of course this will also require changing the way as you output you data (for example by using Export-Csv):
$array | Export-Csv $CSVPath -Append -NoTypeInformation
I am running a PowerShell script that gets some information from a csv file, stores it in an object array and then does some action depending on what's on the file. It actually only does one thing:
If one column has a AD group it copies the row for every member of that group.
The thing is I am really new at scripting and at the beginning the files were small, so everything went ok. Now I have huge files and the script is taking hours to execute.
$file = "c:\Report.csv"
$fileContent = Import-csv $file | select *, UserName
foreach($item in $fileContent)
{
$LoginName = $item.LoginName
$LoginNameClean = $LoginName.split("\")
$LoginNameClean = $LoginNameClean[1].trimstart("_")
$ObjectClass = (Get-ADObject -filter {SamAccountName -eq $LoginNameClean}).ObjectClass
$UserName = $null
if($ObjectClass -eq "user")
{
$UserName = Get-ADUser -identity $LoginNameClean -properties DisplayName
if($UserName)
{
$item.UserName = $UserName.DisplayName
}
}
elseif($ObjectClass -eq "group")
{
$GroupUsers = Get-ADGroupMember -identity $LoginNameClean -Recursive
foreach($user in $GroupUsers)
{
$UserInsideGroup = Get-ADUser -identity $user -properties DisplayName
$UserInsideGroupName = $UserInsideGroup.DisplayName
$newRow = New-Object PsObject -Property #{"URL" = $item.URL; "SiteListFolderItem" = $item.SiteListFolderItem; "TitleName" = $item.TitleName; "PermissionType" = $item.PermissionType; "LoginName" = $item.LoginName; "Permissions" = $Item.Permissions; "UserName" = $UserInsideGroup.DisplayName;}
$fileContent += $newRow
}
}
}
$fileContent | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Path "c:\ReportUpgraded.csv"
Any tips on how to improve the performance of this is much appreciated
Thanks in advance.
edit: I am using PS 2.0
As commentaries suggested, I am trying to replace the fileContent += newRow.
I am trying to use add member but it's giving me this error:
Add-Member : Cannot add a member with the name "URL" because a member
with that name already exists. If you wan t to overwrite the member
anyway, use the Force parameter to overwrite it. At line:1 char:26
+ $fileContent | Add-Member <<<< -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "URL"-Value "teste"
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (#{SiteListFolde...me=; URL=teste}:PSObject) [Add-Member], Inv
alidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MemberAlreadyExists,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.AddMemberCommand
How I can I use this properly? Add-member is not adding but replacing members
I manage to reduce 30 times the execution time with a couple of things.
First, I switched array to a array list so that I could use theArray.Add() method. Then, in order to stop making requests to the AD all the time, I am saving the information in excel sheets with the name of the group, so that it will only request AD once per group.
Here is the script:
$file = "ReportBefore.csv"
$fileContent = Import-csv $file | select *, UserName
[System.Collections.ArrayList]$ArrayList = $fileContent
foreach($item in $fileContent)
{
$LoginName = $item.LoginName
$LoginNameClean = $LoginName.split("\")
$LoginNameClean = $LoginNameClean[1].trimstart("_")
$ObjectClass = (Get-ADObject -filter {SamAccountName -eq $LoginNameClean}).ObjectClass
$UserName = $null
if($ObjectClass -eq "user")
{
$UserName = Get-ADUser -identity $LoginNameClean -properties DisplayName
if($UserName)
{
$item.UserName = $UserName.DisplayName
}
}
elseif($ObjectClass -eq "group")
{
$exportString = "\\folder\username$\Desktop\ADGroups\" + $LoginNameClean + ".csv"
if([System.IO.File]::Exists($exportString))
{
$GroupUsers = Import-csv $exportString | select *
}
else
{
$GroupUsers = Get-ADGroupMember -identity $LoginNameClean -Recursive | Select samAccountName,Name, #{Name="DisplayName";Expression={(Get-ADUser $_.distinguishedName -Properties Displayname).Displayname}}
$GroupUsers | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Path $exportString
}
foreach($user in $GroupUsers)
{
$UserInsideGroupName = $user.DisplayName
$newRow = New-Object PsObject -Property #{"URL" = $item.URL; "SiteListFolderItem" = $item.SiteListFolderItem; "TitleName" = $item.TitleName; "PermissionType" = $item.PermissionType; "LoginName" = $item.LoginName; "Permissions" = $Item.Permissions; "UserName" = $UserInsideGroupName;}
#$filecontent += $newRow
$ArrayList.Add($newRow)
}
}
}
$ArrayList | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Path "\ReportAfter.csv"
I have been trying to create an output file that writes multiple execute scripts taking a certain parameter from an array list. So far I am getting jumbled duplicated output. How can I get one execute command on each line? Here's what I have.
