I'm trying to create a pool of applications with specific parameters using this code:
$currentAppPool = New-WebAppPool -Name myNeyAppPool
# Set pool specifications
$currentAppPool.AutoStart = "true"
$currentAppPool.ManagedRuntimeVersion = "No Managed Code"
$currentAppPool | Set-Item
I have several errors because setitem asks me for a path variable that it doesn't recognize. Set-Item: The input object cannot be bound because it did not contain the information required to bind all mandatory parameters: Path
I tried to give it the parameter -path IIS:\AppPools\myNeyAppPool but I get the message
Set-Item: Cannot find drive. A drive with the name 'IIS' does not exist
There are quite a few changes concerning the management of IIS in w10 via powershell 7, but little documentation seems to exist on the subject.
Is there anything help ?
Thks,
The provider "IIS:" is loaded when importing the webadministration module.
Providers before and after to load webadministration module
Do you have IIS role enabled in windows 10?
You can check the following link:
https://community.lansweeper.com/t5/installation/how-to-install-iis-internet-information-services/ta-p/64422
Which providers appear if you run the "Get-PSProvider" command?
First try running PowerShell as an administrator, and then the drive is provided by the WebAdministration module, so you need make sure install that module, you can install the module with the following PowerShell commands:
Import-Module ServerManager
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Scripting-Tools

I need to move PowerShell Az module from one machine to another offline (both machines have the same windows (10 Pro 1809), .net, powershell (5.1), etc versions)
I can't use either Private PowerShellGet Repositories or MSI installer
I run Save-Module -Name Az -Path 'C:\Users\kag\Documents\ps_modules' -RequiredVersion 3.7.0 -Force on "donor" machine and it gives me 50+ dirs exported:
I copy all to "receiver" machine and running:
Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\kag\Documents\ps_modules\*" -Recurse | Unblock-File
Import-Module -name "C:\Users\kag\Documents\ps_modules\Az" -Verbose
..but getting errors for all dependencies:
Any ideas how to correctly move Az module offline?
Here my comments as answer:
It seems the path you saved the module in C:\Users\kag\Documents\ps_modules is not one of the module paths PowerShell knows of.
You can test which paths are used by PowerShell to find your modules by typing
$env:PSModulePath.split(';')
in the console.
Below is an excerpt from Stefan Stranger's Blog
You can add a temporary path that is available for the current session only:
$env:PSModulePath = $env:PSModulePath + ";C:\Users\kag\Documents\ps_modules"
To make that permanent, you can either add the line above to your PowerShell profile, or manually add it to the registry:
$CurrentValue = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PSModulePath", "User")
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PSModulePath", $CurrentValue + ";C:\Users\kag\Documents\ps_modules", "User")
use "User" to store this path for the current user only. Use "Machine" to have that path available for all users
Looking for some help with a script. I have tried and failed. I am not really advanced in powershell.
importing dlls is new for me. Any help is appreciated.
I want to use powershell to import the wlanapi.dll and use micrsoft native wifi functions to disable wireless background scanning, and enfore streaming mode.
The script should do this on execute. That way I can run it, or set it in a start up script.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wlanapi/nf-wlanapi-wlansetinterface?redirectedfrom=MSDN
Functions I am wanting to use:
wlan_intf_opcode_background_scan_enabled
wlan_intf_opcode_media_streaming_mode
Import is something you do via the PSModule paths where your modules or DLLs live.
You must tell PowerShell where the DLL is, no different than you'd have to if you loaded a module (.psm1 file with or without a manifest) of which you did not install to one of the defined PowerShell module paths.
You can use Add-Type...
Add-Type -Path $UncToCustomDll
... yet also, you can also use reflection:
$customDLL = 'UncToYourDLL'
See also Lee Holmes article on the topic here:
Load a Custom DLL from PowerShell
If you try to import and it's not in a know location, you get this.
