Power shell script to get states for app pool - powershell

help me to rewrite PowerShell script to get the status for IIS app pool on windows 7 and windows 2008 (IIS6).
function Get-AppPool {
[CmdletBinding()]
param
(
[string[]]$Server,
[String]$Pool
)
#region loadAssembly
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.Web.Administration')
#endregion loadAssembly
foreach ($s in $server)
{
$sm = [Microsoft.Web.Administration.ServerManager]::OpenRemote($s)
$apppools = $sm.ApplicationPools["$pool"]
$status = $apppools.state
$info = #{
'Pool Name'=$pool;
'Status'=$status;
'Server'=$S;
}
Write-Output (New-Object –Typename PSObject –Prop $info)
}
}

If you only need to get the state of an application pool from the current machine, try this:
Import-Module WebAdministration
Get-WebAppPoolState -Name 'DefaultAppPool'

Set a variable equal to the output of a powershell script

This is a little difficult to explain, but I will do my best. I am writing some code to import AD contacts to users' mailboxes through EWS using Powershell.
I have a Main.ps1 file that calls all the other scripts that do work in the background (for example 1 imports the AD modules) another imports O365 modules.
I have 1 script container that connect to EWS. The code looks like this:
#CONFIGURE ADMIN CREDENTIALS
$userUPN = "User#domain.com"
$AESKeyFilePath = ($pwd.ProviderPath) + "\ConnectToEWS\aeskey.txt"
$SecurePwdFilePath = ($pwd.ProviderPath) + "\ConnectToEWS\password.txt"
$AESKey = Get-Content -Path $AESKeyFilePath -Force
$securePass = Get-Content -Path $SecurePwdFilePath -Force | ConvertTo-SecureString -Key $AESKey
#create a new psCredential object with required username and password
$adminCreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($userUPN, $securePass)
Try
{
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("\\MBX-Server\c$\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange\Web Services\2.2\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll") | Out-Null
$service = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeService([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeVersion]::Exchange2013_SP1)
$service.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.WebCredentials($userUPN,$adminCreds.GetNetworkCredential().Password)
$service.Url = new-object Uri("https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx");
return $service
}
Catch
{
Write-Output "Unable to connect to EWS. Make sure the path to the DLL or URL is correct"
}
The output of that code prints out the Service connection, but I want the information for that output stored in a variable such as $service.
Then I would pass that variable to another script that binds to the mailbox I want...
The problem I am having is $service doesn't seem to be storing that information. It only print it out once when I return it from the script above, but it doesn't append that information in the main script. When I print out $service it prints out once, but then it clears itself.
Here is my main script
CLS
#Root Path
$rootPath = $pwd.ProviderPath #$PSScriptRoot #$pwd.ProviderPath
Write-Host "Importing all necessary modules."
#******************************************************************
# PREREQUISITES
#******************************************************************
#Nuget - Needed for O365 Module to work properly
if(!(Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name NuGet))
{
#Install NuGet (Prerequisite) first
Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Scope CurrentUser -Force -Confirm:$False
}
#******************************************************************
#Connect w\ Active Directory Module
& $rootPath\AD-Module\AD-module.ps1
#Load the O365 Module
& $rootPath\O365-Module\O365-module.ps1
#Clear screen after loading all the modules/sessions
CLS
#******************************************************************
# PUT CODE BELOW
#******************************************************************
#GLOBAL VARIABLES
$global:FolderName = $MailboxToConnect = $Service = $NULL
#Connect to EWS
& $rootPath\ConnectToEWS\ConnectToEWS.ps1
#Debug
$Service
#Create the Contacts Folder
& $rootPath\CreateContactsFolder\CreateContactsFolder.ps1
#Debug
$service
$ContactsFolder
#Clean up Sessions after use
if($NULL -ne (Get-PSSession))
{
Remove-PSSession *
}
[GC]::Collect()
The first time I output the $service variable, it prints fine. In the 2nd Debug output it doesn't print out anymore, and I believe that it why the script is failing when I launch "CreateContactsFolder.ps1"
Here is the content of "CreateContactsFolder.ps1"

{
$service.ImpersonatedUserId = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ImpersonatedUserId([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ConnectingIdType]::SmtpAddress, $MailboxToConnect);

Start-Sleep -Seconds $rnd
$tries = $tries - 1

}
return $ContactsFolder
In the Main script, capture the returned variable from the EWS script like
$service = & $rootPath\ConnectToEWS\ConnectToEWS.ps1
Or dot-source that script into the Main script, so the variables from EWS.ps1 are local to the Main script, so you don't need to do return $service in there:
. $rootPath\ConnectToEWS\ConnectToEWS.ps1
and do the same for the CreateContactsFolder.ps1 script
OR
define the important variables in the called scripts with a global scope $global:service and $global:ContactsFolder

