Here is a script I used to check status of my URL whether it is working or not. I need to write a script in such a way that it accepts all the URLs present in a text file which is placed in local drive and displays their information.
[string] $url = 'http://mywebsite.net'
function CheckForStatus($url) {
try {
[net.httpWebRequest] $req = [net.webRequest]::create($url)
$req.Method = "HEAD"
[net.httpWebResponse] $res = $req.getResponse()
if ($res.StatusCode -eq "200") {
write-host "`nSite $url is up (Return code: $($res.StatusCode) -
$([int] $res.StatusCode))`n" -ForegroundColor green
}
else {
write-host "`nSite $url is not available (Return code:
$($res.StatusCode) - $([int] $res.StatusCode))`n" -ForegroundColor red
}
} catch {
write-host "`nSite $url is having some DNS issues`n" -ForegroundColor
red
}
}
CheckForStatus $url
Use the Get-Content cmdlet and pipe it for processing each line.
Get-Content "some_file" | % { CheckForStatus($_) }

Trying to use PowerShell to capture the running status of the "Nessus Essentials" software product. Simply trying to capture product status: running, not running, or other. Getting the below error each time. I've tried changing -like to -match and changing string [warn] [scanner] Not linked to a manager to various other shorter versions, with wildcards and without, to no avail. I still get several lines of an ugly error message when all I want is one line with the string Not linked to a manager returned to console with nothing beneath that.

Note: Code above is courtesy of here, I've only made a change to the path of Nessus, and I am adding the attempt to capture that it's not connected to a manager.
Modify your code so that it separates standard output from error and so that it handles each line separately.
The following is how to capture standard output (excluding else statements and error handling) of a program (according to your $Proc variable)
if ($proc.Start())
{
while (!$proc.StandardOutput.EndOfStream)
{
$StreamLine = $proc.StandardOutput.ReadLine()
if (![string]::IsNullOrEmpty($StreamLine))
{
# TODO: Duplicate code in this scope as needed or rewrite to use multiline regex
$WantedLine = [regex]::Match($StreamLine, "(?<wanted>.*Not linked to a manager.*)")
$Capture = $WantedLine.Groups["wanted"]
if ($Capture.Success)
{
Write-Output $Capture.Value
}
}
}
}
After that deal with error output separately:
$StandardError = $Proc.StandardError.ReadToEnd()
if (![string]::IsNullOrEmpty($StandardError))
{
# Or use Write-Error
Write-Output $StandardError
}

I've tried loads of different things such as setting global:Environment etc, but I always seem to be missing out whichever variable isn't specified in the command?
Maybe this isn't the best way to write this, but i've never used $PSBoundParameters before so this is my first time trying it out..
Can anyone see my glaring error here at all?
TIA :)
#Mathias R. Jessen answered this for me.
I put this in the function

$global:UserProf = $Prof
}
then changed code later on with the global variable, so I can use them
I've tried invoke-restmethod, new-object and many other methods to achieve what I'm trying to do. Here are the latest two iterations:
$req = Invoke-WebRequest -uri $scripturl -OutFile "$($scriptpath)\fls.core.ps1"
Write-Host "StatusCode:" $req.StatusCode
$req = Invoke-WebRequest -uri $scripturl -OutFile "$($scriptpath)\fls.core.ps1" | Select-Object -Expand StatusCode
Write-Host "StatusCode:" $req
Basically I'm attempting to download another PowerShell script and execute it. So obviously it needs to be synchronous. I also need the status so I can determine if it updated or not.
Here is pseudo code for what I'm trying to accomplish:
try {
download file
} catch {
output error
if (local copy exists) {
log warning that local copy is being used
} else {
log error could not download and no local copy available
exit script
}
}
run script (only after downloading new one if available)
Here is my current code in full:
$param1=$args[0]
if ($param1 -eq "-d" -or $param1 -eq "-D") {
$isDev = $true
}
#todo: Move to config file
$logpath = "c:\company\logs\loginscript"
$scriptpath = "c:\company\scripts\"
$scripturl = "http://downloads.company.com/fls.core.ps1"
$logfile="$(Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd hhmmss").log"
Function log($message) {
Write-Output "[$(Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd hhmmss")] $message" | Out-file "$($logpath)\$($logfile)" -append
if ($isDev) { Write-Host "[$(Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd hhmmss")] $message" }
}
Function createFolder($path) {
if (-!(Test-Path $path)) { New-Item -Type Directory -Path $path }
}
function updateScripts() {
try {
$req = Invoke-WebRequest -uri $scripturl -OutFile "$($scriptpath)\fls.core.ps1"
Write-Host "StatusCode:" $req.StatusCode
} catch {
Write-Host "StatusCode:" $req.StatusCode
if ($req.StatusCode -eq 404) {
log "WARNING: Script not found at $scripturl"
} else {
log "ERROR: Script download error: $req.StatusCode"
}
if (Test-Path "$($scriptpath)\fls.core.ps1") {
log "WARNING: Using local script"
} else {

