Manipulating Windows ACL With PowerShell?
Dec 12, 2011
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.

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 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?

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.

We use VB2005, Along with Powershell to manage our exchange infrastructure. VB.Net codes have been compiled to support MIIS2003 Operations. One of the operations require the functions in VB.net to write an output into .csv file. This file receives jibberish characters as input after the functions are executed.

I have to call PS commands from a VB.NET program. This works fine if I'm calling standard PS commands, but if I have to call a command that lives in a 3rd party module I can't seem to make it work. At the PS console I can type Import-Module MyModule and then I can call the commands in that module. I tried the following but it doesn't work, I still can't access my command from within the module:
Dim PowerShell As Management.Automation.PowerShell = PowerShell.Create()
Dim PowerShellCommand As New PSCommand()
Dim PowerShellCommandResults As Object

I have a Powershell script and no matter what I try it completly ignores any quotation marks in the script. The error occurs when I run the script from my VB.NET code yet, I have been running scripts sucessfully through VB.NET for a while now. For example, my script starts with finding out the server name...

I currently have an ASP.NET programming creating a Powershell CmdLet to create a mailbox in exchange. The issue I'm having is sometimes is fails to create the mailbox because "it can't find" the exchange database I am specifying. So what I'm trying to do is run a Get-Mailbox and then pipe the results to an Enable-Mailbox command. Below is the code I am using to do it:

I'm currently having issues calling a .ps1 file in my vb.net project. The program is supposed to provide a simple way for end users to unlock Active Directory accounts. The vb.net project is simply a text box with a button. Users will type the username of the locked account. When the button is pressed, the program writes whatever is in the text box into a CSV file. The CSV file has a samAccountName column in it. After the file is written to, the program then calls a Powershell script that reads the CSV file and unlocks the account based upon what is in the file.The program does everything it is supposed to except for calling the Powershell script to actually unlock the account. I've tried a Process.Start(filePath) which would open the file, but opened in notepad and didn't execute anything. Right now the program is calling a batch file which is supposed to run the script in Powershell but that attempt also failed.

I'd like to start off by saying I'm not really a programmer just a sysadmin who likes to dabble (so simple answers would be nice ;) ),I've created a webapp that's used by some less technical folk to do basic administration tasks(User provisioning through our IDM, Updating passwords, Disabling accounts, Editing user details, etc)there's also a couple of exchange functions that are currently handled by exporting a CSV that a separate powershell script processes.I'm trying to bring these powershell functions into the application to reduce complexity but I'm having some trouble.
When I execute the "Add-MailboxPermission" command I get no return output (nor does it apply the change) at all, unless I put no parameters,in which case it throws the expected missing parameters exception (Not scientific but proves it's loading the exchange plugin fine and executing):
private sub cmdMbxFullAccess(sender as object, e as eventargs)
Dim psRunSpaceConf As RunspaceConfiguration = RunspaceConfiguration.Create()
Dim psConfException As PSSnapInException[code].....
If however I issue a simpler command like "Get-Host | Out-String" I get return output as expected. Thus far I have checked that the user context it's running under has the correct permissions and tried executing the command from the powershell prompt on that server to make sure that there isn't some other external issue I am overlooking.how I can further debug this, it's like the command disappears into the ether never to be heard from again!

I wonder if it is possible to write and capture errors when running a script to PowerShell.In my case I am using the following code:[code]' add an extra command to transform the script output objects into nicely formatted strings' remove this line to get the actual objects that the script returns, for example, see the script "Get-Process" returns a collection.[code]

I am trying to run powershell script from VB and I want to see the output of the script as it is running inside a console application. With my script (shown below) when I run from powershell it shows "Command Sleep Starting" and then waits for 5 seconds and then displays the other text.
However, when I run from VB.NET program, the execution waits for 5 seconds and dumps all the text output at once. It doesn't execute first Write-Output command and then wait and then output as it should.[code]...

I need to be able to read audio files and manipulate them from within my own program (similar to how Audacity does it). Now, I'm not asking for something with a thousand effects and such, I just need the minimal as far as audio manipulation for .net goes. I really just need to be able to figure out pitches and frequencies being played at what times and the ability to move them all around.

I'm creating a program that displays data from a Access database in DataGridView, and I'm able to "call" the database and display it in datagridview normally, but I need to be able to take the data from 3 separate columns and average them together, within VB.
My table basically displays 3 grades for a student, one column for the student's name and the other 3 columns for 3 separate grades, I need to be able to take the 3 grades from the same row and average them together, then display them in a separate column within DataGridView.
Here is my code so far, but this only displays all the records without the average:

I am building a quiz application which has 5 categories. I am saving details like name, category and score to DB. Table where all data is saved looks like :
Name Category Score
John Windows 10
Tom Mac 5
On the start page i want to disable/enable categories if user has/has not took quiz yet (ie. if John has already completed Windows quiz but hasn't Mac then enable Mac Quiz, disable Windows and show Windows score).Whats the most elegant way of retrieving these values from database and then passing them to variable or boolean? What if search returns NULL (if quiz was not taken by John) and manipulating output from SQL Database? I am using vb.net 2.0 and SQL server 2005 and its an asp.net application.

I'm trying to make a program that can handle menu order in restaurant.
In this program, there are Main form (frmOrder), Starter Form (frmStarter), Entree Form (frmEntree), and Dessert Form (frmDessert). Each category (Starter, Entree, and Dessert) contains 4 menus, and each forms other than main form have label for name, price (label), and quantity (textbox).
Main Form have 4 buttons (3 of them opens respective form of Starters, Entrees, Desserts. Last button calculates total), and it has big label that displays all the ordered menu. By default it has current time and date, so any ordered menus are supposed to be displayed on separate line (with quantity, name, and price with dollar sign).
Below is the code I wrote for frmOrders
[Code]....
I tried to see it works, but lblTape.Text (which is the big label that displays ordered menu) do not change. I did saw lblTape.Text got value it supposed to (item quantity & item name & item price) but it doesn't change when I close form and return to Main form. I'm not sure where I got trouble to end up like this...
