I am using the following command for about 100 users. I would like to put the email addresses in a list and have it run through them.
Set-User -Identity name#company.org -LinkedMasterAccount $null
Trying this
Import-Module activedirectory
$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri
http://servername/powershell -Authentication Kerberos -
Credential $mycredentials
Import-PSSession $session
$list=Get-Content "C:\Email.txt"
ForEach ($user in $list) {Set-User -Identity $user-LinkedMasterAccount $null}
This file exists and it looks to be interating through it - I get an error for each listed below
A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '$null'.
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-User],
ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Set-User
+ PSComputerName : servername.com
Put your emails in a txt file and loop through each of them like -
Get-Content \\PathToYourTextFile\File.txt | % { Set-User -Identity $_ -LinkedMasterAccount $null }

Good afternoon everyone, I need to configure this script to run on AD machines, but I can only run it on the local machine, could you help me
I tried: $session = New-PSSession -ComputerName computer01
$events = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $session -ScriptBlock {`
param($days,$up,$down)
Get-EventLog `
-After (Get-Date).AddDays(-$days) `
-LogName System `
-Source EventLog `
| Where-Object {
$_.eventID -eq $up `
-OR `
$_.eventID -eq $down }
} -ArgumentList $NumberOfDays,$startUpID,$shutDownID -ErrorAction Stop
however it generated the error below:
Invoke-Command : One or more computer names are not valid. If you are trying to pass a URI, use the -ConnectionUri parameter, or pass URI objects instead of
strings.

I have a primary SCCM server - "ABC"
Later I installed SCCM console and PowerShell Module on one more machine - "XYZ"
I am running below script from server - "OPQ" and trying to remote "XYZ" (on which i installed SCCM Console Recently)

$Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName "XYZ" -Authentication Kerberos -Credential $Cred -ConfigurationName Microsoft.PowerShell32

Well it appears you have a permissions issue. Here is how I executed a remote command in my SCCM environment, via my PSS:
$device = Invoke-Command -Session $sess -ScriptBlock {
Import-Module (Join-Path (Split-Path $env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH)
ConfigurationManager.psd1)
Push-Location -Path ((Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\SMS" -Class
"SMS_ProviderLocation" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SiteCode) + ":")
Get-CMDevice -Name $env:COMPUTERNAME
Pop-Location
}
$device
RunspaceId : cbc7e008-d92c-4ba3-94a3-b75f8005be98
SmsProviderObjectPath : SMS_CM_RES_COLL_SMS00001.ResourceID=16777221

ADLastLogonTime : 3/31/2020 11:23:38 PM

...
Note that if you're not remoting to your PSS, you will need to specify your PSS in the Get-WmiObject command, e.g.:
(Get-WmiObject -ComputerName [YOUR PSS] -Namespace "root\SMS" -Class "SMS_ProviderLocation" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SiteCode) + ":"
I was able to resolve this issue by saving the credentials on the XYZ server and then calling them under my INvoke-Command.
Like This :
$Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName "XYZ"
Invoke-Command -Session $Session -ScriptBlock {
$password = Get-Content -Path D:\Creds\creds.txt | ConvertTo-SecureString
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("domain\UserId", $password)
Then the rest of the code. ... .. . . .
}
I'm trying to set up PS Remoting/Win-RM and have the following:
$primary = 'server1'
$user = $env:UserName
$admUser = Get-Credential -UserName "domain\adm-$user" -Message 'Enter your *ADMIN* password:'
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName $primary -Credential $admUser {
hostname
}
However, this is returning the following error (I've tested this from a console and it works, so there's something wrong with my script):
Windows PowerShell credential request.
Enter your *ADMIN* password:
Password for user domain\adm-user1: ***************
Enter-PSSession : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '
hostname
'.
At line:5 char:1

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Enter-PSSession], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId :PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.EnterPSSessionCommand
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
Enter-PSSession opens a console connection to a remote system.
If you want to run a command on a remote system, you'd want to use Invoke-Command.
Also, you 100% always need to pass scriptblocks into some parameter (minus some edge cases where it's accepted by default). In this case, we need to use -Scriptblock.
Example:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $primary -Credential $admUser -ScriptBlock {
hostname
}
or
$session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $primary -Credential $admUser
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {hostname}
Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {$env:USERNAME}
Disconnect-PSSession -Session $session
I am currently making a script to create a folder which then creates an AD group and links them together. I then connect to our server in the data centre to set the permissions.
To do this I need to enter a PSSession and find the folder and set the permissions. Unfortunately, it's not working. Any help would be appreciated.
Script
#Get ADM Credentials
$Cred = Get-Credential
# PowerShell's New-Item creates a folder
$Name = Read-Host "What is the name of the folder?"
$Location = Read-Host "What is the folder path? i.e B:\Collaboration\"
New-Item -Path $Location -Name $Name -ItemType "directory"
#Invoke-Item $Location
# Powershell creates an AD group
$Groupname = Read-Host "What is the group name? i.e. SS COLLABORATION BEN"
New-ADGroup -path "OU=StorSimple Centralisation Groups,OU=Groups,OU=Northgate PLC,DC=northgatevehiclehire,DC=net" -Name $Groupname -GroupCategory Security -GroupScope Global -DisplayName $Groupname -Description "Access to $Location" -Credential $cred
#Connect to StudFS01
$Folderpath = Read-Host "What is the path of the folder in StudFS e drive? i.e. Vehicle Sales\TOM Information"
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName Studfs01 -Credential $Cred
Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
Set-Location -Path E:\CentralisedData\Data\$folderpath
#Set Permissions
$rule=new-object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule ("northgatevehiclehire.net\Domain Admins","FullControl","Allow")
$rule2=new-object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule ("northgatevehiclehire.net\StorSimple Centralisation Administrators","FullControl","Allow")
$rule3=new-object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule ("$Groupname","Modify","Allow")
$acl = Get-ACL E:\CentralisedData\Data\$folderpath
$acl.SetAccessRule($rule,$rule2,$rule3)
Set-ACL -Path E:\CentralisedData\Data\$folderpath -AclObject $acl
Error Im getting is below

Instead of Enter-PSSession which is meant for interactive use, you need to establish a new PSSession and then use Invoke-Command against it. Something like this:
$PSSession = New-PSSession -ComputerName Studfs01 -Credential $Cred
Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock {
<CODE TO EXECUTE ON REMOTE SYSTEM HERE>
}
If you need to pass parameters/variables, you have two choices. The easiest (in newer versions of PowerShell) is the using statement like this:
$PSSession = New-PSSession -ComputerName Studfs01 -Credential $Cred
Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock {
Set-Location -Path E:\CentralisedData\Data\$using:Folderpath
}
Another option is to pass your arguments with -ArgumentList and use Param() in the script block like this:
$PSSession = New-PSSession -ComputerName Studfs01 -Credential $Cred
Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ArgumentList $Folderpath -ScriptBlock {
Param($Folderpath)
Set-Location -Path E:\CentralisedData\Data\$Folderpath
}
