I am getting this error from the following code. It's coming from $Context.Load($RecycleBinItems). Any idea what's wrong with the code? I am attempting to restore all recyclebin items.
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline\3.17.2001.2\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline\3.17.2001.2\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"
Import-Module 'Microsoft.PowerShell.Security'
#Get the Site Owners Credentials to connect the SharePoint
$SiteUrl = "https://phaselinknet.sharepoint.com"
$UserName = Read-host "Enter the Email ID"
$Password = Read-host - assecurestring "Enter Password for $AdminUserName"
$Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($UserName, $Password)
# Once Connected, get the Site information using current Context objects
Try {
$Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteUrl)
$Context.Credentials = $Credentials
$Site = $Context.Site
$RecycleBinItems = $Site.RecycleBin
$Context.Load($Site)
$Context.Load($RecycleBinItems)
$Context.ExecuteQuery()
Write-Host "Total Number of Files found in Recycle Bin:" $RecycleBinItems.Count
}
catch {
write - host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" - foregroundcolor Red
}
# using for loop to restore the item one by one
Try {
if($RecycleBinItems)
{
foreach($Item in $RecycleBinItems)
{
$Site.RecycleBin.restore($Item.ID)
#Write-Host "Item restored:"$Item.Title
}
}
}
catch {
write-host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" -foregroundcolor Red
}
The error message is giving you you answer. There is not a version of the method Restore that takes 1 parameter.
You need to load up a list of items simular to this
$Item = $RecycleBin | Where{$_.Title -eq $ItemName}
Then call restore for the items.
if($Item -ne $null)
{
$Item.Restore()
}
Thanks for the tip. So I load up the first 10 items in the recyclebin, and Write-Host does write out the correct files, but the $Item.Restore() does noting as the files are still not restored:
$itemsToRestore = #()
for ($i = 0; $i -lt 10; $i++)
{
$Item = $RecycleBinItems[$i]
$itemsToRestore += $Item
}
Write-Host "Total Number of Files to Restore:" $itemsToRestore.Count
foreach($item in $itemsToRestore)
{
Write-Host "Item:" $Item.Title
$item.Restore()
}
I found the problem. I missed $Context.ExecuteQuery() after $Item.Restore(). It works now.

In the original script, I was attempting to search for a string in a text file in a running log. It worked fine however, since there is a -wait parameter in the loop, it wasn't easy to find a solution that would allow for the same script to search over multiple text files. Since then the following script was introduced to me that incorporates Runspaces:
using namespace System.Management.Automation.Runspaces
using namespace System.Threading
# get the log files here
$LogGroup = ('C:\log 0.txt', 'C:\Log 1.txt', 'C:\Log 2.txt')
# this help us write to the main log file in a thread safe manner
$lock = [SemaphoreSlim]::new(1, 1)
# define the logic used for each thread, this is very similar to the
# initial script except for the use of the SemaphoreSlim
$action = {
param($path)
$PSDefaultParameterValues = #{ "Get-Date:format" = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" }
