I'm trying to use MailKit dll as assembly in Powershell but there is no way it works.
I've tried with add-type and with [System.Reflection.Assembly] methods bwithout success.
The link to mailkit library:
https://github.com/jstedfast/MailKit
With this method :
$path="$HOME\.nuget\packages\mailkit\1.16.1\lib\net451\MailKit.dll"
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile($path)
ther isn't reference to the assembly in memory.
With this method :
Add-Type -Path $path
this is the error:
Add-Type -Path $path
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Add-Type], ReflectionTypeLoadException
FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.AddTypeCommand
Thanks

this full script may help others:
# search for "Test" in subject and MoveTo Archive/2018
$packages = split-path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
add-type -path (Join-Path $packages "MimeKit.dll") | Out-Null
add-type -path (Join-Path $packages "MailKit.dll") | Out-Null
#Server and Mailbox Definitions
$mailserver = "mail.corp.com"
$username = "email#corp.com"
$password = "password"
$cnn = New-Object MailKit.Net.Imap.ImapClient
$cnn.Connect($mailserver)
$cnn.Authenticate($username,$password)
$cnn.Inbox.Open([MailKit.FolderAccess]::ReadWrite)
$query = [MailKit.Search.SearchQuery]::SubjectContains("Test")
#$orderBy = #([MailKit.Search.OrderBy]::Arrival)
#filter
$uids = $cnn.Inbox.Search($query) #$orderby) not working yet
#download
$msgs = $cnn.Inbox.Fetch($uids, [MailKit.MessageSummaryItems]::UniqueId -bor [Mailkit.MessageSummaryItems]::BodyStructure)
#do something
#move
$archive = $cnn.GetFolder("Archive.2018")
$cnn.Inbox.MoveTo($uids, $archive)
$cnn.Disconnect($true)
Check the path. For me works just fine with the absolute path in $MailKitDllPath:
Add-Type -Path $MailKitDllPath
$client = New-Object MailKit.Net.Smtp.SmtpClient
I've found that MailKit had a reference to MimeKit dll, but there is no error loading MailKit.dll, so it's necessary to load MimeKit.dll also.
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("$home\.nuget\packages\MailKit\1.16.1\lib\net451\MailKit.dll")
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("$home\.nuget\packages\mimekit\1.16.1\lib\net451\MimeKit.dll")

I am trying to create a shortcut on desktop using a Powershell Script. However, I got an error code when trying to run the code below.
$new_object = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
$destination = $new_object.SpecialFolders.Item("AllUsersDesktop")
$source_path = Join-Path -Path $destination -ChildPath "\\Test Intranet.url"
$source = $new_object.CreateShortcut($source_path)
$source.TargetPath = "https://sharepoint.com/"
$source.IconLocation="C:\Users\Public\Pictures\ShortcutIcon.ico"
$source.Save()
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
You didn't show this, but the error message you received is probably this one:
Exception setting "IconLocation": "The property 'IconLocation' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set."
At line:8 char:1
+ $source.IconLocation="C:\Users\Public\Pictures\ShortcutIcon.ico"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], SetValueInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExceptionWhenSetting
That is because an Internet shortcut has different properties than a 'normal' (.lnk) shortcut to a file of folder.
Another thing is that you have prefixed the shortcut filename with a double backslash and by doing so, you will get a wrong path: C:\Users\Public\Desktop\\Test Intranet.url
In below code, I have changed some of the variable names to be more self-descripting (at least, I like to think so..)
$shell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
$destination = $shell.SpecialFolders.Item("AllUsersDesktop")
$shortcutPath = Join-Path -Path $destination -ChildPath 'Test Intranet.url'
# create the shortcut
$shortcut = $shell.CreateShortcut($shortcutPath)
# for a .url shortcut only set the TargetPath
$shortcut.TargetPath = 'https://sharepoint.com/'
$shortcut.Save()
# next update the shortcut with a path to the icon file and the index of that icon
# you can do that because a .url file is just a text file in INI format
Add-Content -Path $shortcutPath -Value "IconFile=C:\Users\Public\Pictures\ShortcutIcon.ico"
Add-Content -Path $shortcutPath -Value "IconIndex=0"
# clean up the COM objects
[System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($shortcut) | Out-Null
[System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($shell) | Out-Null
[System.GC]::Collect()
[System.GC]::WaitForPendingFinalizers()
When opened in notepad, your shortcut file looks like this:
[{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
Prop3=19,11
[InternetShortcut]
IDList=
URL=https://sharepoint.com/
IconFile=C:\Users\Public\Pictures\ShortcutIcon.ico
IconIndex=0
I am trying to run a powershell script inside a SQL Agent job. I keep getting the error: Import-Clixml : The system cannot find the file specified.

