I am trying to execute an powershell script (the script is unzipping the folders in source path with the same name as the .zip folder)
powershell script:
param([string] $sourcepath)
$sourcepath = "F:\Worflow\"
function unzip ($file) {
$dirname = $sourcepath +(Get-Item $file).Basename
New-Item -Force -ItemType directory -Path $dirname
expand-archive -path $file -DestinationPath $dirname -F
}
$zipFiles = Get-LongChildItem -Path $sourcepath -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*.zip"}
foreach($file in $zipFiles)
{
unzip ($file)
}
SSIS Executue process task Arguments:
"-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -File C:\MyDataFiles\Unzip.ps1"
The powershell script works fine when ran in PS instance. But the code is failing from SSIS task with an error :
Get-LongChildItem : The term 'Get-LongChildItem' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
again.
At C:\MyDataFiles\Unzip.ps1:17 char:13
+ $zipFiles = Get-LongChildItem -Path $sourcepath -Recurse | Where-Obj ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Get-LongChildItem:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

Anyhelp would be appreciated. The goal is using powershell to zip and unzip folders or files.
Looks like you are attempting to use a command without first loading the module.
Get-LongChildItem is part of the open source module PSAlphaFS
Try importing the module in your script first.
Of course it needs to be installed too. ;)

I have several folders dir_01, dir_02, dir_03 that I want to backup in a zip file, say, backup.zip. This has to be saved in a folder with today's date. I need to get a .bat file to do the job; no additional third party executables allowed.
Here I found how to create a folder with today's date, but I am having problems to pass $destination to -DestinationPath. I created a .bat that calls PowerShell. Code giving me problems:
powershell.exe $destination = New-Item -Path 'C:\path\to\destionation' -ItemType Directory -Name ("$(Get-Date -f yyyy-MM-dd)")
powershell.exe -nologo -noprofile -command Compress-Archive -Path 'C:\path\dir_01', 'C:\path\dir_02', 'C:\path\dir_03' -DestinationPath $destination\backup.zip -Force
The error message is the following:
New-Object : Exception calling ".ctor" with "2" argument(s): "Access to the path 'C:\backup.zip' is denied."
At
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive\Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive.psm1:729
char:30
+ ... ileStream = New-Object -TypeName System.IO.FileStream -ArgumentList $ ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [New-Object], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ConstructorInvokedThrowException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewObjectCommand
However, the code works if I hard-code the path to destination, like this:
powershell.exe -nologo -noprofile -command Compress-Archive -Path 'C:\path\dir_01', 'C:\path\dir_02', 'C:\path\dir_03' -DestinationPath 'C:\whole\path\backup.zip' -Force
But doing so, I'm unable to save backup.zip in today's folder.
Question: How can I save backup.zip in the folder that I created with today's date?
You can perform both commands in the same PowerShell session by separating them with a semicolon.
powershell.exe $destination = New-Item -Path 'C:\path\to\destionation' -ItemType Directory -Name ("$(Get-Date -f yyyy-MM-dd)"); Compress-Archive -Path 'C:\path\dir_01', 'C:\path\dir_02', 'C:\path\dir_03' -DestinationPath $destination\backup.zip -Force
That will launch PowerShell and have it create the folder and then zip things into it in the same session, rather than create a session, in that session create a folder, close the session, start a new PowerShell session, zip things up, close the second session.
I´m a newbie still and learning to create PowerShell scripts to make Life in IT easier.
At present I´m trying to build a script, which runs a certain Microsoft tool, scanning defined network shares in a csv file and creating an JSON output file.
Now as the pattern of this file is always the same like "Report_Username_Hostname.vba.JSON", I would like to append either the scanned directory name or even a range of numbers, fe. "Report_Username_Hostname(100).vba.JSON" or "Report_Username_Hostname(sharename).vba.JSON"
This is neccessaray as after this renaming step, I upload this and other files within this folder to another folder on different server to upload them into a Database.
I planned to run this script in in many different locations on most automatic level and they all copy the their collected files to just one upload folder.
I already tried several options I found somewhere in the deep of the Internet, but I only came to the point where the file was renamed to 0 or similar, but not to expected result.
The Powershell script doing the work is this:
$PSpath = 'C:\temp\FileRemediation\Scripts\'
$Rpath = $PSpath +'..\Reports\1st'
$localshare = $PSpath +'..\temp\1st'
$csvinputs = Import-Csv $PSpath\fileremediation_1st.csv
$uploadshare = '\\PGC2EU-WFSFR01.eu1.1corp.org\upload\'
# This section checks if the folder for scan reports is availabe and if not will create necessary folder.
If(!(test-path $Rpath))
{
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $Rpath
}
If(!(test-path $localshare))
{
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $localshare
}
Set-Location $Rpath
# This section reads input from configuration file and starts Ms ReadinessReportCreator to scan shares in configuration file.
