I have PowerShell script which delegates powers of security group for the selected OU via dsacls.
All works fine but i want to output a JSON response for success delegation (without all dsacls access list and object info) and for error just information.
How i run dcals:
dsacls "OU=Organization,DC=domain,DC=tld" /I:S /G GroupName:RPWP;sn;user
How to check now is dsacls run correct delegate and return via ConvertTo-Json method?
Is there another option than checking response string of dsacls?
Thanks.
maybe something like this:
$res = dsacls "OU=Organization,DC=domain,DC=tld" /I:S /G GroupName:RPWP;sn;user
#{ success = $?
error = if (!$?) { [string]$res } else { "" }
} | ConvertTo-Json
the $? variable contains the success status of the last executed command (true or false)

Background.
i have IBM CDC Replication engine and i need to check subscriptions status by using Zabbix.
Im calling subs status by cmd.exe /C "C:\Program Files\IBM\InfoSphere Data Replication\Management Console\bin\chcclp.exe" -f c:\CDC_Check.txt where CDC_Check.txt is script for that chcclp CLI
//Check the status of all subscriptions
//Source datastore: ***
//Target datastore: ***
chcclp session set to cdc;
// Turn on verbose output.
set verbose;
// Setting variables.
set variable name "ACCESS_HOSTNAME" value "";
set variable name "ACCESS_PORT" value "";
set variable name "ACCESS_USERNAME" value "";
set variable name "ACCESS_PASSWORD" value "";
set variable name "SOURCE_DATASTORE" value "";
set variable name "TARGET_DATASTORE" value "";
// Connecting to Access Server.
connect server
hostname "%ACCESS_HOSTNAME%"
port "%ACCESS_PORT%"
username "%ACCESS_USERNAME%"
password "%ACCESS_PASSWORD%";
// Connecting to the source and target datastores.
connect datastore name "%SOURCE_DATASTORE%";
connect datastore name "%TARGET_DATASTORE%";
// Setting the datastore context.
select datastore name "%SOURCE_DATASTORE%" context source;
select datastore name "%TARGET_DATASTORE%" context target;
// List replication state and latency of all subscriptions.
monitor replication;
// Disconnecting from datastores and Access Server.
disconnect datastore name "%SOURCE_DATASTORE%";
disconnect datastore name "%TARGET_DATASTORE%";
// Disconnect from Access Server and terminate the script.
disconnect server;
exit;
and im receiving following result:
Im trying to parse Subscription + Status and move it to Json for next integration with zabbix.
Im very new in PS so i still have no normal progress.
I understand idea that i need to capture anything that going under SUBSCRIPTIONS and STATE and write it to Json.
The first step would be to redirect the output of the app so you can read it in for parsing.
cmd.exe /C "C:\Program Files\IBM\InfoSphere Data Replication\Management Console\bin\chcclp.exe" -f c:\CDC_Check.txt > C:\temp\file.log
Then you can use the get Get-Content cmdlet to get it in your console session
$fileContent = Get-Content -Path "C:\temp\file.log"
Once it's in an array you can parse it like so.
$i=0
$fileContent | %{
$i++
if($_ | Select-String -Pattern "SUBSCRIPTION STATE" -CaseSensitive){
$headerIndex = $i
}
}
$headerIndex += 2 #start of report data to capture
This loop continues until it finds the blank line in the output
$hashObj= #{}
for ($x = $headerIndex; $fileContent[$x].length -gt 1 ;$x++){
$hashObj.Add("$($fileContent[$x].Substring(0,19).Trim(' '))","$($fileContent[$x].Substring(20,19).Trim(' '))")
}
#converts your hashtable to json object
$jsonObj = $hashObj | convertto-json
Not entirely sure how you need the json formatted but this will be what to expect your output to be similar to
{
"S_ACC_D": "Mirror Continuous",
"S_ACC_E": "Mirror Continuous",
"S_ACC_A": "Mirror Continuous",
"S_ACC_B": "Mirror Continuous",
"S_ACC_C": "Mirror Continuous"
}
I have an output variable siteToDeploy and siteToStop. I am using postman to run a test script against the IIS Administration API. In the test portion of one of the requests I am trying to set the azure devops output variable. Its sort of working, but the variable value is getting cut off for some reason.
Here is the test script in postman:
console.log(pm.globals.get("siteName"))
var response = pm.response.json();
var startedSite = _.find(response.websites, function(o) { return o.name.indexOf(pm.globals.get("siteName")) > -1 && pm.globals.get("siteName") && o.status == 'started'});
var stoppedSite = _.find(response.websites, function(o) { return o.name.indexOf(pm.globals.get("siteName")) > -1 && o.status == 'stopped'});
if(stoppedSite && startedSite){
console.log('sites found');
console.log(stoppedSite.id)
console.log('##vso[task.setvariable variable=siteToDeploy;]' + stoppedSite.id);
console.log('##vso[task.setvariable variable=siteToStop;]' + startedSite.id);
}
Here is the output form Newman:
Here is the output from a command line task echoing the $(siteToDeploy) variable. It's getting set, but not the entire value.
I've tried escaping it, but that had no effect. I also created a static command line echo where the variable is set and that worked fine. So I am not sure if it is a Newman issue or Azure having trouble picking up the varaible.
The issue turned our to be how Azure is trying to parse the Newman console log output. I had to add an extra Powershell task to replace the ' coming back from the Newman output.
This is what is looks like:
##This task is only here because of how Newman is writing out the console.log
Param(
[string]$_siteToDeploy = (("$(siteToDeploy)") -replace "'",""),
[string]$_siteToStop = (("$(siteToStop)") -replace "'","")
)
Write-Host ("##vso[task.setvariable variable=siteToDeploy;]{0}" -f ($_siteToDeploy))
Write-Host ("##vso[task.setvariable variable=siteToStop;]{0}" -f ($_siteToStop))

