$s=[ADSI]"LDAP://CN=PF Migrated - Inbox804923#aecom.com,OU=ContactObjects,OU=Exchange,DC=na,DC=aecomnet,DC=com"
$s.description
Folder path: \ANZ\Townsville\Projects\606x\60608278_NW Traffic & Safety Plan\Inbox
In the above scenario $s.description gives me the description but in below loop $contact gives correct info but $contact.description shows nothing
foreach($u in $pf)
{
$contact= -join ('[ADSI]"LDAP://' + "$($u.Distinguishedname)" + '"')
$contact.description
}
Look at the format of your working command, no quotes around the type accelerator [ADSI] Then just apply that to your loop.
foreach($u in $pf)
{
$contact= [ADSI]"LDAP://$($u.Distinguishedname)"
$contact.description
}
foreach($u in $pf){$u.name;[ADSI]"LDAP://$($u.distinguishedname)"}
works ! thanks everybody for helping me :)

Have been looking at what I thought would be a really simple task this morning.... and turns out it wasn't, at least not for me.
What I am trying to do is get powershell to read through an ini-file, and change multiple values under specific headers only.

I want to change the values "Automatisk=Nei" to "Automatisk=Ja", "Tidspunkt=" to "Tidspunkt=10:00" and "AntallDagerFrem=Nei" to "AntallDagerFrem=Ja"... The Tidspunkt and AntallDagerFrem values shouldn't be that hard since they only appear once in the file, but "Automatisk=Nei" appears 4 times, and I only want to change the one below [Paaminnelse]
$content = #(if ((Get-Content $inifile) -join "`n" -match '\[Paaminnelse\]([\s\S]*)\[SMS\]') { $Matches[1] })
$newcontent = $test -replace 'Automatisk=Nei','Automatisk=Ja' -replace 'Tidspunkt=','Tidspunkt=10:00' -replace 'AntallDagerFrem=Nei','AntallDagerFrem=Ja'
This finds the correct lines from the ini-file and changes the values I want to change, but using Set-Content $inifile -Value $newcontent will of course remove all everything else from the file which is not what I want :)
More used to cat, grep, awk and sed than PowerShell to be honest so any pointers would be helpful.
As Theo notes, consider using a dedicated INI file parser, such as the one provided by the third-party PsIni module - see this answer for how to install and use it.
Update: Your own answer now shows how to use it to solve your specific problem.
If installing a module isn't an option, I suggest using a -switch statement, which has awk-like capabilities:
# Array of sample lines, as would be returned by:
# Get-Content $inifile
$iniFileLines = #'

'# -split '\r?\n'
$inPaaminnelseSect = $false
# Note: To operate directly on your file, replace
# ($iniFileLines) with -File $iniFile
switch -Regex ($iniFileLines) {
'^(Tidspunkt)=$' { '{0}=10:00' -f $Matches[1]; continue }
'^(AntallDagerFrem)=Nei' { '{0}=Ja' -f $Matches[1]; continue }
'^(Automatisk)=Nei' {
if ($inPaaminnelseSect) { '{0}=Ja' -f $Matches[1] } else { $_ }; continue
}
'^\[(.+)\]' { $inPaaminnelseSect = $Matches[1] -eq 'Paaminnelse'; $_ }
default { $_ } # pass through
}
Note:
The above assumes:
that your file has exactly the format as shown in your question. However, it would be easy to make parsing more flexible with respect to optional whitespace.
that you only want to replace entries if they have a specific current value (or none); this too could easily be changed to replace the values irrespective of the current value.
Matching is case-insensitive, as PowerShell generally is by default; add the -CaseSensitive switch to make it case-sensitive.

Theo and mklement0 have both pointed to the PsIni-module which does exactly what I wanted to do - so consider the question answered.
Set-IniContent $inifile -Sections 'Paaminnelse' -NameValuePairs #{
Automatisk='Ja'; Tidspunkt='10:00'; AntallDagerFrem='Ja'
} | Out-IniFile $inifile -Force
This question already has answers here:
How do I pass multiple parameters into a function in PowerShell?
(15 answers)
Closed last year.
I'm pretty sure I have some synthax error in here, but i can't find it.
I wrote this little script here to find some Files in a Folder - I want all the Filepaths that don't have some of the terms in the $excludeList in there but my Contains-Function always returns $true. And when I enable the Write-Output-Line, it also, always sais $true
$path = 'C:\bcartifacts.cache\onprem\19.2.32968.33504\ch\Applications'
$excludeList = #('Test', 'Samples', 'BaseApp\Source', 'Application\Source', 'system application\source')
function Contains([string]$Fullpath, $ExcludeList) {
$result = $false
#Write-Output $ExcludeList
$ExcludeList | % { $result = ($FullPath.Contains($_) -or $result) }
return $result
}
(Get-ChildItem $path -Filter '*.app' -Recurse).FullName | % {
if (!(Contains($_, $excludeList))) { $_ }
}
Here is the List of Files I'm trying to filter:

