I am trying to export the Task Scheduler jobs under Task Scheduler Library using Power shell.
But when i try to run the script it displays all the tasks which are in my machine, i don't want to export all those to a file,just need the tasks which are under Task Scheduler Library.
"ScheduledTasks"
schtasks.exe /query /V /FO CSV | ConvertFrom-Csv

We want some functionality where we can export the report using the command line so that we can execute that command through some batch file and export reports on a daily schedule time.
Issue:
For this ,we are trying some code snippet from Tally developer "Help --> TDL Sample"(this is complete path of sample code C:\Program Files\TallyPrimeDeveloper\Samples\Whats New\Rel 3.x\Rel 3.0\Programmable Configurations\Export Report Trial Balance.txt).
The following code sample works properly on button click and we are successfully exported the report in our folder
"""[Button: TSPL Smp Export PC]
Key : Ctrl + E
Action : Call : TSPL Smp PC Export Report
Title : "Export Report"
;; Function Definition begins
[Function: TSPL Smp PC Export Report]
Local Formula : SysDate : $$SysInfo:SystemDate
00 : SET : SVExportLocation : "."
10 : SET : SVExportFormat : $$SysName:PDF
20 : SET : SVPrintFileName : "List of Ledgers as onShri_1234 " + $$String:#SysDate + ".PDF"
30 : SET : SVPrintFileName : $$MakeExportName:##SVPrintFileName:##SVExportFormat
40 : EXPORT REPORT : . : TRUE
50 : Msg Box : "TestMsg2" :"We need to download this report through command line" """
But we are facing issue when we are trying to call this same function through command line
Command line is : "C:\Program Files\TallyPrime\tally.exe" /Load:10000 /Action:Call:TSPLSmpPCExportReport .
As per our observations and debugging, the above function gets successfully called through the command line because when I am executing it through the command line,I am getting a "TestMsg2" popup but the file is not getting exported. It seems there is some issue only in file export through the command line, not in function calling through the command line.
I have a solution that works, but without TDL and uses C# or Python
Using C# you can create console app, and you can use that in command line
using Python, you can create script and run from command line
Refer this video for python
I created complex forms application in powersheel and it is running correctly in Powershell ISE and powershell console too, but there is little difference in behaviour:
when I run application by double clicking in windows explorer, powershell console opens, but there is toooo much of "debug" data from creating all form controls(checkboxes, labels, buttons...). It takes too long to start and it looks like this:
TextImageRelation : Overlay UseMnemonic : True UseCompatibleTextRendering : True UseVisualStyleBackColor : True AccessibilityObject : ControlAccessibleObject: Owner = System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox, CheckState: 0 AccessibleDefaultActionDescription : AccessibleDescription : AccessibleName : AccessibleRole : Default AllowDrop : False Anchor : Top, Left AutoScrollOffset : {X=0,Y=0} LayoutEngine : System.Windows.Forms.Layout.DefaultLayout BackgroundImage : BackgroundImageLayout : Tile BindingContext : {} Bottom : 208 Bounds : {X=165,Y=190,Width=96,Height=18} CanFocus : False CanSelect : False Capture : False CausesValidation : True ClientRectangle : {X=0,Y=0,Width=96,Height=18}
This output is not in powershell ISE(there is none) - there application starts immediately.
I was not able to resolve this issue and I would like to remove debug output when run from console, if it is possible - to speed up script start.
Script source code is same as examples on internet, for example like this:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/samples/creating-a-custom-input-box?view=powershell-7
I tried yo add | Out-Null to some controls/rows - which i saw in logs, but it did not help.
Also I tried to identify which command is making output by manually adding some controls to console, but none generated that output.
I tried to create ISE profile and load it in script run from console, but it did not help, because created profile file was empty.
If I run new console window like this:
start-process powershell -argumentlist "-noexit", "-noprofile" and run script from that, it works without logs.
But if I run script like this:
start-process powershell -argumentlist "-noexit", "-noprofile", "-command $path"
it outputs logs again.
Any ideas how to do it? What should I check/modify.
Thank you.
solved: problem was a space in script name as I mentioned in comment.
Hello everyone and thanks in advance for the possible answers.
Where I work we have different WS2016 virtual machines and we read that the updates could be a pain due to the very long time they could take and we can't stay a lot with the services down (we have several virtual machines to update soon).
In the same thread we read an advice: cleaning the WinSXS folder could drastically reduce this time.
WS2016 already has this scheduled but it has got a 1 hour timeout so if it takes more than that the process gets killed.
The solution is creating the schedule manually so we made a script for this that checks the current date and the last update date and, if the difference is more than 30 days, it runs the command:
dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore
and then the command:
dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
Now the real question...One of the results of AnalyzeComponentStore is:
Component Store Cleanup Recommended
And the answer could be Yes or No
Is there a way to check if this value is "Yes" (so launch the StartComponentCleanup) or "No" (so exit from the script)?
Thanks again!
#Doug Maurer...this is the result of the AnalyzeComponentStore
PS C:> dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore

There are several ways to achieve this, I will list two and you can choose the one you like better. Others may offer alternative approaches.
First using Select-String - simply pipe the output into select string
$output = #'

'#
$output | Select-String "Component Store Cleanup Recommended : (\w*)" | foreach {$_.matches.groups[1].value}
I used the outvariable paremeter of Foreach, you could also just assign normally
$cleanup = $output | Select-String "Component Store Cleanup Recommended : (\w*)" | foreach {$_.matches.groups[1].value}
Second suggestion is to use -Match
$cleanup = if($output -match "Component Store Cleanup Recommended : (\w*)"){$matches[1]}
Both will end up setting $cleanup to the yes/no value you're after.
Get-Variable cleanup
Name Value
---- -----
cleanup {Yes}
Now you can simply check if it's yes and run the cleanup if so.
if($cleanup -eq 'yes'){"run cleanup code"}
I've created a ASP.NET Web API that retrieves a file as a stream content, saves to disk and scans the file using Windows defender (MpCmdRun.exe). When running the API locally on my computer, everything is fine. However, I want to host this API in the cloud (Azure), as the rest of my applications are there. I decided to put this Web API inside a docker container, and then publish it to Azure. However, when running Windows Defender inside the Docker Container, I get the following error:
Running:

I'm not really able to RDP into the docker container (as far as I can tell it's not possible with the microsoft/aspnet image). This means I have to do everything in the command prompt/powershell, and I'm still quite new to that.
This might not be enough information, or even the right information to track this problem, but I've been stuck with this for way to long now. If anyone can give me some pointers on what to look for/how to proceed with locating/fixing these issues that'd be awesome. Thank you in advance!
run this as admin to completely disable windows defender
Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $true
Windows Server 2016 by default uses process isolation (not HyperV) and antivirus already scans your files on unlabeled disk and volume.
When we set breakpoints within a Module we've imported the debugger ignores the breakpoint. Has anybody else seen this behaviour?
This is driving me nuts, we use PowerShell Modules extensively.
The thing that's really weird is I can see the breakpoint if I run get-psbreakpoint

Debugging modules can be tough. One way I have been able to do it is load both the module and the code that calls the function you are debugging. In the code that calls a function in the module, place a break point. Then when it its the call to the function in the module, step in to it. Once it steps into the module you should be able to hit F5 again to hit your break point in the module.
Sorry if that is not as clear as it should be, still reeling from day light savings on a Monday.