Get-Content $path -Tail 1 -Wait | ForEach-Object {
if($_ -match 'down') {
# can I write to this file?
$lock.Wait()
try {
Write-Host "Down: $_ - $path" -ForegroundColor Green
Add-Content "path\to\mainLog.txt" -Value "$(Get-Date) Down: $_ - $path"
}
finally {
# release the lock so other threads can write to the file
$null = $lock.Release()
}
}
}
}
try {
$iss = [initialsessionstate]::CreateDefault2()
$iss.Variables.Add([SessionStateVariableEntry]::new('lock', $lock, $null))
$rspool = [runspacefactory]::CreateRunspacePool(1, $LogGroup.Count, $iss, $Host)
$rspool.ApartmentState = [ApartmentState]::STA
$rspool.ThreadOptions = [PSThreadOptions]::UseNewThread
$rspool.Open()
$res = foreach($path in $LogGroup) {
$ps = [powershell]::Create($iss).AddScript($action).AddArgument($path)
$ps.RunspacePool = $rspool
#{
Instance = $ps
AsyncResult = $ps.BeginInvoke()
}
}
# block the main thread
do {
$id = [WaitHandle]::WaitAny($res.AsyncResult.AsyncWaitHandle, 200)
}
while($id -eq [WaitHandle]::WaitTimeout)
}
finally {
# clean all the runspaces
$res.Instance.ForEach('Dispose')
$rspool.ForEach('Dispose')
}
The Runspaces allow for additional threads allowing for multitasking but I am not very skilled and I need help adding an elseif clause after an if statement. But my attempts were rewarded with the following error:
cmdlet ForEach-Object at command pipeline position 2
Supply values for the following parameters:
Process[0]:
Here’s the best I could come up with so far:
$action = {
param($path)
$PSDefaultParameterValues = #{ "Get-Date:format" = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" }
$lock.Wait()
# can I write to this file?
try {
Get-Content $path -Tail 1 -Wait | ForEach-Object
if($_ -match 'down) {
Write-Host "Down: $_ - $path" -ForegroundColor Red
Add-Content "C:\ log_down.txt" -Value "$(Get-Date) Down: $_ - $path"
}
elseif($_ -match 'up') {
Write-Host "Down: $_ - $path" -ForegroundColor Green
Add-Content "C:\ log_up.txt" -Value "$(Get-Date) up: $_ - $path"
}
$lock.Wait()
}
finally {
# release the lock so other threads can write to the file
$null = $lock.Release()
}
}
Thanks in advance for any help!
Here is the only change you need to do, below code only addresses the $action Script Block. Rest of the code should remain the same.
Make sure you're using the Full Paths of the logs.
$action = {
param($path)
$PSDefaultParameterValues = #{ "Get-Date:format" = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" }
Get-Content $path -Tail 1 -Wait | ForEach-Object {
# wait to enter the SemaphoreSlim
$lock.Wait()
try {
if($_ -match 'down') {
Write-Host "Down: $_ - $path" -ForegroundColor Red
Add-Content "C:\log_down.txt" -Value "$(Get-Date) Down: $_ - $path"
}
elseif($_ -match 'up') {
Write-Host "Up: $_ - $path" -ForegroundColor Green
Add-Content "C:\log_up.txt" -Value "$(Get-Date) up: $_ - $path"
}
# more conditions can go here
}
finally {
# release the lock so other threads can write to the file
$null = $lock.Release()
}
}
}
After closer look at your attempt, it seems almost right:
Missing an opening { after ForEach-Object.
Missing a closing } before the finally block.
.Wait() should be inside the loop instead of outside.
I'm trying to execute a powershell script from within another powershell script. My current script runs fine, but I'd like to try and speed it up if possible.
What my script does is import a list of contacts into Each users Contacts folder through EWS.
In my powershell script the script that handles the importing I call it like this (ImportContacts is a Function without any arguments):
. $rootPath\ImportContacts\ImportContacts.ps1
ImportContacts
When I run it normally, as I mentioned above everything works fine, I just would like to speed it up. I tried following some examples of implementing runspacepool in Powershell to take advantage of using multiple threads, but it doesn't seem to be working properly for me. I'm sure it's a silly syntax error, but I have this currently:
Measure-Command{
$MaxThreads = 5
$RunspacePool = [runspacefactory]::CreateRunspacePool(1, $MaxThreads)
$RunspacePool.Open()
$Jobs = #()
ImportContacts | Foreach-Object {
$PowerShell = [powershell]::Create()
$PowerShell.RunspacePool = $RunspacePool
$PowerShell.AddScript({ImportContacts})
$Jobs += $PowerShell.BeginInvoke()
}
while ($Jobs.IsCompleted -contains $false)
{
Start-Sleep 1
}}
This seems to do the job, but I can't tell a difference with the speed.