Please tell me what went wrong, and if you know a way to achieve the same result more smoothly, I'm open for suggestions :)
Thank you in advance.
you need to remove parenthesis and comma in - if (!(Contains($_, $excludeList))) { $_ }
you have a problem with passing argument to a function.
look here: How do I pass multiple parameters into a function in PowerShell?
$path = 'C:\bcartifacts.cache\onprem\19.2.32968.33504\ch\Applications'
$excludeList = #('Test', 'Samples', 'BaseApp\Source', 'Application\Source', 'system application\source')
function Contains([string]$Fullpath, $ExcludeList) {
$result = $false
#Write-Output $ExcludeList
$ExcludeList | % { $result = ($FullPath.Contains($_) -or $result) }
return $result
}
(Get-ChildItem $path -Filter '*.app' -Recurse).FullName | % {
if (!(Contains $_ $excludeList)) { $_ }
}
$path = 'C:\bcartifacts.cache\onprem\19.2.32968.33504\ch\Applications'
[string[]]$excludeList = #('Test', 'Samples', 'BaseApp\\Source', 'Application\\Source', 'system application\\source')
[string]$excludeListRegex = $excludeList -join('|')
(Get-ChildItem $path -Filter '*.app' -Recurse).FullName | % {
if ($_ -notmatch $excludeListRegex) { $_ }
}
This is a trick I've used in the past. Basically you are dynamically creating one big regex query and using that to match the lines. Downside is you must format the entries in the ExcludeList array in a regex friendly manner. You'll notice I escaped all the backslashes with backslashes. Backslash IS the escape char in regex so if you just want an actual backslash you have to type two backslahes like I did. The upside is this is really fast because the alternative is nested loops where you'd have to iterate through every file in the list once for every exclusion. Another downside is that i'm sure there's a limit to how long that regex query can get (not sure offhand what it is) but it's not infinitely scalable.
I believe there may be a more elegant way to code this but I'd have to put a lot more thought into it. ;-)
I'm struggling creating and querying data of an object. (I think hash table)
two environment (test and production)
two servertypes per environment (webserver and appl servers)
1 or more servers of each type
I want to store the hostnames within the applicable section. I created the following hash:
$arr =#{}
$arr.Environment = #{}
$arr.Environment.Production = #{}
$arr.Environment.Production.serverType = #{}
$arr.Environment.Production.serverType.webServer = #{}
$arr.Environment.Production.serverType.entServer = #{}
$arr.Environment.Test = #{}
$arr.Environment.Test.serverType = #{}
$arr.Environment.Test.serverType.webServer = #{}
$arr.Environment.Test.serverType.entServer = #{}
I found that I can access data like:
$serversArray.Environment.Test.serverType.webServer
I would like to know:
is this the right way of doing this? are there better / easier way to accomplish this?
how do I loop/filter this object, retrieving servernames that meet the specified criteria? Since I need to have 1. all test webservers then 2. all test appl servers etc
thanks
If you're able to save all this in one go (using variables or hardcoded strings), you should be using the native format to store it - much more readable.
See
$Optiplex = #{
'Brand' = 'Dell'
'Model' = 'Optiplex'
'Specs' = #{
'RAM' = '4 GB'
'CPU' = 'Intel i5'
'USB Ports' = '3'
'CD/DVD Drive' = 'No'
'HDD' = '320 GB - SSD'
} #Specs
} #Optiplex
From this walkthrough
You'll be able to access the variables for the hashtable in the same way, such as Optiplex.Specs.RAM to get the value for RAM.
Edit: To better answer question number 2, here's some idea on looping:
foreach ($serverTypeToKVs in $arr.Environment.Production.serverType.GetEnumerator()) {
Write-Host "ServerType $(serverTypeToKVs.Name):"
foreach ($keyVal in $serverTypeToKVs.Value.GetEnumerator()) {
# Logic if serverTypeToKVs.Name == "webServer"
# Logic if keyVal == something
# General work to be done
}
}
I found following way to achieve this:
$order = #(("Test","Production"),("webServer", "entServer"))
foreach($env in $order[0]) {
Write-Host "Environment: $env"
foreach($svr in $order[1]) {
Write-Host "ServerType: $svr"
write-host "hostnames: "$serversArray.Environment.$($env).serverType.$($svr)
}
}
This will loop the correct way/sequence and lists correct servers:
Environment: Test
ServerType: webServer
hostnames: tweb1 tweb2