Import-Module SomeNewCustomOr3rdP.dll
Import-Module : The specified module 'SomeNewCustomOr3rdP.dll' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.
Of course, that error is pretty specific. It has no idea where to find it because that name does not match a module name.
So, this ...
Import-Module 'c:\users\mj\desktop\SomeNewCustomOr3rdP.dll'
Or create a folder of the same basename as the DLL in the PSModulePath, copy the DLL to the that named folder and use import as normal
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\SomeNewCustomOr3rdP\SomeNewCustomOr3rdP.dll'
Then this...
Import-Module SomeNewCustomOr3rdP
... should work as expected. All-in-all, Add-Type, Import-Module, and Reflection.Assembly::LoadFile($customDll), all accomplish the same thing, grant you access to the resource you specified.
If you are using a 3rdP DLL/Module, all this has to be done manually. If you are using published modules/packages that are in the MS powershellgallery.com, then this:
# Find all modules with wlan in the name
Find-Module -Name '*wlan*' |
Format-Table -AutoSize
# find all packages with wlan in the name
Find-Package -Name '*wlan*' |
Format-Table -AutoSize
# Get the detail on wlanapi specifically
Find-Package -Name 'wlanapi'
# Download and save a module or package
Find-Package -Name 'wlanapi' |
Save-Package -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules"
Install-Package -Name 'wlanapi' -Force
Import-Module -Name wlanapi
I'm trying to create a PowerShell endpoint constraint that restricts an user to only execute the functions in a custom module I made.
The first thing I did is import-module mymodule.psm1 which allows me to run my modules fine withing my host system.
Then the following PS command creates the configuration file for the endpoint which allows the functions inside the brackets to be the only functions the user gets to execute.
New-PSSessionConfigurationFile -VisibleFunctions('Get-Command','Get-Info', 'CreateAD-User','Generate-Html','Change-Logon') -LanguageMode ‘ConstrainedLanguage’ –SessionType ‘RestrictedRemoteServer’ –Path ‘c:\test\helpdesk.pssc’
Then I register the endpoint with
Register-PSSessionConfiguration –Name ‘HelpDesk’ -ShowSecurityDescriptorUI –Path ‘c:\test\helpdesk.pssc’
and selected which user I want allow to have these constrains once the SecurityDescriptorUI pops up. Once I log into the user that I set up the constrains for with
Enter-PSSession -computername SRV1-AD -Credential $credential -ConfigurationName HelpDesk
These are the allowed cmdlets / functions that the user is allowed to execute. These are the default required cmdlets to allow remote connections into a system.
How can I allow my custom module to be the only functions the endpoint allows users to execute? or How can I import my module into configuration file so it executes every time the HelpDesk end point configuration is used. I know that in the configuration file there's a line to import modules but Import-Module is not actually a module an example of a module would be ActiveDirectory, if I'm able to find what module import-module is a part of I think I should be able to do a quick and dirty work around for this.
UPDATE
A dirty solution I found for this was to enter into the user's session and disable all cmdlets / functions except the ones I want to allowed for example import-module & Get-Command with import-module I can manually import my custom module and my functions will be the only ones visible to user. But this is not a perfect solution because this means that I would need to download my module into every system I want this to take effect and it's no longer a one to many solution. The ideal solution is to have my module locally stored, enter into a session with the registered end point and have my module already imported into the users account.