EDIT 5-15-21
To better assist with the question, here is how I retrieve the user data. I have a file I call called "ExportedContacts.ps1"
It's called like so:
$Users = & $rootPath\ExportContacts\ExportContacts.ps1
The contents of the file is this
$Users = Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties extensionAttribute2, middlename, mobile, OfficePhone, GivenName, Surname, DisplayName, EmailAddress, Title, Company, Department, thumbnailPhoto | Where-Object {($_.extensionAttribute2 -like "DynamicDistro") -AND (($_.Mobile -ne $NULL) -OR ($_.OfficePhone -ne $NULL))} | Select-Object #{Name="First Name";Expression={$_.GivenName}},#{Name="Last Name";Expression={$_.Surname}},#{Name="Display Name";Expression={$_.DisplayName}},#{Name="Job Title";Expression={$_.Title}},#{Name="Company";Expression={$_.Company}},#{Name="Department";Expression={$_.Department}},#{Name="Mobile Phone";Expression={$_.Mobile}},#{Name="Home Phone";Expression={$_.OfficePhone}}, #{Name="Middle Name";Expression={$_.MiddleName}}, #{Name="E-mail Address";Expression={$_.EmailAddress}}, thumbnailPhoto | Sort-Object "Last Name"
return $Users
Then I import those contacts, similarly to how I mentioned above. The content of the import is as follows:
Function ImportContacts
{
Write-Host "Importing Contacts. This can take several minutes."
#******************************************************************
foreach ($ContactItem in $Users)
{
$service.ImpersonatedUserId = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ImpersonatedUserId([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ConnectingIdType]::SmtpAddress, $EmailAddress);
$ExchangeContact = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.Contact($service);
$ExchangeContact.NickName = ('{0} {1}' -f $ContactItem."First Name", $ContactItem."Last Name"). Trim()
$ExchangeContact.DisplayName = $ExchangeContact.NickName;
$ExchangeContact.FileAs = $ExchangeContact.NickName;
$ExchangeContact.EmailAddresses[[Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.EmailAddressKey]::EmailAddress1] = $ContactItem."E-mail Address";
$ExchangeContact.PhoneNumbers[[Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.PhoneNumberKey]::HomePhone] = $ContactItem."Home Phone";
$ExchangeContact.PhoneNumbers[[Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.PhoneNumberKey]::MobilePhone] = $ContactItem."Mobile Phone";
$ExchangeContact.Department = $ContactItem."Department";
$ExchangeContact.CompanyName = $ContactItem."Company";
$ExchangeContact.JobTitle = $ContactItem."Job Title";
$ExchangeContact.MiddleName = $ContactItem."Middle Name";
# Save the contact
$ExchangeContact.Save($ContactsFolder.Id);
}
}
I am also including the File that creates the contacts folder I specify and also deletes existing contacts (if the folder already exists), so that each import is a clean and updated import. I'd be curious if there is a faster way to clean the existing items?
Function CreateContactsFolder
{
Write-Host "Creating Contacts Folder and Cleaning up stale items. This can take a couple minutes."
Try
{
$service.ImpersonatedUserId = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ImpersonatedUserId([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ConnectingIdType]::SmtpAddress, $EmailAddress);
$RootFolder = [Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.Folder]::Bind($service,[Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.WellKnownFolderName]::MsgFolderRoot)
$RootFolder.Load()
#Check to see if they have a contacts folder that we want
$FolderView = new-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.FolderView(1000)
$ContactsFolderSearch = $RootFolder.FindFolders($FolderView) | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -eq $FolderName}
if($ContactsFolderSearch)
{
$ContactsFolder = [Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ContactsFolder]::Bind($service,$ContactsFolderSearch.Id);
#If folder exists, connect to it. Clear existing Contacts, and reupload new (UPDATED) Contact Info
Write-Host "Folder alreads exists. We will remove all contacts under this folder."