$req.StatusCode appears to be null.
Invoke-WebRequest reports errors as statement-terminating errors, which means that no assignment to variable $req (in statement $req = Invoke-WebRequest ...) takes place in case an error occurs.
Instead, unfortunately, if an error occurs, the response object[1] must be gleaned from the [ErrorRecord] instance representing the error, which is available via $Error[0] after the fact, or via $_ in the catch block of a try { ... } catch { ... } statement (adapted from this answer):
try {
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $scripturl -OutFile "$scriptpath\fls.core.ps1"
} catch [Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.HttpResponseException] {
# Get the status code...
$statuscode = $_.Exception.Response.StatusCode
# ... and work with it.
# if ($statusCode -eq 404) { ...
} catch {
# Unexpected error, re-throw
throw
}
Strictly speaking, $_.Exception.Response.StatusCode returns a value from an enumeration type, System.Net.HttpStatusCode, not an [int] value, but you can use it like an integer. To return an integer to begin with, append .Value__ or cast to [int].
Note that Invoke-WebRequest is always synchronous; if you download a file (successfully), the call won't return until the download is completed.
[1] As the linked answer explains, the response object contained in the error record is of a different type than the one that Invoke-WebRequest returns in case of success (which requires -PassThru if -OutFile is also specified): The error record's .Exception.Response property contains a System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage instance, whereas Invoke-WebRequest returns an instance (derived from) Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebResponseObject, which incorporates an instance of the former type, in its .BaseResponse property.

But I need do this for several SharePoint Sites, but I'd like to avoid having to run 10 different PowerPoint Scripts, if possible.
What I've tried:
I've made an array where I've defined the variables for all the sites, like this (with the correct data):
$params = #(
[pscustomobject]#{
siteId = "SiteID";
webId = "webId";
listId = "listId";
userEmail = $userUpn;
webUrl = "webUrl";
webTitle = "webTitle";
listTitle = ""Documents"
}
[Repeated for each Site]
)
I've then altered this part of the original code, to do a ForEach loop:
#region Main Process
try {
#region Sharepoint Sync
[mailaddress]$userUpn = cmd /c "whoami/upn"
$params | ForEach-Object {
$params.syncPath = "$(split-path $env:onedrive)\$($userUpn.Host)\$($params.webTitle) - $($Params.listTitle)"
Write-Host "SharePoint params:"
$params | Format-Table
if (!(Test-Path $($params.syncPath))) {
Write-Host "Sharepoint folder not found locally, will now sync.." -ForegroundColor Yellow
$sp = Sync-SharepointLocation #params
if (!($sp)) {
Throw "Sharepoint sync failed."
}
}
else {
Write-Host "Location already syncronized: $($params.syncPath)" -ForegroundColor Yellow
}
}
#endregion
}
But it's not working as expected: Only the first Site in my Array is synced.
I'm a PowerShell beginner, so please help me: What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
When looping through all the objects inside the $params array using a ForEach-Object, the object that you want to reference will be $_ .. not $params. So, where you are referencing $params.webTitle, etc., you should be referencing $_.webTitle, $_.listTitle, etc.
If you're new to Powershell, I would recommend you setting a variable like $paramObj for each instance using foreach ($parmObj in $params) {...} to make it clear what you are referencing, making the code look like:
# replaces the ForEach-Object
ForEach ($paramObj in $params) {
Write-Host "SharePoint params:"
$paramObj | Format-Table
# i didn't see a syncPath in your $params custom object.. better if you set a local variable
$syncPath = "$(split-path $env:onedrive)\$($userUpn.Host)\$($paramObj.webTitle) - $($paramObj.listTitle)"
if (!(Test-Path $($syncPath))) {
Write-Host "Sharepoint folder not found locally, will now sync.." -ForegroundColor Yellow
$sp = Sync-SharepointLocation #paramObj
if (!($sp)) {
Throw "Sharepoint sync failed."
}
}
else {
Write-Host "Location already syncronized: $syncPath" -ForegroundColor Yellow
}
}
I'm trying to get a 200 status code for a URL but I keep getting 0 instead. The url works, but the problem is it's a redirected URL. Even if I try the final URL after it redirects it still shows me a 0 status code.
How can I get the correct status code for a website that's down or up regardless of whether it's been redirected or not?
This is what I have now which works fine for regular URL's like http://google.com but not for redirected URL's. Unfortunately the urls I'm working with are private but it's in the format of http://example.com which winds up at https://example.com/index?redirectUrl=
If I run the PS script below with: .\CheckUrl.ps1 https://example.com/index?redirectUrl=
...it still fails to return a code of 200. The page comes up fine, whether I use the 1st url or the final redirected url but status code returns 0 which means it says the site is down and that's not true.
$url = $args[0]
function Get-WebStatus($url) {
try {
[Net.HttpWebRequest] $req = [Net.WebRequest]::Create($url)