Enter-PSSession -computername SRV1-AD -Credential $credential -ConfigurationName HelpDesk
Further Update
User #prasoon-karunan-v suggested I used -ScriptsToProcess & FunctionDefinitions to import the module so I used the following command
New-PSSessionConfigurationFile -VisibleFunctions('Get-Command','Get-Info', 'CreateAD-User','Generate-Html','Change-Logon') -LanguageMode ‘ConstrainedLanguage’ –SessionType ‘RestrictedRemoteServer’ –Path ‘.\EndPoint.pssc’ -ScriptsToProcess C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Modules\ImportM.psm1
In the configuration file I also set the functions I want to use like so
# Functions defined in this session configuration
FunctionDefinitions = 'Get-Command','Get-Info', 'CreateAD-User','Generate-Html','Change-Logon'
When I tried to establish a session it would throw the following error
Then I thought maybe it's not working because were not telling the command to import anything were just pointing to the module file, so maybe I need to create a small script that imports the module then add it the configuration file. So that's exactly what I did I created a small script with just,
import-module C:\Modules\ImportM.psm1 and then I went over to the .pssc
file and added this script to the ScriptsToProcess but I get the following error after I try to establish a session to the constrained endpoint.
Language Mode is set to
LanguageMode = 'RestrictedLanguage'
use -ScriptsToProcess parameter, which can be used to import your custom module.
See below as well.
Get-Help New-PSSessionConfigurationFile -Parameter ScriptsToProcess
Get-Help New-PSSessionConfigurationFile -Parameter FunctionDefinitions
Update:
Be sure about the language mode to use,

I have an Azure Cloud Service Worker Role which needs a separate Windows Service installed to redirect application tracing to a centralized server. I've placed the installation binaries for this Windows Service in a Storage Account's file storage as shown below. I then have my startup task call a batch file, which in turn executes a power-shell script to retrieve the file and install the service
When Azure deploys a new instance of the role, the script execution fails with the following error:
Cannot find path
'\\{name}.file.core.windows.net\utilities\slab1-1.zip' because it does
not exist
However, when I run the script after connecting through RDP, all is fine. Does anybody know why this might be happening? Here is the script below...
cmdkey /add:$storageAccountName.file.core.windows.net /user:$shareUser /pass:$shareAccessKey
net use * \\$storageAccountName.file.core.windows.net\utilities
mkdir slab
copy \\$storageAccountName.file.core.windows.net\utilities\$package .\slab\$package
I always have problem here and there by using a script to access the mounted azure file drive. I believe this is more or less related to the drive is mounted only for the current user and may not always work the same when called from a script.
I ended up pulling files from azure file the hard way without network drive.
$source= $stroageAccountName
$sourceKey = $shareAccessKey
$sharename = "utilities"
$package = "slab1-1.zip"
$dest = ".\slab\" + $package
#Define Azure file share root
$ctx=New-AzureStorageContext $source $sourceKey
$share = get-AzureStorageShare $sharename -Context $ctx
Get-AzureStorageFileContent -share $share -Destination $dest -Path $package -confirm:$false
Code example here will get you a good start:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-how-to-use-files/
It would be harder to manage if you have more complex folder structure, but objects there are CloudFileDirectory and CloudFile, property and methods there works seamlessly for me in powershell 4.0
*Azure Powershell module is required for 'Get-AzureStorageFileContent' cmdlet
I am trying to copy one file from share in my custom dsc script. This code below works great in powershell, but not working in dsc resource.
PS C:\Users\user> $wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
PS C:\Users\user> $wc.DownloadFile("\\DC1\Downloads\en_sql_server_2012_enterprise_edition_with_service_pack_2_x64_dvd_
4685849.iso", "C:\SQL2012SP2.iso")
Powershell 4/5 has native commandlets for get files from smb share? Or any variants?
As #arco444 alluded to, the way you're doing this is bananas. Why not use Copy-Item?
That aside, I think you would have the problem with Copy-Item as well.
DSC runs under the context of SYSTEM, so you should make sure that your share allows access from the machine account of the machine on which the DSC is to be executed.
Alternatively, you can grant read access to Authenticated Users (which includes all other users as well), or Domain Computers if you're in a domain and want all of the computers to be able to read the contents.
The Credential parameter in file resource is used to connect to the source - so you can specify credentials for the share.
However make sure that credentials are secured as described in this article - [link] http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2014/01/31/want-to-secure-credentials-in-windows-powershell-desired-state-configuration.aspx