# Attempt to empty the target folder up to 10 times.
$tries = 0
$max_tries = 0
while ($tries -lt 2)
{
try
{
$tries++
$ErrorActionPreference='Stop'
$ContactsFolder.Empty([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.DeleteMode]::HardDelete, $true)
$tries++
}
catch
{
$ErrorActionPreference='SilentlyContinue'
$rnd = Get-Random -Minimum 1 -Maximum 10
Start-Sleep -Seconds $rnd
$tries = $tries - 1
$max_tries++
if ($max_tries -gt 100)
{
Write-Host "Error; Cannot empty the target folder; `t$EmailAddress"
}
}
}
}
else
{
#Contact Folder doesn't exist. Let's create it
try
{
Write-Host "Creating new Contacts Folder called $FolderName"
$ContactsFolder = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ContactsFolder($service);
$ContactsFolder.DisplayName = $FolderName
$ContactsFolder.Save([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.WellKnownFolderName]::MsgFolderRoot)
}
catch
{
Write-Host "Error; Cannot create the target folder; `t$EmailAddress"
}
}
return $ContactsFolder
}
Catch

I'm at a bit of a loss with the script I am trying to pull.
In short: I want to scan my domain-computers for WinRM connectivity - and I can do that just fine. The problem is, that it takes up to 5 minutes to finish - thats why I want to multithread the task.
Working NON MULTITHREAD code:
# this is normaly a textfile with lots of machine hostnames
$computers = "PC100","PC106","PC124","PC115","PC21"
function checkMachine($computers){
$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
foreach ($item in $computers){
#the function contest only performs a ping and returne $true or $false
$connection = ConTest($item)
if($connection){
try{
$winRM = test-wsman -ComputerName $item
if($winRM){
write-host "winRM"
[void] $objListboxLeft.Items.Add($item)
}
}catch{
write-host "NO winRM"
[void] $objListboxCenter.Items.Add($item)
}
}else{
write-host "offline"
[void] $objListboxRight.Items.Add($item)
}
}
}
this is basically just a small portion of what my skript does/will do but it's the part that takes ages.
My failing runspace test - I basically fail to get ANY results at all. Nothing in textboxes, no output on my commandline and I basically have no idea what I am doing wrong.
Multithread code:
function MulticheckMachine($computers){
$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
$runspaceCollection = #()
$runspacePool = [RunspaceFactory]::CreateRunspacePool(1,5)
$runspacePool.open()
$scriptBlock = {
Param($item)
$connection = ConTest($item)
if($connection){
try{
test-wsman -ComputerName $item
$winRM = test-wsman -ComputerName $item
if($winRM){
write-host "winRM"
[void] $objListboxLeft.Items.Add($item)
}
}catch{
write-host "NO winRM"
[void] $objListboxCenter.Items.Add($item)
}
}else{
write-host "offline"
[void] $objListboxRight.Items.Add($item)
}
}
Foreach($item in $computers){
$powershell = [PowerShell]::Create().AddScript($scriptBlock).AddArgument($item)
$powershell.runspacePool = $runspacePool
[Collections.Arraylist]$runspaceCollection += New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property #{
Runspace = $powershell.BeginInvoke()
PowerShell = $powershell
}
$runspaceCollection
}
While($runspaceCollection){
Foreach($runspace in $runspaceCollection.ToArray()){
If($runspace.Runspace.IsCompleted){
$runspace.PowerShell.EndInvoke($runspace.Runspace)
$runspace.PowerShell.Dispose()
$runspaceCollection.Remove($runspace)
}
}
}
}
the runspace code comes from a mix of these guides:

http://newsqlblog.com/2012/05/22/concurrency-in-powershell-multi-threading-with-runspaces/
I hope someone can help me out and tell me where/why I fail. Thanks!
Well, thanks for the hints but the problem was far more basic.
I was trying to get my data at the wrong position. Also, I simplified my script a bit. I don't call functions in functions anymore.