Moving computer to another OU in OSD with PowerShell

I am having a lot of trouble getting this code to work in a TS environment.
From a Windows environment, it works great. Just about any variation you will find with a google search of this code works fine in Windows. However in a Task Sequence these variations just produce different error messages for why the computer can't be moved.
Unspecified Error
The specified domain either doesn't exist or couldn't be contacted
Instance of an object not set to an object
I feel that something is happening when we get to the psbase.MoveTo() method call. Up to that point, it can print something out that looks like a reasonable object. In other words, they aren't null or something.
Then psbase.MoveTo() says no.
Example code.
$logFile = "MoveComputerLog.txt"
# Domain Credentials
$account = "domain\osdaccount"
$password = "thepassword"
function logMessage {
param ([string]$logstring)
Write-Host $logstring
Add-content $logFile -value $logstring
}
$computerName = "COMPUTERNAME"
logMessage "computerName: $computerName"
$root = "LDAP://sweet.domain.com"
$domain = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry($root, $account, $password)
$search = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher($domain)
$search.filter = "(&(objectClass=computer)(name=$computerName))"
$result = $search.findall()
$computerDN = $result.Properties.Item("DistinguishedName")
logMessage "DN: $computerDn"
$computer = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://$computerDN", $account, $password)
logMessage "Computer: $computer"
$destination = "LDAP://ou=here,ou=goes,ou=it,dc=sweet,dc=domain,dc=com"
$ou = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry($destination, $account, $password)
try {
# "The specified domain couldn't be connected or doesn't exist."
$computer.psbase.MoveTo($ou.Path)
} catch {
Write-Host "Encountered error while moving $computerName"
logMessage $error[0]
}
Here is the definition, ADSI is important:
PS C:\> $computer.psbase.MoveTo
OverloadDefinitions
-------------------
void MoveTo(adsi newParent)
void MoveTo(adsi newParent, string newName)
You can try this, rigth after $result = $search.findall() :
$computer = [ADSI]$result.path
$computer.psbase.Moveto( [ADSI]LDAP://ou=here,ou=goes,ou=it,dc=sweet,dc=domain,dc=com )

PowerShell - Lambda Functions Not Executing

This lambda function executes as expected:
$WriteServerName = {
param($server)
Write-Host $server
}
$server = "servername"
$WriteServerName.invoke($server)
servername
However, using the same syntax, the following script prompts for credentials and then exits to the command line (running like this: .\ScriptName.ps1 -ConfigFile Chef.config), implying that the lambda functions aren't executing properly (for testing, each should just output the server name).
Why does the former lambda function return the server name, but the ones in the script don't?
Param(
$ConfigFile
)
Function Main {
#Pre-reqs: get credential, load config from file, and define lambda functions.
$jobs = #()
$Credential = Get-Credential
$Username = $Credential.username
$ConvertedPassword = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($Credential.password)
$Password = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto($ConvertedPassword)
$Config = Get-Content $ConfigFile -Raw | Out-String | Invoke-Expression
#Define lambda functions
$BootStrap = {
param($Server)
write-host $server
}
$RunChefClient = {
param($Server)
write-host $server
}
$SetEnvironment = {
param($Server)
write-host $server
}
#Create bootstrap job for each server and pass lambda functions to Scriptblock for execution.
if(($Username -ne $null) -and ($Password -ne $null))
{
ForEach($HashTable in $Config)
{
$Server = $HashTable.Server
$Roles = $HashTable.Roles
$Tags = $HashTable.Tags
$Environment = $HashTable.Environment
$ScriptBlock = {
param ($Server,$BootStrap,$RunChefClient,$SetEnvironment)
$BootStrap.invoke($Server)
$RunChefClient.invoke($Server)
$SetEnvironment.invoke($Server)
}
$Jobs += Start-Job -ScriptBlock $ScriptBlock -ArgumentList #($Server,$BootStrap,$RunChefClient,$SetEnvironment)
}
}
else {Write-Host "Username or password is missing, exiting..." -ForegroundColor Red; exit}
}
Main
Without testing, I am going to go ahead and say it's because you are putting your scriptblock executions in PowerShell Jobs and then not doing anything with them. When you start a job, it starts a new PowerShell instance and executes the code you give it along with the parameters you give it. Once it completes, the completed PSRemotingJob object sits there and does nothing until you actually do something with it.
In your code, all the jobs you start are assigned to the $Jobs variable. You can also get all your running jobs with Get-Job:
Get-Job -State Running
If you want to get any of the data returned from your jobs, you'll have to use Receive-Job
# Either
$Jobs | Receive-Job
# Or
Get-Job -State Running | Receive-Job