Function return value in PowerShell
(10 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I've written a PowerShell script to perform some pre-installation setup for a series of patches I'm deploying to client computers across our estate and I'm hitting a bit of an odd issue that I can't wrap my head around.
The setup patch checks the 'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe.config' file due to a "feature" of PowerShell 2.0 whereby the application uses .NET Framework 2.0.0 by default instead of 4.5.2, preventing certain functions from being executed. If the file doesn't exist or the evaluated values don't match a specification, I add the XML file and provide the necessary values.
The command I run is as follows:
$psConfigDir = "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0"
$psConfigFileName = "powershell.exe.config"
[boolean]$psExeXml = Set-PSRuntimeConfigs -FilePath ( [String]::Format("{0}\{1}", $psConfigDir, $psConfigFileName) ) -CLRVersions #("v4.0.30319", "v2.0.50727")
...and the Set-PSRuntimeConfigs method is found in a PowerShell Module I created with the code below:
Function Set-PSRuntimeConfigs {
[CmdletBinding()]
Param(
[String]$FilePath,
[System.Collections.ArrayList]$CLRVersions
)
Try {
$xmlWriter = New-Object System.Xml.XmlTextWriter($FilePath, $null)
$xmlWriter.Formatting = "Indented"
$xmlWriter.Indentation = 4
$xmlWriter.WriteStartDocument()
$xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("configuration")
$xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("startup")
$xmlWriter.WriteAttributeString("useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy", $true)
$CLRVersions | ForEach-Object {
$xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("supportedRuntime")
$xmlWriter.WriteAttributeString("version", $_)
$xmlWriter.WriteEndElement()
}
$xmlWriter.WriteEndElement()
$xmlWriter.WriteEndElement()
$xmlWriter.WriteEndDocument()
$xmlWriter.Close()
$xmlWriter.Dispose()
return $true
} Catch {
echo "ERROR: Exception occurred during XML write process!"
echo "ERROR: Exception message: $($_.Exception.Message)"
return $false
}
}
However, the function is returning an InvalidCastException when trying to assign the result of the function to the $psExeXml variable. Oddly, PowerShell returns with an error stating that [System.Object()] cannot be converted to type [Boolean] despite the fact that only $true or $false is returned from the function.
My first thought is that an exception was being thrown by the function due to a code issue but the function is written to report the error in the prompt and just return $false in that case... Regardless, I'm stuck and can't figure out where to proceed with this...
If the function produces any output then the result will be an array containing the strings that were output and then the final element will be your boolean.
So for this code:
echo "ERROR: Exception occurred during XML write process!"
echo "ERROR: Exception message: $($_.Exception.Message)"
return $false
the function returns an array of two strings and a boolean.
I have need of retrieving and inspecting the delegate forwarding rule (the built-in delegate commands in EWS being inadequate for my needs since they choke on groups being used as delegates).
I am able to successfully locate the rule created by "Schedule+ EMS Interface". However, I am unable to retrieve PR_RULE_ACTIONS. Turning on tracing.
I see that the PidTagRuleMsgProvider property is getting returned just fine, but PR_RULE_ACTIONS never does.
I suspect that I am using the wrong MAPI property type in the propertyset definition, but I've gone through everything listed at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchangewebservices.mapipropertytypetype(v=exchg.140).aspx . Any clues?
Here is the relevant snippet of code:

Glen Scales was able to set me on the right path. It turns out that PR_RULE_ACTIONS is not exposed via EWS, but the same data exposed via an attribute called PR_EXTENDED_RULE_ACTIONS. Now I'm happily slinging code to parse the binary blob.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee218391(v=EXCHG.80).aspx
The property tag for PR_RULE_ACTIONS is 0x668000FE. You can see it (and the property data) in OutlookSpy (I am its author) - go to the Inbox folder, click IMAPIFolder button, go to the PR_RULES_TABLE tab, select the rule, double click on the PR_RULE_ACTIONS property.
Note that PT_ACTIONS MAPI type (0x000FE) is only accessing in Extended MAPI, I don't think EWS will be able to return it.
I'm trying to use PowerShell with web deployment based on this
article
This is how my script looks like
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.Web.Deployment")
function Sync-Provider($provider, $sourceLocation, $destLocation)
{
$destBaseOptions = new-object Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentBaseOptions
$syncOptions = new-object Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentSyncOptions
Try
{
$deploymentObject = [Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentManager]::CreateObject($provider, $sourceLocation)
$deploymentObject.SyncTo($provider,$destLocation,$destBaseOptions,$syncOptions)
}
Catch
{
echo "EXCEPTION THROWN::[ $_ ] "
#throw $_
}
}
Sync-Provider ("apphostConfig","D:\NerdDinner_2.0\NerdDinner","c:\inetpub\wwwroot")
Running this gives the following exception
EXCEPTION THROWN::[ Cannot convert argument "0", with value: "System.Object[]",
for "CreateObject" to type "Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentWellKnownProvid
er": "Cannot convert value "apphostConfig,D:\NerdDinner_2.0\Ne

Could you give me some hints on this, please?
Try to enclose the first parameter [Microsoft.Web.Deployment]::DeploymentWellKnownProvider.AppHostConfig with a pair of extra parenthesis: ([Microsoft.Web.Deployment]::DeploymentWellKnownProvider.AppHostConfig).
In my case I had the same problem, just opened the powershell console as Administrator and it worked.
