I have the script below that lets me switch between the different elements and runs the functions in them one by one.
But what I need to do now is make it so I can select multiple ones and have them run and pause between them to verifiy if things were loaded correctly. So that way I don't run into the issue having to re rerun the full script again and redo the same one over.
Can anybody show me how to do this? I am lost as to how to get this completed and working properly.

If you got at least V3, you can use Out-GridView with -OutPutMode Multiple as a menu to select multiple items from:
$Menu = 'TV30','TV30BP','TV30LM','TV30PV','LT101','XR2','MU11','SAP','ALL'
$Choices = $Menu | Out-GridView -OutputMode Multiple -Title 'Select Locations you want to run staging, and click OK.'
Switch ($Choices)
{
.....
The quick answer is that Powershell's switch statement accepts an array for input. If you leave out the break statement at the end of each switch case it will execute each case that is a match. Enter your choices as a comma-separated list and put them into an array using the split statement.
Each choice in you $Choices array will be executed. If you put a Pause statement where your break statements are you can pause at the completion of each step.
$Choices = #('TV30','MU11')
switch ($Choices)
{
'TV30' {some code}
'TV30BP' {some code}
'MU11' {some code}
}

I'm struggling with the below code. Want to delete a file that is on SFTP. Unable to understand how to accomplish this -
$UserName = 'test'
$SecurePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String '3ea5e#9dkdadfsfwC' -AsPlainText -Force
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $UserName, $SecurePassword
$Session = New-SFTPSession -ComputerName 'sftp.test.com' -Credential $Cred
$result = Remove-Item -LiteralPath "\\?sftp://test#sftp.test.com/export/home/dmsmaster/stms/PF/Working_Titles_Primary.csv" -Force
Used the following code to make it work -
$result = Remove-SFTPItem -path "/export/home/dmsmaster/stms/PF/Working_Titles_Primary.csv" -SFTPSession $Session -Force
In the below code, $Result variable has the following information. I need to iterate below each line in $Result variable and get the <APPPOOL NAME> that is, "DefaultAppPool","Classic .NET AppPool" & ".NET v2.0 Classic" as an input to the second Invoke-Command saved in $Result2. Please advise how this can be accomplished.
$Result output:
APPPOOL "DefaultAppPool" (MgdVersion:v4.0,MgdMode:Integrated,state:Started)
APPPOOL "Classic .NET AppPool" (MgdVersion:v2.0,MgdMode:Classic,state:Started)
APPPOOL ".NET v2.0 Classic" (MgdVersion:v2.0,MgdMode:Classic,state:Started)
$Username = '<username>'
$Password = '<Password>'
$pass = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText $Password -Force
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $Username, $pass
$input_file_path = "servers.txt"
$output_path = "result.txt"
foreach ($server in Get-Content $input_file_path) {
$Result = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $server -Credential $Cred -ScriptBlock {
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe list apppools
}
$Result | Add-Content $output_path
$Result2 = Invoke-Command -ComputerName #server -Credential $Cred -ScriptBlock {
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe list apppools <APPPOOL NAME> /text:processmodel.username
}
}
I'm having issues passing parameters to Invoke-Command, I've tried using -Args and -ArgumentList to no avail.
function One {
$errcode = $args
$username = "Ron"
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "Baxter" -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $password
$cred
$Result = Invoke-Command -ComputerName MyPc -ScriptBlock { & cmd.exe /c "C:\Scripts\test.bat" Param1 $errcode ; $lastexitcode} -Credential $cred
echo $result
}

You can update your function to pass in your parameter as $errcode rather than using $args, this is better code as it's less confusing. (I'd recommend readng up on parameters and functions as it'll certainly help)
Then you need to pass $errcode into Invoke-Command using the ArgumentList parameter, and use $args[0] in its place:
function One ($errcode) {
$username = "Ron"
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "Baxter" -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $password
$Result = Invoke-Command -ComputerName MyPc -ScriptBlock { & cmd.exe /c "C:\Scripts\test.bat" Param1 $args[0] ; $lastexitcode} -Credential $cred -ArgumentList $errcode
echo $Result
}

Hi all I'm trying to pass server login credentials to my 'createSQLServer function but keep hitting the error 'Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'creds'.userName'' I've tried a lot of different, even tried with a 'param block' but stull stuck. A push in the right direction would be appreciated, cheers.
###### SQL SERVER LOGIN CREDENTIALS
$userName = "aaron"
$password = "Password_1234"
$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -AsPlainText -Force

You need to use your named parameters!
Here's a snippet of your first few parameters:
...
[string]$server1
,
[string]$server2
,
[string]$server3
,
[System.Management.Automation.PSCredential]$creds
...
And then the ones you're passing in to the function call
createSQLserver $server1 $username $password $securePassword ...
So because you're not using the names of your parameters, they are using their relative ordinal position i.e.
param | value
---------+----------------
$server1 | $server1
$server2 | $username
$server3 | $password
$creds | $securePassword
So what have we learned?
Always use named parameters!
createSQLserver -server1 $server1 -username $username -password $password -securePassword $securePassword
That should sort you out :-)
I wrote a simple powershell script to modify hosts file on remote machines but something goes wrong.
Script:
param(
[string]$value
)
$username = 'username'
$password = 'password'
$hosts = "172.28.30.45","172.28.30.46"
$pass = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText $password -Force
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $username,$pass
ForEach ($x in $hosts){
echo "Write in $x , value: $value"
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $x -ScriptBlock {Add-Content -Path "C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" -Value $value} -Credential $cred
echo "Finish writing."
}
echo "End of PS script."
When run, it writes a new empty line for each hosts file. This line echo "Write in $x , value: $value" displays $value value.
What I'm doing wrong?
You have to pass the parameter to the scriptblock by defining a param section within your scriptblock and pass the parameters using -ArgumentList :
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $x -ScriptBlock {
param
(
[string]$value
)
Add-Content -Path "C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" -Value $value
} -Credential $cred -ArgumentList $value
Or you leverage the using: variable prefix:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $x -ScriptBlock {
Add-Content -Path "C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" -Value $using:value
} -Credential $cred
