You already set $ldapSearch.Filter = $envFilter so you don't need to call FindAll by passing in the filter again. Try doing this instead as your very last line of code, as it will still have your filter built into it:
$result = $ldapSearch.FindAll()
I think it's a typo:
$ldapEntry = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry(
**$ldapUR**, $null, $null,
[System.DirectoryServices.AuthenticationTypes]::Anonymous

Try
$ldapURI
instead of

I am getting the following error when I try to get a Listview of Applications in Powershell

Do I need to add a null variable such as if($SubItem -ne $null){$Item.SubItems.Add($SubItem)} ?
I am working on PowerShell scripts. I have two scripts in those scripts I am connecting with two Azure Analysis Servers one by one. And these scripts are calling by the main script. I am getting errors
"Exception calling "Connect" with "1" argument(s): "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
My Scripts code is below
Child1.ps1

$envName1,

$loadInfo1 = [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.AnalysisServices")
$server1 = New-Object Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Server

My AzureAnalysis Services dll version is 13.0.4495.10. I am sharing this info, may be it can be a issue.
It seems Invoke-Expression is not passing the param envName1. I would rather call the child script normally like below:
$Obj1 = &"C:\Users\User1\Desktop\test1.ps1" -envName1 "asazure://aspaaseastus2.asazure.windows.net/mydevaas" -toBeDisconnect1 No | select -Last 1
$Obj2 = &"C:\Users\User1\Desktop\test2.ps1" -envName2 "asazure://aspaaseastus2.asazure.windows.net/myuataas" -toBeDisconnect2 No | select -Last 1
$command = "C:\Users\User1\Desktop\test1.ps1 –envName1 asazure://aspaaseastus2.asazure.windows.net/mydevaas -toBeDisconnect1 No"
Look closely at the hyphen before envName1. It's actually – (en-dash) instead of - (hyphen). That's the reason envName1 is not being passed. The second param toBeDisconnect1 has it correct.
How to know the difference? - (hyphen) is shorter than – (en-dash) :)
I would like to create a program in PowerShell to upload files to Sharepoint on schedule (using Task Scheduler)
I was looking for solution and I found this interesting article.
Based on this I wrote this script below:
Import-Module Microsoft.Online.Sharepoint.Powershell -DisableNameChecking;
(System.Reflection.Assembly)::LoadWithPartialName("System.IO.MemoryStream")
Clear-Host
$cred = Get-Credential "emailaddress#domain.com"
$credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($cred.Username, $cred.Password)
$clientContext = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext("https://")
$clientCOntext.Credentials = $credentials
if (!$clientContext.ServerObjectIsNull.Value) {Write-host "Connected to site" -ForegroundColor Green}
Function UploadFileToLibrary(){
$docLib - $clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("IT Documents");
$clientContext.Load($docLib);
$clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
$rootFolder = $docLib.RootFolder
$Folder = "\\10.x.x.x\xpbuild$\IT\Level0\scresult\Upload";
$FilesInRoot = Get-ChildItem - Path $Folder | ? {$_.psIsContainer -eq $False}
Foreach ($File in ($FilesInRoot))
{
$startDTM = (Get-Date)
}Write-Host "Uploading File" $File.Name "to" $docLib.Title -ForegroundColor Blue
UploadFile $rootFolder $File $false
$endDTM = (Get-Date)
Write-Host "Total Elapsed Time : $(($endDTM-$startDTM).totalseconds) seconds"
}
Function UploadFile ($SPListFolder, $File, $CheckInRequired){
$FileStream = New-Object IO.FileStream($File.FullName,[System.IO.FileMode]::Open)
$FileCreationInfo = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FileCreationInformation
$FileCreationInfo.Overwrite = $True
$FileCreationInfo.ContentStream = $FileStream
$FileCreationInfo.Url = $File
$UploadedFile = $SPListFolder.Files.Add($FileCreationInfo)
If($CheckInRequired){
$clientContext.Load($UploadedFile)
$clientContext.ExecuteQuery()
If($uploadedFile.CheckOutType -ne "none"){
$UploadedFile.CheckIn("Checked in by Administrator", [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CheckinType]::MajorCheckIn)
}
}
$clientContext.Load($UploadedFile)
$clientContext.ExecuteQuery()
}
UploadFileToLibrary
When I tried to execute this I see that connection is active but I got an error:
Method invocation failed because [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.List] does not contain a method named 'op_Subtraction'.

