Back when I had Windows 7 an a lower version of Powershell the following code use to work without any issues.
It checks each server in a text file for some services and dumps the results to a CSV.
Now that I'm on Windows 10 and with Powershell v5 I get this error message:

I'm having problem opening project file from Project Online (server). I want to save all online files locally. If I open project first through Desktop client and try to open that file using function FileOpenEx it works (maybe because it opens draft?)
Also I've tried full URL
$Project.FileOpenEx(".../pwa/_api/projectdata/Projects/$name",$true)
But it started import wizard
This is the code:
$csv = Import-Csv '...\ProjectNames.csv'
$Project = New-Object -ComObject msproject.application
$csv | ForEach-Object {
$name=$_.ProjectName
Write-Output $name
$Project.FileOpenEx("<>\$name",$true)
$Save=$Project.FileSaveAs("...\Desktop\ProjectData\$name.mpp")
Get-Process | where{$_.ProcessName -like "*winproj*"} | Stop-Process
}
I get this error when I try to open Project Online projects.
ForEach-Object : Exception calling "FileOpenEx" with "2" argument(s): "The remote procedure call failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BE)"

EDIT: I've changed code to use shell like pointed in comments and it opens now. But when I try to save file sometimes it doesn't return boolean value and just stops. It happens on different projects, but it did save all my listed projects once. But when I want to repeat saving process it just exits at FileSaveAs. And I can't figure out why.
$csv = Import-Csv '...\ProjectData\ProjectNames.csv'
$ProjServer=".../sites/pwa/"
$ProjShell = new-object -comobject wscript.shell
$ProjShell.Run("winproj /s $ProjServer", 1,$false)

I am attempting to write two separate scripts. One script determines which EC2 instances are stopped, it starts them and documents what it starts to a text file.
The second script will read the text file and stop those instances. For debugging/simplicty sake I am starting out by combining the two scripts into a single script.
Here's my script:
$Instances = (Get-EC2Instance).instances
$start_instances = #()
$Instances | foreach {
$state = Get-EC2InstanceStatus -InstanceId $_.InstanceId -IncludeAllInstance $true
$state = $state.InstanceState.Name
if ($state -eq "stopped"){
$start_instances += $_.InstanceId
}
}
[System.IO.File]::WriteAllText("C:\users\myusername\desktop\so.csv", $($start_instances -join ','))
$shutdown_instances = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllText("C:\users\myusername\desktop\so.csv")
Write-Host "Press any key to continue ..."
$x = $host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown")
Stop-EC2Instance -Instance $shutdown_instances
Starting and documenting what instances are running works fine. Its the stopping instances which is failing.
I'm getting the following error:
Stop-EC2Instance : Invalid id: "i-99edd755,i-8d647f58"
At C:\users\myusername\Desktop\aws-test.ps1:28 char:1

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Stop-EC2Instance], AmazonEC2Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Amazon.EC2.AmazonEC2Exception,Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.EC2.StopEC2InstanceCmdl
Those instance IDs are indeed valid so I can't figure out why the heck its complaining. I was writing the instance IDs to a file via out-file and getting it via get-content but that seemed to have caused a different error.
I'm assuming the issue has something to do with the format of the data once i'm pulling it out of the text file.
Edit
So I've changed my script to:
$start_instances = $start_instances | Select-Object #{Name='Name';Expression={$_}}
$start_instances | Export-Csv -Delimiter ',' -NoTypeInformation -path C:\temp\instances.csv
$stop_instances = #(Import-Csv -path C:\temp\instances.csv)
$stop_instances | Stop-EC2Instance
But still get an error:
Stop-EC2Instance : No instances specified
At C:\temp\aws-test.ps1:22 char:19
+ $stop_instances | Stop-EC2Instance
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Stop-EC2Instance], AmazonEC2Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Amazon.EC2.AmazonEC2Exception,Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.EC2.StopEC2InstanceCmdlet
I've also tried:
Stop-EC2Instance -InstanceID $stop_instances
But that also dies:
Stop-EC2Instance : No instances specified
At C:\temp\aws-test.ps1:22 char:1
+ Stop-EC2Instance -InstanceId $stop_instances

