How would I use get-itemproperty remotely?

jwhite — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 05:00:00 GMT

I have a foreach loop. And what I want to do is get a reg key value from each server in that loop. I have something like this:

$serverlist = get-exchangeserver blah blah

foreach ($server in $serverlist){

get-itemproperty -path "hklm:\..\.."

}

However im returning the value for only the computer im on, any thought on how I could get all the servers?

Cheers.

Run a test-mailflow within the invoke-command?

jwhite — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 05:00:00 GMT

I'm trying to run the test-mailflow cmdlet, within the invoke-command cmdlet. I'm on a Client Access Server and I can issue the test-mapiconnectivity cmdlet against a user. However in order to run the test-mailflow cmdlet, I need to be on the mailbox server that the user is on.

I'm referencing this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849719.aspx

The problem is I keep getting the error:

A variable that cannot be referenced in restricted language mode or a Data section is being referenced. Variables that
can be referenced include the following: $PSCulture, $PSUICulture, $true, $false, and $null.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (data:Token) [], ParseException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : VariableReferenceNotSupportedInDataSection

Anyone know what I'm missing or how I can get the invoke-command to run the mailflow test remotely?

Cheers.

Specify multiple event id's in event logs..

jwhite — Tue, 29 May 2012 05:00:00 GMT

I'm trying to verify transport backpressure and want to display it in a nice format. For some reason I cna't get the columns to be closer together, also want to filter by the event id's mentioned below instead of the details in the message.

Im using the following syntax:

Can anyone help me here?

$time = new-timespan -hours 1

Get-WinEvent -ComputerName $server -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -FilterHashtable @{Logname='application';Providername='Msexchangetransport';Message='The resource pressure'} |?{$_.timecreated -eq "$time"} | select Timecreated,ProviderName,EventID,Message | FT Values -autosize -wrap

Instead of specifying the details of the message in the events I want to filter by event id's : 15004,15005,15006, and 15007.

Matching a send connector to a next hop queue?

jwhite — Tue, 01 May 2012 05:00:00 GMT

If I run a get-queue in exchange 2010 I see all the queues and the next hop that those queues are going too. What im wanting to be able to do is match the queue to the send connector its using.

SO basically like, queue1 is trying to connect to mail.company.com and the next hop to get to mail.company.com is using address 10.10.10.1, as an example.

If you run the get-queue you see the nexthopdomain that its going to. How would I show the specific send-connector that that queue is using.

Example like 10.10.10.1 is using send connector gateway-internet. If I run a get-sendconnector is will see what send connectors are providing transport to the specific addresses. I basically want to show them together, any thoughts??

Re: How do I use Invoke-Command correctly?

jwhite — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 06:00:00 GMT

Ok I got the command to work, turns outs that when you use -connectionuri you have to specify http://fqdn of the server/powershell when running a remote powershell command. However I have a new challenge.

I have two variables: $domainid and $server. $domainid has the fqdn suffix of the server, like company.com

$server has the server name like server01.

Is there a way to append the two variables together so that each server in the list has the fqdn appened to it. Like for example, server01.company.com and server02.company.com. Basically I want to create a third variable that appends the fqdn to each server so that when you type in third variable you get:

$variable3:

server01.company.com

server02.company.com

What I want to do is call the third variable with -connectionuri http://.. Any thoughts??

How do I use Invoke-Command correctly?

jwhite — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 06:00:00 GMT

Im trying to run the command test-outlookconnectivity -protocol:tcp or http -trustanysslcert:$true. I'm wanting to run it on a remote machine as if I were on the machine, and have the output returned to the screen of the local machine.

As stated in this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd347578.aspx, i tried to use the invoke-command. My syntax looks like this:

Invoke-command -comuptername <sever name> -scriptblock {test-outlookconnectivity ....} -authentication Kerberos. However I got this error:

"Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot process the request. The following error occured while using Kerberos authentication: The network path was not found."

Anyone got any idea what im doing wrong? I have permissions to run the cmd on both machines and I can also successfully ping the remote machine.?? Thanks.

Re: Add event logs to a transcript!

jwhite — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 06:00:00 GMT

Ok so I was doing some further digging and realized that when a file in in use by start-transcript, that file appears to become locked from use by any other cmdlets. So what I did was this:

start-transcript output file is C:\transcript.txt

Run cmdlet, run test

stop-transcript

get-eventlog >> C:\transcript.

By doing this it appends the get-eventlog to the transcript file. That is what I have found so far.

Re: Add event logs to a transcript!

jwhite — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 06:00:00 GMT

Yes so I added the -append switch to the start-transcript. Also did a >> with get-eventlog so it would append that info to the info in the transcript. Problem is that it's throwing the error "unable to access the file as another person or process is all ready using it". So how would I get the info from get-eventlog to add its info to the file from the transcript. Bascially im wanting to have the entire shell session logged into the transcript and also any application events as well. ANy thoughts..?

Cheers.

Add event logs to a transcript!

jwhite — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:00:00 GMT

I added the transcript option to my script. Using the start-transcript. What I want is to have event logs to be added into the transcrpt. I know you can use get-eventlog -logname application... But I want to add specific logged events into the transcript. Like,

start-transcript -append eventlogs, something like that. Any thoughts?

Cheers.