$myArray = #(1,2,3)
foreach ($element in $myArray) {
$myobj = "EXECUTE [masterdb].[dbo].[update_rows] #row_num=" +"'"+$element+"'"+","+ "#status = 'Fail'"
$myprocedure += $myobj
$myobj = $null
}
Out-file -filepath $path -inputobject $myprocedure -width 50 -force
$myprocedure is never initialized as an array, so it becomes a string that you simply add more text to. Either you need to add a linebreak at end of the execute lines:
$myobj = "EXECUTE [masterdb].[dbo].[update_rows] #row_num=" +"'"+$element+"'"+","+ "#status = 'Fail'" + [System.Environment]::NewLine
Or create an empty array called $myprocedure first:
$myArray = #(1,2,3)
$myprocedure = #()
$path = "test.txt"
foreach ($element in $myArray) {
$myobj = "EXECUTE [masterdb].[dbo].[update_rows] #row_num=" +"'"+$element+"'"+","+ "#status = 'Fail'"
$myprocedure += $myobj
$myobj = $null
}
Out-file -filepath $path -inputobject $myprocedure -width 50 -force
Or append 3 times to the file:
$myArray = #(1,2,3)
$path = "test.txt"
#remove-item $path if necessary
foreach ($element in $myArray) {
"EXECUTE [masterdb].[dbo].[update_rows] #row_num=" +"'"+$element+"'"+","+ "#status = 'Fail'" | Out-file -filepath $path -width 50 -force -Append
}
I need to find the most recent file in a folder/dir and send that file as an attachment in a email, so far i have this code that find the most recent file in my windows SO, but i need to specify a route a find the most recent file there and then send that file in a email so far i have this:
EDIT 1:
So far i have this:
This part gives me the last file created in a dir/folder:
$dir = "D:\Users\myUser\Desktop\dirTest"
$latest = Get-ChildItem -Path $dir | Sort-Object LastAccessTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
$latest.Fullname
$attachment = $latest.Fullname
And this send the email (i'm using yahoo accounts):
$emailSmtpServer = "smtp.mail.yahoo.com"
$emailSmtpServerPort = "587"
$emailSmtpUser = "yahooAccountThatSendsTheEmail#yahoo.com"
$emailSmtpPass = "passForThisquestion"
$emailMessage = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$emailMessage.From = "yahooAccountThatSendsTheEmail#yahoo.com"
$emailMessage.To.Add( "yahooAccountThatRECIEVESTheEmail#yahoo.com" )
$emailMessage.Subject = "Testing e-mail"
$emailMessage.Body = "email from power shell"
$emailMessage.Attachments.Add( $attachment ) <---- this part gives me problems
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($emailSmtpServer, $emailSmtpServerPort)
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($emailSmtpUser, $emailSmtpPass);
$SMTPClient.Send($emailMessage)
It works now, this is my final script.
This script search the most recent file created in a Dir and it sends that file created to a email account.
Here is my script it works for me but it takes a few minutes to send the email, thanks for the help
This script do what i wanted, it find the most recent file and send tha file in a email.
$dir = "d:\Users\myUser\Desktop\testDir"
$latest = Get-ChildItem -Path $dir | Sort-Object LastAccessTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
$latest.Fullname
$attachment = $latest.Fullname
$emailSmtpServer = "smtp.mail.yahoo.com"
$emailSmtpServerPort = "587"
$emailSmtpUser = "test_sender_mail_account#yahoo.com"
$emailSmtpPass = "MyPassword"
$emailMessage = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$emailMessage.From = "test_sender_mail_account#yahoo.com"
$emailMessage.To.Add( "test_receiver_mail_account#gmail.com" )
$emailMessage.Subject = "My Subject"
$emailMessage.Body = "My body message"
$emailMessage.Attachments.Add($attachment)
$SMTPClient = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($emailSmtpServer, $emailSmtpServerPort)
$SMTPClient.EnableSsl = $true
$SMTPClient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($emailSmtpUser, $emailSmtpPass);
$SMTPClient.Send($emailMessage)
With PowerShell, something like this should do alright:
function Send-RecentFile {
param(
[ValidateScript({Test-Path $_ })]
[String] $Path
)
$file = Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -File | Sort CreationTime | Select -Last 1
Write-Output "The most recently created file is $($file.Name)"
$messageParameters = #{
From = "myaccount#mydomain.com"
To = "destinationAccount#theirdomain.com"
Subject = "title"
Body = "message body"
SMTPServer = "mail.mydomain.com"
Attachments = $file.FullName
}
Send-MailMessage #messageParameters -Credential (Get-Credential "peopleo#anotherDomain.com")
}
If you do want to store the credentials in the file, you might have to do something slightly different with it.
Please check this powershell command.
$Body = “get the information here to show the data with attachement”
$dir = "Path\of\the\folder(C:\..\..)"
$latest = Get-ChildItem -Path $dir | Sort-Object LastAccessTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
