Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Why does powershell give different result in one-liner than two-liner when converting JSON? Overview From a powershell 3 prompt,, I want to call a RESTful service, get some JSON, and pretty-print it. I discovered that if I convert the data to a powershell object, and then convert the powershell object back to json, I get back a nice pretty-printed string. However, if I combine the two conversions into a one-liner with a pipe I will get a different result. TL;DR: this: PS> $psobj = $orig | ConvertFrom-JSON PS> $psobj | ConvertTo-JSON ... gives me different result than this: PS> $orig | ConvertFrom-JSON | ConvertTo-JSON Original data [ { "Type": "1", "Name": "QA" }, { "Type": "2", "Name": "whatver" } ] Doing the conversion in two steps I'm going to remove the whitespace (so it fits on one line...), convert it to a powershell object, and then...

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How do I suppress my event-handling function from emitting unwanted text? I have a PowerShell script that composes a WinForms UI.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Powershell comparing two List with foreach I'm trying to compare two lists that I obtained with the Get-ChildItem cmdlet. Get-ChildItem I read about the Compare-Object cmdlet, but in this context I would prefer doing with a foreach because is useful to have access to the $file variable.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Get unique values We're trying to optimize some code that removes duplicates from an Array as fast as possible. Normally this can be easily done by piping the input to Group-Object and then using only the Name property. But we would like to avoid the pipeline, as it is slower. Array Group-Object Name However, we tried the following code: [System.Collections.ArrayList]$uniqueFrom = @() $From = @('A', 'A', 'B') $From.Where({-not ($uniqueFrom.Contains($_))}).ForEach({ $uniqueFrom.Add($_) }) $uniqueFrom In theory, this should work. But for one reason or another the output is not the expected @('A', 'B') . Why is it not reevaluating the ArrayList in the .where clause? @('A', 'B') ArrayList .where Why so complicated? $uniqueFrom = @($From | Select-Object -Unique) – Ansgar Wiechers 2 hours ago ...

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to get the key of all the Azure Services in same way through powershell I am trying to develop a PowerShell script for getting the key using Invoke-AzureRmResourceAction command of different Azure services, like below Invoke-AzureRmResourceAction $keyValue=Invoke-AzureRmResourceAction -Action listKeys -ResourceId $ResourceId -force The problem is, I am getting the key to different services in a different way. Like for storage account, I have to write $keyValue.keys[0].value for getting the 1st key value. But for cognitive service, I have to write $keyValue.key1 . Is there any way to generalized it so that same thing works for all the services in Azure which has the s key. $keyValue.keys[0].value $keyValue.key1 1 Answer 1 I think you could not access it via the same command.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Powershell select statement forEach($subscription in Get-AzureRmSubscription) { Select-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionId $subscription.Id | Out-Null Get-AzurermVM -Status | select $subscription.Name, ResourceGroupName, Name, PowerState | ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Delimiter "|"} I'm trying to return the results of this query, but it does not include the subscription name in the results. It shows it in the table header, but not in each line of the results. It should show it on every line, but it is blank for the first column on each row. I'm guessing this has to do with the subscription variable not being apart of the -Status properties, but it shows it in the table header? 1 Answer 1 If you want to include a static value as a property of the custom objects output by the Select-Object cmdlet ( select is a built-in alias name), you must u...

I was looking for a powershell script that could accomplish the following: Is having only one column in excel with the samAccountName sufficient for the csv, or do i need to also have all of the users givenName as well inside of the csv??

I have about 500 users that I would have to do this for, and we are doing it manually right now, So the only thing that I need changed is adding the “XX” before the users givenNames….

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Displaying the Next Available Number in a sequence Our organisation renames all new computers before they join our domain and I am trying to create a script to display the next available number. So, our naming convention is as follows Example: GBYOR-DT1 GB - YOR - DT - 1 [Country] [City] [Desktop] [Number] However my predecessor thought to number these in no logical order and that just isn't happening on my watch. (Did someone say OCD?) Currently I run Get-ADComputer -Filter * | where{$_.Name -Like "GBYOR-DT*" | FL Name | Export-CSV -Path "X Location" I then go into Excel, split the cells and the sort numerically. What I would like is to create a script that just shows me the next available number. For example, as it currently stands, we have X number of machines, one is GBYOR-DT4, another is GBYOR-DT245 but there is no GBYOR-DT15. I would like to script this so that when I run it, it will look at all...
