Comparing Services with Powershell

Compare-Object is one of the most widely ignored most powerful cmdlet around. It can compare results and figure out differences. For example, if you’d like to know the differences in service configuration between two machines, here’s the simple solution:

 

$pc1=Get-Service-ComputerNameserver1
$pc2=Get-Service-ComputerNameserver2

Compare-Object$pc1$pc2-PropertyName, Status-PassThru|
    Sort-Object-PropertyName  |
    Select-Object-PropertyMachineName, Name, Status

This sample code assumes that you do have permissions to retrieve the services remotely from server1 and server2. This is just a sample to get you going with Compare-Object. You can compare anything, including folder content or information retrieved by WMI.

Map Network Drive with Powershell

Sure you can use the command net use to map a network drive. But this would not check for existing mapped drives. Here’s a small function that first checks to see that the URL you are mapping to does not yet exist, avoiding duplicate mapped drives:

 

functionNew-MapDrive {
param($Path)

    $present= @(Get-WmiObjectWin32_Networkconnection|
       Select-Object-ExpandPropertyRemoteName)

    if ($present-contains$Path) {
“Network connection to
$Path is already present”
    } else {
netuse*$Path
    }
}

This message is to inform you that the solution for Service Request ID 1-365450963 has been delivered.

SR Solution: Officescan server is designed to enumerate client files (a pre-defined list hardcoded in codes) and check digital signatures of the files and if any file has invalid digital signature or no digital signature, it will Rename/move the corrupt files.

The reported issue is caused by 10.6 GM DWIoTrapNT.dll’s digital signature is invalid. The Code signing certificate for this file expired on 16/02/2012 . Hence Officescan server renames it to *._invalid.

The issue is currently being handled by the product developement team and will be fixed by a hotfix to be released soon.

ETA for the related hotfix is 29-Feb , 2012

Use WMI and WQL!

PowerTip of the Day, from PowerShell.com:

WMI is a great information resource, and Get-WmiObject makes it easy to retrieve WMI instances. First, use -List parameter to find WMI class names. For example, find classes that deal with network:

Get-WmiObject-ListWin32_*network*

Next, pick one of the classes and enumerate its instances:

Get-WmiObjectWin32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration

With WQL, a SQL-type query language for WMI, you can even create more sophisticated queries, such as:

Get-WmiObject-Query‘Select * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WHERE IPEnabled=True’