I cannot tell if any new problem occur once you fix that one, but given that the 2nd and 3rd error is caused by incorrect assignment of $docLib variable, changing - to =should resolve these three:
HERE |
$docLib = $clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("IT Documents");
# Below uses $docLib so it cannot be executed properly unless $docLib is assigned correct value
$clientContext.Load($docLib);
# And below fails as the above is not executed successfully
$clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Below is my code, I have tried making the object a global variable as well but that doesn't seem to help. Doing += syntax gives the same error as .add() syntax.
foreach ($x in $groups_data) {
$group_name = $x.targetName
$group_shifts_path = "$base/api/xm/1/groups/$group_name/shifts"
$group_shifts_req = Invoke-WebRequest -Credential $cred -Uri $group_shifts_path
$group_shifts_res = ConvertFrom-Json $group_shifts_req.Content
$group_shifts_data = $group_shifts_res.data
foreach ($y in $group_shifts_data) {
$shift_name = $y.name
$shift_id = $y.id
$group_info = #{
'group_name' = $group_name
'offending_shifts' = #{}
}
$group_info = $group_info | ConvertTo-Json
$group_shift_members_path = "$group_shifts_path/$shift_id/members"
$group_shift_members_req = Invoke-WebRequest -Credential $cred -Uri $group_shift_members_path
$group_shift_members_res = ConvertFrom-Json $group_shift_members_req.Content
$group_shift_members_data = $group_shift_members_res.data
foreach ($z in $group_shift_members_data) {
if ($z.recipient.recipientType -ne 'PERSON') {
$group_info.offending_shifts += $shift_name # HERE'S MY ISSUE
break
}
}
}
}
There error I am getting is the following:
The property 'offending_shifts' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the
property exists and can be set.

Why can't I access this property?
I am in need of checkingh a larger number of word documents (doc & docx) for a specific text and found a great tutorial and script by the Scripting Guys;
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/heyscriptingguy/2012/08/01/find-all-word-documents-that-contain-a-specific-phrase/
The script reads all documents in a directory and gives the following output;
Number of times mentioned
Total word count in all documents where the specific text is found
The directory of all files containing the specific text.
This is all I need, however their code doesn't seem to actually check the headers of any document, which incidentally is where the specific text I'm looking for is located. Any tips & tricks in making the script read header text would make me very happy.
An alternative solution might be to remove the formatting so that the header text becomes part of the rest of the document? Is this possible?
Edit: Forgot to link the script:

EDIT 2: My colleague got the idea to call on the section header instead;
Foreach ($doc in $docs)
{
Write-Progress -Activity "Processing files" -status "Processing $($doc.FullName)" -PercentComplete ($i /$docs.Count * 100)
$document = $application.documents.open($doc.FullName)
# Load first section of the document
$section = $doc.sections.item(1);
# Load header
$header = $section.headers.Item(1);
# Set the range to be searched to only Header
$range = $header.content
$null = $range.movestart()
$wordFound = $range.find.execute($findText,$matchCase,
$matchWholeWord,$matchWildCards,$matchSoundsLike,
$matchAllWordForms,$forward,$wrap,$Format)
if($wordFound) [script continues as above]
But this is met with the following errors:

Is this the right way to go or is it a dead end?
if you want the header text, you can try the following:
$document.content.Sections.First.Headers.Item(1).range.text
For anyone looking at this question in the future: Something isn't quite working with my code above. It seems to return a false positive and puts $wordFound = 1 regardless of the content of the document thus listing all documents found under $path.
Editing the variables within Find.Execute doesn't seem to change the outcome of $wordFound. I believe the problem might be found in my $range, as it is the only place I get errors in while going through the code step by step.