ForEach($csvinput in $csvinputs)
{
$uncshare = $csvinput.sharefolder
$Executeable = Start-Process "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft xxx\xxx.exe" `
-Argumentlist "-p ""$uncshare""", "-r", "-t 10000", "-output ""$localshare"""`
-Wait
Get-ChildItem -Path $localshare -Filter '*.JSON' | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.FullName+$uncshare}
}
# This section copies the output *.JSON file of the xxx to the share, where I they will be uploaded to DB.
Get-ChildItem -Path $localshare -Filter '*.JSON' | Where {$_.Length -ge 3} | move-item -Destination '$uploadshare'
the fileremediation_1st.csv looks like
sharefolder
\\server\sharename
Can someone please help me on this, I don´t have a clue what I´m doing wrong.
Thank you!
Current error I get is
Rename-Item : Cannot rename the specified target, because it
represents a path or device name. At
C:\temp\FileRemediation\scripts\fileremediation_V2_1st.ps1:28 char:55
+ ... share -Filter '*.JSON' | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.FullName+$uncshare}
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Rename-Item], PSArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Argument,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RenameItemCommand
As said before, I would also be fine with a dedicated range of numbers, which is append to the file name "Report_Username_Hostname(100).vba.JSON"
The perfect world would be if I could split the \server\sharename from csv file and append the sharename to my filename.
I think the issue is with:
Rename-Item -NewName {$_.FullName+$uncshare}
Your input file (Get-ChildItem) path is:
$PSpath = 'C:\temp\FileRemediation\Scripts\'
$localshare = $PSpath +'..\temp\1st'
The Rename-Item uses $_.FullName which resolves to something like this:
C:\temp\FileRemediation\Scripts\..\temp\1st\MyFile.JSON
The variables then contain:
$_.FullName = C:\temp\FileRemediation\Scripts\..\temp\1st\MyFile.JSON
$uncshare = "\\server\sharename"
So Your Rename-Item ... $_.FullName+$uncshare will try to rename it to:
C:\temp\FileRemediation\Scripts\..\temp\1st\MyFile.JSON\\server\sharename
Which is not a valid path.
I am trying to run the command below to copy a file from the script directory. Since this script directory will be different on each PC how can I tell the -Path to use the file where the script is being run?
Copy-Item : Cannot find path 'C:\Users\user\test.certs' because it does not exist.
Copy-Item -Path .\test.certs -Destination "$env:UserProfile + '\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\security'"
try this:
$ScriptPath = (Get-Item -Path ".\" -Verbose).FullName
Copy-Item -Path ($ScriptPath + "temp.txt") -Destination "$env:UserProfile + '\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\security'"
I generally use this method because it allows you to append a filename to it without any issues.
I'm using powershell to remove a directory with the command:
Remove-Item $pathAsString -Recurse -Force
However, it gives me the following error:
Remove-Item : Cannot remove the item at 'C:\Path' because it is in use.
At line:1 char:1
+ Remove-Item "C:\Path" -Recurse
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Remove-Item], PSInvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperation,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand
I thought that was odd, because the directory shouldn't be in use. I can go into file explorer and delete the directory manually. I'm not really sure why this behavior is occurring. I'm fairly new to powershell, so don't understand exactly how it behaves.
My scripts interaction with the program includes:
Creating the folder
Downloading an MSI to the folder
Setting a variable to represent the MSI stored in the folder. Like so:
$MSIVariable = Get-ChildItem $Path | Where {&_.Name -eq "MSIName.msi"}
I'm assuming that something to do with the folder is within a stream of some sort, but don't know how I'd fix this issue.
EDIT:
Here is the code I use involving the folder:
Creating the Folder:
if(!(Test-Path $MSILocation))
{
New-Item $MSILocation -ItemType directory
}
Downloading the MSI:
$webClient = (New-Object System.Net.WebClient)
$downloadLocation = Join-Path $MSILocation $MSIName
$webClient.DownloadFile($downloadURL, $downloadLocation)
I need to delete all the content of a folder which may include broken links among others. The folder path is provided by a variable. Problem is that PowerShell fails to remove the broken links.
$folderPath = "C:\folder\"
Attempt 1:
Remove-Item -Force -Recurse -Path $folderPath
Fails with error:
Remove-Item : Could not find a part of the path 'C:\folder\brokenLink'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Remove-Item -Force -Recurse -Path $folderPath
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : WriteError: (C:\folder\brokenLink:String) [Remove-Item], DirectoryNot
FoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : RemoveItemIOError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand
Attempt 2:
Start-Job { cmd /c rmdir $folderPath }
Fails because $folderPath gets passed as is instead of its value:
Start-Job { cmd /c rmdir $folderPath } | select command
Command
-------
cmd /c rmdir $folderPath
Any suggestion besides using the .NET framework?
EDIT
By broken link I'm referring to a folder which points to a previously mounted partition, that doesn't exist anymore. The folder is still available but when attempting to navigate into it this error occurs because the destination doesn't exist anymore:
Error:
C:\folder\brokenLink refers to a location that is unavailable. It
could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to
make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are
connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it
still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a
different location.
This will work:
$folderPath = "C:\folderContaingBrokenSymlinks\";
$items = ls $folderPath -Recurse -ea 0;
foreach($item in $items){
if($item.Attributes.ToString().contains("ReparsePoint")){
cmd /c rmdir $item.PSPath.replace("Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::","");
}
else{
rm -Force -Recurse $item;
}
}