ServerType: appServer
hostnames: tapp1
Environment: Production
ServerType: webServer
hostnames: pweb1 pweb2 pweb3
ServerType: appServer
hostnames: papp1 papp2 papp3 papp4
not sure if I'm chaing the wild goose here but as per subject I'd need to get a list of AD attributes, for the user ObjectClass, that are multie valued.
For example the proxyAddresses exchange specific attribute is multi valued where extensionAttribute* only accept a single string.
We use a heavily customized schema and while I could go through each attribute documentation I'd rather get a list of aforementioned attributes via PowerShell.
I've tried using ldp.exe but could not achive desired results and was wondering if there is a way to do this via PowerShell or .Net managed code.
Thanks in advance for any help/pointer.
So you have to query the Schema part of the directory and look for objectClass attributeSchema and attribute isSingleValued (FALSE). The part of the distinguichName wichh is invariant is : CN=Schema,CN=Configuration.
try first with CSV :
csvde -f MultivaluedAttributes.csv -d CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=MySubdomain,DC=MyDomain,DC=com -r "(&(objectclass=attributeSchema)(isSingleValued=FALSE))" -l lDAPDisplayName
Here is the powershell code.
# LDAPSchemaQuery.PS1
try
{
$dn = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry ("LDAP://179.22.21.01/CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=MyDomain,DC=MyExt","MyUser", 'MyPassword')
# Query into the Schema
# csvde -f MultivaluedAttributes.csv -d CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=office,DC=coyotesystems,DC=com -r "(&(objectclass=attributeSchema)(isSingleValued=FALSE))" -l lDAPDisplayName
$Rech = new-object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher($dn)
#$Rech.filter = "(&(objectclass=user)(mail=*)(!(UserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))"
$Rech.filter = "(&(objectclass=attributeSchema)(isSingleValued=FALSE))"
$Rech.SearchScope = "subtree"
$dumy=$Rech.PropertiesToLoad.Add("lDAPDisplayName")
$adAttributes = $Rech.findall()
foreach ($adAttribute in $adAttributes)
{
$multivaluedAttribute = try{$adAttribute.Properties["lDAPDisplayName"]}catch{""}
$multivaluedAttribute
}
}
catch
{
Write-Verbose "LDAPSchemaQuery : PB with $($adAttribute.Path)"
}
I'm trying to use PowerShell with web deployment based on this
article
This is how my script looks like
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.Web.Deployment")
function Sync-Provider($provider, $sourceLocation, $destLocation)
{
$destBaseOptions = new-object Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentBaseOptions
$syncOptions = new-object Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentSyncOptions
Try
{
$deploymentObject = [Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentManager]::CreateObject($provider, $sourceLocation)
$deploymentObject.SyncTo($provider,$destLocation,$destBaseOptions,$syncOptions)
}
Catch
{
echo "EXCEPTION THROWN::[ $_ ] "
#throw $_
}
}
Sync-Provider ("apphostConfig","D:\NerdDinner_2.0\NerdDinner","c:\inetpub\wwwroot")
Running this gives the following exception
EXCEPTION THROWN::[ Cannot convert argument "0", with value: "System.Object[]",
for "CreateObject" to type "Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentWellKnownProvid
er": "Cannot convert value "apphostConfig,D:\NerdDinner_2.0\Ne
rdDinner,c:\inetpub\wwwroot" to type "Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentWellKn
ownProvider" due to invalid enumeration values. Specify one of the following en
umeration values and try again. The possible enumeration values are "Unknown, A
ppHostConfig, AppHostSchema, AppPoolConfig, ArchiveDir, Auto, Cert, ComObject32
, ComObject64, ContentPath, CreateApp, DirPath, DBFullSql, DBMySql, FilePath, G
acAssembly, IisApp, MachineConfig32, MachineConfig64, Manifest, MetaKey, Packag
e, RecycleApp, RegKey, RegValue, RootWebConfig32, RootWebConfig64, RunCommand,
SetAcl, WebServer, WebServer60"." ]
Could you give me some hints on this, please?
Try to enclose the first parameter [Microsoft.Web.Deployment]::DeploymentWellKnownProvider.AppHostConfig with a pair of extra parenthesis: ([Microsoft.Web.Deployment]::DeploymentWellKnownProvider.AppHostConfig).
In my case I had the same problem, just opened the powershell console as Administrator and it worked.