InstanceId parameter needs array.
You can declare an empty array first
$EC2Instance =#()
Then use Import-CSV and pipe it to append the empty array with each value from csv
Import-CSV C:\Temp\Instance.csv | Foreach-Object {$EC2Instance += $_.InstanceId}
echo $EC2Instance
$EC2instance will now have the required instance id's in an array
Then you can use it in the command
Stop-EC2instance -InstanceId $EC2instance
This worked for me.
We have moved our system alerting over to SCOM 2012 and receive heartbeat alerts when servers go offline. Presently there are approximately 750 servers in the vDC that I am managing. The SCOM 2012 server is in a different untrusted domain.
I have one working script where it puts the servers in Maintenance mode, but its run serially and takes about 40 minutes to put nearly 400 servers in Maintenance Mode. This is a workable solution, but I would like to use the foreach -parallel command to speed it up.
I have my workflow (to use the foreach -parallel command) created and placed in one of the default PowerShell Module locations on the Source and Destination Machines. I've tested the set of commands outside of the workflow on the SCOM server and it runs successfully. When I try to run the command remotely via an Invoke-command, the SCOM commands come back as being unrecognized.

I have a list of hostnames from which I'd like to extract all AppLocker related eventlogs, especially the ones with level warning and/or error.
I crafted this script:
$ComputersToCheck = Get-Content 'X:\ListWithTheNames.txt'
foreach($OneHost in $ComputersToCheck)
{
try
{
$EventCollection = Get-WinEvent -LogName "Microsoft-Windows-AppLocker/EXE and DLL" -ComputerName $OneHost -Credential $CredentialFromUser
foreach ($SingelEvent in $EventCollection)
{
if($SingelEvent.LevelDisplayName -ne "Information")
{
$pathtosaveto = 'SomeFileName.txt'
$ResultString += $SingelEvent | Select Message,MachineName,UserId | Export-Csv -Path $pathtosaveto -Append
}
}
}
catch
{
//handling exceptions
}
}
This works for a while, but after a certain ammount of time I got an error:
Get-WinEvent : The remote procedure call failed
At X:\FileName.ps1:22 char:28
+ $EventCollection = Get-WinEvent -LogName "Microsoft-Windows-AppLocker/EX ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-WinEvent], EventLogException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : The remote procedure call failed,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetWinEventCommand
And right after the script start giving errors like this:
Get-WinEvent : The handle is invalid
At X:\FileName.ps1:22 char:28
+ $EventCollection = Get-WinEvent -LogName "Microsoft-Windows-AppLocker/EX ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-WinEvent], EventLogException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : The handle is invalid,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetWinEventCommand
My first thought was that it is related to the host the script try to reach, but the next in the list is the same type (Os, even the same model) as the previous.
I ran the script 3 times, and every time the output size was different (probably because not the same hosts were online with the same amount of logs).
The script should run against more than 700 hosts, to which a special account is needed which I prompt by the Get-Credential, store in a variable and pass it the the Get-WinEvent as a parameter.
To be honest I stuck with this issue, not really sure what cause this and why.
If anyone has an idea please share with me :)
Give this a try to attempt catching references to failed hosts and empty objects. You could write the exception received but I didn't include that in this to make the failedhosts file simple to read. Hope I got it right as I winged it and don't have a true case to test against.

I want to execute below code in the either local or remote machine whith current user.

$backupPath = join-path $BackupShare $backupName
$oldBackups = Get-ChildItem $backupShare | where { ( $_.name -like 'SqlAgentJob_*.sql' ) }
$server.JobServer.Jobs.Script() | Out-File -filepath $backupPath
foreach ( $item in $oldBackups ) { remove-item $item.fullName }
}
the #argList is

I notice that
this one, it works well (no -comupterName and -session)
Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock $BackUpSqlAgentAndRemoveOldbackup -argumentList $argList
this one, it throw execption (I also tried "-session", get same result)
Invoke-Command -computerName localhost -ScriptBlock $BackUpSqlAgentAndRemoveOldbackup -argumentList $argList
the exception is as below, it seems the it can not access the folder.

does anyone know how can I do if I want to add computerName or session?
(notes:[Environment]::UserName return identical user)
You have run into the double hop problem. Your credentials can be transferred to the next machine (first hop), but no further (second hop). This means that you can't use the credentials of the machine where you are executing Invoke-Command on, the remote machine (localhost) to connect to a file share (\Host5FileSrv\Backup). Even if you use localhost as computername, it is still remoting. A solution could be CredSSP. See here and here for more information.
This looks like a "second hop" remoting problem, and you'll need to configure WinRM on the computers involved to use CredSSP