I have tried mapping a new drive and doing a set-location. Same results. This is driving me nuts!
Thanks for the help.
In basic Powershell without SSIS at least, it's only one slash at the beginning:
Import-Clixml -Path FileSystem::\path\to\file.txt
I have the following code to upload a file to an FTP Server via powershell but it's giving me this error:
Code:
$Directory=”C:\test”
#FTP server configuration
$ftpserver = “ftp://ftpserver/”
$username = “user”
$password = “pw”
$webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$webclient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($username,$password)
#Copy each file which type is *.tx*
foreach($file in (dir $Directory “*.txt*”)){
“Uploading $file…”
$uri = New-Object System.Uri($ftpserver+$file.Name)
$webclient.UploadFile($uri, $file.FullName)
}
Error:
Exception calling "UploadFile" with "2" argument(s): "Excepção durante um pedido WebClient."
At C:\Users\home\Desktop\test6.ps1:16 char:1
+ $webclient.UploadFile($uri, $file.FullName)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebException
Try it like so:
$Directory = "C:\test"
#FTP server configuration
$ftpserver = "ftp://ftpserver/"
$username = "user"
$password = "pw"
$ftpserverURI = New-Object -TypeName System.Uri -ArgumentList $ftpserver, [System.UriKind]::Absolute
$webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$webclient.Credentials = New-Object -TypeName System.Net.NetworkCredential -ArgumentList $username, $password
#Copy each file which type is *.tx*
Get-ChildItem $Directory -Filter *.txt* | ForEach-Object {
Write-Host "Uploading $($_.FullName)..."
$uri = New-Object -TypeName System.Uri -ArgumentList $ftpserverURI, $_.Name
$webclient.UploadFile($uri, [System.Net.WebRequestMethods+Ftp]::UploadFile, $_.FullName)
}
The differences are that I'm making System.Uri combine the path instead of relying on string concatenation, and I'm telling WebClient.UploadFile() the method to use when uploading the file.
If this doesn't work, then I agree with the comments that you should examine the server logs. If you can't, then try it against a server that you can see the logs for. Alternately, you may want to try to use WinSCP, which is also scriptable with PowerShell or with a custom script file. WinSCP has the advantage of supporting FTP, FTPS, and SFTP, as well. The .Net WebClient only natively supports plain FTP, as far as I'm aware.
As far as smart quotes, they work just fine on Windows PowerShell (<= v5.x), but they don't work at all on PowerShell Core (v6+). I would avoid using them to make your code more portable and more future proof.
I have a powershell script to download items from a TFS directory.
The code is as follows:
$TfsWorkspace = "$/Region/Application/Master/Payments"
$TfsUri = "http://tfs.company.net:8080/tfs/global"
$LocalDir = "C:\Deployment\"
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell
# Connect to TFS
$TFSServer = Get-TfsServer -Name $TfsUri
# Get all directories and files in the $TfsWorkspace directory
$items = Get-TfsChildItem $TfsWorkspace -Recurse -Server $TFSServer
$tfsCollection = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.TfsTeamProjectCollection -ArgumentList $TfsUri
$tfsVersionControl = $tfsCollection.GetService([Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.VersionControlServer])
# Download each item to a specific destination
foreach ($item in $items)
{
#If it finds a folder create the folder first
if ($item.ItemType -eq "Folder")
{
$newFolder = ($LocalDir + $([IO.Path]::GetFullPath($item.ServerItem.Remove(0,1)).Remove(0,3)))
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $($newFolder) -Force
}
else
{
$newFile = $($LocalDir + $([IO.Path]::GetFullPath($item.ServerItem.Remove(0,1)).Remove(0,3)))
$tfsVersionControl.DownloadFile($item.ServerItem, $newFile)
}
}
When I run this script it creates the folders on the drive but when it hits the part to create a new file I get this error message:
Exception calling "DownloadFile" with "2" argument(s): "Invalid URI: Invalid port specified."
At C:\Users\UKAutoUser\Documents\TFS_Update2.ps1:40 char:9
+ $tfsVersionControl.DownloadFile($item.ServerItem, $newFile)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : UriFormatException
I've tried digging through the documentation for that error but it doesnt seem to make sense. Since its connected fine as it finds the items.
Here are an example of the string values being passed into the DownloadFile method:
C:\Deployment\Region\Application\Master\Payments\Screens.cs
$/Region/Application/Master/Payments/Screens.cs
Any help would be appreciated. I seem to be almost there as I can get a list of the files which im iterating through. I just need to be able to download them to the Deployment folder.
This is so that I can later build the code using Jenkins.
I found script on internet, which install WindowsAzurePowerShell, but it doesn't work:
[reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.Web.PlatformInstaller") | Out-Null
$ProductManager = New-Object Microsoft.Web.PlatformInstaller.ProductManager
$ProductManager.Load()
$product = $ProductManager.Products | Where { $_.ProductId -eq "WindowsAzurePowerShell" }
$InstallManager = New-Object Microsoft.Web.PlatformInstaller.InstallManager
$Language = $ProductManager.GetLanguage("en")
$installertouse = $product.GetInstaller($Language)
$installer = New-Object 'System.Collections.Generic.List[Microsoft.Web.PlatformInstaller.Installer]'
$installer.Add($installertouse)
$InstallManager.Load($installer)
$failureReason=$null
foreach ($installerContext in $InstallManager.InstallerContexts) {
$InstallManager.DownloadInstallerFile($installerContext, [ref]$failureReason)
}
$InstallManager.StartInstallation()
I see exception:

So. How it's fixed?
This example I have put together below doesn't go about installing that package the way you where attempting but instead downloads the WebPi CLI, extracts the zip and runs it in an elevated prompt then returns an exit code. I think this will get the job done and can be reproduced on all boxes that may not have the WebPI installed as you can place the file on a share and run this across many computers.
$SourcePath = "http://www.iis.net/community/files/webpi/webpicmd_x86.zip"
$DestinationPath = "c:\Temp\webpicmd_x86.zip"
$ExtractionPath = "c:\Temp\WebPICmd"
$CWebPiCmdLineTool = "$ExtractionPath\WebpiCmdLine.exe"
Import-Module BitsTransfer
Start-BitsTransfer -Source $SourcePath -Destination $DestinationPath
New-Item -Path C:\Temp -Name WebPICmd -ItemType directory | Out-Null
$shell = new-object -com shell.application
$zip = $shell.NameSpace($DestinationPath)
foreach($item in $zip.items())
{
$shell.Namespace($ExtractionPath).copyhere($item)
}
$InstallWebPiPackages = Start-Process -FilePath $CWebPiCmdLineTool -ArgumentList "/Products:WindowsAzurePowerShell" -Verb "RunAs" -Wait -PassThru
$InstallWebPiPackages.ExitCode