Note1: I did not realize I can/need to work with return values within my scriptblock for the runspace.
Note2: I am now collecting my data and inserting it into my listboxes (or where-ever else I wanted to) at the end of my function within the while loop - where I basically build-back my runspaces.
Note3: All "GUI parts" I reference to are located in a different file and do exist!
I got the duration down to roughly 20 seconds (from almost 5 minutes before)
The number of threads I use is a bit random, it's one of the combinations that works fastest.
Code:
function multiCheckMachine($computers){
$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
$runspaceCollection = #()
$runspacePool = [RunspaceFactory]::CreateRunspacePool(1,50)
$runspacePool.open()
$scriptBlock = {
Param($item)
$FQDNitem = "$item.domain.com"
$address = nslookup $FQDNitem
if($address -like "addresses*"){
$address = $address[5] -replace ".* ",""
}else{
$address = $address[4] -replace ".* ",""
}
$con = ping -n 1 $address
if($con[2] -like "*Bytes*"){
$winRM = test-wsman -ComputerName $item
if($winRM){
return "$item.winRM"
}else{
return "$item.NOremote"
}
}else{
return "$item.offline"
}
}
Foreach($item in $computers){

I am attempting to change all the files in a library from one content type to another. This is in SharePoint Online so I'm using the CSOM. I am new to this so I'm stuck at where to go from what I have below.
I think my biggest issue is getting the values of the content types. That and I'm so used to SP On Premise I'm having trouble grasping this CSOM stuff. Much thanks to anyone that can help point me in the right direction!

I have an Application pool that has a lot of applications been assigned to it, it won't let me rename.
Beside delete and creating a new application pool, is there anyway to get a new name for my application pool? I don't want to go and reassign every application in it.
Assign applications to another pool, rename the one you wanted renamed. Re-assign applications back to your pool.
IIS doesn't support other options
This was the simplest way that I could work it out, although I can't believe this isn't easier.
Import-Module WebAdministration
$oldName = "OldAppPool";
$newName = "NewAppPool";
if(-not (Test-Path IIS:\AppPools\TempPool)){
New-WebAppPool TempPool
}
$tempAppPool = Get-Item IIS:\AppPools\TempPool
foreach($site in Get-ChildItem IIS:\Sites){
$apps = $site | Get-ChildItem | Where-Object { $_.ApplicationPool -eq $oldName }
foreach($app in $apps){
$path = ("IIS:\Sites\{0}\{1}" -f $site.name, $app.name)
$path
Set-ItemProperty $path applicationPool TempPool
}
}
Set-ItemProperty "IIS:\AppPools\$oldName" -Name name -Value $newName
foreach($site in Get-ChildItem IIS:\Sites){
$apps = $site | Get-ChildItem | Where-Object { $_.ApplicationPool -eq "TempPool" }
foreach($app in $apps){
$path = ("IIS:\Sites\{0}\{1}" -f $site.name, $app.name)
$path
Set-ItemProperty $path applicationPool $newName
}
}
Remove-WebAppPool TempPool
No, there isn't.
Either put up with the name, or create a new App Pool and assign the applications one-by-one.
If you need to repeat it on multiple servers, you can even automate it with ADSI and JavaScript or VBScript:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms525389(v=vs.90).aspx
I've created similar script to automate this job.
It is a bit different from the other answer here:
It works for WebSites in addition to WebApplications;
It works for all pools: with and without assigned applications;
Powershell script:
Import-Module WebAdministration
Function Rename-AppPool([String]$oldName="", [String]$newName="") {
if ($oldName -eq "") {
Write-Warning "Parameter 'oldName' was not provided."

Rename-AppPool "OldName" "NewBetterName"
Yes, there is an option. Create a dummy app pool or make use of DefaultApppool. Associate the existing site to the defaultapppool . Now go to the original app pool, Stop the app pool and rename.
Associate back the url to the renamed appool.
