The organization currently uses a Perl-based web page (running on a Unix host) to manage a lot of the onboarding and administrative tasks (a lot more than just email). I'd like to replace the current module they're using in Perl to manage email with one that will use PowerShell, since Exchange 2007 is so PowerShell-capable... 5 07.06.2007 16:52:56 Powershell script files I'm having problems understanding how Powershell deals with script inside a .ps1 file. It appears there are at least 3 "script blocks" (begin, process and end) but the use of these isn't clear. It would also seem desirable to use a function or method in a pipeline (or maybe locally defined cmdlets). I have been able to use functions in a procedural manner but it's not obvious how to exte... 2 07.06.2007 15:20:51 TechEd 2006 Barcelona video with myspace.com Seems to me there was an online video from TechEd last year (the week PowerShell was releasted) done perhaps by Jeffrey Snover and someone from myspace.com.

The following: gwmi -name "root/wmi" MSNDis_80211_BSSIList | % {$_.Ndis80211BSSIList} doesn't list a set of 'BSSIList object, but rather the obscure 'format-default : Exception retrieving members: "Not found "' I'm guessing that my powershell just doesn't know how to deal with whatever WMI is returning. It looks l... 5 06.06.2007 21:31:03 PowerPad Here is an app I posted for the psh community.

Depending on which host I'm in, the scripts can be in different drives or directories. I typically have a variable setup, ie, $dir = "c:\scripts" Then when I try to execute a script, I would like to do: $dir\test.ps1 but I get an error: [C:\scripts]: $dir\test.ps1 Unexpected token '\test.ps1' in expression or statement. ... 7 06.06.2007 17:47:20 OnExit handler for PowerShell Console Is there a way to have a function or a command be executed when the PowerShell console exits? ... 2 06.06.2007 17:42:43 New-object preventing process from exiting We have a C++ application that has an automation object model. In PowerShell we create a new instance of the object model via New-Object. Everything works as expected in terms of calls to the created object. Problems arise if the user closes the application first, then closes PowerShell. The process of the application will not have exited, as seen by Task Manager. If PowerShell is e... 1 06.06.2007 17:25:00 sorting question Hello: I'm new to powershell, but am finding it to be pretty great. However, I'm having some problems with the sort command.

When I run the following: "get-childitem | tee-object -variable $x | where-object {$_.length -gt 30}" I get the following error: "Tee-Object : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Variable' because it is null."

Doesn't this mean that all domain systems have the root certificate automatically installed on them? That said, I'd like to sign my scripts, somehow, with this script.

Hello: When you connect to a remote computer with WMI by specifying a ManagementScope, does it force the connection to become asynchronous? The following code never gets past $EventWatcher.WaitForNextEvent(). It's my understanding that PowerShell doesn't yet have built-in support for async WMI, but nothing in the SDK that I could find indicates that the following forces the connecti... 3 03.06.2007 03:32:09 22 Pages: 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12  13  14  15  16  17  18  19  20  21  22
