Execute Remote Powershell Commands Using C#?
Feb 25, 2012
I'm evaluating the best approach to implement the following periodic task:
Get some users from SQL Server (2008) and then for each user enable licences in the Cloud (Office 365) using PowerShell.
My first thought was a console-based app in C# or VB.net but now that I realize that running a PS Script remotely using C# can be quite a challenge I'm starting to think in alternatives like perform all the stuff using PowerShell, I guess this is a better approach but I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

catch statements - it works well just checking my disk drive for a file, if an error is thrown then I open the disk tray and ask them to put the disk in, click OK on the message box and it performs another check for the file, if this fails the button that starts all this is disabled on my main form (the code is shown below).
Okay, so my problem is I'd like to have the message box pop up and the have the drive open up (using an API which I have) either at the same time or in the order of: message box then drive open. I can see two ways to do this: Have the commands happen at the same time (Can you even do this?) OR Have the message box appear and then open the disk drive (but how I could achieve this I don't know as the message box waits for the user to click OK... I originally though of starting a timer just before and getting it to open the disk drive tray in the tick event,
Code:
Public Class Form1
'open cd-rom tray API
Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstrCommand As String, ByVal _

I am working on a "de-bugging" back-end sorta thingy for my program, and I have a "dll" that executes most of the work for the program. For the ease of tech-support, I plan on trying to impliment a hidden back-door into the engine that is password protected and activated by a key-press. What I want to do is:when the enter key is pressed, have the dll run the sub that is listed in the enter key, for example:
In the dll:
Public Sub msg(ByVal text as string)
MsgBox(text)

I'm implementing an application using vb.net 2005 with oracle 10g and I came across a functionality that should Select/Insert/Update/Delete data from three different tables in oracle.So I`m wondering if there is a way to prepare all the 3 commands (SQL Statements) separately and then execute them in one shot to the oracle, so in this way I can guarantee that all of them are successfully executed or all are failed to execute, and also I could gain more performance which is critical in my case.Thus I`m looking for a syntax in vb.net that helps me execute more than one OracleCommand in one shot to the oracle.

I have a working code snippet that I use to Execute processes on remote machines. This works great against my Windows 2008 machine but I get an access denied when executing against my Windows 2003. The access denied is thrown when connecting the scope in the code below. I believe I have give this user all kind of rights but some setting is missing. What settings are required? This is a local admin. Is there any special DCOM settings or?

Dim scope As ManagementScope = Nothing
Dim Path As String = CType(IIf(strHostName.ToUpper() = Environment.MachineName.ToUpper(), _

If I use it, it works since I'm an admin but if someone else use it, I got "The system cannot find the file specified."Is there any other program I can use that can impersonate, I've already tried xcmd.exe but it doesm't work either.

I was recently assigned to do some research on how to approach a project. Right now we have an old program written in tcl. From this tcl program ( running on VMS client computer), we are able to run unix commands to execute processes on a unix server. This is done via tcpip. Now, we are thinking of making upgrades to this system . We are wondering if this kind of thing was possible with Visual Basic. Are we able to run a VB program on windows computer to run UNIX commands on a server? If so, what issues might be brought up. If anyone has even the briefest guideline or tip on this,

Im trying to create an app that will do some funky things with new users/leaving users and apply a load of business requirements around this. After playing about with Powershell forms, ive decided to embedd powershell within a VB.net app.I am using the following code, which is always returning "Nothing", as in no result, which is causing me a real headache. The same code works with Get-QADuser, and Get-Command, just not Get-Mailbox.I will also need to call New-Mailbox and othe commands later on in the proces.

I need to call Powershell commands via my code and I find at least 2 different examples of doing this. I'm wondering what the differences between the methods are and why I would use one as opposed to the other.The first (simpler?) method goes something like this:
[code]...
I also know that with either method I can pipe the command to out-string to make Powershell return strings instead of objects.My question is, which method should I use and why? They both seem the same to me.

I have a file full of last-names separated by commas and then first-names.
Smith,Bob
Chicken,Ronald
Car,Anastasia
Code:
gc permissions.csv|% {$_.split(",")[0]}
I'd like to grab the first character of the first name and then pre-pend it to the string of the last name. The general idea is to find the user ID that's stored in Active Directory, in my company it's the first letter of the first name and then the last name.
Then I'm trying to add these users as read-only on a specific directory.

I took the dive into learning VBScript due to some server side scripts that I work with. During a course I ran into Powershell and did some Google searching. From what I was reading, VBScript is good for legacy applications and Powershell is the way to go for Win7. I did not run into anything telling me of this being true or if its a false statement and VBScript will be used for Win7 and Win8. Should I look into learning Powershell and abort my VBScript for now and just worry about VBScript for legacy systems?