Set Time limit for Get-process

Long story short, we are experiencing issues with some of our servers that cause crippling effects on them and I am looking for a way to monitor them, now I have a script that will check the RDP port to make sure that it is open and I am thinking that I want to use get-service and then I will return if it pulled any data or not.
Here is the issue I don't know how to limit the time it will wait for a response before returning false.
[bool](Get-process -ComputerName MYSERVER)
Although I like Ansgars answer with a time-limited job, I think a separate Runspace and async invocation fits this task better.
The major difference here being that a Runspace reuses the in-process thread pool, whereas the PSJob method launches a new process, with the overhead that that entails, such as OS/kernel resources spawning and managing a child process, serializing and deserializing data etc.
Something like this:
function Timeout-Statement {
param(
[scriptblock[]]$ScriptBlock,
[object[]]$ArgumentList,
[int]$Timeout
)
$Runspace = [runspacefactory]::CreateRunspace()
$Runspace.Open()
$PS = [powershell]::Create()
$PS.Runspace = $Runspace
$PS = $PS.AddScript($ScriptBlock)
foreach($Arg in $ArgumentList){
$PS = $PS.AddArgument($Arg)
}
$IAR = $PS.BeginInvoke()
if($IAR.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne($Timeout)){
$PS.EndInvoke($IAR)
}
return $false
}
Then use that to do:
$ScriptBlock = {
param($ComputerName)
Get-Process #PSBoundParameters
}
$Timeout = 2500 # 2 and a half seconds (2500 milliseconds)
Timeout-Statement $ScriptBlock -ArgumentList "mycomputer.fqdn" -Timeout $Timeout
You could run your check as a background job:
$sb = { Get-Process -ComputerName $args[0] }
$end = (Get-Date).AddSeconds(5)
$job = Start-Job -ScriptBlock $sb -ArgumentList 'MYSERVER'
do {
Start-Sleep 100
$finished = (Get-Job -Id $job.Id).State -eq 'Completed'
} until ($finished -or (Get-Date) -gt $end)
if (-not $finished) {
Stop-Job -Id $job.Id
}
Receive-Job $job.Id
Remove-Job $job.Id
This is a known issue: https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/645165/add-timeout-parameter-to-get-wmiobject
There is a workaround provided Here : https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/645165/add-timeout-parameter-to-get-wmiobject
Function Get-WmiCustom([string]$computername,[string]$namespace,[string]$class,[int]$timeout=15)
{
$ConnectionOptions = new-object System.Management.ConnectionOptions
$EnumerationOptions = new-object System.Management.EnumerationOptions
$timeoutseconds = new-timespan -seconds $timeout
$EnumerationOptions.set_timeout($timeoutseconds)
$assembledpath = "\\" + $computername + "\" + $namespace
#write-host $assembledpath -foregroundcolor yellow
$Scope = new-object System.Management.ManagementScope $assembledpath, $ConnectionOptions
$Scope.Connect()
$querystring = "SELECT * FROM " + $class
#write-host $querystring
$query = new-object System.Management.ObjectQuery $querystring
$searcher = new-object System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher
$searcher.set_options($EnumerationOptions)
$searcher.Query = $querystring
$searcher.Scope = $Scope
trap { $_ } $result = $searcher.get()
return $result
}
You can call the function like this:
get-wmicustom -class Win32_Process -namespace "root\cimv2" -computername MYSERVER –timeout 1

Check for net.tcp binding in PowerShell

I am configuring a process that checks IIS settings on a Web Server for net.tcp bindings for a particual Web Site, and if it does not exist, create it. I have this chunk of code to check
$Websites = Get-ChildItem IIS:\Sites
foreach ($Site in $Websites) {
if ($Site.name -eq "LOSSI") {
$Binding = $Site.bindings
foreach ($bind in $Binding.collection) {
if ($bind -eq "net.tcp 443:*")
{
Write-Host $bind
}
}
}
}
But I never fall into the last conditional. I have validated by hand that the binding is set to
LOSSI
3
Started
D:\LOSSI
http *:63211: net.tcp 443:
I imagine I am doing something silly wrong, but I cannot figure it out. Is there an easier way to check a website for tcp binding?
